How to Make the Switch from Smoking to Vaping with Ease
If you’re switching from smoking to vaping, the biggest mistake you can make is assuming it’s as simple as switching one for the other. It’s not. The ones who succeed switch not just nicotine but also habit, rhythm and satisfaction.
How to Switch from Cigarettes to Vaping in Style
Most people who smoke don’t aspire to be a ‘vaper, they just want to stop lighting cigarettes and manage without losing their minds. Vaping can do that—but only if you set it up pretty much right from the start.
Choose the right product (this matters more than you think)
A lot of part time or first time users fail because they get the wrong product. If the experience is weak, patchy or inconsistent, you’ll go back to cigarettes. Disposable vapes or simple rechargeables disposable vape devices are generally the easiest choice for new users—especially if you smoke a lot of cigs—no setting up, no cleaning, just open and use.
Look for:
- High puff count (5000 puff, 10000 puff or even 15000 puffs vape options)
- Stable battery (around 650mAh or higher)
- Mesh/coils for smoother, stronger flavour
- Type-C chargeable vape for no faff
If you like it from the first hit you’re already halfway there.
Choose the right level of nicotine
This is where a lot of people go wrong.
If your nicotine’s too low your vape experience will feel ‘hollow’, and you’ll still crave the cigs.Too high and it will be too uncomfortable. With that under our belts, let’s take a look at some ‘vaping hack’ tips to help you when switching from smoking the cigs.
A rough guide:
- Light = low nicotine vape
- Medium = medium strength
- Heavy = higher nicotine disposable vape
You’re not looking to cut out nicotine straight away, you want to replace cigarettes first. You can cut back later.
Find a flavour that works for you
Not everyone starts off on a tobacco flavour vape. Some do, but many of the most successful switchers very quickly move off tobacco.
Try starting with popular flavours like:
- Mango ice vape
- Blueberry ice vape
- Mixed berry vape
- Mint vape flavour
Skimpy on the flavour? Not on your nelly: Satisfaction: that’s the secret – feeling and feeding your urge to vape. A strong flavour disposable probably works much better than a vapey subtle one, at least then early days of breaking up. Find something fruity and sweet!
Understand the habit side-how and when you smoke
It’s not just nicotine, there’s timing:
- After meals.
- During lunch.
- During breaks.
- When driving.
- At the first sense of stress.
Don’t try to lose these straightaway. Replace them.
Have your vape at hand and use it when you would go for a cigarette.That way it feels more natural rather than forced and silly.
Prepare yourself for brief “it’s different out here” transition
First few days can seem different and that’s fine.
Common questions and sights you’ll make:
- “Why isn’t my vape hitting?” Hint! May be battery issue or airflow based.
- “Why does my vape taste of burnt?” Hint! You may have drawn the liquid down too low or just too much of it.
- “How long does a disposable vape last?” 2 answers. ‘Depends how many puffs’ ‘Depends how often you’re vaping’
Don’t run off panicking that vaping “doesn’t work”. Most problems relate to your device or how you’re using it, not with switching itself.
Rechargeable vs non-rechargeable – which to get?
If serious about switching and not mucking around rechargeable disposable vape devices are the right choice for you.
Give much more life to you, a better or more constant performance and cut down on that awful frustrated feel of having a dead battery but e-liquid still there.
Compare, compare and before you buy – confirm
A lot base each kind against each other such as:
- Smoking Bloom vs Elfbar
- Smoking Bloom vs Lost Mary
This is smart, because not all are made equal and you want to be sure you’re picking one that can cater for you right from the start: Look for..
- Consistency with flavours
- Stability with battery
- Smoothness of draw
You want a smooth vaperrfriendly vape kit that makes quitting the stinkies that much easier.
Not about perfection. Progress, moving forward
Some quit cigarettes straight away. Others come sneaking breathlessly from behind for a “fair” finishing line.
Both are cool.
Make sure you do this though:
- You smoke fewer of them as time goes by
- You depend on vaping, not cigarettes, more and more
Sustain that consistency and swap begins to occur naturally. Moving from smoking to vaping is fairly easy once you get the knowledge right. You need the right kit, of course. Get the right nicotine level and a vapertasting liquid you enjoy and back to work, you’ll get a load more help from the process than you will all the bloody “willpower” in your pinky finger.And if you set this up just right? Simply wont feel you are “giving” up anything. Just like quitting after a while, simply no longer need cigarettes.
