Thinking about giving vaping a go? Whether you’re looking for an alternative to smoking or just curious about the flavours and devices available, it can all feel a little overwhelming at first. Don’t worry — we’ve pulled together a simple guide to get you started.

What is Vaping?

At its core, vaping is inhaling vapour produced by an electronic device that heats up an e-liquid. Unlike smoking, there’s no burning involved — which means no ash, no lingering smoke smell, and no tar.

The Different Types of Devices

• Pod Systems: Compact, simple, and ideal for beginners.

• Vape Pens: Slightly larger, with more battery life and flexibility.

• Mods & Tanks: For experienced vapers who want bigger clouds and more customisation.

• Disposables: Ready to go straight out of the box, with no charging or filling required.

Understanding E-Liquids

E-liquids are made from a mix of PG (propylene glycol) and VG (vegetable glycerin), plus flavourings and nicotine (optional).

• Higher PG = stronger throat hit, better for beginners.

• Higher VG = smoother inhale, bigger clouds.
  Nicotine levels vary from 0mg (nicotine-free) up to 20mg (the UK legal maximum).

Safety & Regulations

In the UK, vaping products are tightly regulated. You must be 18+ to buy them, and all products must comply with TPD (Tobacco Products Directive) standards. Stick to trusted retailers (like us) to make sure you’re buying safe, compliant products.

Choosing Your First Kit
