The Transition from Smoking Cigarettes to Vaping

What’s the main appeal behind vaping?  Well, if you ask the large majority of vapers, it’s clear that it has to do with how vaping has replaced the desire to smoke cigarettes.  The vaping industry has been around since the late 2000s, and since its initial launch, it has been able to make an impact thanks to innovative and highly impressive technology.

If you’re ready to make the transition from cigarettes to vaping at last, then there are some things that you can do to make sure that it goes as well as possible.  Being able to switch to vaping is a matter of choosing all of the right products to get the most out of every session.

Can Former Smokers Enjoy a New Vaping Hobby?

So, why do so many former smokers love their new vaping hobby?  Well, there are a few things that make vaping highly unique.  One is that vapers can select their ideal nicotine strength, because as we all know, it’s important to take in enough nicotine to feel satisfied.  E-liquids come in a wide range of nicotine strengths, and the vaper can select the one that best suits their individual needs.

Further, e-juices come in a huge array of flavors.  Vapers can choose whether they wish to taste candies, desserts, creams, tobacco blends, menthol-infused flavors, luscious fruits and more.  Many vapers enjoy keeping a rotation of various flavors that reflect individual things that they crave on a regular basis.

Vaping to many is also a hobby that allows people to geek out on technology in a very hands-on way.  Vaping devices come in all shapes and sizes, boasting highly remarkable and advanced features that make the simple act of collecting hardware extremely rewarding.

How to Transition from Cigarettes to Vaping Properly

If you wanna transition from smoking to vaping properly, it’s important that you go about the process in the right manner.  We recommend that you make the transition immediately rather than gradually, as it’s believed that transitioning cold turkey is the best method.  You won’t have to worry about going through nicotine withdrawal assuming that you have the right products available to you.  One important factor is choosing the right nicotine level for your e-liquid.  Base this amount off of how much you used to smoke.  For most former smokers, salt-based nicotine is a better choice than freebase nicotine, because salt-based nicotine is more potent.  But some new vapers are more interested in blowing big clouds and using high-powered, highly customizable devices, and these devices use freebase nicotine, which is less potent per hit.

We’re gonna cover both in order for you to decide what’s best.
