If you’re feeling ready to give up the cigarettes and switch to a much better alternative. You may have a million questions about where to start and what vaping products are right for you. In this article we are going to address those questions that all beginners have when they decide to make that life-changing leap from smoking to vaping.
Of course, quitting smoking is never easy, and you’ll have some days that are better than others. But, it will be the best thing you decide to do for yourself.
Here some things you should know about when you start vaping:
- You need to try out different mods, to get the right one for you, it may not be the first one you chose, so keep experimenting until you find your perfect device. You may also like to try a starter kit like the JUUL Starter Kit to make it a little easier.
- Because the sensation is different to smoking, you may cough at first – this will pass within a few days, so stick with it.
- You may get a dry mouth! So, when you first start vaping maybe have an extra glass of water on hand.
- You may still try and use the vape like a cigarette. For example, if you puff harder on a cigarette, more smoke will appear. With a vaping device, you just need to take it slow and steady.
- The nicotine hit may take longer. Don’t get frustrated, it’s just a new way of getting your nicotine.
- Don’t over vape. Just like when you smoke too much, you can vape too much. If you are taking in too much nicotine it can cause a headache, nausea or dizziness. You just need to take a break and wait for it to pass.
