Vape Pens

A vape pen is a device that heats up e-liquid nicotine to turn it into a vapor. This vapor can then be inhaled, providing the user with the sensation of smoking without actually burning any tobacco. Vape pens come in all shapes and sizes, but typically consist of a tank or cartridge filled with nicotine-containing e-liquid, a heating element, and a battery.

Vape pens work by heating up vape juice to a temperature where it becomes a vapor. The process works by the device's battery heating up a coil inside the tank. When the vape juice is heated, it turns into a vapor that you can then inhale. This process is called vaping and it's pretty much how every e-cig or vape device works.

Generally speaking, a good quality vape pen should last you several months to a couple of years, depending on usage. But if you find yourself needing to replace your vape pen more often than that, it might be time to upgrade to a better quality vape pen by spending a little bit extra.

Flavour strength depends on the PG-VG ratio. This is the ratio between Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG). PG is a thin colourless liquid that carries flavour and delivers a stronger throat hit. VG is a more viscous substance that produces a much thicker cloud.

Tip: begin with a 50/50 ratio and tailor your tastes by experimenting with different ratios. Progressing toward a higher VG ratio will typically mean investing in a more advanced vape kit, as entry-level e-cigarettes do not heat up to the temperatures required to produce thick clouds.

Nicotine strength ranges from nicotine free to very high (e.g. 18 mg - 20 mg). If you were or are a light to moderate smoker, you might expect to experience the same nicotine hit from strengths of around 6 mg. However, heavy smokers may prefer a nicotine strength towards the higher end of the scale - ultimately, your preferred strength comes down to trial and preference.
