Vaping is the act of inhaling and exhaling vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device. These devices heat a liquid, known as vape juice or e-liquid, to create vapor that users inhale.
E-liquid, also known as vape juice or e-juice, is the fluid used in electronic cigarettes and vaping devices. It typically consists of a combination of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), flavorings, and nicotine (optional). E-liquid comes in a wide variety of flavors and nicotine strengths to suit individual preferences. Users fill their vaping device’s tank or cartridge with e-liquid, which is then heated by the device’s coil to produce vapor for inhalation.
While vaping is generally considered 95% less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes, it is not without risks. It’s important to note that vaping products contain nicotine, which is addictive. Additionally, there are potential health risks associated with inhaling vapourised substances. We recommend consulting with a healthcare professional if you have concerns about vaping.
Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG) are two primary ingredients in vape juice. PG provides a stronger throat hit and thinner vapour clouds, while VG produces more flavour and thicker vapor clouds. The ratio of PG to VG can affect the vaping experience, so experiment to find what works best for you.
E-liquid leakage can occur due to various factors, including overfilling the tank, improper coil installation, or damaged O-rings. To prevent leakage, ensure that all components are properly assembled, avoid overfilling the tank, and periodically check for wear and tear on seals and O-rings. Sometimes leaking can be down to a faulty coil which unfortunately can’t be tested before, and is classed as a consumable item.
The lifespan of a vaping coil varies depending on factors such as usage frequency, vape juice composition, and vaping habits. On average, coils may last anywhere from one to four weeks. Signs that indicate it’s time to replace your coil include a burnt taste, decreased vapor production, and leakage.
Ohm (Ω) is a unit of electrical resistance. In vaping, it refers to the resistance of the coil in your device. Lower resistance coils (measured in ohms) produce warmer vapor and more intense flavor, while higher resistance coils provide cooler vapor and may conserve battery life. Understanding ohms can help you tailor your vaping experience to your preferences.
Selecting the right vape juice depends on your personal preferences and needs. Consider factors such as flavor, nicotine strength, PG/VG ratio, and any specific dietary requirements. Our wide range of vape juices offers something for every palate and preference.

In the UK, you must be at least 18 years old to purchase vape products both in-store and online. Age verification measures are in place to ensure compliance with legal requirements and prevent underage access to vaping products. Proof of age may be required at the point of purchase, whether online or in-person.
Vaping is intended for current smokers or former smokers looking for an alternative to traditional cigarettes. It is not recommended for non-smokers, especially young individuals and non-smoking pregnant women, due to the addictive nature of nicotine and potential health risks.
For many people, vaping can be more cost-effective than smoking traditional cigarettes in the long run. While the initial investment in vaping devices and accessories may be higher, ongoing costs such as vape juice and coils are typically lower than purchasing cigarettes. However, individual spending habits and vaping preferences may vary.
Vaping regulations vary depending on the location. In the UK, vaping indoors is generally allowed in private residences and designated vaping areas. However, it’s important to respect the rules of establishments and public spaces, as some may have specific policies against vaping indoors.
Yes, vaping in the UK is regulated under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR). These regulations govern aspects such as product safety, packaging, labeling, and advertising. Vape products must comply with these regulations to be legally sold in the UK.
Mouth to lung is like a puff of a cigarette, inhale, take back (tend to be lower in wattage power and higher in nicotine). Direct to lung is inhale straight to the lungs then exhale (tend to be higher in wattage power and lower in nicotine).
Choosing the right vaping product depends on factors such as your smoking habits, nicotine preferences, vaping experience level, and budget. Consider factors such as device type (e.g., pod system, vape pen, mod), nicotine strength, battery life, and ease of use. Our knowledgeable staff can also provide personalized recommendations based on your needs and preferences.
‘Popcorn lung,’ or bronchiolitis obliterans, is a serious respiratory condition associated with inhalation of certain chemicals, such as diacetyl. While diacetyl was once used as a flavoring agent in some e-liquids, reputable manufacturers have since removed it from their products due to health concerns. The risk of developing popcorn lung from vaping is extremely low, especially when using e-liquids from reputable sources that adhere to safety standards and avoid harmful additives.
All Mods and Vapes we sell are regulated, which means if the coil can’t be read by the device they will stop working and show the “check atomiser error”. Unregulated mods don’t have this safety feature. Some Mods require external batteries like the 18650 or the 21700. These batteries if care is not taken of the condition, or if placed in bags, trouser pockets etc without the correct case can explode in extreme cases.
Disposibles are a great way to find out if you can change to vaping from smoking. However they work out more expensive in the long run compared to refillable vape kits. Please bare in mind most if not all disposibles are 2% which is 20mg nicotine, the highest stength you can legallly buy in the UK. All e-liquids for kits range from 5mg – (0.5%), 10mg – (1%) and 20mg – (2%).
First off they have been designed to sell in other countries that don’t have regulations like the UK with 2% (20mg) being the highst level of nicotine available on sale. Some illegal vapes are 3% (30mg) and 5% (50mg). Any disposible over 600 puffs means it as a tank over 2ml which is also illegal in the UK. Tanks with over 2ml have been known for their coil to break down meaning that you coulkd be inhaling harmful metals which have also been known a known problem with illegal disposibles. Side effect from these illegal disposibles can range from chest pains, nose bleeds, head aches, and the most serious coughing up blood. Immediately stop using your disposible if you’re experiencing any of the above side effects.
