All you need to know about vaping and how to start

There’s a widespread belief that vaping is unsafe and similar to smoking cigarettes. It is a false assumption we frequently encounter, and we’ve determined to outline precisely how you and your family members can be safe while you smoke vape. Much of the information we provide in this article is available on our website. However, we thought it would be great to collect all these tips and put them together in one place, making learning and understanding more straightforward. You could use many steps and precautions to ensure your safety when smoking a vape, and many of them might be familiar to you. If not, don’t worry! There’s nothing wrong with not knowing. All that is important is that you are concerned about the safety and security of those around you. Let’s dissect it.

Self-Care

Before you begin smoking, it’s an excellent idea to first think about your needs. Nicotine can cause dry mouth and dizziness if taken in excess. Vaping is a method of smoking that requires no to small amounts of nicotine. Don’t take a vape if you’re not relaxed or feel you cannot take a deep breath before beginning. Although, vaping can be taken as you want as it will not harm you.

Hygiene & discipline

It’s always beneficial to think about the location and method of vaping in the presence of others. Many new vapers aren’t aware of what they can vape. Similarly, most supervisors believe that if one person is vaping, the entire area is likely to do so, and the best part is it won’t harm any of them and won’t affect their health.

Battery & Coil Care

The most crucial aspect of vaping is the maintenance of your battery. The device you use for vaping is unlike any other piece of technology that you may have at home as well. And, like other devices, it’s almost always the battery with the highest chance of causing volatility. The battery you have has the highest possibility of going wrong, so you must ensure that you take care of them.

It’s also a good idea to look after your coils. They can go out due to many reasons, but if you follow simple guidelines, you’ll keep an inch ahead. Check that you prime your coils before use. When you replace one coil and then refill the tank with e-liquid, allow it to sit for 10 minutes before using it to let the liquid absorb into the wicking material. Make sure you have your settings checked and sure that your device functions in the right way. The higher your electronic cigarette’s wattage, the more vapour you produce and the greater amount of juice you’ll use. Vaping constantly at a high power level will make your coil struggle, so ensure it’s set correctly. 

The best part is you can be assured of the quality and reliability of the products when you buy them from iBreathe.

Storage and Use

Storage is also an important aspect that could affect your vaping experience and the security of your equipment and other devices. It’s an easy task that typically requires some common wisdom.

Your device(s) is likely to be made from various materials that react to specific elements of the environment in different ways. Therefore, it’s recommended to protect your device at all times. Don’t leave your device exposed to direct sunlight. It can cause the components of the device to get hotter or melt. 

Furthermore, we suggest not utilizing a device when you suspect that for any reason. We suggest you allow your device to cool before using it again. If you discover that your device doesn’t perform as it should, we suggest taking it apart and identifying the components that are no longer working to replace them with fresh ones. 

This is the reason people love the products from iBreathe as they don’t have to worry about all these things because our products are tested, and quality checked. So, what are you waiting for choose from our wide range of collection and get started with the safest and flavourful vapes available!

How to choose the correct E-Liquid: A complete guide

How to choose the correct E-Liquid: A complete guide

Are you looking for E-Liquid? It is the most essential element of the vaping experience if you’ve got a good device, and freshly smouldering coils, and you’re eager to conquer the juice aspect. We understand that searching for the top vape juice can be enjoyable but it can also be a daunting experience too. With the variety of flavours that are available, it’s easy to become confused and even frustrating. We’ve created a guide to assist you in the process of selecting the best e-liquid.

What’s in E-Liquid?

The E-liquid (or vape juice) is composed of three (sometimes three or four) ingredients. Propylene glycol (or PG for short) as well as Glycerine from vegetable (VG) flavouring, and, if you prefer it, nicotine. Each ingredient plays a vital role in the vaping experience.

The PG liquid is odourless and is used to enhance the flavour of the vape juice. Since it’s a lighter consistency than VG it’s much easier to vaporise too. It’s often used in ice creams and food enhancers to achieve the same goal in order to give the best flavour. It’s a thick, sweet liquid that is designed to aid in vapour production. It’s easier to inhale. The use of VG can be found in many different ways including soap, caramel and toothpaste.

The flavourings are extremely diverse and there’s an enormous variety of flavour combinations that you can experiment with including desserts, fruits, tobacco to menthol. It’s designed to provide you with an enjoyable vaping experience.

The last substance is nicotine. This is a toxic ingredient found in cigarettes. It is possible to get e-liquid with no nicotine if you’re using it for the pure pleasure of vaping, but most those who are making the transition from smoking cigarettes to vaping prefer nicotine. Its strength contained on the bottle is the amount of nicotine you can get for 1 ml of juice.

What Nicotine Concentration Should I Pick?

When it comes to choosing Nicotine Strength, it really depends on How Much You Smoked.

Social smokers (who smoke less than once each week) are advised to choose an option with a lower nicotine level such as 3mg. This is typically the final option for those who have stopped smoking cigarettes and don’t require a lot of a high anymore. There is also a zero mg juice if you love the experience of vaping, but don’t feel a need to satisfy.

For the lighter smoker, someone who is under ten cigarettes per day, we suggest the strength of 6 mg. It is at the lower end of the spectrum and is suitable for those who love vaping, but still require some nitric buzz.

A typical smoker who smokes at least a pack a day is advised to use an e liquid with 12 mg of nicotine which is the ideal way to begin your regular smoking habit since it will help you switch to the amount that you get with regular cigarettes.

For the most serious smokers (more than one pack a day) you should opt for the highest strength at 18mg and even 24. This is recommended for those with an intense habit that require an extremely high dose in order to experience the right satisfaction from smoking.

