First off, congratulations for deciding
to switch to vaping! But before you dive
in, here is our handy list of do’s & don’ts, to set yourself up for
success, and avoid common pitfalls.
Do: Find A
Reputable Vape Shop
A reputable vape shop specializes in
vaping and usually carries only vaping devices, eLiquid, and vaping
accessories. As much as we love convenience stores for their convenience, it’s
not the best place to start your vaping journey if you want to succeed. A good
shop will have a wide variety of products and cater to all levels of vaping
from beginner to hobbyist, and a reputable shop will take the time to discuss
your needs, answer any questions you may have, and ensure that you are
knowledgeable and comfortable with your new electronic cigarette. Your success
is their success so a good shop will only recommend products suited to your
needs. As well, you can feel good about supporting a local small business that
is passionate about helping people switch to vaping!
Do: Sample
eLiquid Flavours
We like when people come into sample
eLiquid flavours, not only because we like to ensure our customers are
satisfied, but also people are often surprised by flavour profiles they might
have not otherwise considered. It is especially true with vaping that you won’t
know what you like until you try it. Sample many different brands and flavours,
keep an open mind and be confident about your choices before you spend your
money.
Do: Ask Questions
It is important to honestly examine your
smoking addiction, and use eLiquid with an appropriate nicotine level to suit
your needs. Ask questions about what nicotine strength would work best with
your device, and suit your needs. Make sure you understand how to operate your
particular device. Most vape shops have comfy chairs and a lounge area set up;
you can take your purchase home, or you can unbox and assemble your device
right in the shop, with knowledgeable and experienced professionals close by to
offer tips and assistance.
Do: Research
You are here, so you’ve already got a
jump on things, but you can go further. Devices, eLiquids, even accessories
will usually have a wealth of unbiased reviews and helpful information, all
just a google search away. As well if you’re planning to visit a vape shop,
narrowing down to one or two devices you are interested in, or a few particular
features you’d like your device to have, will give you a good place to start
when you arrive at the shop.
Do: Connect With
The Vaping Community
The vaping community is a group of people
with one core commonality; we were all newbies once. Getting linked to the
community online via social media is a great way to network with other vapers,
ask questions, and find the most trusted reviews, tutorials, and vape shops.
Do: Get Rid Of
Your Analog Cigarettes
Alright, don’t panic. If you can’t bring
yourself to part with them right away, then just toss them in the freezer and
forget about them. You’ll find them fossilized in the freezer frost a year from
now. Trust me on this.
Do: Take Good
Care Of Your Vapourizer
A pack of cigarettes gets used and
tossed, but a vapourizer is an investment. Protect your investment by keeping
it clean and in good working condition.
Do: Get Backups
Once you’re confident about vaping and
you’ve found a device that suits you, it’s wise to invest in a backup device.
Keep a spare battery/tank setup or, when you upgrade, keep your old unit as a
backup. Set yourself up to succeed, and you will.
Don’t: Overdo It
It may be tempting to go for maximum
strength eLiquid when you’re first starting out, to make sure it’s strong
enough to work. Don’t do this. E-Liquid can be strong, and if the nicotine
level is too high, it will be difficult to vape. We believe that it's easier to
vape a lower nicotine strength than a higher one.
Don’t: Dual Use
Some people are so astonished by how easy
it is to switch to vaping. After the first pull from their vape, they have said
goodbye to smoking forever! For others, it may not be such a quick
transition. Either way, it’s worth at
least trying to quit smoking completely when you switch to vaping. Let your
body go through the adjustment without dragging it out by continuing to smoke.
Let your body clean out all the gunk and chemicals from decades of smoking and allow
yourself time to get accustomed to receiving nicotine via this new method.
Enjoy your sense of taste and smell. You should start to notice them in about
24 to 48 hours.
Don’t: Get
Discouraged
Most people find it easy to switch to
vaping, but some don’t. Maintaining a vapourizer is an adjustment from buying
smokes all the time, as well it may take your body some time to adjust to the
switch physically. It shouldn’t feel like a huge struggle, though. If you’re
having difficulty, check to see if there are any changes you can make to give
yourself an easier time. You may need to try a different setting on your
device, or a different strength of eLiquid, or it may be time to clean your
device and change your atomizer head. Issues are most likely to occur at the
onset before you’ve got a handle on things. Commit to giving this a fair shot
and don’t let a rough beginning keep you from having a happy ending.
Do: Enjoy Your
Vaping Experience, And Your New Lease On Life!
