Are you thinking of making the transition from cigarettes to vaping then we recommend having a browse through our starter kits. These kits are designed to help smokers with the transition of smoking to vaping.  

Before you purchase a kit you may want to know what exactly is vape?  And how does it actually differ from the smoke from cigerettes?

Smoke from a cigarette

Smoke is essentially a collection of tiny airborne particles and gases that are produced when something is burnt. When you burn something at high temperatures, its chemical composition is altered and as a result a vast number of combustion bi-products are produced, which in turn are harmful to inhale.

 

E-liquid Vapour

Vapour by contrast hasn’t undergone a chemical change like smoke. It could even be condensed back into a liquid by adding pressure. When vapour does not carry the same harmful bi-products that smoke carries.

Visual differences

Although they share some visual similarities, smoke and vapour behave very differently when exhaled into the air. Vapour is very quick to disperse, whilst smoke clouds can linger for quite some time in the air due to having a denser composition.  There is also no visual residue produced from vaping, unlike cigarette smoking, which can cause the yellowing of clothes, body parts, walls and furniture due to the tar content.

Fragrance

The smell of cigarette smoke can linger in a room for a very long time – days, weeks, or even months. Vapour clouds on the other hand have a smell that dissipates much quicker.  It is often said that vapour is much nicer smelling than cigarette smoke due to the many different flavours and varieties on offer.

Chemicals

It is well known that cigarette smoke contains thousands of unhealthy chemicals, dozens of which are known to cause cancer. Vapour on the other hand contains a handful of ingredients including nicotine, vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, and food-grade flavours. It is still unknown whether there are any long term negative effects of vaping, and research continues, however it is widely reported that vaping is much less harmful than smoking cigarettes.
