Venturing more in the vaping world, which is considered relatively new and still prone to development, you will come across new inventions and ways to make the best of it and evade the previously made mistakes. Such new developments appear with time such as the nicotine salt-basede-liquid that numerous consumers are flocking to even the cigarette smoking ones. This brand-newimplementation offers the same buzz or kick for the smokers at a lower budget. In addition, the users will be able to enjoy higher nicotine level products without struggling with the effects of a rough throat hit that is usually associated with the other products.

This feeling has always been a huge turn off for smokers who are migrating to the vaping world who prefer a cigarette than a lower buzz and a rough throat hit. Let alone, the hassle that the vaping brings especially for beginners who are still going at a slow pace while the technology is constantly evolving.

To understand more the Sultanic e-liquid it’s essential to get a firm grasp at the more common product also known as “Freebase E-liquid”. In simpler words, the freebase nicotine is the one that we are familiar with and has been used by the tobacco companies since the 60s. It’s nicotine at its simplest forms when comparing it to other nicotine byproducts. This is the same method used when making as the one used by Phillip Morris in the 1960. This nicotine is much more portent and when heated and has a high absorption rate by the different body organs (lungs, brain, etc.…). This method has gained traction and popularity since it offered to the customers a higher hit and a stronger buzz than the previously available nicotine but while using the same dose by making the nicotine molecule more bioavailable to the body so it the effect out of the same dose can be maximized.

But this has changed with the appearance of the nicotine salts that had consumers flocking to it even though that the freebase way offers more potency. To go over this topic without getting lost in the chemical technical explanation, it is safe to say that the nicotine salt offers more stability and less volatility when it comes to chemicals breakdown in our bodies. The difference between the two forms gets more apparent in the vaping experience overall. With lower pH levels offer by the nicotine salt infused into the liquid, as it offers a smoother tasting and less nicotine blow back even on the body at a molecular level even when using high nicotine level saltnic E-liquids. The product also is hassle free since it comes in disposable cartridges that bypass the usual mess happening when refilling the liquid. Besides, this new approach’s bioavailability translates into a lower budget as you will eventually consume less. In addition to the fact that when the nicotine is at its purest form (salt) it oxidizes way slower and become more stable with a longer shelf life.

But it is also important to state that since the main ingredient remains to be nicotine it happens to be highly addictive when not used with moderation and without any precautions.

What you need to keep in mind before you vape?

Written by Vape Arabia Editorial Tean || 30th March 2021 || Blog |

Almost everyone is aware that smoking is bad for health. If you are someone trying to quit the habit of smoking cigarettes, but don’t know where to look, vaping might be your answer. Using an electronic cigarette or e-cig is a great option, to avoid the ill effects of smoking. It can give you the same experience and pleasure of smoking a traditional cigarette, but is not as harmful as the real thing. If you are a beginner, you need to know what an e-cigarette or vaping device consists of. Most of the devices consist of a battery and a heating element (or coil) which contain the e-liquid. This e-liquid or e-juice is usually infused, with flavours like lime, apple or peach.
Many people have a negative mindset and many misconceptions,when it comes to vaping. They are not really awareof its positive effects. So, to help you understand better, below are the top things you should keep in mind, before you start your vaping journey.

• Research suggests that vaping is safer than smoking

Traditional tobacco cigarettes contain more than 7000 chemicals, which may be toxic. In contrast, e-liquids usually only contain very few chemicals, which do not remain in the body for long period of time. In fact, studies show that vaping is almost 95% better for your health than smoking. People who switch to vaping also reported increased immunity, easier lung function and lower blood pressure.

• Vaping can help you quit your smoking habit once and for all

Many smokers, who wish to quit smoking turn to measures, such as lozenges, patches, gum, etc. But it is known that vaping is the most effective way to quit smoking once and for all. This is because vaping gives you the physical experience of inhaling and exhaling vapour, but with a cleaner and safer option. There is also the option of slowly quitting smoking over a period of time by gradually decreasing the concentration of nicotine in the e-liquid.

• E-cigarettes do not produce carcinogenic chemicals, when exhaled

Most of the vape juices only contain four main ingredients: nicotine, propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG) and flavourings. All these above-mentioned chemicals are totally safe for consumption and do not produce carcinogenic substituents. This means that vaping is much safer, especially in public places and around your family and friends.

• E-cigarette vapours do not produce obnoxious smells like tobacco smoke

Research shows that the vapour emitted when vaping can disintegrateand disappear,within seconds. In contrast, cigarette smoke can linger in the air for almost 30 minutes. This means that vaping does not cause the unpleasant smells associated with cigarette smoke. It can even be used effectively in poorly ventilated spaces.

To conclude, you may be aware of what to keep in mind before you start vaping. It is an excellent strategy to combat tobacco addiction, without compromising the smoking experience. It is also much safer, with less toxic chemicals involved. So, what are you waiting for? Start your vaping journey today!

