Is Vaping cheaper thank smoking
cigarettes?
Well, this all really depends on how much you
vape and how ‘into it’ you get, if you just stick
to the vape pens and don’t go through lots of
bottles everyday then yes, it will be cheaper,
with the initial cost being anywhere from £10 –
£30 and the bottles of liquid being around £5. It
can be cheaper, but many people do spend lots
on their devices and ‘gourmet’ liquids. It really
depends on how far you want to take this, is it
just to get off the cigarettes then stop vaping, or
continue Vaping and lower your Nic level.
There is great deal of lingo with Vaping so I
have listed the most common ones below, I
hope this will help.
Terms:
• Nic = Nicotine
• Clouds = The vapour that is produced from
your Vape device. (Cloud Chasing)
• Liquid, Juice, eliquid = The liquid that contains
flavouring and nicotine
• Ohms = This is the resistance of your coil
• Coil = The element that heats up the liquid
and creates the vapour
• Kanthal, NiChrome, Nickel, Titanium wires =
These are the metals that you use to create
a coil
• Wick = The material that soaks up the liquid
and is inserted within the coil, this in the low
end devices are silica wick, in most devices
these are cotton.
• TC = Temperature Control, this is still in it’s
infancy, but it relates to a device that can limit
the temperature of the coil to make sure that
you do not get a dry hit.
• Dry Hit = This is where there is little to no
liquid on your wick and tends to burn the wick
creating that dry hit.
• VV = Variable Voltage, this is where you can
set the volts going to your coil, more volts
means more heat and vapour
• VW = Variable Wattage, again you can adjust
the watts going to your coil to create more/
less heat and vapour
• SubOhm = This is for experienced Vapers
only, it means that you are Vaping under 1
Ohm and this is where experience of battery
safety is required, it is very dangerous to Vape
at very low ohms without the right batteries
and knowledge of what your batteries are
capable of. Batteries can vent and explode
if they are pushed and stressed beyond their
capabilities. EXTREME CARE IS NEEDED.
• 18650, 26650, 18350, 18500 = These are the
different size of batteries the right ones are
needed for your device. Again care is needed
here when you are dealing with batteries, only
purchase genuine high amp and high drain
batteries for your devices.
• Box Mod = These are as the name states,
Vaping devices in the shape/style of a box,
these can be regulated or unregulated
• Mech Mods = (Mechanical Mods) these are
unregulated devices that allow the battery to
push all it’s power to the coil, again care is
needed here, experience of battery safety is
required.
• Regulated and unregulated = Regulated
devices are safer, they as the names
suggests regulate the power to the coil, safety
features can include, low power shut off, low
resistance warning, reverse battery warning,
Unregulated does not have any safety built in
and requires experience to use them.
• Steeping = This is when you leave your liquid
to mature over a period of time, best when
it is in a cool dark place and it allows the
flavours to mix and especially needed when
it is custard or cream flavourings.
