Few Tips for A Smooth Transition from Smoking to Vaping
Have you decided to make the switch from smoking to vaping but are unsure of how to get started? If yes, leave all your worries aside as we have put together a simple yet effective guide to help you make this transition smooth and easy.
The best part about vaping is that both the e-cigarettes and liquids come in a variety of choices, and we are sure that you can find something that matches your preferences. The first thing that you need to understand here is that this is not going to remove the need for a cigarette instantaneously. It is termed as a transition for a reason. The tip here is to stick to the process.
1. Liquids
The most crucial thing about switching to vaping is choosing the right device and the apt liquid to suit you perfectly well. Liquids are available in a number of flavors and a variety of ‘feels’ while inhaling. You can get started by choosing the right amount of nicotine in your liquid.
2. Strengths
The most commonly available strengths are 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 milligrams. The strengths somewhat act in accordance with the user’s smoking habits. If you were a smoker who smoked a pack of cigarettes per day easily, 12 mg would fit you well.
Similarly, if you smoked two packs of cigarettes per day, 18 mg should be your choice of strength. If you could only smoke about half a pack of cigarettes in a day, you should be fine with 6mg strength.
To help ease your transition, you need to carefully pick a liquid that will match your habits. This way, you can manage your desire for nicotine. Otherwise, you would either feel the need for more nicotine or be too sick from high nicotine consumption.
Choosing the exact amount is of crucial importance. When you get used to consuming this fixed amount, you can, over time, reduce the amount of nicotine being consumed to reach the 0 mg nicotine liquids.
3. PG/VG Ratios
Liquids are available in different PG/VG ratios. These are basically different liquids that are combined with various flavors and nicotine to generate the vapor. PG & VG are capable of creating different ‘feels’ while inhaling the vapor, as well.
PG is known for a stronger ‘throat hit,’ which makes the experience of vaping feel much closer to smoking a cigarette. Most of the ex-smokers crave this feeling and get distracted by more VG sided liquids. VG creates much more vapor when exhaling, which is something many marijuana users prefer, and it also offers a smooth experience of inhalation. The smoke also feels thicker.
4. Flavors
Liquids are also available in multiple flavors. They range from ones that are similar to tobacco flavor and that have the general taste of cigarettes to the ones that actually make you feel like you’re tasting menthol or some fruits.
In case you try to stop smoking, you should make sure that you steer away from liquids that come with a cigarette flavor. Such flavor will have a negative impact on people who wish to quit smoking.
5. Choosing the right device
The three base forms are as follows:
Cigalike
These are the tiniest and cheapest of all the e-cigarettes available. They are called so because of their appearance, which is similar to that of a cigarette. They are usually available in 2 or 3 pieces.
This type of e-cigarette is great for people who have just begun as they are both cheap and resemble a cigarette. They do not offer a great deal of options, and hence, your vaping experience cannot be customized owing to their small size and limited components.
Vape pens
Vape pens are a more advanced version compared to the cigalikes. They are bigger and also incorporate better technology. They are available along with a clearomizer, which is a technologically advanced atomizer and also features a drip section to inhale.
Their big size allows for a stronger battery, and this implies that their lifespan would be longer. This automatically translates to enhanced vapor production and also supports a huge variety of liquids.
Box mods
The last and the highest advanced model is the box mod e-cigarette. They provide the highest customizability of all the available models of e-cigarettes and are usually expensive. They look like a cylinder and provide a great degree of options for functionality and appearance as you can pick and choose the parts you want for your mod.
The right choice
Having a smooth transition from cigarettes to vaping can get even more difficult if you fail to choose the right options for you. Use our tips to your advantage and find the best ones based on your preferences!
