What is a vape device?

A vape device is an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette), e-vaporizer, or electronic delivery systems, are battery-operated devices that people use to inhale aerosol (vapor) which is produced by heating e-liquid.

Vape Kit

A vape kit consists of 3 parts; a coil, a tank and a mod. If you’re a beginner, you can start with a vape starter kit which has all 3 parts included and ready to use. A majority of starter kits only have one button to operate and do not require extensive knowledge on how to operate.

Vape Mod

The mod is the battery component of your vape which provides the power to the coil to heat the e-liquid. There are different types of mods available in the market, some are called regulated mods which gives you the ability to adjust the power output, this will change how warm your vape is and affects the flavour and vapor produced.

Vape Tank

The tank/pod of any vaping device holds your e-liquids and the coil. They come in different shape and sizes depending on the type of device you purchase.

Vape Coil

Coils are responsible for heating up e-liquid into a vapor. This is the only part of the device which needs to be replaced depending on how often you vape.
Closed vs Open Pod Device

Pod systems are the latest generation of vaping products. They are pocket e-cigarettes that are portable, discreet, and easy to use, making it one of the most popular options for smokers who want to find an alternative to smoking. Pod systems can deliver cigarette-like experience, imitating the convenience and impact that smokers crave.

Pod systems can be categorized into two types: Open Pod and Closed Pod.

Closed Pod Device

  • Pre-filled pod
  • Smallest type of device in the market, designed to be taken everywhere
  • Limited flavours and nicotine strengths to choose from

Who is it for?

  • Smokers looking for a discreet design
  • Smokers who prefer something compact and convenient
  • Smokers who have tried vaping unsuccessfully and looking to find something easier to use
  • Existing vapers who want a back-up device

Open Pod Device

  • Refillable pod
  • Small and compact device; suitable for everyday use
  • Opens up a world of flavour and nicotine options
  • In the long run, overall cost for open pod will be cheaper than closed pod

Who is it for?

  • Smokers who want a more customisable experience
  • Smokers and vapers who want to try out bigger and more powerful devices which give good flavour hit and satisfaction
  • Smokers who want unlimited flavour options
Direct-To-Lung vs Mouth-To-Lung

There are two types of vaping devices: mouth-to-lung (MTL) and direct-to-lung (DTL). As the name suggests, MTL vape is any device which you first draw the vapor into your mouth before inhaling it to your lungs. These are ideal for smokers or first time vapers because it closely resembles smoking cigarettes.

For those looking for more vapor while still satisfying their nicotine cravings, DTL vaping devices is the best bet. These types of device offer larger airflow and operate at a higher power which means that you can inhale a large amount of vapor with every draw you take. Because these devices operate at a higher power, it is recommended to use low nicotine strengths e-liquid.

What is E-Liquid?
E-liquid or e-juice is a mixture of food grade flavouring, propylene glycol (PG) & vegetable glycerine (VG) and a choice of nicotine levels (including no nicotine). E-liquid comes in different types of flavours. The mix of PG and VG alters the throat hit and amount of vapor you produce. High PG gives a strong throat hit and VG is gentler on the throat and produces bigger clouds. Flavours are personal preference. We have 3 different e-liquid nicotine bases:

Freebase Nicotine

Freebase nicotine is the first and most commonly found type of nicotine e-liquid on the market. Freebase nicotine e-liquids contain nicotine in its purest form which means that as the nicotine strength goes up, so does the throat hit. It is recommended for those looking to create large vapor, looking for a throat hit or for those who like to puff often throughout the day.

Freebase Nicotine Strengths are available in 0mg, 3mg ,6mg,9mg, 11mg, 12mg, 16mg, 18mg and 24mg.

Nicotine Salts

Nicotine salt is nicotine which contains benzoic acid. This addition causes the nicotine to be less harsh and much more smooth when vaping. Because of this, higher nicotine strengths can be used while ensuring that the liquid is not harsh.Nicotine salt is good for people who are highly dependent on nicotine or people who do not want to puff often throughout the day but still get the nicotine satisfaction.

Note: Due to the nicotine strengths, we do not recommend these devices for sub-ohm or high-powered devices.

Nicotine salts are available in 0mg, 15mg, 20mg, 25mg, 30mg, 35mg, 40mg, 45mg, 48mg, 50mg, 60mg.

Sub-ohm Nicotine Salts

Sub-ohm nicotine salts use the ingredients found in nicotine salt e-liquid but in a much lower dosage. Sub-ohm nicotine allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds by allowing you to attain the satisfying nicotine hit and produce big clouds.

Sub-Ohm Nicotine Salts are available in 0mg, 3mg, 5mg, 9mg, 10mg.

Getting Started With Your Vape

Priming The Coil

Priming your coil is a common method to ensure that your brand new coil will be saturated with e-liquid and prevent your coil from burning early on. To prime your coil, simply place a few drops of e-liquid onto the exposed cotton of the coil before installing it into the tank. Once your coil has been installed and the tank is filled with e-liquid, let it sit for a few minutes before use.

Switching Your Vape On And Off

Most devices are turned on/off by clicking the fire button 3 or 5 times consecutively. Make sure you switch off your vape if you’re not using it to ensure it doesn't accidentally fire in your pocket or bag which can damage the coil and battery.

Begin To Vape

To vape, simply inhale from the device while pressing on the fire button. If your device does not have a button, it means that you can just inhale and it will activate by itself. Avoid holding on to the fire button if you are not inhaling as this may cause the coil to burn faster and also the device to leak.
