September 12, 2025Popcorn lung to some people might be an old wife’s tale (not that this story is old), yet the truth is backed up with solid hard evidence. The real juice lies within real life case studies/incidents that are occurring more often with higher severity. Although vaping is not the only bad guy to blame. Stay with me as we uncover abundant nail-biting stories and facts in popcorn long | myth or reality blog.
Before we begin
What is popcorn lung technically? Popcorn lung is bronchiolitis obliterans, tiny air tubes in your lungs called bronchioles, think of them like the branches on a tree that carry air all the way to the leaves (your air sacs). When they get damaged by foreign chemicals rather severely, the body immediately tries to heal them.
This healing process is rather rough and fast, leaving behind scar tissue. Those scars narrow and block the bronchioles, which is the serious problem. This damage is permanent, no cure, no long-term healing, you are just damaged for life. Causing wheezing, shortness of breath and dry coughs. Treatments can ease symptoms and that’s as far as it goes.
Real Life Cases
17-year-old high-school cheerleader (Brianne Cullen, Nevada)
Secretly vaped for around 3 years, started at the age of 14. presented with severe breathing difficulty during cheerleading practice. Diagnosed with bronchiolitis obliterans (“popcorn lung”). Sadly, this was a chronic and irreversible case, she now needs inhalers, risk for long-term degradation is a reality even if managed well. Here is the source for more details.
Vaping-associated Constrictive Bronchiolitis in a Woman in Her 40s
No name is given for privacy reasons, yet all the evidence is there. She was a regular daily vape (with no confirmed consumption amount) for several years before she started to get symptoms. With no other history of lung disease over working with heavy chemicals, the culprit was obvious.
She developed rapid onset, shortness of breath and cough. Pulmonary function tests showed severe obstruction and importantly no substantial response to bronchodilators. (That means intense inhalers weren’t doing much.) A CT scan of her chest showed extensive air trapping. (Air trapping = air gets stuck in the small airways, one of the hallmarks of bronchiolitis obliterans.)
So, they did a lung cryobiopsy (a biopsy of lung tissue) after other causes had been ruled out, and they saw airway inflammation and prominent bronchial-associated lymphoid tissue. Basically, they did all the tests, and she came out positive for popcorn lung.
Notes of this Case: This is a highly unique case as there is abundant evidence in all the tests done on her. Most people will never have these tests done since lack of funds, tools, time, doctors and many other reasons. So, there are a lot of other cases like this out there, there just isn’t the evidence.
17-year-old in Canada, intensive vaping of flavored e-cigarettes + THC
In this case we can immediately see there are other contributing factors to the lung damage other than vape fluid, THC is also involved. After months of daily heavy vaping, they developed cough, fever, breathing trouble and they were hospitalized. Doctors said case it looked more like popcorn lung than anything else.
Near-fatal risk, serious inflammation, lung damage and they weren’t sure of the full long‐term outcome. Here are the sources for this case.
How Does This Happen: The Real Science
A we mentioned above: What is bronchiolitis obliterans (“popcorn lung”)?Scarring/fibrosis of the small airways (bronchioles), narrowing, obstruction of airflow. Once scarred, damage is largely irreversible. Here are the culprits though:
The culprit chemical: diacetylProven in industrial settings (popcorn factory workers, flavoring factories) to cause this when inhaled chronically. Hence where the name comes from. A super fascinating fact.
Vaping liquids and diacetylSome e-liquids/flavorings have been found to contain diacetyl (or compounds that are structurally similar or degrade into harmful byproducts) especially in unregulated. The good news is that many regulated markets have bans/restrictions on diacetyl in e-liquids.
Other possible chemicalsBeyond diacetyl: acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, ultrafine particles, flavoring additives, solvents that may, with heat or poor regulation, produce harmful byproducts. Stripping your bronchioles causing them to heal and scar.
