Vape Delivery

E-liquids, used in vaping devices, come in various types based on their ingredients and nicotine content. The most common types include freebase nicotine e-liquid, which delivers a stronger throat hit and is ideal for higher nicotine concentrations; nicotine salt e-liquid, which provides a smoother experience with higher nicotine levels, making it suitable for those transitioning from smoking. Additionally, e-liquids vary in their VG (vegetable glycerin) and PG (propylene glycol) ratios, with high VG blends producing more vapor and smoother hits, while high PG blends offer a stronger throat hit and better flavor.

Nicotine strength in vaping is typically represented in milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL) or as a percentage. For example, a 6 mg/mL nicotine strength means there are 6 milligrams of nicotine in each milliliter of e-liquid. Alternatively, this can be expressed as a percentage, where 6 mg/mL equals 0.6% nicotine by volume. Lower strengths like 3 mg/mL (0.3%) are often used by light smokers or those who prefer minimal nicotine, while higher strengths, such as 18 mg/mL (1.8%) or 20 mg/mL (2%), are more common for those transitioning from traditional cigarettes who require a stronger nicotine hit. Nicotine salt e-liquids, used in some devices, often have higher nicotine levels, like 25-50 mg/mL, but deliver a smoother experience.

Vaping kits come in various types, each designed to suit different preferences and experience levels. The most basic are cigalikes, small and simple devices resembling traditional cigarettes, often used by beginners. Pod systems are compact and user-friendly, featuring replaceable or refillable pods, and are popular for their portability and ease of use. Vape pens are slim, pen-shaped devices with a larger battery and customizable settings, offering a balance between simplicity and performance. Box mods are advanced devices with larger batteries, adjustable power settings, and customizable features, ideal for experienced vapers who want more control over their vaping experience. Finally, mechanical mods are unregulated devices that require advanced knowledge to use safely, as they lack built-in safety features, offering raw power for experienced users seeking a customized experience.

Refilling your vaping device depends on the type of device you have:

• For Vape Pens and Mods: Unscrew the tank, pour e-liquid into the reservoir (avoiding the center tube), then reassemble the device.
• For Pod Systems: Remove the pod, open the fill port, and carefully add e-liquid. Close the port and reinsert the pod.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific device.

Coils should typically be replaced every 1-2 weeks, depending on usage. Signs that your coil needs replacing include:

• Burnt Taste: If your vapor tastes burnt, it’s time for a new coil.
• Reduced Vapor Production: If you’re not getting as much vapor as before, the coil might be wearing out.
• Gurgling Sounds: Unusual sounds could indicate that the coil is flooded or worn out.

Sub-ohm vaping refers to using a coil with a resistance of less than 1 ohm. This type of vaping produces larger vapor clouds and is often used with higher VG e-liquids. It’s popular among vapers who prefer intense flavors and cloud production.

Choosing the right vape depends on your experience level and vaping preferences:

• Beginners often prefer compact, easy-to-use pod systems or vape pens.
• Intermediate vapers might opt for more customizable devices like variable wattage mods.
• Advanced users may look for high-powered devices, such as box mods, that offer extensive control over wattage, temperature, and airflow.

Consider the battery life, size, ease of use, and whether you prefer tighter draws (similar to smoking) or larger clouds when choosing a device.

Leaking can occur for a variety of reasons:

• Overfilling: Make sure not to overfill your tank or pod.
• Damaged Seals: O-rings or seals may be worn, causing leaks.
• Improper Assembly: Ensure all parts of your device are tightened properly.
• Inappropriate E-Liquid: Some devices are designed for higher-VG or lower-VG e-liquids. Using the wrong ratio can lead to leaks.
• Airflow Settings: Wide-open airflow can cause e-liquid to flood the coil, leading to leaks.

If your vape continues to leak, consider cleaning the tank and checking for worn parts.

If your vape is not producing vapor, several things could be wrong:

• Battery Issues: Ensure your device is charged and powered on.
• Coil Problems: The coil may be burned out or improperly installed.
• E-Liquid Levels: Make sure there is enough e-liquid in the tank to cover the wicking ports of the coil.
• Airflow Blockage: Check for any blockages in the airflow or tank.
• Connection Issues: Ensure the coil is making proper contact with the device’s base.

Troubleshooting these common issues should get your vape back to normal.

A vape mod is an advanced vaping device that offers more control over the vaping experience. Unlike simple pod systems or vape pens, mods allow users to adjust settings like wattage, temperature, and airflow. Mods often feature larger batteries and are paired with tanks that can use sub-ohm or rebuildable coils for larger vapor production and enhanced flavor.
