Health & Safety Warning

IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNING: Vaping is not safe. While some studies suggest vaping may be less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes, it still poses significant health risks. E-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and can harm adolescent brain development. Vaping has been linked to lung injuries, respiratory issues, and cardiovascular problems. The long-term health effects of vaping are still being studied and are not fully understood. If you don't currently smoke or vape, don't start. If you're trying to quit smoking, consult with healthcare professionals about evidence-based cessation methods.
No. Vaping is not recommended for people who don't currently smoke. While it may be considered as a harm reduction tool for current smokers trying to quit, vaping introduces nicotine addiction and exposes users to potentially harmful chemicals. Youth, young adults, pregnant women, and people who don't currently use tobacco products should not vape.
The evidence is mixed. Some smokers have used vaping as a tool to quit smoking, but e-cigarettes are not FDA-approved smoking cessation devices. Many people who use vaping to quit smoking end up using both products (dual use). For proven smoking cessation methods, consult healthcare professionals who can recommend FDA-approved treatments such as nicotine replacement therapy, prescription medications, and counseling.

Understanding Vaping

Vaping devices generally fall into categories: pod systems (compact, often pre-filled), vape pens (cylindrical, beginner-friendly), box mods (larger, more customizable), and disposables (single-use). Each type has different features, complexity levels, and use cases. Beginners often start with simpler devices like pod systems before exploring more complex options.
MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) involves drawing vapor into your mouth before inhaling to your lungs, similar to smoking a traditional cigarette. DTL (Direct-to-Lung) means inhaling vapor directly into your lungs, producing larger vapor clouds. The choice often depends on personal preference and the type of device being used.
Nicotine is highly addictive and can be harmful. E-liquids come in various nicotine strengths, typically ranging from 0mg (nicotine-free) to 50mg or higher. Higher concentrations are often used in smaller devices with nicotine salts. Nicotine exposure can affect brain development, especially in youth and young adults. Handle e-liquids with nicotine carefully and keep them away from children and pets.
Coils typically last 1-2 weeks, though this varies based on usage patterns, e-liquid composition, and device settings. Signs a coil needs replacement include burnt taste, decreased vapor production, or leaking. Sweeter e-liquids tend to degrade coils faster.

Safety & Responsible Use

Use only the manufacturer-recommended charger, never leave batteries charging unattended, avoid exposing devices to extreme temperatures, keep e-liquids locked away from children and pets, purchase products from reputable sources, and follow manufacturer instructions. If you experience any adverse health effects, stop using the device and consult a healthcare professional immediately.
Store e-liquids in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep bottles tightly sealed and in child-resistant packaging. Always store out of reach of children and pets - nicotine poisoning can occur from ingestion, skin contact, or eye contact. Most e-liquids have a shelf life of 1-2 years when stored properly.
No. Health authorities strongly advise against vaping during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Nicotine exposure can harm fetal and infant development. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding and struggling with nicotine addiction, consult your healthcare provider about safe cessation options.
