Vaping is at a crucial juncture, with the UK government considering banning flavours, imposing vape taxes, enforcing plain packaging and other measures. At this key time, the superb E-Cigarette Summit has once again brought together top experts and scientists for an unparalleled exchange of science, evidence and (often conflicting) views. The themes and questions this year are powerful. They include:How misinformation.....

Vaping is under scrutiny again, and that’s partly the result of its own success. Since vaping has become popular in the UK, smoking rates have fallen to the lowest in decades, with regular smoking amongst children now below 1%. (1)At the same time, vaping, while better than smoking, is not problem free. Many of these problems derive from irresponsible sellers.....

With their ease of use and great taste, disposable vape devices make an ideal no-fuss introduction for new vapers. But, despite their benefits, disposables do have their drawbacks - with longevity being a prominent issue.With just 2ml of e-liquid per device, regular disposables tend to last around a day before needing to be thrown away - which can result in.....

Calls for a ban on disposable vapes are growing, and it’s easy to see why.Most of us have seen a disposable device carelessly thrown onto the side of a road - not to mention the headlines telling us about the millions being binned every week.Disposables have also been blamed by many for an increase in youth vaping. They’re not good for.....

There’s no point in whispering it quietly. Vaping has an image problem. To be fair, it always has had an image problem. The government, backed by multiple reviews of the evidence, may say that vaping is 95% safer than smoking, but most people follow scare stories in the press rather than advice from the UK Health Security Agency. Still, that image.....

 Elf Bar, probably the world’s best-known disposable vape brand, continues to innovate and improve their devices with the launch of their Elf Bar 600 V2 range. Following the success of the original Elf Bar 600 range, these new devices boast a new look, improved performance, innovative flavour-enhancing coil design and a selection of both new and classic Elf Bar flavours. As.....

When we first put together a guide on using vape batteries, it was considered a complicated topic.Many vapers still used unregulated mods and had a better understanding of battery science than many A-Level physics students.Since then, vape devices have become simpler and easier to use. However, even if you are using a simple pod device, knowing a few basics can.....

Vampire Vape. One of the UK’s top e-liquid brands, it’s a name that needs no introduction to long-time vapers. Since its inception more than ten years ago, the Vampire Vape brand has been making waves (and clouds!) in the UK - and much of its fame is down to the best-known and award-winning e-liquid Heisenberg.However, with a lineup of 50.....

I remember the situation vividly.I hadn’t long been vaping, and I had my tank filled with my favourite menthol e-liquid. But I fancied a change. I vaped as much of the remaining menthol as I could and added a tobacco liquid to my tank.The taste was terrible – I’m not a fan of menthol tobacco juices!I was reminded of this.....

Early reports suggest the World Health Organisation (WHO) is about to launch a new assault on vaping.  Indeed, The New Nicotine Alliance (NNA) has identified proposals that are likely to destroy vaping as we know it. What’s more, member states like the UK are bound by law to apply the proposals. In this post we’ll cover some of the worst proposals, and what.....

If you’re new to vaping, or even if you’ve been vaping a while but still sometimes get a less-than-perfect vape experience, you might be making some vape tank mistakes. It is true that vaping has come a long way since we first wrote about this more than ten years ago.Devices are much more user friendly, and you don’t need to have.....

When I first started in the vaping industry 15 years ago, issues with vape battery safety were far more common than they are today.Vape devices weren’t as good as they are now, so many vapers built their own.These homemade devices, as well as some commercial ones, came without the safety protections that are so common now.Fortunately, modern devices are a.....

As a vaper, you probably just want to enjoy your vape, appreciate the fact you no longer smoke and get on with your life.Chances are, though, after a while you’ll get people attacking you for doing so.The hidden reason behind this is the huge amount of money being spent on anti-vaping campaigns.That’s resulted in a slew of misinformation, and the.....
