Supplies
Before the madness begins make sure you ’ re stocked up on juices , coils and any other consumables that you ’ re likely to get through over the Christmas and New Year period . Also , be sure to fi nd out your favourite vape shop ’ s opening times . It may be that it only closes for 24 hours , but do you really want to spend Boxing Day fi ghting through the High Street crowds when you could be at home swigging eggnog and bingeing on Netfl ix ?
Novelties
You ’ ve got the novelty socks and garish Christmas jumper . Why not go the whole hog and purchase some festive liquids ? Nothing says ‘ Christmas ’ like Yorkshire pudding and gravy e-liquid !
Gifts
There are so many ideas for vape gifts out there ( SEE OUR FYI SECTION ), ranging from mods and liquids to t-shirts , hats and keyrings . You could even purchase one of the many vaping subscription services which will send the recipient new juices every month . It ’ s the gift that keeps on giving .
Practice Stealth Vaping
Despite all the evidence indicating that vaping is considerably less harmful than smoking , some non-smokers would rather not be engulfed in sweet-smelling vapour as they sip their mulled wine . And while some pubs and clubs implicitly or explicitly allow vaping , it would be courteous to reign in the vapour clouds as much as possible . Consider the liquids you use and how you vape them .
Hangovers
Imagine you ’ ve woken up with a cracking hangover on New Year ’ s Day . You reach for your mod and take a hit of sweet , sugary juice . Is that really the kind of taste you want in your system when your stomach is angry with you ? Perhaps you should opt for something a bit subtler until it has settled down .
Or maybe you could avoid that situation altogether by vaping some CBD e-liquid while you drink and recover ? A University of Kentucky study found that administration of CBD can offset the negative physiological effects of alcohol consumption . Worth a try .
Do something good
Your New Year ’ s resolution could be to reduce your nicotine consumption or quit altogether , or maybe you could encourage a friend to try vaping . It ’ s also worth considering supporting the industry by becoming a member of IBVTA or donating to the NNA .
Happy Holidays
