Why Is Vaping So Popular?

Vaping has become extremely popular, and more people start vaping every day. Why? There are two major groups of people who start vaping, and both groups do it for different reasons.

1. People who want to quit smoking

Many people believe vaping is a safe way to quit. Others consider it a safer way to get nicotine without the negative consequences of smoking. In recent surveys, more than 70% of smokers said they believed vaping would help them quit. Former smokers are looking for vape devices that give them an experience similar to smoking. They usually prefer tobacco flavors or neutral flavors and a strong throat hit. Most ex-smokers use e-juices that have nicotine.

2. 20 somethings and other young people who never smoked.

Most young people are staunchly against smoking. They vape to enjoy inhaling flavors and creating clouds. Since they never smoked, these young vapers rarely use nicotine. These vapers enjoy experimenting with different juices and usually prefer fruit, candy, and dessert flavors.

Are You a Vape User?

If you already using a vape or something similar, you're already somewhat familiar with the process of vaping. Your transition will be faster. If you are a new vaper, this article will help you completely. You're also about to discover that vaping with a vape device is better and more affordable than using your current traditional cigarettes.

What Do You Need to Start Vaping?

If you're a first-time vaper, you don't want to spend hours setting up a complicated vape device or reading pages of "hints" and instructions. When you want to start vaping, you need to get a vape device. If you use the prefilled vape device, you just need the prefilled vape devices, if you use the refillable vape devices, you need to use a vape device and vape juice.

Type of Vape Device

There are mainly three types of vape devices disposable vape pens, vape pod Kits, and Pod mods, also known as vape mods or pod vapes.

Disposable Vape Pens

Disposable devices are the ultimate in ease and convenience. You don't have to fill anything or charge the device. You open the package, draw on the mouthpiece and start vaping. Disposables are measured in puff numbers. And there are many flavor tastes you can choose from, like fruit flavors, tobacco, and so on. You can choose the flavor you love, and the puff numbers you want.

Disposables are convenient and portable to carry on the go. If you feel trouble filling e-liquid, you can choose it. What's more, a disposable one works best as a backup or a way to try a new flavor.

Vape Pod Kit

A vape pod kit is a small device with a built-in battery and pod cartridge. The pod cartridge is where you fill the juice and it's also the mouthpiece. When you want to vape, you simply put the mouthpiece in your mouth and inhale. Usually, the vape pod kits are equipped with low wattage (10-20W) and large coil resistance.

The devices will be rechargeable. Its body usually has small LED indicator lights that serve many purposes. The light shows the battery capacity and can also blink to tell you the device's problems. In some models, it also has the on/off fire button.

Know: Closed systems and Open systems

Vape pod kit usually has closed and open systems. An open pod system means you can refill the pod with any juice you like. You don't have to use a prefilled pod available in a limited selection of flavors and nicotine strengths. You have total flexibility.

In a closed system, you can only use prefilled pods with certain predetermined flavors and nicotine levels. If your store is out of your favorite refills, you're out of luck. This kind of system also is defined as a disposable vape for some vapers.

Vape Mods Kits

Vape mod kits are similar to the vape pod kit, but they are usually equipped with larger wattage (40W+) and low coil resistance (Lower than 1.0 ohm). What's more, their wattage is adjustable, and the coil is replaceable for vaping experience. The larger the wattages and the lower the coil resistance, the more the vapor vaporizes and give you a better vaping hit!

What Is a Vape Starter Kit?

I believe you may hear a statement about a vape starter kit and are confused about what is it. Actually, the vape starter kit can be defined as simply using a vape pen, vape pod kit, vape pod mod kit, and vape mod kit. It is just another expression. It is suitable and easy to use for new vapers. Because there are many vape devices on the e-cigarette market, and some are difficult to use with the not new-user-friendly design.

For new user-friendly, many e-cigarette manufacturers designed vape starter kits to help new vapers vape, like Suorin. All their products are easy and convenient to use with stylish designs.

Comes the same with everything: device, charger, refillable pod, and instructions. You can start vaping after filling the e-liquid to the refillable pod cartridge and you can regularly buy refillable pods that go with it to save your money. It’s smart to have these on hand.
