What's Really in My Vapour?

“What’s really in e-cig vapour?” is a question that seems to have been rattling around as long as e-cigarettes have been a thing. We know that Public Health England have endorsed vaping as being 95% safer than smoking, thanks to the fact that it doesn’t have the thousands of harmful and carcinogenic nasties. However - the question still remains, what effect does vapour have on your body and how does it break down? You don’t have to look far to see the fear-mongering headlines announcing that vapes produce formaldehyde and carry heavy metals into your lungs. We’re here to explain...

Vaping and Advertising - Health Claims and Ads for E-Cigarettes

There has been a reform on the prohibition of health claims in advertising for e-cigarettes from the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) and the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (BCAP). The advertising regulation bodies consulted with several governing health organisations, the tobacco industry and public health charities before coming to a decision. This change means e-cigarette manufacturers will now be able to advertise their products. The ads themselves will need to revolve around the relative safety of e-cigarettes compared to conventional tobacco cigarettes. The consultation included two main questions. Firstly; whether the organisations agreed with the removal of the current prohibition...

Throat Hit vs Lung Hit – How do you Vape?

Chances are, you started vaping to get as far away from the word “lung” as possible. The hacking cough that’s the biggest warning sign ever to make the switch disappeared once you ditched the ciggies, and for obvious reasons. E-cigarettes are at least 95% safer than smoking, plus they’re officially endorsed by the NHS and Public Health England. “37% of vapers quit smoking within 90 days. The familiar feeling and optional nicotine delivery might play a huge role, but this stuff works precisely because it involves the lungs”. We’re so busy nailing our perfect e-liquid and out-doing our mates with...

Coils: Build Your Own Or Go Pre-Built?

It’s the age-old debate, right? The IKEA self-assemble flat pack arrives and you react in one of two ways. Mother of god, what have you sent me (and how do I turn 40,000 nuts and bolts into a coffee table)? Then again, for every DIY-hater, there’s a lover backing them up. Vaping most definitely didn’t start out with this in mind. Really. Hon Lik invented the e-cigarette in 2003 after watching his own father die from smoke-related cancer. The industry that may be responsible for Big Tobacco having to rename themselves more modestly started out with a simple agenda- take...

An Introduction to Dripping for Beginners

What is dripping? Many vapers are ingenious types who are always looking for ways to improve their vaping experience and one of the methods that has developed in recent years is dripping. This uses specialised equipment with the goal of getting the best flavours possible as well as thick, billowing clouds of vapour. Cloud chasers, who enter competitions to see who can create the most vapour, are aficionados of vaping. People who spend extra money to buy gourmet e-liquids also tend to gravitate towards dripping. If you’ve spent a lot of money on a connoisseur e-juice, you want to get...

What’s the Difference Between an RDA and an RTA?

RBA, RDA, RTA – sometimes it seems like there’s no end to how many attachments and devices that vaping companies can come up with. It’s a language all of its own. If you’re totally new to the whole raft of acronyms in the vaping world, or have stuck firmly to standard mouth to lung or Sub Ohm tanks we can clear a few things up. When you’ve been vaping a while it’s natural to evolve try new things to figure out how you best like to vape. Whether that’s with a focus on flavour or creating beastly clouds, there are...

Is Temp Control Better Than Variable Wattage Mode?

When you first start out vaping, most simple devices have a default wattage output or allow for simple user control. As you move into more advanced pieces of kit, you get more options. Back in the beginning of vaping, variable wattage (VW) was the standard vaping mode. It’s a fairly simple principle. A lower wattage will give a cooler, less dense vapour and higher wattage will give a warmer more voluminous cloud. When you think of VW mode, it's best to imagine a car that can only be moved forward by pressing the pedal all the way to the floor....
