So you’ve decided now is the time to pick up a vape. You may have just quit smoking, or even cut down on the amount of cigarettes you use a day. Good choice!
We know that the world of vaping can be a bit daunting and that there is so much for you to think about when you first start vaping. There are different flavours, strengths, coils and techniques for you to find out about.
Well, hopefully that’s something that we can help with.
What is vaping?
First off, let’s crack down on what is vaping before we get onto how to vape. Vaping is the act of inhaling a smoke-like vapour, which is usually flavoured, from a vape device or e-cigarette. Vaping emulates smoking, however, has been found to be 95% less harmful way to get your nicotine needs. It should be noted that there are zero-nicotine vapes available as well if you are looking to remove nicotine from your life for good.
The nicotine and flavourng is found within the vape juice , which is then heated with a coil or heating device within the vape to produce the vapour which is then inhaled. Giving you your nicotine hit with a smooth delicious flavour.
However, it is important to note that vaping should only be used as a method to quit smoking and we do not recommened starting vaping if you are not already a smoker. There are various laws around the world, and it is also important to ask quesitons like " How old do you need to be to vape " in case you are under the legal limit, as well as is vaping right for me?
What is a vape?
Vapes are handheld devices, that when inhaled, produce vapour and deliver nicotine to the user much like a normal cigarette would. There are many different types of vapes which vary in size, power and battery life. A vape can be customised to any flavour and strength using a variety of different vape juice . Some devices also allow you to adjust airflow and power, while the use of different coils ohms changes how much flavour and vapour they produce.
There are many different types of vape pens available, the most common are:
Disposable Vapes: a quick and easy way to vape. Simply open them up and start vaping.
Rechargeable Disposable Vapes (Pod Vapes): Known as rechargeable disposable vape s, they are a two-piece device made up of a rechargeable battery and a replaceable flavour pod.
Vape Pens:
The classic vape pen design with a refillable tank and changeable coil, placed on top of a rechargable battery.
Box Mods:
Then you have Box Mods , usually the largest and most powerful vapes. A Box Mod usually has features that allow you to customise wattage & temperature and are usually for experienced vapers.
How does a vape work?
A vape has many parts that all come together to form a vape. Neither of these single parts is a vape, they all have to work together to provide that vaping experience.
A vape device is usually comprised of a battery, a heating element (coil), an atomiser, a tank and a mouth tip. The journey starts at the battery, which powers the coil within the atomiser, which heats up the e-liquid stored in the tank producing vapour to the mouth tip.

Step By Step Guide How to Start Vaping
When you start to vape for the first time, you may want to know how to vape properly. If you’re new to vaping, it’s probably best to keep it simple when it comes to choosing your vape kit. While there is nothing wrong with going straight to an advanced or expert device, it’s worth getting to know your vaping preferences first and ensuring you know how to vape.
How to vape - Step 1 - Which vape device?
The first Step is to get your hands on a vape starter kit . Try to stick to no more than £30 for your first vape starter kit. There are lots of different styles and variations of starter kits, however we recommend sticking to the simpler versions including:
Pod Vapes – Prefilled / Refillable Disposable Cartridges such as the Puff Box.
AIO Vape – All In One Vape, Replaceable Coils and Refillable, such as the SERIES-S17 AIO.
Disposable Vapes – Prefilled, disposable device.
Our Starting Recommendation - The Puff Box
We recommend starting off with the Puff Box, the rechargeable disposable vape for a few reasons, the main reasons being:
• Incredibly user friendly for new vapers, simply twist-in a refill and go
• Delivers a smooth, delicious vapour
• Affordable, at around 50% cheaper than other disposable vapes
• Rechargeable and reusable, with 650 mAh battery
• Compact, pocket sized design
Purchasing a Puff Box, or a rechargeale disposable vape, removes a lot of the bug bears of starting vaping, like learning how to prime and change a coil, choosing the right vape juice etc etc. This means you are much more likely to stick to your quit smoking journey. If or when you're ready to move onto something more customisable, then we're here to help with that too with our other vape pens .
The Puff Box uses twist-in refills, which contain the vape juice and coil, so all you need to do is simply twist them into the device and you are ready to go. They are also fitted with Automatic Activation technology, so you don't even need to press a button.
