The Impact of Vaping on Lung Health: What You Need to Know

Vaping is often hailed as better than smoking. But one thing we hear many new users and long term vapers alike ask is, “what does it really do to your lungs?”

The answer isn’t as simple as “good” or “bad”. Like many things, it largely depends on how, what and how much you use!

What Is Actually Going Into Your Lungs?

Unlike cigarettes, your vape devices don’t actually burn tobacco. Instead of combustion they create an aerosol by heating up the e-liquid, which spares users the cancer causing by-products of cigarette combustion like tar, and carbon monoxide.

That doesn’t mean vaping comes without risk. The aerosol still includes flavourings, nicotine, and other compounds that can effect the state of a person’s respiratory system in careless and heavy users.

Aerosol Effects On The Lungs

Often, for most users (notably beginners) the first symptoms to emerge are comparatively mild:

• Throat irritation
• Dryness in the airways
• Some coughings

These symptoms are often tied to nic level, strength of the flavouring, or just how much of a ‘puffah’ someone is. A simple switch down to a lower nic level, or a smooth device instantly resolves them.

Devices that heat in a stable manner (mesh coil designs for example), tend to produce an aura very consistently; often found to be less punishing than vapour that hasn’t evened out

Long-Term Usage

While we wait on studies on the long term effects of vaping, a couple of things that jump out:

• Frequent exposure to vapor may inflame the airways at some point
• Frequent usage over time may dull the sensitivity of the lungs
• Poor quality disposables or liquids may create more room for damage to occur

Because of this, quality is more important than a lot of users realise. Having a quality, reliably hitting disposable with decent airflow and materials can make a world of difference to just how nice your overall experience is.

A Sensible Approach to Vaping Vs Smoking

Many adult users try to save themselves from smoking cigarettes. While no doubt exposing users to less of these toxic chemicals when compared to cigarettes, it is by no means risk free.

For smokers whom are attacking the cigarettes, vaping will expose users to less of these toxic substances, but for non smokers that learn how to vape – thinking that vaping is “better” than cigarettes, is a dangerous train of thought.

How to minimize the risk of complaints from your lungs

If you are intent on vaping, there are sensible measures you could take to lessen the exposure of your lungs and the strain on your throat:

• Choose a ‘milder’ nicotine strength
• Try to avoid chain vaping (puffing continuously without giving your lungs time to ease for a moment or two)
• Drink loads of water to dilute the dry air exposure
• Use a proper builder and device!
• Make sure to listen to signals from your body such as persistent coughing

What to know about exactly how addicted you are to a disposable

Understanding how much you as an individual vapourized a disposable vape at one time is important to do. A disposable vape designed to hit daily, in steady amounts, is going to act a lot differently from a complicated vape designed to hit once for an hour on the weekend. Those are different electrics.

Why you should choose a device wisely

Not all disposable vapes are built the same, and so many differing characteristics come into play when it comes to how smooth the vapour is, how irritating it is to your lungs.

For instance:

• A higher puff count disposable (probably over 10000 puffs) often has a more stable output for the use.
• Rechargeable disposables do not drop in power and strength towards the end of the device’s life.
• Lower and more balanced flavour formulations lessen the chance of your throat being irritated vs an extremely strong artificial flavour disposable.

All these various little things together are way different from using one flavour/inhalation to another, wherein one could irritate your town etc.

In Conclusion

Vaping sits in a bit of a grey area. It’s neither a cigarette, but also not without consequences. The major differences between lighting up a stick and utilizing a puff bar comes down to responsible usage of each, and the quality of products involved.

For users that enjoy it to be a smooth experience, seeking appropriate products that hit reliably is the way to go. Also moderate usage of the vape, and controllable nicotine levels goes some to ensuring a pleasant lightly hit experience.

If you are on the, lookout for something a big of a step up from the standard rubbish disposables to enjoy better performance in a disposable, keep an eye out for a product that has quality and real customer feedback behind them and not neccessarily priced or ‘trending’ items. You’ll enjoy them a lot more, and your lungs will thank you for it in the long run.
