Frequently Asked Questions

What is vaping?

“Vaping” is the act of inhaling and exhaling the aerosol, often referred to as vapor, that is produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device. Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, are a type of electronic nicotine delivery system that mimics the act of smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes but gets rid of many of the harmful byproducts from burning tobacco.

These vape devices are usually battery-operated and use a heating element to heat the “e-liquid”, or “vape juice” that then releases the vapor. E-liquid is made from a combination of nicotine, propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), and flavorings.

Is vaping legal?

Vaping is legal in the UK, though e-cigarettes and e-liquids are illegal for those under 18 to use or purchase. Current law does not restrict vaping in public areas for example, but many public places, public transport, pubs, bars, and other private businesses have made their own rules, often phobiting vaping on their premises.

There are also restrictions on the sale and marketing of vaping. There are limits on the size of e-liquid containers and the strength of nicotine. It’s also illegal to advertise e-cigarettes and other vaping products using models who may look under the age of 25. This was put in place to protect and discourage children from taking up vaping or smoking.

Is vaping safer than smoking?

Official reports from the NHS state that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking cigarettes, and the damage caused by e-cigarettes is negligible compared to the sort of hazardous tar that is inhaled through conventional tobacco. Vaping has proven to be overwhelmingly effective in helping people quit smoking!

Does vaping save me money?

Yes, vaping is much more affordable than smoking! This is one of the many benefits of making the switch. For example, some vape devices use refillable tanks which are cheaper in the long-term as you just need to purchase e-liquid for refills.

Can vaping help me quit smoking?

As e-cigarettes are a relatively new product, this topic is of ongoing research and debate. Though many notable studies have found that e-cigarettes are more effective than nicotine replacement therapies (like patches or gum) in helping to quit smoking.

Does vaping feel the same as smoking a cigarette?

Vaping can replicate some aspects of the smoking experience, from the inhalation and nicotine delivery to the hand-to-mouth action but there are key differences. E-cigarettes don't produce the taste of burning tobacco, which is a fundamental part of the smoking experience for many people. Instead, e-cigarettes often have flavors added. The sensation of inhaling vapor can also be different as some users report that it feels smoother than cigarette smoke.

What is e-liquid? What is in e-liquid or vape juice?

E-liquid, also known as vape juice or vape liquid, is the liquid that's heated in an electronic cigarette or vape device to create the aerosol or "vapor" that is inhaled. E-liquid typically includes four types of substances: nicotine, propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), and flavorings.

Nicotine is the same chemical found in traditional tobacco cigarettes. E-liquids can come in a variety of nicotine strengths, including nicotine-free options. colorless, nearly odorless liquid. It is used to carry the flavors in the e-liquid and to produce a “throat hit” similar to what smokers get from a cigarette. Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is a thicker, sweet-tasting liquid used to create the “vapor” that simulates smoke and carries the flavor. Flavorings can be natural or artificial, ranging from tobacco and menthol to a wide array of fruit, dessert, and beverage flavors.

What is the PG/VG ratio? What is HPG? What is HVG?

E-liquids with a higher PG to VG ratio tend to provide a stronger "throat hit" when you inhale the vapor or smoke. PG is also a good carrier for flavorings, so high-PG e-liquids might taste more flavorful or intense. E-liquids with a higher VG to PG ratio are often smoother to inhale and produce less of a throat hit, which some vapers find more pleasant. The sweetness of the VG can also slightly alter the overall flavor of the e-liquid. Typically referred to as "High PG" and "High VG", these terms describe e-liquids that contain a higher proportion of either PG or VG. An HPG e-liquid might contain 70% PG and 30% VG, while an HVG e-liquid might contain 70% VG and 30% PG.

What nicotine strength do I need?

There are four areas to consider when deciding on which nicotine strength is right for you including your smoking habits, device, personal goals, and your reaction to nicotine. If you're a heavy smoker (more than a pack a day), you might need a higher nicotine strength, such as 18mg or even 24mg, to start with. A lighter smoker may need a lower strength, like 6mg or 12mg.

The device you choose is an important element as some devices deliver more nicotine than others. For example, a “sub-ohm” device (which operates at a resistance of less than one ohm) produces more vapor and consequently delivers more nicotine. If you're using a device like this, you may need a lower nicotine strength.

If you‘re trying to quit nicotine altogether, you might start with a higher strength and gradually reduce the nicotine level over time as some people find high levels of nicotine to be too harsh or uncomfortable, while others might find lower levels unsatisfying.

Is it possible to vape only flavors without intaking nicotine?

Yes, it’s possible to vape e-liquids that contain flavors but do not contain nicotine. Many manufacturers (including us) offer a range of e-liquids with varying levels of nicotine, including zero-nicotine options.

Where does the flavor come from? Is it safe?

The flavor in e-liquids comes from food-grade flavorings. These are similar to the flavorings used in foods and drinks. There are thousands of different flavors available, ranging from tobacco and menthol to fruit, candy, dessert, and beverage flavors.
