Electronic cigarettes are the hottest trend in getting your nicotine fix and all over the world, more and more people are making the switch from traditional tobacco cigarettes to these incredible devices. Wells Fargo estimates total size of the retail market in the US at $2 billion, much higher than previous sales approximations, which have focused only on cig-a-likes. There are well over 2.5 million vaping in the US alone, and that number in increasing daily. Therefore, if you’ve just purchased your first starter kit, here are some tips for vaping beginners that are going to make your switch worth it.
Always carry an extra battery
Always carry an extra battery with you. If your first e-cigarette isn’t an Advanced Personal Vaporizer or a Mechanical vape mod or a device with very powerful batteries, then we recommend you to always carry a second battery with you. Nicotine cravings are very powerful and sometimes the extra power is a very good barrier between you and tobacco smoke.
Clean your batteries
Clean your batteries on a regular basis to increase the lifespan of your e-cigarette. Regular maintenance is recommended if you want the battery to perform top-notch each time you use your device. You just have to remove them from the charger or take the cartomizer off. Then use a cotton swab and rub some alcohol to clean the threading where the battery meets the cartomizer (or tank). Then make sure it completely dries out before reusing.
Have multiple spare battery options
Keep an extra battery at the office and your car and maybe even a pack of cartomizers, because you might rush to work in a hurry and forget your e-cigarette back home. Just remember to keep these things in a safe, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Mix your liquids for great new flavors
Mix your e-liquids together to create brand new signature flavors for you to enjoy. Even though there are so many choices on the market, it’s always an interesting idea to mix two or three that you decide work best. For example, you can mix vanilla and mint or chocolate and mint for some delicious new aromas.
Experiment with different setups, even though you have your own starter kit. You can try a more powerful battery borrowed from a friend, or you can puff on a different type of device. There are hundreds of e-smoking gizmos out there, and only by experimenting you will understand which one works best for you.
When nicotine cravings still exist
If you have constant nicotine cravings, then it’s a good idea to increase your strength. The good news is that almost all cartridges and e-liquids come in many nicotine concentrations, from higher values like 2.8 or 3.6% to 0.6% or 0%. This will help you in the future to gradually lower your dose and get rid of these cravings permanently.
Drink lots of water, because vaping can be dehydrating. It’s always a good idea to have a water bottle with you and when at home or at the office to take constant sips just to help your body function properly.
