We are fortunate enough to live in a time where there are a number of easily accessible alternatives to smoking, that help you make the switch from combustible cigarettes to a less harmful option. We’re going to be taking a look at the different alternatives to smoking available at Evapo, to help you find the solution that will best suit you!
E-cigarettes
One of the most popular alternatives to smoking currently available is e-cigarettes. These devices heat an e-liquid, which can be purchased both with or without nicotine, to create a vapour which is then inhaled.
E-cigarettes do not produce tar or carbon monoxide, which are two of the most harmful substances found in tobacco smoke, and have been found by Office for Health Improvement & Disparities to be 95% less harmful than smoking.
They come in all different shapes and sizes, and offer a solution that feels very similar to smoking, effectively replacing both the feel of smoking and the physical habit.
There are many different starter kit options, designed with new vapers in mind, with a simple and user-friendly design that helps make the transition from smoking to vaping as easy as possible.
Vuse Pro
Pre-filled pod systems are one of the most user-friendly e-cigarette designs, as they do not need to be refilled with e-liquid or have the coil changed. The pods are purchased pre-filled with e-liquid, and you simply need to click a new one in place when the old one is empty.
The Vuse Pro is a great example of a pre-filled pod system, with 10 different ePod pod flavours available in a number of different nicotine strengths, and a battery that fast charges to 80% in just 35 minutes, perfect for those who are always on-the-go!
SMOK Nord 2
One of our most popular starter kit options is the SMOK Nord 2 device, which features a powerful built-in battery designed to last for a full day of average vaping.
The Nord 2 is available in a range of different colour options, and is a convenient size for storing in your pocket or bag when not in use. This device has changeable coils, which will need to be replaced when burnt out, and has a variety of different coil options so you can find the perfect one to suit you!
All of these starter kits are best used with a 50/50 e-liquid, like the Ohm Brew 50/50 range, which is available in 39 different flavours and a variety of nicotine strengths.
Nicotine pouches
Nicotine pouches are an incredibly discreet and convenient alternative nicotine options, which can be used alone or alongside another nicotine alternative like an e-cigarette or heated tobacco device.
All you need to do is pop one of the pouches under your upper lip, and it will start to deliver a consistent release of flavour and nicotine. They can be held under the lip for between 5 minutes and one hour for the best results, and are a excellent option for when you need to tackle a nicotine craving but maybe can’t use your e-cigarette or other nicotine alternative.
Nicotine pouches do not contain any tobacco, and are made using food grade ingredients which do not stain your teeth, and are available in a variety of different flavours and nicotine strengths.
Zyn
Zyn nicotine pouches are a discreet and handy option for quickly quashing any nicotine cravings. You can pick them up in a choice of 5 different flavours, with a choice of different nicotine strengths, letting you find the perfect pouch to suit your preferences.
They come in a handy can which keeps them fresh and also features a discreet compartment where you can store used pouches until you can through them away.
Heated tobacco
If you’re not quite ready to give up tobacco, but want an option that lets you cut out some of the harmful substances released upon combustion, then a heated tobacco device is a fantastic option to consider.
The devices have specially designed tobacco sticks, and use heat-not-burn tobacco technology to gentle heat the tobacco and produce a vapour rather than smoke. This lets you enjoy the flavour and sensation you are familiar with, while also reducing the damaging effects of smoking.
IQOS & TEREA
The IQOS ILUMA features state-of-the-art bladeless SMARTCORE INDUCTION SYSTEM™ technology with a robust design that fits perfectly in your hand. The pocket charger keeps your device charged while you’re out and about, so you can enjoy multiple uses throughout the day.
The IQOS ILUMA range is designed to be used with the TEREA tobacco sticks, which offer around 14 puffs per stick. The TEREA sticks are available in 7 different flavour options, with different blends of tobacco as well as menthol options, that let you find the best blend to suit your preferences.
Ploom & EVO
The Ploom X heated tobacco device features their HeatFlow™ technology with a ribbed heating chamber that evenly heats the tobacco sticks for a smooth and comfortable vapour and minimal cleaning. It comes with a powerful 2000 mAh built-in battery that offers up to 22 vaping sessions on a single charge, making it perfect for on-the-go use.
The EVO tobacco sticks are designed for use with the Ploom device, available in a variety of different blends including a cool berry menthol option.
Dry herb vaporizers
If you are looking for a less harmful alternative to smoking for use with loose leaf, a dry herb vaporizer offers a convenient and discreet option that heats the materials in a specially designed oven, producing a smooth vapour.
These portable devices have built-in batteries, so you can use them at home or out and about, and simply charge when needed. They will often include multiple pre-set heating options, to help you choose the best setting to suit both your preferences and your chosen materials.
PAX Mini
The PAX Mini is an ideal device for those who are new to using a dry herb vaporizer, and want something simple, approachable, and user-friendly. Unlike more advanced options which may be a bit daunting to a new user, the PAX Mini doesn't have lots of different modes or features, just one setting which is designed to offer optimal flavour help you make the most of your dry herb!
The one button operation makes it easy to use, and the 0.25g oven is the perfect size for solo sessions.
Once you are done using the device, it is easy to clean and maintain with the handy cleaning brush, so you can have the best vaping experience every single time.
PAX Plus
The PAX Plus is the latest addition to the PAX range, and offers some exciting new features to really elevate your vaping experience.
The PAX Plus offers not only dry herb vaporizing capabilities, but also comes with a concentrate insert so you can use it with both loose leaf and concentrates, making it a dual use device.
The device has four built-in experience modes, that allow you to select the option that most suits your preferred vaping style or what you are trying to achieve in this session, whether it's stealth, flavour, efficiency, or boost.
The PAX Plus also allows you to choose between a full 0.5g oven for longer or shared vaping sessions, or a 0.25g half-pack oven for shorter solo sessions, by offering a choice of two different oven lids.