Mistakes that beginners make when vaping

Mistakes that beginners make when vaping

Written by Vape Arabia Editorial Tean || 30th March 2021 || Blog |

Let’s be honest. We all make mistakes, especially when venturing into a new and unknown territory. The same can be said, for the people who are new to vaping. Although using e-cigs are much safer, than traditional cigarettes, it can be a lot more difficult to understand how to go about it. A lot of new smokers seem to repeatedly make some common mistakes, which I have addressed here below:

1. Buying a cheap and low-quality vaping device

Investing in a cheap vaping device may be the worst decision you take. Buying a bad quality vaping pen can lead to poor performance and battery life, decreased nicotine release and unnecessary smoke release. Hence, always make sure to spend that little extra money and get yourself a good quality vaping device.

2. Choosing the wrong concentration of nicotine

A common mistake made by new vapers is choosing too little or too much nicotine concentrations for their e-juice. The thumb of rule is, to buy vape liquids containing up to 20 mg of nicotine, if you are a heavy smokerand 3 mg if you are a light smoker. In case you are not a tobacco cigarette smoker, then you can even use e-liquids, which contain no nicotine.

3. Not priming the coil

This is one of the common mistakes a beginner does. If the coil is not primed, it can cause burns and leaves you with an unpleasant feeling. It is also important to do this, in order to make your coil last longer. But how exactly do you prime the coil? This is done by applying a few drops of the e-liquid, before you begin to vape.

4. Not drinking enough water

A huge problem with vaping is that it can cause dehydration, due to water loss from the body. A vast majority of vapers do not hydrate themselves regularly, thus leading to dehydration. Therefore, always remember to keep your water intake high throughout the day.

5. Carrying your e-cigarette in your pocket

Popping your vaping pen into your pocket may cause the tank to leak or the device being turned on accidentally. This can cause the coil to overheat and spark. Now, we don’t want to start a fire in our pocket, do we? Thus, it is highly recommended to use special pouches to store and transport your vaping pen. Similarly, never keep your device along with metal objects, like keys or coins, as this can lead to short-circuits and possible explosions.

6. Vaping anywhere in public

Just because a certain public area is a ‘no smoking allowed’ zone, it does not necessarily mean that vaping is allowed there. If you fire up your vaping pen in public where you are not supposed to smoke, there is a chance you will be punished. Always be well-informed as to the permissible areas where you can vape.

I am confident that after going through the above pointers, you are well prepared to start your vaping journey, with no hiccups. Happy vaping!

How to choose the right vape juice?

Written by Vape Arabia Editorial Tean || 30th March 2021 || Blog |

If you are new to the vaping scene and trying to choose the best e-juice, you might be overwhelmed at all the different options you come across. What is more important: the flavour or nicotine strength? Can I blend two flavours or should I stick to only one? And what is the difference between VG and PG? All these questions can confuse a novice vaper. So, below are a list of things you have to keep in mind before choosing the best e-liquid for your e-cig.

Choosing the correct nicotine concentration

A new vaper might be confused how to choose the correct nicotine level for them. This is crucial as too less nicotine may not give the pleasurable effect for a smoker, while too much nicotine can cause headaches and nausea. The general rule is that if you are a heavy cigarette smoker, you will need to choose the strongest e-juice, which usually contains 18 mg of nicotine. On the other hand, if you are a light smoker, a milder vaping juice of 12 mg nicotine would be sufficient. Many smokers, who are trying to quit smoking usually start off with higher nicotine levelsand gradually cut down over time.

So many flavours to choose from!

Flavour is extremely important when choosing an e-liquid. If you don’t like the flavour, it might put you off vaping completely. Luckily, e-liquids come in a variety of flavours, to suit every person’s preference such as cocktails, fruity, food and tobacco blends. If you are a new vaper, it is recommended to start out with flavours that closely match your favourite cigarette brand. Over time, get more adventurous and experiment with unique food and fruity flavours, such as grape, watermelon, candy or even pizza! For the more experienced vapers, you can also mix different flavours to get unique cocktail combinations.

Do not forget the VG/PG ratio

VG (vegetable glycerine) and PG (propylene glycol) are two important compounds, which form the foundation for almost all vape juices. Choosing the right proportions of these compounds, can either make or break your whole vaping experience. Many users find PG to have an intense flavourand hence prefer to use it in smaller quantities. A few users have also reported that PG causes dry mouth. On the other hand, VG usually has a sweet or fruity flavour. Some users report throat tingling with VG. To get the right VG/PG ratio will take a bit of a trial and error. For a new vaper, it is recommended to start with a 50/50 ratio and adjust the quantities according to your needs later.

Keeping all the above-mentioned points in mind, go ahead and find the perfect vape juice for yourself. You will need to do a bit of experimenting, with the different flavours, nicotine content and VG/PG ratio. This trial-and-error method is definitely part of the fun of your whole vaping experience. Also, always make sure to invest in good quality e-liquids, from established manufacturers, as the cheaper ones may contain dangerous chemicals.

How to avoid vapers tongue?

