Your throat hit is one of the most important things about your vaping experience. Too strong a throat hit can make you cough, and too weak a throat hit can make vaping less satisfying. Either one of these issues can make switching more difficult. Luckily, you can adjust your throat hit really easily.

Whether you’re still attempting to replace your deadly combusted tobacco habit with e-cigarettes, have tried to quit smoking using traditional methods and aren’t having much luck, or just happen to have decided to make the switch recently, getting some tips for successfully switching from smoking to vaping can help you stay on the wagon and wave goodbye to cigarettes for good.

Mixing your own e-liquids saves money, but opens you up to additional risks. Before you get into DIY mixing, make sure you’re well aware of the safety concerns.

How do manufacturers determine the expiry date of an e-liquid? How can I tell if a juice is bad? And is it dangerous to consume expired e-liquid?

If you ask for too much current from your battery – and your mod doesn’t have a safety cut-off – it could lead to disaster. That’s why vapers need Ohm’s law.

There are several factors that collectively shape the lifespan of your atomizer coil. The acidity level and the PG/VG consistency of your e-liquid both play an important role. Additionally, the amount you vape and the amount of power running to the coil are also contributing factors. Taking these factors into account, you can estimate how long a coil will last.

Two of the most common tasks you’ll have to do as a vaper is filling up a tank or clearomizer and replacing a spent coil for a new one. Thankfully for new vapers, these are both really easy to accomplish, regardless of the type of tank or clearomizer you have. Here's how to do it.

Vaping while driving may be safer than smoking, but only if you prepare for the journey sufficiently and heed some basic advice. And never drip and drive.

Mod not producing vapor? There are many potential causes for this problem, but thankfully most of them are easy to address if you know what you're doing. Here are the main things you should consider.

You’re probably noticing more and more of these as their popularity increases. They are the luxury and sports car versions of electronic cigarettes with names like Provari, Tesla and Vamo. Resembling something closer to a light saber than an e-cigarette, advanced personal vaporizers, or APVs, are turning vaping into an intricate hobby for heavy users. With all due respect for 510 “mini” e-cigs, there’s a vast world of customization beyond the standard starter kits so we thought we’d offer some insight for those of you interested in stepping up your vape game.

Are you spending too much on replacement coils? If you're willing to do a bit of tinkering and have experience with basic builds, you'll never have to buy a pack of new coils again.

The atomizer is what turns your e-juice into delicious, inhalable vapor, but like everything else when it comes to vaping, there are tons of options on the market, and to a beginner, it can seem very overwhelming. Should you get a sub-ohm tank or a basic clearomizer? What are RBAs, RTAs and RDAs? Does it really make a difference what atomizer you use?

E-cigarettes are a relatively new technology, and many users are unsure of exactly how an e-cig works. You might have no idea what a cartomizer is, what you would do with e-liquid or even how the e-cigarette makes vapor in the first place. Finding out the answers to the basic questions regarding e-cigs gives you an idea of how the technology works, why it has a reputation of being so safe and why you’re allowed to use them in most non-smoking areas. Welcome to the world of vaping.

Vaping is all about Ohm’s Law. When you move into the realms of APVs, where the atomizer resistance and voltage are both often variable, the weird-looking equations actually pretty much determine how powerful your hit of vapor is.

Many pods are designed to be single-use, but if you want to save money, they can often be "hacked" and refilled with any e-juice of your choosing. Here's how you can put any juice in the pods for the Juul, the Cync from VapeForward, the MyBlu and the Aspire Gusto.

Your wick is the part of your e-cig most likely to contaminate your vapor, so learning about preparation and general wick safety is vital for any rebuilders.
