Nicotine is supposedly more toxic than arsenic. Learning the symptoms of nicotine poisoning is essential for vapers, but it isn’t as toxic as you may believe.

Reports of battery explosions and tragic e-liquid poisonings serve as a stark reminder to vapers: e-cig safety is a topic you should take very, very seriously.

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.

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.

The myriad potential benefits of electronic cigarettes are leading more and more smokers to make the switch every day. The only problem is that e-cigs are essentially still a brand new technology, and it’s easy to feel out of your depth when you’re first considering the different brands and the various options.

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?

Some e-liquids melt right through polycarbonate tanks. Learning which liquids are affected and how to prevent a disaster is essential for flavor-loving vapers.

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.

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.

The core appeal of vaping is that it’s very, very similar to smoking. To switch, pretty much all you have to do is vape when you would have smoked and try to resist any cravings. However, it’s really a little more complicated than that. So here’s a brief guide for smokers new to vaping who are looking to get the most they can out of it.

For the just-switching smoker aiming to replace their combusted tobacco habit, navigating the veritable maze of e-liquid in search of a pleasant, tobacco-infused flavor can be a challenge. So what are the major types of tobacco e-liquid? Which tastes the best? Here’s a brief run-down of the options.

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.

These days you’ll barely ever see a mod released which doesn’t offer temperature control. But what is TC vaping? How does it work? Why would you want to use it? What coils can you use with it? Here’s everything you need to know.

Switching to vaping is a sign that you want to minimize the risks of your nicotine use as much as possible. But are some ways to vape safer than others? Although we can't be 100 % certain, there are a few steps you can take that will probably make vaping even safer.

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.

Nobody wants burned or blistered lips from vaping, and there are many options for things like heat-resistant drip tips to protect you against the risk.

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.
