Things You Need to Know Before Vaping

If you are new to vaping, things can be quite overwhelming and confusing. Even the terminology used can seem foreign. You may be asking what are tanks, coils, ohm, mods and atomizers. You might have a different understanding of these words. The Vape Escape believes that everybody should feel comfortable when they are trying to learn about the process. We have written this article to inform you before you start buying your own vape equipment.

1. How Does It Work?

Most people who are vaping for the first time have this simple question: how does a vape work? The simple answer is that the tank of the vaping device holds the liquid of your choice and the wick inside absorbs the liquid. Once activated the coils are heated up making the liquid evaporate, this evaporated juice is in the form of vapour which you inhale.

2. What Is an E-Cig Made Of?

For those who are not familiar with e-cigarette, the system may appear complicated. However, an e-cigarette is in simple terms a device that converts the liquid into vapour. E-cigarettes are basically the same in function but differ in their features. These features are tailored to the user's needs and requirements. The entire device also known as the atomizer comes in different forms namely: Clearomizer, Glassomizer, and Cartomizer. Here are the three basic parts of an e-cigarette: • Battery: This is where the device gets its power from, it can be integrated into the unit or be replaced. • Coils: These are wires that are shaped into coils. This part is responsible for the heating of the wicks to create the vapour. • Tanks: It holds everything in together and It acts as a house for the coils, wicks and e-juice.

3. What Type of Tank Should I Use?

Among professionals, there is no single most important component as everyone has different opinions depending on what their preference is. As for the tanks, they function the same way, which is to hold the juice that you have chosen. For beginners, it is about the volume, but you can always tailor your choice depending on your budget. The most popular tanks are the glass sub-ohm vape tanks that are more durable than the plastic type. Do not be afraid to ask questions if there are things that you are unsure of.

4. When Should I Change The Coil?

Your tank and coil go hand in hand to give you the best experience in vaping. Arguably these two are the most important parts of your e-cigarette. Just like tanks, coils also have different variations depending on your preference. Coils wear over time and need replacing, while some of the experienced vapers use re-buildable coils many still choose to buy new coils and replace them when necessary. You will know when it’s time to change the coil as the amount of vapour produced is dramatically reduced. The taste of the juice will differ if the coil is replaced.
