Here’s a straightforward, objective guide to the issue of diacetyl in e-cigarettes. The aim is simple: to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision about what you vape.

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.

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?

So, people are vaping caffeine now. It was only a matter of time before the occasional caffeine-spiked e-liquid turned into a full-blown purpose-built caffeine vaporizer, but the question remains as to whether there’s any point in using one. Sadly, vaping caffeine appears to offer no concrete benefits and poses unknown risks.

Learning about PG allergies, conditions affected by nicotine and the advice for pregnant vapers helps you avoid health consequences when you use e-cigs.

If you have been smoking cigarettes for a long time, you’re most likely suffering from the many diseases and side effects that come with smoking and you must be seeking a safer alternative that can help you quit smoking.

One of the most commonly cited arguments against electronic cigarettes is that “there is no way of knowing what’s inside them.” Shocking as it may sound; you can rest assured that is far from true. Consumer safety regulations protect people from dangerous substances, and most respectable manufacturers send their products for third-party testing to further verify their safety for consumption. In comparison to tobacco smoke, which has at least 5,000 chemicals (the actual figure is unknown), electronic cigarettes have a clear advantage because they only contain a handful of chemicals.

Learn how to safely charge your rechargeable e-cig (cig-alike models), mods, and Advanced Personal Vaporizers to avoid catastrophic explosions or battery failure.

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.

What do I do if I spill e-liquid? How should I store it? How do I refill my tank? With some basic e-liquid safety knowledge, you’ll be ready for any scenario.

E-cigarettes have been hailed by many as a safer alternative to tobacco smoking, but a persistent problem still dogs users of the vast majority of e-cig brands.

Rebuildable atomizers are meant for advanced users. As the name suggests, the user must rebuild their wicks on regular basis.
