How to switch from smoking to vaping

More and more long-time smokers want to switch from tobacco consumption to vaping and are naturally wondering what they need to consider when choosing a device and the right liquid. The initial phase of the transition proves to be particularly critical, and if the new vaper doesn’t have a reliable device at hand and a liquid in the tank that they enjoy and that provides the ideal nicotine saturation, the transition from smoking to vaping is doomed in most cases to failure. In this article, we would like to offer all those switching over practical tips that will help them truly succeed in quitting smoking.

Away from cigarettes, into the beautiful world of vaping

Any smoker who has ever tried to overcome their nicotine addiction without help and failed will surely be familiar with the irresistible craving for another cigarette. This craving can be easily overcome without relapsing after quitting smoking. Vaping provides the body with the nicotine it craves, largely eliminating the craving for a cigarette. Furthermore, former smokers can continue a similar vaping ritual to the one they have maintained for many years with their tobacco consumption. Modern e-cigarettes and high-quality liquids offer a perfect vaping experience and saturate the body with a sufficient amount of nicotine with every puff. And all this without the harmful additives found in tobacco smoke.

When you have a choice, it’s difficult – which is the right steam device for me?

The vaping market offers a variety of different battery carriers , vaporizers , and combination devices, but not all of them are suitable for beginners. First and foremost, it is important for beginners to choose an easy-to-use and reliable device that does not require extensive settings or maintenance. First and foremost, the various pod system vapes and starter sets should be mentioned in this context, as all of these devices have proven to be extremely beginner-friendly and reliable. Basically, most of these devices are designed for what is known as the cheek draw, which is the right choice for those switching over. With these devices, the vapor is first drawn into the mouth and then inhaled into the lungs. With the right device, this drawing technique is very similar to smoking a cigarette. Professionals also refer to this drawing technique as MTL (mouth-to-lung). In contrast, there are also many devices that vape directly to the lung (DL). These high-performance devices are not recommended for beginners. To summarize briefly: The ideal entry-level device should not offer excessive technical features and should be easy to handle. Furthermore, it’s important that the device is specifically designed for beginners with a cheek draw to achieve a smoke-like result.

The right liquid for switching from smoking to vaping

To select the right liquid for switching from smoking to vaping, new vapers must first consider their tobacco consumption. This will help them easily determine which nicotine concentration in the liquid is best for them. Light smokers can try a liquid containing 6 to 9 mg of nicotine. However, heavy smokers are recommended to use a higher nicotine concentration of 18 to 20 mg. Recently, special nicotine shots and liquids containing so-called nicotine salt have proven effective for high nicotine concentrations . The nicotine in these products is bound to a special salt matrix, meaning even high nicotine concentrations don’t cause any throat irritation. These nicotine salt shots and liquids are specifically designed for MTL vaping and are the best choice for switching from smoking to vaping. Last but not least, of course, is finding the right flavor for the liquid. Experience has shown that many former smokers first try out various tobacco liquids when switching from smoking to vaping, and over time, they become aware of the wonderful and unique variety of flavors available when vaping. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to make a general recommendation regarding the ideal flavor, as every vaper prefers different flavors. From fruity to sweet to bitter, the vaping market today offers every imaginable flavor. But with a good tobacco liquid with the right nicotine concentration, the vaping beginner has already found the perfect foundation for a successful and lasting transition from smoking to vaping.
