Question 1

What vape is best for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Vape pod kits are the best option for beginners due to their simplicity, low maintenance and ease of use. They are compact, easy to refill and designed for a smooth, cigarette-style draw. Browse our vape pod kits to find beginner-friendly devices designed for everyday use.

Question 2

What nicotine strength should I use?

Accepted Answer

Most smokers or ex-smokers start with a 12mg vape juice for a balanced throat hit. Lighter smokers may prefer lower strengths like 3mg or 6mg, while those looking for a smoother experience often choose nicotine salts in strengths such as 20mg or 50mg when using pod devices. Nicotine salts are best suited for MTL (mouth-to-lung) devices and are not recommended for use in high-powered vape mods. Browse our vape juice and nicotine salt options to find the right strength for your needs.

Question 3

Can I use nic salts in any vape device?

Accepted Answer

Nicotine salts are best suited for MTL (mouth-to-lung) devices, such as vape pod kits, where they provide a smooth and satisfying experience. They are not recommended for use in high-powered vape mods, as this can result in excessive nicotine intake and an unpleasant vaping experience. For best results, pair nicotine salts with low-powered pod devices designed for this type of vape juice.

Question 4

How long does a vape device last?

Accepted Answer

A vape device can last for several months to a few years depending on usage, build quality and how well it is maintained. Devices with built-in batteries may need replacing sooner, while more advanced devices can last longer with proper care. Replaceable parts such as coils or pods typically last between one to three weeks, depending on how often you vape and the type of vape juice used. To maintain performance, always use the correct replacement parts designed for your specific device.

Question 5

How long does vape juice last?

Accepted Answer

Unopened vape juice can last up to one to two years when stored in a cool, dark place. Once opened, it is best used within a few months to maintain optimal flavour and performance. Over time, vape juice can undergo a natural process known as steeping, where the flavour develops and becomes smoother. This can enhance the overall taste, especially in dessert or complex blends. However, excessive exposure to heat, light and air can degrade the liquid, so proper storage is important.

Question 6

What is the difference between vape juice and nic salts?

Accepted Answer

Vape juice (freebase nicotine) provides a stronger throat hit and is typically used in lower strengths such as 3mg or 6mg. It is best suited for more powerful vape devices, such as vape mods that use external batteries. Nicotine salts deliver a smoother inhale, even at higher strengths like 20mg or 50mg, making them ideal for low-powered vape pod devices and for those looking for a more cigarette-like experience. Choosing between the two depends on your device and how strong or smooth you prefer your vape.
