How To Vape Properly

Vapes, as a new favorite among smokers, are not like traditional cigarettes, which require fire as a medium to ignite them for smoking. Instead, electronic cigarettes only need to turn on the electronic switch or direct mouth sucking to open, after the opening of the smoke will be produced there are different flavors to choose from. Vapes are more like an upgrade of traditional cigarettes, with a unique design, ergonomic grip design, electronic screen display, more youthful and trendy, and more and more people are joining them. So, how to vape properly? Here we come together to understand how to be more cool and master the use of electronic cigarettes.

Steps to smoke a vape 

How to turn on a vape 

There are two main ways to start a vape: push-button start and mouth-suction induction start.

Push button activation: Most devices are equipped with a round button on the top or side of the device, press the button 3 times in a row (some brands need to be 5 times) to unlock the power supply, at this time, the button indicator light blinking means that the power is on successfully. Press and hold the button while holding the mouthpiece with your lips and inhale slowly to trigger the atomization.

Mouthpiece activation: No need to operate manually, directly hold the mouthpiece and inhale hard, the built-in airflow sensor will automatically activate the device. This method is closer to the traditional smoking habits and is suitable for novices to get started quickly. 

It is important to note that you need to make sure that the cartridge and the battery lever are fully tightened before using the device for the first time to avoid leakage or poor contact.

Vaping Techniques and Smoke Control 

The core of smoking a vape is to master the rhythm of “slow inhalation and long exhalation”.

Oral inhalation method (suitable for small devices): the smoke will be contained in the mouth to stay for 23 seconds and then slowly spit out. This way, the amount of smoke is moderate, and you can clearly feel the fruit, mint, and other flavors in a layered sense. 

Lung direct inhalation (suitable for high-power hosts): Deep inhalation allows the smoke to reach the lungs directly, which can produce thick smoke and is suitable for performing techniques such as spitting smoke rings. However, care should be taken to avoid continuous hard inhalation, or it may trigger the overheating protection of the device.

Advanced players can control the smoke temperature by adjusting the power (e.g., 0.61.2Ω resistor adapted to 1525W), low power to retain the original flavor, high power to enhance the sense of throat hit.

Daily Care and Maintenance

The lifespan and experience of electronic cigarettes are highly dependent on daily care:

Atomizer Cleaning: Wipe the interface between the mouthpiece and the atomizer compartment with a cotton swab every week; residual condensate will lead to stringing of flavors or leakage of oil. 

Cartridge Replacement: Replace the cartridges immediately when the oil falls below the minimum scale or when it has a burnt flavor; an empty cartridge will damage the heating wire.

Battery Maintenance: Avoid charging when the battery is fully depleted. It is recommended to connect the Type-C port to slow charging when there is 20% remaining, as over-discharging will shorten the life of the lithium battery. 

When storing the battery, it should be placed in an upright position to prevent the oil from flowing backward and blocking the airway.

Cool Play and Safety Tips

When pursuing the trend, you need to keep in mind the safety guidelines:

Smoke Stunts: Try “Dragon's Whisker Breath” (slowly exhale two wisps of smoke from the nostrils) or “Jellyfish Smoke Circle” (exhale a large circle of smoke and then push the edges with the palm of your hand). It is recommended that you practice it in a ventilated environment. Practice in a ventilated environment. 

Warning on device modification: Do not remove the battery or replace non-original parts by yourself, as poor-quality atomizer cartridges may release formaldehyde and other harmful substances.

Nicotine intake control: Even if you choose 3% low-concentration oil, you should control the amount of smoking in a single day to less than 200 puffs, as an excessive amount will cause dizziness, palpitations, and other uncomfortable reactions.

Conclusion

Although vapes have lowered the threshold of use in a fashionable form, it is important to recognize that they still contain nicotine, a highly addictive substance that can raise blood pressure, impair respiratory cilia function, and may lead to cardiovascular disease with long-term use. Teenagers, pregnant women, and non-smokers should stay away from vaping. If used as a transitional tool for smoking cessation, it is recommended to gradually reduce the concentration of nicotine under the guidance of a doctor, and ultimately achieve complete cessation. A healthy lifestyle is the real trend choice.
