So, let’s say you’re new to vaping and you are unsure what will happen when you start. It’s a position every newbie has found themselves in and as the industry grows, we know they’ll be plenty more. That’s why we’re here to break down exactly what to expect when you make the transition.
Mobility In Social Situations
The first thing everyone notices right away is the social mobility that’s granted to vapers. You may have been a smoker, or have enjoyed using other nicotine replacement therapy methods like patches, gum etc. – but vaping is different in that it will deliver a quality hit of nicotine on the go. Vaping is widely accepted in many social situations and does not create anywhere nearly as much social disharmony as smoking tobacco.
The lack of tobacco smell on the body, hair and clothes is another widely cited advantage. It's also commonly reported that people who start vaping immediately appreciate how much of a difference it makes to their lives because they find they are more approachable to those around them.
Freedom of Flavour
So, let’s say you’ve been smoking for some time, or you’ve just been looking for something sweet throughout the day. Smoking dulls your tastebuds and makes food taste less rich. Vaping can act as a conduit for some of your favourite flavours all while helping resolve any nicotine cravings you have in the process.
Vape liquid – whether we’re talking about shortfills, 10ml e-liquid or nic salts – all can deliver a top-quality flavour that’s sure to appeal to everyone. There’s no shortage of freedom.
Control Your Inhale
Unlike traditional tobacco, vaping affords you the ability to switch up your inhale. This can be beneficial if you’ve been having respiratory issues with a specific kind of inhale - for example, if your feel like breathing less vapour directly into your lungs (in a DTL, or direct-to-lung inhale), you can change things up and enjoy a restricted direct to lung or even mouth-to-lung inhale. It’s a small change, but it can make all the difference when your feel like taking things easier.
More Money in Your Pocket
Another benefit of vaping is saving money. Smoking tobacco will typically cost upwards of £5,000 a year – upwards of £5,500 if you’re a 20 fags a day smoker that costs on average £15 a day. By using disposable vape devices you’ll be able to shave more than £4,000 a year off this number. Disposables can be great for those who tend not to vape so much, but if you’re more a more avid nicotine user, you’re still able to save some money. A yearly (daily) disposable habit will cost on average around £1,500 a year which is still a large amount of money.
Traditional e-liquid, shortfills and nic salts will not only give you more variety and a more consistent vape with less hassle, but they’ll also allow you to consume all your favourite flavours at a substantially less cost. A typical pod kit will cost around £10 a week to upkeep, so will only cost about £520 a year. That’s a whopping saving of more than £800.
Vaping is a great way to consume more for less, which is especially important given the current political climate of the modern world.
