How to start using e-cigarettes?

Every year, tens of thousands of people try to quit smoking, which is harmful to their health. Most fail and quickly return to their addiction. The e-cigarette is a godsend. This small item with just as little electronics has entered our everyday life for good and is gaining more and more popularity. It serves people trying to quit smoking as well as people who like the flavors and smells of e-cigarettes. However, in order to fully enjoy them, one should, among other things, acquire knowledge about their use. How to start using e-cigarettes?

E-cigarette versus traditional cigarette

It's a good idea to start by getting to know how this device works. The e- liquid (also called a e-juice) placed in a special container is heated by a heater that is activated when the user presses the button on the housing. Heated fluid changes from liquid to volatile and turns into vapor. By putting the mouthpiece of the e-cigarette to the mouth, the user inhales the evaporated liquid, which is characterized by a harmless composition and no carcinogenic substances. The amount of smoke produced as well as the strength and intensity of the flavor depends on the type of liquid, as well as the power of the device itself.

How to start using the e-cigarette?

Using an e-cigarette should begin with understanding the most important practical issues. The steam from such a device, compared to cigarette smoke, is much less irritating and eliminates any substances hazardous to health, such as tar substances. It differs in the mechanics of movement, the way in which steam is drawn in, as well as the volume of gas in the lungs. Many heavy smokers have a huge problem with changing their usual habits. It is also often the reason for rejection of these devices and a quick return to a dangerous addiction. However, this turns out to be the wrong approach, as inhaling vapor from e-cigarettes differs significantly from inhaling smoke from traditional cigarettes.

First of all - by inhaling e-cigarettes, we force air into the lungs together with the vapor from the liquid, which does not irritate the respiratory system excessively, especially compared to cigarette smoke. This means that to achieve full satisfaction with inhalation, you must draw a much larger amount of steam. Smokers have a huge problem with this due to the muscle memory that prevents the possibility of drawing so much "smoke" into the lungs. This habit often completely removes the joy of dealing with the e-cigarette.

The second issue is the fact that before each inhalation process you should turn on the heater yourself. The heater works instantly and reaches its full power almost immediately after pressing the button by the user. It is recommended to press this button for about 0.5 seconds before sucking air from the mouthpiece, which means that it is best to click and hold it while lifting your hand with the e-cigarette. Here's a small note - the button works in zero-one mode and thus has two operating phases - on or off. Therefore, the power of the heater cannot be controlled by the pressure force. Moreover, the button needs to be held constantly. The heater therefore works only when the button is fully pressed and stops heating immediately when released. This is to protect both the device and the user.

How to inhale an e-cigarette mist?

E-cigarette vapor should be inhaled for much longer than classic cigarette smoke. Only then are we able to get the full flavor of the producer. The heater should be started by pressing the button for 0.5 seconds before putting the mouthpiece to the mouth, and then hold it until the inhalation is finished. However, you should remember about the life of the heater. Each time it is started, the time of its proper functioning is slightly shortened, which means that too intensive work will lead to premature wear. However, this shouldn't be a big problem. The heater is a consumable item and requires periodic replacement.

Many users have problems with the wrong consistency of steam, an unpleasant burned aftertaste or throat biting. This is usually a negative effect caused by the heater and can arise in many situations. Beginner vapers often snort vapor from an e-cigarette too early, even before pressing the button that activates the heater. The second problem is the opposite and consists in heating the liquid for too long, which results in a burnt taste due to - literally - burning the liquid. The heater is also often damaged, and it does not work as it should. It should then be replaced to regain its full flavor.
