Vaping: A Beginner’s Guide

Vaping: A Beginner’s Guide

Are you thinking about taking up vaping? Maybe you're a smoker looking for a less harmful alternative to get your nicotine hit. Maybe you’re just someone that’s curious about the vaping process. Whatever the reason, if you want to learn more about vaping and e-cigarettes, you will find this guide helpful.

What is an e-cigarette or/and vaporiser?

There are two different ways to vape, so let’s look at each in turn:

1. E-cigarettes: these look very much like a normal cigarette, but they are heavier and made of metal. Furthermore, you don’t just use them once. They are multi use and can last years. E-cigarettes use a cartridge system.

In an e-cigarette, the part of the cigarette that would normally be a filter is actually a cartridges that screws on and off to the rest of the device.

Inside the cartridge is a liquid. In the UK, that liquid usually consists of nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, water, and sometimes flavouring.

A mechanism inside the e-cigarette heats up the liquid, which creates vapour, which you then inhale. Once the cartridge is empty, you usually replace it with another cartridge, although you can now buy refillable cartridges.

2. Vaporisers: these come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but most look similar to a permanent marker (sometimes a Sharpie looking thing, other times a Stabilo Boss looking thing, and still other times, entirely different! Sorry, we’re not much help here, because they are difficult to describe).

Instead of a screw in cartridge that needs replacing once empty, the vaporisers have a tank. The tank contains the vape liquid. E juice UK typically contains the same as the liquid in the e-cigarettes, so nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, water, and flavouring.

Again, a heating mechanism warms the liquid to create vapour, which you then inhale.

In short, the actual process might differ between the two types mentioned above, and they may look different, but they are basically the same thing.

There are reasons why some people prefer one to the other. For instance, some people prefer e-cigarettes because it reminds them more of smoking. Other people prefer vaping because there are more flavours available.

There have been several studies done into the effects of vaping, and most have returned extremely positive results when compared to smoking. Public Health England (PHE) have undertaken an independent review into the effects of vaping and found that it is 95% safer than smoking. Therefore, if you smoke, it is definitely worth swapping to vape.

Cigarette smoke contains many dangerous chemicals that are NOT present in vape. This includes tar, carbon monoxide, and toxicants.

If you're thinking of quitting smoking, then vaping is definitely worth a try. Particularly if you want to mimic the experience of smoking.

What are the safety concerns with vaping?

Other types of nicotine replacement therapy do not provide that ‘smoking’ feel in quite the same way as vaping.

As well as being safer for smokers, there is also no evidence that vaping is problematic for those exposed to the vape. Nonetheless, it is probably advisable to avoid vaping around children.
