INFORMATIONAL GUIDES
BEGINNER GUIDES
A vape device heats liquid—often called e-juice or vape juice—into vapor, which the user inhales. This liquid typically contains nicotine, flavorings, vegetable glycerin, and propylene glycol. A battery powers a heating element, known as a coil, which vaporizes the liquid when activated.
Selecting your first vape involves deciding between simple, beginner-friendly pod systems or disposable vapes, and more customizable options like vape mods or refillable tanks. Consider ease of use, nicotine strength, battery life, and personal preferences.
E-juice typically consists of nicotine, flavorings, and a base of vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG). VG produces larger vapor clouds, while PG enhances flavor and throat hit. You can choose different nicotine strengths and PG/VG ratios based on your vaping goals and the device you’re using.
PRODUCT COMPARISONS
Pod systems are compact, easy-to-use devices with prefilled or refillable pods, ideal for beginners or those wanting convenience. Mods are larger, customizable devices offering advanced features like adjustable wattage, temperature control, and replaceable batteries.
Coils heat e-liquid to create vapor and are replaceable parts in vaping devices. Pods are containers that hold e-liquid, often used in compact devices. Regularly replacing coils and pods ensures consistent flavor and performance.
Disposable vapes offer convenience, ease of use, and portability, making them great for beginners or on-the-go vaping. However, they’re single-use and less cost-effective over time compared to refillable options.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
Regular cleaning extends your vape device’s lifespan and maintains flavor quality. Disassemble your device, clean tanks or pods with warm water, wipe battery contacts, and thoroughly dry all components before reassembling. Isopropyl alcohol is also a great cleaner to use for a more thorough deep clean, just make sure to rinse with warm water after.
Coils typically last between 1-3 weeks, depending on usage. Signs of a worn coil include burnt taste, reduced vapor production, and leaking. To replace, unscrew or pop out the old coil, put the new one in and fill the tank/pod with juice and wait 10-15 minutes to make sure the coil is properly saturated before use.
Always store batteries in protective cases, avoid overcharging, and replace damaged batteries immediately. Regularly inspect for tears or dents and use recommended chargers to maintain safety and performance.
REGULATIONS & SAFETY
You must be 21 years or older to purchase any vape or tobacco related items and must show a valid picture ID at checkout. You must present a physical ID, a picture of your ID will not suffice.
Always purchase vape products from trusted retailers, avoid modifying your devices improperly, store e-liquids safely away from children and pets, and never use damaged or faulty vaping devices.
To prevent battery-related incidents, use batteries specified for your device (Do not use button top batteries designed for flashlights), avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, never carry loose batteries in pockets, and always monitor your batteries while charging.
