What are Vape Pens?
A vape pen, also known as an e-cigarette, uses a battery and coils to heat up e-juice into a vapor that can be inhaled. Many people confuse vapor with smoke; it is not smoke. A vape pen works by burning oil, an e-juice, into a vapor that can be inhaled. The typical, cheap, vape pen consists of a clearomizer and a battery. A clearomizer consists of wicks and a coil. When putting an e-juice into a clearomizer, it is absorbed by the wicks which are connected with the coils. Pushing the trigger button causes the battery to fire, heat up the coils, which causes the e-juice on the wicks to turn into the vapor that can be inhaled.
What is the Vapelife?
People vape because they are trying to quit smoking cigarettes, like the flavor of the vapor, or, like me, find it an interesting topic. For the most part, people who join the vapelife are embarking on their journey to quit smoking. The vapelife makes quitting smoking so much easier because vaping is so much more controlled compared to cigarettes. It is more controlled because you can take just enough puffs to satisfy you and then put it away as opposed to feeling compelled to smoke an entire cigarette. In addition to controlling the number of puffs you take, you can control the amount of nicotine you consume in your e-juices. Joining the vapelife is perfect for those looking to kick the horrible habit of smoking cigarettes.
The Complexity of the Vapelife
Early models of vape pens looked like cigarettes, but now they come in all different shapes, sizes, and produce different amounts of vapor. Any experienced vaper knows all of this. Vape mods come in two main forms: mechanical mods and box mods. Mechanical mods are definitely for those who are more advanced, but they are easy to learn how to use. Box mods are much more simplistic. Box mods are typically the next step for beginners after using vape pens. For a beginner, it may also be difficult to pick out a vape mod that best suits their vaping needs. All vape mods are different and have a very limited number of similarities.
There are a lot of e-juices out there. At first, it can be difficult to find an e-juice that suits you best. The main ingredients of e-juices are usually a mix of propylene glycol (PG), glycerin (G), and/or polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG400), sometimes with differing levels of alcohol mixed with concentrated or extracted flavorings. That is only a concern when you need a specific e-juice thickness, which won’t matter with your average vape pen. What concerns the main majority of vapers, is the nicotine concentration. The nicotine concentration in e-juices range from 0 to about 50mg. People who are vaping to quit smoking seem to struggle picking the right nicotine strength. I’ll give you a basic idea on how to figure it out on your own:

I’ll give you a basic idea on how to figure it out on your own:
- Let’s say an e-juice has 12mg of nicotine in it. That means that you are consuming 12mg of nicotine for every ml of e-juice you vape. How does that help you pick out the right strength of nicotine if you are trying to quit smoking? Well one cigarette contains approximately 9mg of nicotine. Depending on how many cigarettes you smoke, and how often, you may want a lower strength or a higher strength. With this basic knowledge, picking out an e-juice should be a lot easier.
