When vaping first became popular a few years ago, everybody saw it as a trendy thing that would go away as quickly as it arrived, like many trends before it. In reality, vaping is still a hobby that millions of people enjoy. The industry around vaping evolves with the market, offering better mods and atomisers along with improved e-juice and an enhanced vaping experience.
I remember the first time I decided to try vaping, and I know how daunting the experience can be, especially today when you have more options than ever to choose from. If you’re a beginner or you’re thinking about trying to vape, here are some of the things you need to know based on my personal experience.
Get a Good Kit
We all started with a kit. Most people who vape started with a kit that they could use out of the box. Only a very few built their own set from different components. It is actually okay to start with a kit, but there is one thing to keep in mind: get a good starter kit.
The first kit you use will determine your experience with vaping. There are some very good kits on the market that you can look into. The SMOK Alien Kit, for instance, includes a mod that supports up to 220W and the company’s TFV8 Baby Beast tank. The latter is very popular because it has multiple pre-built coils that you can use based on your personal preferences.
SMOK Alien Kit is a great starter kit because it is very robust. You don’t have to change a thing. You can even use the kit for years without ever needing a new tank; you just have to replace the atomiser regularly and you’re all set. Settling for a bad (but cheaper) starter kit will only hurt your vaping experience and cost you more money in the long run.
Try Different E-Juice
I have so many bottles of e-juice from when I first started vaping. Back then, it was much more difficult to get samples of different flavours, so I had to buy full bottles of e-juice I may not like just to try the flavours. I’m sure a lot of people experienced the same thing because you can now find online forums and marketplaces where hobbyists sell their unused bottles of e-juice.
Today, however, you don’t have to go through all the trouble of buying big bottles of e-juice just to give it a try. Many producers now provide samples – usually 5ml or 10ml in size – either for free or for a small fee. There is no shortage of flavours to try either, plus it is much easier to get the best liquids at great prices thanks to online retailers such as Vaperswarehouse.co.uk whose e juice flavours I can’t get enough of.
Find a Comfort Zone
The most important advice I can give you is to find your own comfort zone. Some love to go for the flavours they like. Others play with mods and RDAs to get the most vapour. You just have to understand why you vape, what you enjoy the most from the experience, and just go for it.
There are also those who love vaping for the technology behind it. They collect tanks and RDAs as well as mods. Some even go as far as building their own mechanical mods. You can choose this route too if you love tinkering with gadgets and you are willing to learn the mechanics of vaping.
Whichever route you take, you can never go wrong with vaping. It is a fun hobby to try and explore and you now have millions of other vapers waiting to connect and share the experience through online forums and social media.
