How to vape for beginners

What is the best vape for beginners?
For beginners, disposable vapes are an ideal option as they require no set-up and are ready to vape as soon as you open them. Disposable vapes and vape pens are great on the go, for nights out, and when travelling- they really are the ultimate convenience.

However, if you vape often or are switching to vaping from a heavy smoking habit, you may find yourself reaching for your vape more often. In this case, refillable vape bar kits can be the best vape for beginners who are used to having regular hits of nicotine as, in the long term, these are a more cost-effective option for heavy vapers.

Sub-ohm vapes are not usually the best vape for beginners, as this uses a more advanced method of inhalation (direct-to-lung) and creates larger vapour clouds, resulting in a more intense hit of nicotine.

How to vape for beginners

Now you have the perfect vape to get started with, the next step is to get vaping!

The reality is everyone vapes a little bit differently. Your technique and style will be something you develop over time, but the foundations of how to vape remain the same:

Step 1- Inhale (either from your mouth to your lung or straight into your lungs)

Step 2- Hold the vapour in your lungs

Step 3- Exhale the vapour and enjoy your vape hit

The rest is entirely up to you- your device, what flavour e-liquids or vape juice you prefer, and the nicotine strength you require. All of this is based on personal taste and needs. With your nicotine strength, it depends on what your nicotine intake was when you were smoking. If you

were a heavy smoker, you’ll need a stronger nicotine content. Don’t worry about reducing your nicotine content too early, as nicotine is not a known carcinogen in cigarettes- let alone vapes! Whatever nicotine strength you feel you need to cut out the cigarettes- even if it’s the strongest- is the best option for you.

How to inhale a vape (beginners)?

There are two types of inhales- mouth to lung and direct to lung.

For mouth to lung inhales, the vapour is drawn into the mouth first, then drawn into the lungs, held, and exhaled. This is the best method for beginners as this inhalation method more closely mimics the feeling of smoking, as it provides a stronger throat hit in a similar way that cigarettes do.

With direct to lung inhales, the vapour is inhaled directly into the lungs, held, and exhaled- like taking a deep breath. This is a more intense hit of nicotine, so it is not always comfortable for beginners and can lead to coughing. This is the more advanced inhalation technique associated with sub-ohm vaping. If you’re just starting out vaping and you’re looking for how to vape direct to lung, it is best to start off with mouth to lung vaping and work up to direct to lung.
