These are to do with the way you inhale the vapour — whether you hold it in your mouth first like a cigarette , or direct inhale like an asthma inhaler. Mouth-to-lung devices are ideal for quitting, because the inhaling is similar to smoking. They are discreet, have small clouds, and can deliver high nicotine which helps for quitting.
There are two mouth-to-lung options: pod devices or pen devices. These can be available as starter kits. Pod devices are super simple. You just pop in a cartridge also known as caps, capsules or pods , and puff it like a cigarette. There's no need to change a coil or push a button. These have a battery, coil and tank that you fill with e-liquid. Pod devices have small cartridges that clip into the end. Some are pre-filled disposable cartridges, like Nespresso pods, and some are refillable.
Research brands and models and speak to your vape store specialist. Direct-to-lung devices also known as direct-inhale, mod boxes or tanks are the ones that can produce big clouds. People who are experienced vapers tend to use these. These are not recommended for quitting smoking as they use a different inhaling technique to smoking, and use a lower nicotine e-liquid which is not ideal for starting to quit, but might suit some people.
Vaping products are consumer products and are not medical stop smoking products. Nicotine replacement therapy has been widely used for many years to help people stop smoking and is a safe treatment. Little research has been conducted into the safety of e-cigarettes in pregnancy, but they're likely to be much less harmful to a pregnant woman and her baby than cigarettes. If you're pregnant, licensed NRT products such as patches and gum are the recommended option to help you stop smoking.
But if you find using an e-cigarette helpful for quitting and staying smokefree, it's much safer for you and your baby than continuing to smoke. As with all rechargeable electrical devices, the correct charger should be used and the device should not be left charging unattended or overnight. If you suspect you have experienced a side effect to your health from using your e-cigarette or would like to report a product defect, report these via the Yellow Card Scheme.
This is in contrast to secondhand smoke from smoking, which is known to be very harmful to health. E-cigarettes are not currently available from the NHS on prescription, so you cannot get one from your GP. You can buy them from specialist vape shops, some pharmacies and other retailers, or on the internet. For more information and advice on using e-cigarettes to help quit smoking, visit Better Health.
It produces spectacular levels of smooth, strato-cumulus-like vapour that just keeps on coming. Very impressive. You can expect a full day of vaping on a single charge, too. On the other hand, three quarters of those patients affected apparently reported that they had been using unregulated THC-based e-liquids THC is the psychoactive compound in marijuana.
Some medical institutions have also suggested that some fruit flavours may be to blame. As a result, the US Food and Drug Administration has already banned fruit and mint flavours in all sealed cartridge-based vaping systems, partly for the reasons above but also to dissuade kids from taking up vaping.
Many smokers dread the thought of giving up or not being able to have a puff when they feel like it. Nicotine patches quell the urge to some degree but it's not an instant solution. Vaporisers and e-Cigarettes their ciggie-shaped counterparts are arguably the best options in this respect because they fulfil the two main prerequisites of a smoker: nicotine grip in the throat and the sight of smoke being exhaled.
The great thing about vaporisers is that the smoke being exhaled isn't actually smoke; it's nicotine-infused vapour or steam which evaporates in a flash leaving no nasty smells or residues in its wake. Okay, if you're a non-vaper, it does stink if you walk through a cloud of it, but your clothes won't smell of synthetic fruit afterwards, which is a step up from fags. Many vapes use a screw-in atomizer that encompasses a heating coil and a transparent e-liquid chamber.
To prepare, fill the chamber with e-liquid there's a huge range of flavours and nicotine strengths to choose from, but more on that below , press the button a few times to turn it on, then press and hold the button while drawing on the mouthpiece.
Vaporisers produce far more vapour than e-cigarettes and ordinary ciggies. For that reason we've mostly omitted those models from this list and concentrated on the most popular type of vape for the majority of casual users: sealed cartridge models. Cartridge- or pod-based vapes are usually pen shaped, easy to pocket and very discreet. They also allow you to swop flavours instantly. Nevertheless, some vape producers like Vaporesso have addressed this issue by creating a refillable pod-based system which allows you to choose your own strength and e-liquid flavour and swop cartridges at will.
Vaporisers and e-liquids are available through online outlets and in most high streets and corner shops. There are all sorts of vapes in this guide but our overall favourite is the refillable cartridge-based Vaporesso Osmall. This might not be to the taste of cloud-chasing extremists due to its ease of use and lack of resemblance to something from the Star Wars cantina scene, but it is currently the best you can get.
However, for those seeking a genuine alternative to standard cigarettes, there's nothing more suitable on the market right now than the IQOS system , which uses proper tobacco that is heated rather than burned.
