New to vaping? Here are 10 tips to consider on your journey to becoming a vaping veteran.

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.

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.

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.

As with safe storage, following safe practices during the “steeping” of e-liquids is absolutely vital to protect children or pets from disastrous exposure.

Vaping makes quitting smoking easier, but it still isn't exactly easy. To maximize your chances of switching, you'll need to learn the basics about vaping and how to set yourself up for success.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

Electronic mods have in-built safety features, but mechanical mods depend entirely on you, so taking some extra steps to stay safe is absolutely vital.

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. E-cigarettes use a nicotine-infused solution to produce vapor, and this can occasionally leak out of the mouthpiece and give users a hit of bitter-tasting liquid.
