Vaping is an activity that has a huge impact in today's society. The number of people using vapes to quit smoking is increasing rapidly. It can be seen that electronic cigarettes are recognized as safer when compared to regular cigarettes and that is the reason why vaping is becoming more and more popular. However, vaping is not only a substitute for cigarettes, but also has interesting facts.
When did vape appear?
Contrary to what many of us think, vaping was “born” about 5 decades ago (1960 to be exact). Back then, vapes were not what they are today – that is, vaporizers back then were not as pocket-friendly as the modern version. They were quite bulky and could only be kept on a table.
The genius behind the device is Hon Lik, a Chinese pharmacist inspired by his father’s death from lung cancer. He called the device Ruyan, which roughly translates to “like smoke.”
Ruyan became popular, and gradually took over the US market in the 2000s, and then the word “vape” was born.
And then there are the modern THC pens that are used to vaporize the e-liquid. As a result, vaping is becoming increasingly popular around the world.
Diverse flavor combinations
Some companies are trying to add flavors to cigarettes, however, it can never compare to the richness of flavors available in vaping. E-liquids create vapor and there are up to 7000 different flavors.
The flavors are grouped into common categories like beverage, breakfast, fruit, tobacco, dessert, menthol, etc. So whether you want a creamy or fruity flavor, you will never run out of options. You can always find something that will blow your taste buds away.
Vape Culture Explodes
Nowadays, vape culture is growing strongly and has a big resonance. Vape is not only considered a hobby but also a healthy lifestyle, a dynamic youthful culture. Local or national vape clubs organize annual trade fairs. It is an opportunity for vapers to meet, exchange and discuss, and it is also an opportunity for manufacturers to introduce their new products to users.
There is a whole subculture within these events. People create huge clouds, create puff rings, compete by measuring the thickness of the vapor, or do fancy, unique, and magical tricks. Vaping has even become an art form, often referred to as ‘trickers’ or ‘cloud-chasers’. People have fun trying to outdo other vapers. What’s more, many of these competitors use e-liquids that are less harmful to health or nicotine-free.
Meanwhile, vape devices are considered as prizes for vapers in competitions. For example, in the 2016 Oscars, electronic cigarettes were used as gifts for celebrities, thanks to which vaping has created a huge buzz in the community.
Vaping saves money
Smoking takes a toll on your finances. Buying cigarettes every day is expensive. There are many vaping products available at a wide range of prices, from disposable e-cigarettes to high-end vaping devices. Therefore, you will find a product that fits your budget.
A quality vape device is a one-time investment that pays off in the long run. Moreover, the advantage of vaping is its flexibility, allowing you to put it in your pocket and take it with you anywhere. There are many types of devices that do not require the user to have experience using them, such as disposable pods that have built-in mechanisms and are easy to use.
The more advanced devices are reusable. You will have to invest a large sum of money upfront, but the maintenance costs will be less. This will save you a lot of money compared to what you would spend on traditional cigarettes each day.
Conclude
Vaping is a smart choice in many ways. Compared to traditional cigarettes, vaping is not only safer than smoking but also gives you a healthy, enjoyable lifestyle with a large community. The variety of designs, styles and flavors gives you a wide and comfortable choice. So if you intend to quit smoking, vaping is a viable option.