Written by Vape Arabia Editorial Tean || 30th March 2021 || Blog |

Have you been vaping and you suddenly feel like the taste has changed? Or even worse, that you cannot taste anything anymore? Many people tend to panic when this happens. But do not worry. This happens to the best of us and is common among vapers. It is called vapers tongue – a condition, where the vaper’s tongue loses the ability to taste the e-juice temporarily and unexpectedly. Many users describe the feeling as a thick coating on their tongue and an inability to taste anything. It can be caused by various factors, namely dehydration, damaged taste buds, dry mouth, cold, stuffy nose, or flu. The good news is that vapers tongue is completely preventable. You can avoid it using the following tips below:

• Keep yourself hydrated

Since dehydration is one of the main causes of vapers tongue, it is important to constantly drink water throughout the day, to keep yourself hydrated. Increasing water consumption is not only beneficial to your overall health but can also help your tongue register the e-liquid flavors better.

• Mix it up with different flavors

Using a single flavor in your e-cig for a long time can cause ‘sensory adaptation’, where your taste buds will not be able to pick up the different flavor notes. A solution to this is to mix and add different flavors so that your tongue can relish unique combinations. Adding flavors, such as menthol or fruit will be refreshing and help prevent you from developing a vaper’s tongue.

• Clear up your stuffed nose

Believe it or not, but your nose and sense of smell are directly linked to your taste. If your nose is blocked due to cold, flu, or allergies, you will not be able to smell properly and hence, will not be able to taste the vape juice. Clearing up your stuffed nose using nasal drops is a fast and effective method to get back your sense of taste and smell and avoid vapers tongue.

• Have good oral hygiene

Poor oral hygiene will impact your tasting ability and produce a bad taste in your mouth. Vapers have reported that brushing their teeth regularly, using a tongue scraper and floss helps them prevent vapers tongue and enjoy the e-juice flavor more. Therefore, taking care of your oral hygiene is of utmost importance.

• Cut down on your alcohol and caffeine consumption

Drinks containing alcohol and caffeine can dehydrate and dry up your mouth. This can further damage your taste buds and lead to vapers tongue. Hence, it is advisable to reduce your coffee and alcohol intake.

• Take a break

Finally, if all the above techniques fail, it might be a sign your body is telling you to slow down. Take a break from vaping and leave your taste buds alone, until they heal themselves. As long as you avoid irritating them, your tongue should be perfectly fine within a week or two. In addition, try to avoid smoking, vaping, spicy foods, and acidic drinks, until your taste buds have gotten time to heal and recover completely.

Etiquettes to follow when vaping

Written by Vape Arabia Editorial Tean || 30th March 2021 || Blog |

More and more people are joining the vapers club nowadays. If you are new to vaping, you might not necessarily know when to vape or where it is even allowed. People’s perception of e-cigarettes differs greatly. Some consider it to be the same as smoking a tobacco cigarette, while others think that it is not as harmful. Whatever the case is, there are some unspoken rules which exist, related to vaping and its etiquettes. This article will give you an idea about these rules and how to be considerate when firing up your e-cig in public next time.

• Vaping in public – to do or not to do

Can you vape in places where smoking is prohibited? Do smoking and vaping follow the same rules? Many people are confused about this. It is true that ‘Vaping not allowed’ signs are not as commonly displayed as ‘Smoking not allowed’ signs in public places, which leads to this sort of confusion. The best thing you can do in such cases is to simply ask. Ask permission before you vape, especially in places like offices, restaurants, business establishments, etc. If they agree, then go ahead and enjoy your smoke. But if they don’t, act responsibly and be respectful of the rules.

• Blowing vapor clouds into someone’s face

If you are vaping, make sure to not exhale your vapor clouds into someone’s face. It is really irritating for the other person, even if they might be a vaper like you. The best thing to do is blow out into an empty space.

• Do not attack smokers

Some vapers, who have switched from cigarettes to e-cigs feel they are better and have a tendency to look down and criticize smokers. Please never do this. Remember that everyone is on their own smoking/vaping journey and they have the right to make their own choices.

• Keep your flavors simple

Everyone hates the unpleasant odor of tobacco cigarettes. Bubble-gum or mint-flavored e-juice vapors are considered to be good flavors, but finally, in the end, it’s your choice.

• Eating and vaping at the same time

Some people believe that one should not vape and eat at the same time, especially at restaurants and cafes. This may cause the food odors to mix with the e-liquid smell, creating a potentially unfavorable odor. Also, there is a chance you may irritate other diners and waiters, with clouds of smoke.

• Do not vape near children

This is common sense that smoking or vaping around your kids is not a good practice. Also, some governments ban you from exposing children to the chemicals present in e-liquids. So, avoid this at all costs, to evade getting in trouble with the law.
Lastly, be well-informed and educate yourself about the various etiquette when vaping. Different countries may have different rules regarding this issue, so make sure to do your research and adhere to the country’s laws. Taking others into consideration, before you light up your e-cig, can make your vaping experience enjoyable and hassle-free for everyone.
