Guide to Vaping for Beginners

What is vaping?

Vaping is just like smoking but in vaping, an aerosol is breathed in and out, also known as vapor. This is done through an e-cigarette or any other device of the sort. In vaping, e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco, instead, an aerosol is used which should not be confused with water vapors, that contain fragments free from impurities. As the harmful consequences of smoking are now known to everyone, vaping is on the rise due to e-cigarettes. In 2007, the USA started to present vaping to the general public for sale. Along with e-cigarettes, vaping can also be done through vape pens and Advanced Personal Vaporizers ( also called MODS). E-cigarettes are similar to normal cigarettes and vape pens to fountain pens. They both are simple and do not cost much as compared to the ones designed by the users themselves.

What constitutes a complete vaping?

There is a vast variety of vapor devices nowadays but a couple of features are common in all of them. For example, for warming up a coil, they all make use of lithium batteries. Due to the wick, e-liquid attracts the coil towards itself which warms it up. As a result, the coil dissipates which can be breathed in the way a normal cigarette is done. These are the only common aspects of vapor devices. Vapor devices are made of certain parts which are:

Device - Vaping devices are of different types when it comes to colors and shapes. They are different for different users. There are ones that are similar to normal cigarettes. There are also some that are similar to pens, tubes, and boxes as well. But their functionality is the same, that is, to use the battery for power usage and transfer it to the atomizer.

Battery - This is considered the most vital component of a vapor device. It is used for power. For power usage, more than one expendable current consuming batteries are used. Sometimes the unexpendable inner battery is also used. Devices with expendable batteries and the description regarding other batteries are available at this tutorial: Best Batteries for Mods and Vaping Safety.

Atomizer - It is incombustible which contains a couple of coils and wick and a carrier for e-liquid. Various designs include Sub-ohm Tank, RDA, RTA, RTDA, Vape Cartridge, etc. Every design has pros and cons of their own.

Coil(s) – It is made of resistance wire resulting in a coil somewhat similar to a spring. The resistance of the coil is dependent upon the wire it contains, the coil’s diameter and the wraps formed. Also, the electricity for power consumption and heat production is dependent on the resistance of the coil. Kanthal and NiChrome are used for making replacement coils. For safe vaping, Nickel is used.

E-liquid – It is also called e-juice. It is a mixture of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, food flavorings and occasionally nicotine. It is available in the form of PG/VG ratios and nicotine concentration. For starters, the nicotine concentration is high that is made less concentrated with time. Smokers begin with high concentration, like 18mg/ml (for severe addicts it is 24mg/ml) that is lowered to 12mg/ml just so they can feel the taste (the stronger the taste the lesser the nicotine). Nicotine concentration higher than 18mg/ml is not considered healthy. But less amount of nicotine can be used for addicted smokers because the taste becomes stronger as nicotine drops. It is to be kept in mind that users used to vapor devices intake less nicotine concentration because it remains the same when there is more intake of vapor. Less amount of vapor is present in devices with more nicotine strength. Accustomed users prefer 3 mg/ml or 6 mg/ml e-liquids.

Wicks – It is produced from a couple of different things like cotton, twisted silica cord, eco-wool, ceramic and stainless steel mesh. E-liquid draws to the coil due to the wick. These components are used for transferring e-juice to the tank for vaporization.

Which vape kit suits for beginners?

For a newbie, vaping might seem a bit complicated and mixed up. The terms used are also considered new and different. Tanks, coils, sub-ohm, clearomizers, mods and juice are not used in the same context as in real life. They can be difficult for people who are not related to this area at all.
The first step is always the hardest to take. So trying to know about this stuff can be a bit odd. In this section, we will learn about the different features used for vaping, the functionalities of different components, the different sides to each feature for becoming more aware of vaping and how to select the best vaping set for yourself.

1: How Does It Work?

Newbies, always ask the same question: How Does It Work? It is not a difficult question but its answer is a bit complex and contains a value. The answer can be summarized into this: The vaping device’s tank contains the selected liquid and the juice is soaked up by the cotton wicks. Once the device is operated, the coils which are inside the tank/clearomizer are warmed up, as a result, the juice vaporizes the vapor is breathed in. If we take a look at the complex answer to the question, we have to consider different aspects that include: the device, the tank for your device, the kind of coils used and so on. To further go into details of the vaping device we will look into different parts separately.

2: What is an E-Cig Made of?

An e-cigarette is a very simple product that changes to vapor from liquid. There are various kinds of e-cigarettes depending on their functionality. The atomizer has 3 various shapes: clearomizer, glassomizer, and cartomizer. An e-cigarette is produced using a battery (also known as the mod), coils, and tank.

The device gets its supply of power from the battery. It can be fixed into the device or it can also work as a separate part. The device is charged by the battery which contains a mod.

The coils are formed into a spiral, which is wires. The vapor that is breathed in is the result of the coil which warms up the e-liquid.

The tank consists of wicks, coils, and e-juice.

3: What Type of Tank Should I Use?

We can decide for sure which part of vaping is the most essential because different experts think differently. We will begin with the tank because that is the component you will be coming across the most.

There are various kinds of tanks you can select from. They fulfill the same purpose. The tank has the juice you have selected. The juice is kept flowing by cotton or by the wick. The juice is warmed up which as a result vaporizes that you can breathe in.

Users who are not much familiar with vaping think tank with a greater volume is a good option. But that is not the only aspect a user should be keeping in mind. Other things like cost should also be looked into. Queries should be asked frequently for a user who is new to all this if he wants a good device.

Nowadays, the glass sub-ohm vape tank is a famous one among users. It is not costly because it is reliable and changing a plastic tank is not frequent as it seems to deteriorate.

4: When Should I Change the Coil?

Tanks and coils are the essential parts of a vaping device. They need to work together. Same as the tank, there are also different kinds of coils.

The coil needs to be changed after some time because it stops working. There are different methods of doing it. Some people having more knowledge about vaping think that repairable coils should be used and some think that coils should be bought which is easier and can be replaced whenever needed. The different kinds of coils include stainless steel to ceramic.

Replacing coils is needed when vapor and feeling become less and less. This usually is concerned with the atomizer and which kind of it is fixed in the device. The method is to take out the platform used for the atomizer then get rid of the old coil, after that fix a new one in the device.

Until recent years, the coils of the atomizers/clearomizers were situated on the device. Frequent replacements of the coils should be done for efficient and enjoyable vaping.
