WHAT IS VAPING? EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT VAPING IN CANADA

There’s definitely a unique technique to vaping. If you have recently taken up vaping, you may start by taking smaller, shorter, faster puffs with at least a 20 second internal in order to get used to the sensation of vaping. These will be more diluted with air and therefore give you a smoother experience.

There are two main things you should avoid.

Don’t chain vape. This is probably the most common cause of burnt hits, especially for new vapers. When taking lots of puffs in a row, your wick doesn’t have enough time to soak up the e-liquid, causing it to dry out and burn. If you start noticing a slightly burnt taste when you inhale or if you can feel the tank overheating, put your vape pen down for a moment to give the wick time to absorb more e-liquid.

Don’t leave your device in the sun. There's no problem with a little bit of sunshine, but we don’t recommend that you leave a fully-charged battery lying in the hot sun. In general, it's best to avoid leaving your vape near any source of heat – whether it's charged or not. This is because high temperatures reduce the life of lithium-ion batteries, and they operate best at room temperature, which is between 20 and 25°C.

In Canada, the laws on where you can vape are different for each province so it’s always best to check your provincial and municipal guidelines. You’ll almost certainly find that all public spaces – from restaurants and offices, to train platforms and bus stops – have their own policies about vaping. Similarly, some people don’t mind you vaping in their house, while others would rather you didn’t vape in their car. The best advice we can offer is to always check what the vaping policy is wherever you are.

Vapour is vaporized e-liquid – which basically means e-liquid gently heated to form a cloud of tiny droplets suspended in air (just like water turns to steam). This is done by a small heating element in the vaping device called an atomizer. Vuse e-liquids are made mainly from a combination of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG) and traces of water. Some of our e-liquids also contain nicotine and flavourings, depending which one you choose.
