It seems like only yesterday we were working on a blog post called ‘Vape Pods, A New Way to Vape!’In reality, that was over six years ago, and they are certainly no longer a new way to vape.What has changed over that time has been the development of different types of pod vapes.From a simple, easily defined system that consisted.....

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.....

Experiencing problems with your disposable vape?This can be very frustrating - the whole point of a single-use vape is that they are supposed to be easy. You should just take them out of the packet and inhale.Fortunately, issues don’t happen that often. However, when they do you will want to know what to do.In contrast to a refillable device, there’s.....

Did you know that, according to the BBC and Trading Standards, 1 in 3 disposable vapes sold are illegal?As we’ll see in this article, unregulated disposables are often sold by the same people who sell vapes to children, are potentially dangerous and are doing huge damage to harm reduction and vaping’s reputation.Fortunately, it's not hard to identify an illegal.....

“Excuse me, I think your pocket is on fire!”These immortal words were uttered to me, by a doctor of all people, in what counts as one of the more unusual experiences of my life. (And probably the doctor’s too!)The problem, of course, was caused by an auto-firing vape device. This was many years ago and thankfully nowadays, mods have vastly.....
