What is vaping?
Vaping is the act of inhaling vapor produced by an electronic device, commonly known as a vape or e-cigarette, which heats a liquid (e-liquid or vape juice) containing nicotine, flavourings, and other ingredients.
Is vaping safer than smoking?
Vaping is generally considered less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes because it involves inhaling vapour instead of combusted tobacco. However, it is not entirely risk-free and long-term health effects are still being studied.
What are the main components of a vape?
A typical vape device consists of a battery, a vape tank or pod for holding e-liquid, a coil to heat the liquid, and a mouthpiece for inhaling the vapour.
What is e-liquid?
E-liquid, also known as vape juice, is a solution that typically contains propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), nicotine, and flavourings. It comes in various nicotine strengths and flavours.
Do all e-liquids contain nicotine?
No, e-liquids come in both nicotine-containing and nicotine-free options. Users can choose the nicotine strength that suits their preference, including 0mg for no nicotine.
How do I choose the right vape device?
Choosing the right vape device depends on your preferences and experience level. Beginners might prefer simple, user-friendly starter vape kits, while more experienced vapers might opt for advanced vape kits with customisable settings.
How long does a vape coil last?
The lifespan of a vape coil varies depending on usage and the type of e-liquid used. On average, coils last between 1 to 4 weeks. Signs that a coil needs replacing include reduced flavour, vapour production, or a burnt taste.

Is it expensive to vape?
The cost of vaping can vary widely depending on the type of device, frequency of use, and choice of e-liquid. While the initial setup may have a higher cost, ongoing expenses can be lower than smoking traditional cigarettes.
Can vaping help me quit smoking?
Many people use vaping as a tool to quit smoking, as it allows them to gradually reduce nicotine intake. However, success rates vary, and it's recommended to seek additional support and use evidence-based methods for quitting.
What are the legal age restrictions for vaping?
Legal age restrictions for purchasing and using vape products vary by country and region, but generally, you must be at least 18 or 21 years old.
Can I vape anywhere?
No, vaping is subject to regulations and restrictions similar to smoking. Many public places, workplaces, and transportation services prohibit vaping. Always check local laws and regulations.
Is secondhand vapour harmful?
The risks of secondhand vape exposure are not fully understood, but it is generally considered less harmful than secondhand smoke from traditional cigarettes. However, it's best to avoid vaping around others, especially children and pregnant women.
How should I store my vape and e-liquids?
Store your vape device and e-liquids in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. Ensure e-liquid bottles are tightly sealed to prevent leaks and spills.
