The world of vaping can be confusing and overwhelming for long-time smokers.
There are a lot of things you can learn and get used to when using e-cigarettes , especially when you start from simple starter kits to advanced ones like Sub ohm.
You may make a few small mistakes when you first start out, and these small mistakes can be quite costly if you keep making them without knowing where you are going wrong.
And below are some small "accidents" that vapers can encounter when first switching and how to avoid them.
Choose the wrong essential oil
Many people have the habit of randomly choosing a bottle of essential oil that looks nice and putting it in the burner without thinking.
But the ratio of PG and VG is very important, choose the ratio that best suits you before buying.
If you feel like you don't get enough vapor, or your throat feels dry when you smoke, then you should probably choose an e-liquid with a higher VG ratio.
If you need advice, you can visit your local vape shop to try out the e-liquids and make the best choice, or join online groups or forums to see what e-liquids other users of your kit use.
Choose equipment that is too cheap
Picking up a cheap vape kit that's practically free to get you vaping right away can be tempting, but it can diminish the experience and discourage you from making the switch.
There are many vape brands on the market, so choose a product from a popular and reputable brand to buy a quality product and have the best experience.
Not storing coils properly
Many vapers complain about tasting burnt when vaping, there are a few small reasons that can lead to this problem.
One is because you haven't changed the coil for too long - the coil, especially the manufacturer's coil, needs to be replaced after a few weeks of use.
If you burn out the coil - or in other words, vape until the cotton is dry - you will get what is called a “dry hit”, which leaves a horrible taste on your tongue.
Finally, it is because you vape before the e-liquid has fully absorbed into the cotton. If you try to vape while the cotton is still dry, the cotton will burn.
Leave vape on in pocket
This may seem unlikely, but quite a few newbies just put their phones in their pockets or bags and go do something else, forgetting that they haven't turned them off.
This not only affects the battery life, but can also lead to essential oil leakage, not to mention that you accidentally let the machine run while moving, causing more unfortunate accidents.
Make sure to turn off the device before storing it, even if you plan to use it again soon, this is the best way to ensure no accidents happen.
Vape like a smoker
People who have smoked for many years are used to taking short, strong puffs.
But this is not how you should vape, as it won't produce much smoke and you won't get enough nicotine from the e-liquid.
For best results, take long, slow puffs before releasing the smoke. This will give you a big, satisfying puff.
Fun fact: There was once a vaper who accidentally threw away his vape pen out of habit when smoking.
Using too little nicotine
When first using vape, many people do not choose the right nicotine concentration needed for the essential oil.
Choose a type with too much nicotine concentration and vape continuously like there is no tomorrow, you will feel dizzy and nauseous. If you choose a type with too low concentration, you will not feel satisfied and want to go back to regular cigarettes.
Out of essential oils
There's nothing worse than taking your vape out, going to take a hit, and realizing you're running low on juice.
Worse yet, the essential oil in your bottle is gone too.
Remember when using vape, you must always have essential oil whether at home or out, which means you will not have to worry about running out of essential oil or having your coil burn out.
Forgot to charge
Carrying a vape kit out is pretty pointless if its battery is dead because you forgot to charge it.
Remember to fully charge your vape before going out, facing a dead device while out will make you want to go back to smoking.
Do not clean the burner when changing essential oils.
It's easy to add new e-liquid to the atomizer before the old one runs out, but this type of mixing can result in an unpleasant taste.
Furthermore, you should regularly clean the coil before it is time to replace it, because if the coil is clogged with residue, it will affect the taste of your essential oil.
Dry mouth
You will feel dry mouth if you vape too often in a short period of time, this can be avoided if you regularly hydrate your body.
