Vaping devices, also called e-vaporizers or e-cigarettes, are devices are powered by a rechargeable battery and are used to inhale e-liquids.
They appear in a variety of appearances and can have a resemblance to conventional tobacco cigarettes, pipes, or even items of everyday use USB sticks, or pens. Despite the wide variation in appearances, the internal mechanism of all e-liquid devices is more or less similar.
How do vaping devices function?
Generally, an e-cigarette will consist of four primary components. These are:
- A tank/reservoir/cartridge/pod, which contains the e-liquid (also called e-juice)
- An atomiser (also called ‘heating element’).
- A battery or any other power source.
- Mouthpiece, which allows the person to inhale.
E-Liquids are made from containing water, nicotine, flavourings, and propylene glycol (PG) or vegetable glycerin (VG) base.
Usually, puffing triggers the heating device, which in turn vaporises the e-liquid in the reservoir. The user then inhales this vapour, and this process is referred to as ‘vaping’.
Benefits of vaping:
Safer in Comparison to Smoking: This claim is made by the prestigious Royal College of Physicians. This organisation represents more than 35,000 doctors across the planet. They have asserted that, compared to smoking, vaping is at least 94% safer. This claim has been made based on extensive studies conducted by the college. The Royal College of Physicians concluded vaping is more harmless than smoking because
- vaping involves no ash
- there is no combustion or tar
A person that switches from smoking to vaping can enjoy the health effects of being free of smoke. Health benefits can include improved oral hygiene, circulation, skin health, lung functioning, and an improvement in taste and smell.
No Undesirable Odours: Another advantage of vaping is that it does not contaminate you or your environment with the foul smell of cigarettes. The flavours used in vaping are scented and will have a fragrance of their own. Unlike tobacco, the smoke that vaping produces is odourless and will not linger around in the air or absorb into your clothes. Most people barely notice the smell emitted during vaping. Even if a user vapes a tobacco flavour, the scent will be nothing like the one that emerges from smoking cigarettes.
Helps you Regulate Your Nicotine Consumption: With vaping, you can decide exactly the amount of nicotine you add to your vape (if you use nicotine). Many smokers who switch to vaping start off with high nicotine amounts and gradually move to lower nicotine levels, and might even end up completely removing the nicotine.
Choices in Flavours: Another huge advantage associated with vaping, is that the options in flavours are endless. New e-liquids are continually being produced and introduced to the market. With vaping e-liquids, you do not have to worry about getting bored with the same flavours. Some of the most popular e-liquids are menthol, food, tobacco, beverages, fruits, and desserts.
Immediate Satisfaction: Vaping allows you to satisfy your cravings instantly, which is why it is a popular option for so many people. Even though some advanced, complex vapes might require you to tinker around at the start, many vapes are prefilled and therefore, can be used immediately. Once a vape is ready for use, all you need to do is push a button or begin to draw, to start consuming. Every vape will need e-juice and a charged battery to function, a regular vape charge should last you for an entire day.
Affordable: Vaping products are available in a wide range of prices, which means that you can buy them even when on a shoestring budget. The last few years have seen exponential market growth in e-liquids. The competition is cut-throat, which is always advantageous for consumers as it lowers the prices. There are different prices for the various products ranging from disposable e-cigarettes to e-liquids for every price range. In fact, even with a budget of under ten pounds, you will still be able to find a vape that can be used instantly.
No Experience Required: Even though there are some advanced vapes on the market, most vaping manufacturers will have a vape designed for beginners. Many devices are draw-activated, which means that a user simply needs to puff, and they engage by themselves.
Easy Availability and Access: Compared to when vaping first appeared in the UK in 2013, vaping has become significantly more accessible. Apart from dedicated vape shops, vaping products can easily be found in petrol stations, supermarkets, local convenience stores, and smoke shops. Also, numerous online stores deliver vape and all its accessories, direct to your doorstep. In the UK, almost every shop that sells tobacco products will most likely also sells vaping products.
