Vaping is a modern method of inhaling nicotine and other chemicals. It has become increasingly popular among young people.
The risks of vaping are many, including lung and other organ damage, breathing problems, addiction and more. Parents and professionals should be aware of the risks.
Flavors
E-cigarette liquids come in a wide variety of flavors. They can range from fruity to tobacco.
Flavors are an important part of vaping, because they can attract people who would otherwise not try it. They can also help to encourage smoking cessation.
A study published in the journal Scientific Reports found that some flavors – including cinnamon, vanilla and cherry – react with propylene glycol, which is used in many commercial vape juices, to create new chemicals that can irritate human lung tissue.
Other flavorings, such as strawberry, contain a diketone called diacetyl, which has been shown to cause DNA damage and inflammation in the lungs.
Pods
Pods are used in vaping to deliver e-liquid and nicotine. Generally, pods are less powerful than a full vape mod and have a lower cost than a similar device with a tank.
Unlike disposable e-cigarettes, you can reuse your pods for a long time as long as you refill them regularly or dispose of them when they run out.
Pod can be filled with either nicotine salt or traditional e-liquid. Nicotine salts are commonly used on pod vapes because they offer a smoother draw and a higher nicotine content than traditional juices.
Liquids
Vaping liquids are the main component of an e-cigarette or vape pen. They are made up of a mixture of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin and flavouring.
Nicotine is also present in some liquids, either as freebase nicotine or as a salt form. You can choose from high or low nicotine concentrations, depending on your needs and preference.
Choosing the right liquid for your atomizer can make all the difference between a good and bad experience. If your atomizer isn’t suitable for a particular liquid, you may experience spitback or little to no vapor.
Batteries
Batteries are a big part of vaping, but they get a lot of bad press. It’s no secret that these powerful cells can explode and cause injury.
Luckily, battery explosions are a rare occurrence (about 1 in 10 million) and 100% avoidable.
They can happen when batteries are charged or removed from a device unattended. That’s why it is important to charge your e-cig using the charging cable that came with it.
Keeping your batteries safe is the best way to ensure that you can enjoy your vaping device for as long as possible. Follow these simple rules to keep your batteries in tip-top condition and prevent the most common mistakes that lead to battery explosions.
Chargers
Vaping devices, also known as vaporizers, vary in design and power. Typically, a battery source (vape mod) powers a heating element (coil) that vaporizes e-juice.
The vapor is then inhaled by the user via a small mouthpiece. The coil is usually a metal one, but there are atomizers available with low-resistance wicks that create more vapor than standard resistance atomizers.
Charger plates are decorative pieces that can add a touch of elegance to any table. They serve several purposes including protecting tables from spills, stains, and damage due to heat or condensation.
Vaping Accessories
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been vaping for years, vape accessories are essential to your experience. They allow you to personalize your rig, and some even improve the overall quality of your hits.
Changing the mouthpiece on your e-cig is an easy and quick way to make your device a different, more stylish look. Adding new batteries, charging cables and cotton to your kit can also help you customize your experience.
