Having been in the Vape retail business since 2017 we have seen many changes and trends in the industry. There has also been a massive increase in the range of products available which has led to a lot of confusion for people who are new to vaping.
We completely understand that it can be overwhelming for new vapers, but please don’t let that put you off. Understanding vaping and what vape you should buy boils down to a few simple bits of information:
Mouth to Lung (MTL) Vs. Direct to Lung (DTL)
Vape Kits generally break down into two categories MTL and DTL: MTL - This is the style of vape kit that allows you to take a drag in the same way that you would on a cigarette, so you draw the vapour into your mouth and then inhale to your lungs … hence Mouth to Lung. • Low power (10 to 20 watts) • Tight draw • Small clouds • A throat kick • Higher nicotine level
Advantages of Mouth to Lung: • Feels like a cigarette • Is discrete and inoffensive • Battery last longer • E-liquid last longer • Devices are generally smaller • E-liquid is more readily available if you are out and about and realise you have forgotten your e-liquid DTL - This is the style of vape kit that allow you to draw the vapour directly into your lungs, more similar to the sensation of using a shish pipe or sucking on a straw. • High power (30 watts+) • Loose draw • Big room filling clouds • Very smooth • Low nicotine levels
Advantages of Direct to Lung:
• Intense flavour
• Massive range of flavours
• Great for tricks
• Generally the devices look cooler!
In our opinion it is only logical that if you are looking to quit smoking that you would want to buy a vape that replicates all of the sensation of smoking a cigarette as closely as possible. With that there is a clear winner … a Mouth to Lung vape kit is what you are looking for!
Now that we have established that a mouth to lung vape is in our opinion the best option to help you quit smoking let’s try and narrow down the options even further …
There are three fundamental factors that make a vape kit an excellent choice to help you quit smoking:
1. Battery life
We are all addicted to nicotine (if you aren’t then I really don’t know why you are reading this …) and when you are a smoker you are pretty much always within walking distance of somewhere that you can buy a pack of smokes if you are out and about and run out. Your vape needs to be something you can rely on to give you your nicotine fix all day and all night long, so buying a kit that has a large enough battery in it that you only ever have to charge it at night is key.
If you are going to vape at the 10-14 watt range then we recommend nothing smaller than a 2000mah battery, in the 15-18 watt we would say nothing smaller than 3000mah. Mah is a measure of battery life and is a key piece of info that you will find in all vape kit descriptions.
2. Adjustability
We think that this is absolutely key if you are brand new to vaping. The fact of the matter is that vaping does feel different to smoking and when you are brand new you will need to experiment to find out what works best for you.
Historically the only thing that you could change about your vape kit was the strength of the liquid that you put in it. This meant that for most people the vape felt too strong and made them cough or too weak and was not satisfying but thankfully those days are long gone.
What you are looking for is a vape kit with a display and buttons so that you can adjust the power. This means that you can use a higher nicotine level and reduce the power to make the vape feel smoother with you take a drag. Alternatively you can use a weaker liquid and increase the power to make it feel more satisfying.
There is another adjustment that can be made to a vape and that is its air flow. An airflow adjuster will allow you to tighten or loosen the draw. Imagine the difference between smoking a tightly rolled roll-up vs. Loosely rolled roll-up with no filter … I hope that makes sense.
The bottom line is that by buying an adjustable vape kit you will be able to fine tune your vape so that you find it both comfortable and satisfying which ultimately will mean you are more likely to use it and enjoy it from day one.
3. Easy Fill System
This is rather minor when compared to the previous two points but with the vast range of products available why settle for less. You will be filling your vape every day, probably a couple of times a day so it should be an super simple thing to do, even if you are walking down the street. We would suggest that you look for a kit where the top of the tank slides or twists to reveal a fill slot. There are many tanks like this available so please steer clear of tanks that need to be unscrewed or that have a rubber bung that needs to be pulled out … they are just an unnecessary pain in the a***
That really is about it …
To summarise
The best vape kit to quit smoking is a Mouth to lung kit with a long battery life, that is fully adjustable and has an easy fill system.
The market is constantly changing and our top recommended product changes regularly when new products are released so as always we think that the best thing that you can do is to pop into our vape shop on Canvey Island or South Woodham Ferrers and speak to one of us, get hands on with the products and be able to physically see the difference in person.
Happy Vaping Y’all!
