Just a week ago I speculated that vape shops might not close in the UK. It was not to be. Last night vape shops, along with all other non-essential shops, were ordered closed by the government. That’s despite lobbying from both vape trade associations (IBVTA / UKVIA), who called for vape shops to remain open […]
As Coronavirus continues to impact life across the UK (and, indeed, the world), we thought you might appreciate an update from a vaping perspective. There’s rumours to quash, vape hygiene to consider and the need to think about the continued supply of vape products. Let’s get started. Will vape shops be shut in a lockdown? […]
My daughter is a teenager, and I hear all sorts of stories about the antics of her peers. They include teenagers smoking in the school yard, 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 […]
In previous years Smok were 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 have evolved, and in recent years have produced a range of highly popular pod systems. At the same time, the quality of Smok products has […]
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 […]
When I first tried vaping in 2012, everything was much simpler. I started on a basic cigalike device, and 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 […]
A vape study co-published by Stanton Glantz which claimed vaping causes heart attacks was finally retracted yesterday by the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA). The study had incensed vape researchers after it claimed that using vape products caused heart attacks – while failing to mention that most of the subjects in the study […]
Last year we predicted that 2019 would be the year of the pod. That certainly seemed to be the case, with a huge range of pod devices, both closed and open, hitting the market. Now in 2020 this trend is evolving with the introduction of more powerful and sophisticated devices which marry the simplicity of […]
When 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, […]
One device we’re eagerly looking forward to is the Smok Nord 2, one of a plethora of new Smok Pod systems being launched. When we saw the original version of the device, we knew it was going to be a hit. That certainly proved to be the case, with the device rapidly becoming one of […]
