Welcome to vaping! To be honest, we're excited to have you. If you're quitting smoking, or just curious because your friends are now talking about sub ohming and juices, this is the page for you. We're gonna go over just what you need to know to get started on your first vape. Below is a little FAQ we put together to get you started.
Q: I heard vaping is the same as smoking?
A: Short answer, no. But you want the knowledgeable answer. So here it is. Let's compare the two. We'll start with chemicals. In your average cigarette, you have over 4000 chemicals (at least) with about 43 of them being direct cancer causing agents. In vapour juice, you have 4 ingredients. And we'll name 'em for you. Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerin, Natural/Artificial flavors (various but all flavoring in most foods so you're eating it already), and lastly, nicotine. That's it. Seriously! Nothing more. And NONE of them are cancer causing agents! Next is secondhand smoke vs secondhand vapor. We'll wrap this up very quick. Secondhand smoke releases over 7000 chemicals in the air (Mixtures of the 4000 created new chemicals because science) with about 70 that cause cancer. Secondhand vapor creates 1-6ppm (very miniscule amount) of nicotine. That's it. No other harmful chemicals have been found in secondhand vapor. You can view the article we picked up from the CDC here. All in all you can be comfortable in knowing that vaping is in fact, a way healthier way to get your nicotine and enjoy wonderful flavors.
Q: Ok. So I want to quit smoking. What kind of vapor should I get for that?
A: Well, a few years ago, I'd say "Well, there's vape A and vape B, which do the same thing but one has flashy lights. Thankfully we've come so far in such a short time, I don't have the space on this webpage to explain all the options you have. Now, vaping can be tailored to your own tastes. Did you want a heavy throat hit? Did you want a smooth light taste, do you want to be able to drop it without it breaking?

There are so many out there nowadays, you will want to go into a shop in person to get one, only because of the huge amount of personalization that can be offered nowadays.
Q: So what's with this lingo? Sub-ohming, Mods, wicking. Sounds too technical.
A: Yeah it does. However that's enthusiast talk. It'll come with time. All you need to know right now is what makes a vape, well... vape.
Every vaping device is made up of the same components. That's right. The little mini vape you see has the same components as the guy walking around with a giant box making huge clouds. This visual description should help.
That's it. Every vaping device is made up of the components you see above. And to be honest, it's all you really need to know. The juice goes in the tank, and you're good to go! Coils can last upwards of 3-4 weeks depending on use and brand. It's a very simple and effective way.
Q: But I heard a bill was being passed to make it illegal so why should I even get into it?
A: Bill 45 has come into play and as of January 1st, 2016, it has made it illegal to sell to persons under the age of 19. That's about all that's come into effect.