It’s crucial to choose the right amount of nicotine so that when you’re using your vape to aid in quitting smoking, you’ll get enough nicotine to satisfy the cravings.

How Do I Choose An E-Liquid Flavour?

The choice of e-liquid flavour is a matter of your personal preferences as there are various flavours to pick from iBreathe online store. The traditional approach for vapers was to start with a menthol or tobacco liquid if they were coming from smoking cigarettes, so the flavour and feel are more familiar. However, increasing numbers of people are beginning with an e-liquid that is fruity or dessert-like instead. Visit one of our vape shops where you’ll have the chance to try several flavours – the most important thing to do is find something you truly like and prefer to the traditional flavour of cigarettes. Once you’re more comfortable, you’ll be able to create your own recipes and mix several juices to create your own unique combinations.

There are plenty of cheap options available in the 10ml bottles and you are able to try several at home. When you have found your favourites then you can purchase the short refill (a larger bottle that contains 0mg nicotine, which mixes with a nic shot to get your preferred strength) to save cash.

What’s the best way to make the blend of Pg/Vg Function? Which Blend Should I Pick?

As we’ve mentioned in the previous paragraph, the PG is used to transport flavour and the VG is the one that produces clouds. The type of blend you’ll need to choose is based on two aspects: the flavour you’re after and the kit you’re using. If you’re looking for a sensation like smoking but with a greater throat hit, greater flavour and less vapour, you’ll need to select something that resembles the 50:50 blends. The type of vape it works well with is a standard kit that has a coil of 1 ohm or more.

If you’re planning to create clouds big enough to completely block out a solar eclipse or a milder throat hit and not as obsessed with strong flavours it is recommended to increase to a higher VG content. Choose a ratio of 70VG:30PG and higher (80:20 is also very popular, though you could go all the way to 100 percent VG). Since VG is heavier and, therefore, less able to vaporise it requires a stronger vape. Vaping sub-ohm which means that the coils in the vape kit are equipped with an ohm resistance that is less than one. This will produce huge clouds and power.

What Should I Consider When Choosing A Kit That Is Suitable For the Strength and Ratio I Want?

Referring to the VG/PG ratio, what amount of VG determines the strength of vape that you’ll require. If you’re just starting out and want to get started, we recommend a 50:50 ratio between VG and PG when using a vape pen or pod starting kit. They’re easy to use, and when you’ve gained experience, you can test several different combinations to determine which one works best for you. If you’re looking for a nicotine level, you’ll need the simplest kit to ensure you don’t get excessive amounts of nicotine in one single hit.

If, following a couple of experiences you are looking for a less pronounced throat hit and prefer making the room a vapour-filled space it is recommended to take a look at a sub-ohm vape kit with an increased VG liquid. Because VG is a heavier liquid than PG, you’ll need an even more powerful vape in order to create the cloud you’re looking for.

How does E-Liquid break down when I vape it?

It is an aerosol not steam, and when it is properly used, it breaks in water (the vapour that you breathe out) as well as CO2 (which you breathe out in the normal way to breathe). Based on the mode you are using your vape the vapour can be cool or slightly warm, but it’s never hot, like smoke from cigarettes.

The Activation Game / The Art of activation

The Activation Game

A year ago – remember what was happening about a year ago? – we decided that we’d take
a different route when it came to creating and launching a new Nicotine Replacement
product to the market. And it had to be different in many ways.

Different in its name, different in its design, and different in the way we took it to market.
In a nutshell that’s how Xero was born. A contemporary, fully loaded – and fully disposable
– vape pod system created to offer smokers an easier, simpler and stress-free alternative to
the current smoking cessation choices out there. But there are plenty of choices out there
for smokers who are looking to start stopping. That’s why it’s more that just a great product
that’s needed, it’s a great POS and display system that’s needed too. A system that retailers
and distributors look at and think ‘You know what, this will sell!’

We knew potential customers would like and buy Xero, we just needed retailers to ‘buy in’
to Xero. Buy in to the concept, the design, the USP and of course, the bottom line.
We like to call it the snowball scenario. Firstly create a test market in a few areas around the
UK. These were to be the very first UK retailers to try out the Xero Experience.

We know how important – and expensive – a retail footprint is in all shapes and sizes of stores. That’s
why we created a super-powerful POS design system that required tiny countertop spaces
to do it’s work. Combined with the offer of compact CDU designs that offered even more
impact and stand out in an already crowded display space. Retailers now had real choices, a
beautiful yet functional product AND product display, marketing materials and assets that
not only sold Xero to them, it also sold it to their customers.

The test worked. From week 1 to week 10 the word spread. Sales were on the up, and at a
pretty impressive trajectory. Retailers wanted ‘in’ on Xero and most importantly they also
wanted ‘in’ on iBreathe. The site activation numbers speak for themselves. Week on week,
more and more retailers across the UK were now requesting and selling Xero and iBreathe
products. All through one brilliant idea at the start of lockdown 2020.

And the ‘snowball’ reference? How’s this: Week 1 and 2 in February 60, new store
installations and activations. Week 3 in February, 100 new activations. Week 4? 160 new
activations. And the trend is continuing. We’re now almost at the end of March and
currently on target to activate 180 retailers.

Different doesn’t have to be a risk does it? Xero is different. iBreathe is different. And the
big difference, an amazing bottom line and a rise in sales (and you know what that means!)
that wasn’t in anyone’s pandemic plan. Want to join us? It’s Easy, it’s iBreathe! Find out
