10 Things You Need To Know About Vaping

Once you hit college you will adopt a new culture. It’s a way bigger world than high school. College parties are different and we’re supposedly adults. Now, we have a whole new millennial culture to adapt to. Some people choose to drink and smoke. We’ve been repeatedly told that drinking and smoking are bad since we were young. So I’m going to skip the health warning. It’s a personal choice and we’re at the age where we can make our own life choices. We have good old fashion cigars and cigarettes, but some prefer new trends. We now have vapes known as e-cigarettes. If you don’t know much about vaping, but would like to learn more about it, this is a must read.

1. There are different types of vapes

There are two popular types of vapes. There’s a pencil type. Females and beginners prefer this kind. It’s small and looks quite feminine. A lot of people start with this style.

There’s a box type which is more bulky and guys prefer this style. Many people move on to this type of vape after vaping for awhile.

2.  Vapes supposedly exist to help you stop smoking

Vapes are much less harmful than regular cigarettes. People supposedly smoke vapes to help them quit smoking, but that’s not the case for everyone. Vaping is a big part of millennial culture. Many college kids vape even though they don’t smoke cigarettes.

3. It can be costly

It depends on what kind you get. Pencil type is cheaper than the box type. Regular cigarettes don’t require other equipment, you just buy a pack. Vapes need other equipment such as juice and coils. If you’re thinking long term, vaping might be cheaper. You just have to get juice and change the coil once in awhile.

4. You have to take care of it

Just like any other technology, you have to make sure you take good care of it. You can’t drop it all the time and expect it to not break. You need to change your coil once a month. And you have to treat and think of it as your lap top or phone. You also need to make sure you charge it.

5. You don’t have to use nicotine

If you don’t want nicotine in your system or you’re using it to quit smoking, you can absolutely buy non nicotine juice. If you want to switch back to nicotine then you can buy nicotine juice. You can also choose how much nicotine you want in a bottle of juice.

6. It’s not just a college kid thing

Older generations other than millennials use e-cigarettes. It’s trendy. Although, they use it to quit smoking cigarettes rather than doing tricks on vapes.

7. This is fairly new

Scientists are still trying to discover long term effects of vapes. From what we know, it’s much less harmful than regular cigarettes. We better keep ourselves updated though since e-cigarettes becoming more popular and advanced.

8. It smells very good

Unlike cigarettes, vapes smell really really good! You can choose any flavor you want for the juice. If you want something refreshing you can buy fruity juice. If you are a caffeine addict, coffee flavor will be your go to!

9. It’s indoor friendly

You can smoke it in your room without triggering the fire alarm or your roommate. You no longer have to go outside to smoke.

10. It’s easy to hide

If you live with your parents or your roommate hates smokers, vapes won’t be a problem. Since it doesn’t smell, they won’t know. Just wait until the clouds are gone, you’re good to open the door when they knock.

You may not have learned everything about e-cigarettes from this article, but I hope you got the taste of what it’s like. It’s a growing industry with a lot of potential. Would you like to try?
