It can be hard to predict trends in vaping.In fact, at our office (pre-covid!) we used to say that all we can predict is that, at some point, something we can’t foresee will completely turn vaping on its head. That, at least, has turned out to be true several times.Still, by monitoring current trends, talking to manufacturers and referencing our.....
Updated: September 2021Despite all the advances in vaping technology, for years if you wanted something that looks and feels like a cigarette the only option has been the humble ‘cigalike’.Now, at least when it comes to feel, that may change.The Innokin EQ FLTR could be a game changer for smokers who want to switch to vaping but miss the.....

When you are vaping, one of the most important things to learn is how to prime a coil.By priming the coil, you can get better taste, a longer-lasting coil or pod and avoid the bad taste that comes when a coil burns out.The good news is that for most devices, priming is very easy and you only need to do.....
The European Council has finally decided to tax vape products in the same way they tax tobacco, with a tax on vapes applying across the EU.Their next step will be to pass the proposal on to the European Commission.This is the culmination of a long battle, with rumours, negotiations and consultations about the tax circulating for years.In an early.....
A while back I did a post on outdoor vapes, a topic close to my heart as I have clogged up many vapes with dirt and sand over the years!There’s a number of vapes that are already great for vaping when you’re out and about, but the upcoming Geekvape Aegis Pod may well be the best yet.Geekvape already have.....
Updated: January 2024Vaping has become a lot more accessible over the last decade or so. Gone are the days when the only options were complicated mods that required expert knowledge, home-built coils and a LOT of fiddling to operate, or simple cigalikes with a limited range of flavours.Despite these advances, for those with disabilities and other limitations, there are still.....
Updated: November 2023Considering I work in reach of tens of thousands of bottles of e-liquid, I’m still pretty good at running out of e-liquid when I’m NOT at work.I can’t count the times I’ve turned the house upside down looking for a bottle of ANYTHING! (I usually find one bottle of Halo down the back of the sofa.)This all means.....
My daughter is a teenager and I hear all sorts of stories about the antics of her peers.They include teenagers smoking in the schoolyard, drinking alcohol until they collapse and doing drugs on the school bus.Crucially, they are not doing these things because they think they are safe.They are well aware that these things are forbidden and unhealthy. They do.....
In previous years Smok was known for their huge mods and immense power, not to mention their futuristic, space-age design (think of the Smok Alien for example!)But Smok has evolved, and in recent years has produced a range of highly popular pod systems. At the same time, the quality of Smok pod systems has improved, making them a viable.....
A few years ago, vaping was very nearly banned in Europe.The European Commission and the majority of the Member States planned to medicinalise electronic cigarettes. As it can take 10-20 years to get a medical licence for a product, that would have essentially outlawed vaping.At the time, vapers across the UK and Europe mobilised, with thousands writing letters to their.....
Updated August 2021When I first tried vaping in 2012, everything was much simpler.I started on a basic cigalike device. All you had to do to use it was screw the cartomizer into the battery section and inhale to vape. It couldn’t have been easier.As things progressed, I got used to refilling and pressing a fire button on pen-style devices, and.....
Updated: January 2024When I’m not writing about vaping, I like being outdoors.Much of my spare time is taking up with surfing, going for long walks and growing vegetables in my garden.I know I’m not alone. After switching to vaping, many people gain a renewed enthusiasm for outdoor activities.But whether you simply enjoy the outdoors, or whether you have a job.....
They called me mad when I decided to mix chocolate and orange to produce a Terry’s-style e-liquid.Unfortunately, they were right.Whether it was down to the balance of flavours or the specific orange I used, the combination was more like eating an orange with the aftertaste of chocolate still in your mouth than chocolate delicately-infused with orange. I tried again, dialling.....
