HOW DO VAPE KITS WORK?

There is a lot of e-cigarette and vape kits to choose from, but all vaping devices essentially work the same.  They all contain a battery and an electronic device called an atomizer which vapourizes a nicotine flavoured e-liquid into a smoke-like vapour.  This allows you to still get the nicotine your body craves while maintaining a realistic smoking sensation.

E-Cigarette Kits all contain the same components – a rechargeable battery, the device - either a refill (sometimes referred to as a cartomizer or cartridge) that has a heating device called a coil built in or a tank which has a replaceable coil, and an e-liquid which contains flavouring and nicotine.  With some e-cigarettes (closed systems) when you draw on the end, the battery is activated which heats up the coil and then vapourizes the e-liquid into a form which you inhale – very similar to a cigarettes.  With some vape kits, you may need to press a button to activate the battery to start the vapourizing process.

It may sound complicated and a very futuristic feat of engineering but in reality, the science of vaping is really simple.

Beyond this, there are some slight variations with different vape and e-cigarette kits as to whether you have to add the e-liquid yourself or if it comes pre-filled, whether the battery has a default power setting or if you can adjust it yourself.   The easiest to use e-cigarettes are commonly referred to as “closed” systems and the e-liquid is pre-filled in the refill making it hassle-free.

DOES VAPING HELP YOU QUIT SMOKING?

Quitting smoking can be a very different journey for everyone.  For the lucky ones, they can just decide to stop smoking and that’s it, they have quit.  No more cravings, no withdrawals, nothing! However, for most of us, quitting smoking can be one of the most challenging things we can do.

HOW CAN I LIMIT NICOTINE CRAVINGS WHEN USING A VAPE KIT TO STOP SMOKING?

When you are starting to quit smoking using an e-cigarette, one of the most important considerations is selecting the right nicotine strength in your vape.  Getting this right will mean your e-cigarette will help to deliver a similar amount of nicotine compared to the cigarettes you are using, thereby helping to satisfy your cravings. 

Most vape and e-cigarettes have a selection of nicotine levels available in either the pre-filled e-cigarette refills or e-liquids.  Finding the right nicotine strength may take a bit of trial and error, but once you find the correct strength, it should be smooth sailing. 

There is a tendency for some people to select a low strength of nicotine when they are first using a vape kit to help them to quit.  They may believe that if they start out on a low level straight away, it will be easier to quit completely.  Unfortunately, if your nicotine level is too low, you may still feel the need to reach for a cigarette.

We always suggest starting with the highest strength nicotine refills with your e-cigarette starter kit to get used to using a vape instead of a cigarette.  Some people take to vaping like a duck to water.  For others, it may be a short transition period of using they new e-cigarette starter kit while they slowly reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke every day.  Whatever approach works to help you reduce and eventually eliminate your desire to smoke a cigarette is the right approach.

E-Cigarettes are designed to not only mimic the look and feel of a cigarette but also to helps to satisfy the other major triggers that cause you to smoke.  From the physical hand-to-mouth action, the neurological stimulation from nicotine, the satisfaction of inhaling the smoke and the release of an exhale, vaping has been designed to deliver a realistic smoking sensation.  All of these factors combined are what makes e-cigarettes such a successful tool to help people to quit smoking.

IS VAPING SAFER THAN SMOKING CIGARETTES?

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF E-CIGARETTES?

Generally speaking, there are two different styles of e-cigarettes that you might use to help you quit smoking – Closed E-Cigarettes or Open Tanks systems.  Both styles essentially mimic the sensation of smoking by delivering a flavoured nicotine vapour that you can inhale like a cigarette.

Closed systems – also referred to as cig-a-likes or pod systems, look more like a cigarette, are designed to be incredibly easy to use, require no messy refilling or replacement of coils as the e-liquid comes pre-filled and are usually the first vape that people use when they start quitting smoking with an e-cigarette.

Open systems can require a bit more work and maintenance as you need to refill the e-liquid yourself and you will have to replace the various components on a regular basis.  For many people who have been vaping for a while, they may choose to move to an open system.

While many think that open systems are cheaper to use because e-liquids can be less expensive that refills or pods, the initial cost of an open system and the ongoing cost of replacing the components can add up, sometimes to be more expensive than a closed system.  For many smokers, the simplicity of a cigalike or closed system far outweighs any perceived cost savings. 

Here at SMOKO, our E-Cigarette and VAPE closed systems both deliver a realistic smoking sensation, are easy to use and are filled with our authentic tasting e-liquids that are all Made in the UK. 

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE BEST E-CIGARETTE TO QUIT SMOKING?

Choosing the right vape kit really depends on a number of factors.  Some of most important things to consider are how much you currently smoke, do you like a strong hit and where you plan on using your vape.

Depending on how much you smoke will determine whether the E-Cigarette or VAPE starter kit is best for you.  For a lighter smoker (under 20 a day), the E-Cigarette will deliver a great smoking experience that should satisfy your cravings.  If you tend to smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, you may want to use the SMOKO VAPE as it has a slightly more powerful battery which delivers a stronger smoking experience.

Also the choice of nicotine strength in your e-cigarette or vape refills can help you find the right experience for you.  A lighter smoker may look to use one of our lower strengths while a heavier smoker will want to choose a higher nicotine strength.  Our E-Cigarette and VAPE refills come in a range of strengths from 2.0%, 1.8%, 1.5% and 1.1%.

The same applies if you are after a stronger throat hit.  The SMOKO VAPE kit will be more suitable for a heavier smoker due to the extra power that the battery delivers.  But also choosing a higher strength nicotine level will be most suitable for a heavier smoker.

And finally, if you are on the go all day long, both the E-Cigarette and the VAPE starter kit would be great solutions, but if you use the E-Cigarette, it is also a good idea to keep an extra rechargeable battery and refill with you in case your current one runs out.

With both of the designs, they deliver a truly realistic smoking sensation, are small and discreet, super easy to use and incredibly satisfying.
