Millions of people across the UK are now making the decision to make the switch from smoking to vaping in order to lead a healthier lifestyle.
Smoking has been known to be a leading cause of many serious diseases for quite some time now, however Public Health England and other health care organisations have published research finding vaping to be 95% safer than smoking, giving smokers a way to quit that is not only healthier but also feels familiar enough to replace the habit effectively.
Make The Change
When making the switch from smoking to vaping it is important to remember that for many this is a whole lifestyle change, and it may not always be easy.
For this reason, if you truly want to succeed in giving up smoking you need to have the will to do so and to make changes to your life in order to make it as easy as possible.
This may mean asking friends and family who are still smoking to not do so around you, at least at first, and removing temptation such as half empty cigarette packets and lighters from your home.
Your Device
To give yourself the best chance at success it is important to choose the vape device that will best suit you. When looking for your first device we recommend you go in to a specialist vape shop and it is usually advisable that you select a device that is from the ‘starter kit’ section.
This range of devices are designed to best suit new vapers with the intention of being used as a stop smoking aid and will often have an airflow design that will replicate that of a cigarette.
You will also find that these vape devices will not be too big , bulky or powerful, and will also be the most user-friendly range of kits. Read our blog post on our top 5 starter kit devices of 2018 here.
Your E-Liquid
Choosing the right e-liquid is arguably the most important part of your set up.
If you select an e-liquid that is too high in nicotine strength then you may find it uncomfortable to vape and not want to use it, and if you choose an e liquid that is too low in nicotine strength it may not satisfy your nicotine cravings and you may find yourself still craving a cigarette.
If you are looking for a higher strength nicotine as you are a heavy smoker, you may find that a nic salt e-liquid will suit you well, as the nature of nic salts mean they are very smooth to vape even at higher strengths, read more about this in our post ‘What Are Nic Salts?’.
Similarly, it is important to find a flavour you love. Many people will start off on a tobacco flavour to keep vaping as similar to smoking as possible, although they will often then move on to another flavour once they have gotten used to vaping.
There are countless flavours available, from menthol, to fruit, to dessert, and find the right one will keep you interested and inclined to keep vaping and stop smoking!
Speak To An Expert
Our biggest piece of advice is to go in to a specialist vape shop and speak to an expert member of staff who can help you select the best set up to help you give up smoking.
Not only that but they will be able to help you set the device up and show you how to use it correctly, as well as answering any questions you might have.
An additional positive to going in to a specialist vape shop is that you will often be able to try out some of the devices and e liquids to help you select the one that best suits you.
When buying in a vape shop like Evapo you know that all of the devices and e liquids are of a high quality and have been sourced from reputable distributors.
If you are unable to go in to a physical vape shop, we urge you to at the least order it from a recognised online vape shop, to give you these same assurances.
If you are thinking about exploring vaping as a way to give up smoking and have some questions or would like some advice, why not pop in to your local Evapo store and speak to one of our knowledgeable and helpful members of staff.