Dose, duration, and heat matter:Higher power, low quality device, long exposure means more risk. Frequency, flavoring strength, and how the user vapes (deep inhalation, etc.) affect exposure. Some lab studies show that carbonyl compounds spike when devices overheat. This shows that those with more powerful devices like mods are more prone to this horrendous fate.
Biological process: injury to bronchioles leads to inflammation causing healing with fibrous scar tissue resulting in narrowing/obliteration of airway lumen which equals reduced airflow, shortness of breath, wheezing, cough. Over time can lead to respiratory failure.
How to Avoid Popcorn Lung
Other than the obvious solutions towards the issue (quitting) here are some good ways to avoid this rather serious conundrum.
Avoid flavored e-liquids with diacetyl or untested flavorings: Check lab tests or certifications on the products you’re currently using or intend on trying. There is no harm in a little research to save your long-term health.
Use regulated products: Devices and liquids from reputable manufacturers, markets with oversight. The more popular a brand often means they passed most of the tests. Allowing them to sell to further reaches.
Avoid modifying or mixing unknown chemicals: Don’t DIY, don’t use black-market vape or additives. We used to make our own vape liquids in our chemistry lab at school. This is a good example of what not to do.
Don’t vape intensively: Limit exposure: frequency, depth of inhale, avoid high power settings. This is the golden rule, don’t vape like your life depends on it. Smoke rarely and softly, decreasing your risk. Cloud chasing isn’t cool, it’s crazy dangerous.
Monitor symptoms: Especially if you vape persistently and are coughing, wheezing struggling with shortness of breath and it’s not explained by other causes. Go and seek medical help.
Why Some Think It’s a Myth
Popcorn lung is incredibly rare and doesn’t happen to everyone, even if they are exposed to dangerous chemicals or smoke rigorously. The lack of evidence in large populations is also a contributing factor, especially when there are so many people who smoke vapes all day for many years and don’t have any sever underlying issues.
Some countries have banned diacetyl so the risk of getting popcorn lung is considerably diminished. There can also be a lot of confusion between media and hard evidence from doctors as to the exact causes of some lung damaged cases. Many people also don’t get the chance to go to the doctors if they can’t afford it and think their symptoms are minor (they just live with it).
Conclusion
Popcorn lung is real. It’s a serious, irreversible lung disease that has been documented in industrial settings and some recent vaping cases. That said, the evidence that vaping commonly causes popcorn lung is weak, the cases are rare and often caused by long use of unregulated products.
The risk isn’t zero especially for young people, flavor lovers, heavy users, or those using unregulated products. Best approach is to treat it as a real possibility. Avoid unnecessary risks, push for better regulation, and advocate good awareness.

September 8, 2025Nicotine has been around for over 3,400 years, but only recently have we found ways to smoke without it. Vaping has changed the world of smoking forever. Now that nicotine can be removed from the picture, we can finally run real tests and separate the habit from the addiction. In this article, we’ll go over ingredients, health implications, benefits, risks, and who nicotine-free vaping might be suitable for.
What Does “Nicotine-Free” Vaping Even Mean?
The answer might sound self-explanatory, but it helps to look at what remains in a nicotine-free e-liquid once nicotine is removed.
Propylene Glycol (PG)
A synthetic organic compound that’s clear, colorless, and slightly sweet. PG is used to carry nicotine and flavorings, creates the “throat hit” sensation, and blends smoothly with vegetable glycerin to produce the vapor clouds people enjoy.
It is generally recognized as safe by the FDA and has a wide range of uses:
Food: ice cream, salad dressings, soft drinks, frostings.
Pharmaceuticals: asthma inhalers, cough syrups, solvent for oral and injectable medications.
Cosmetics: perfumes, toothpaste, shampoos, conditioners.
Vegetable Glycerin (VG)
A sugar alcohol compound usually derived from soybean, coconut, or palm oils through hydrolysis. It’s clear, odorless, thick, and naturally sweet. VG is generally recognized as safe by the FDA.
In vaping, VG creates dense, smooth vapor clouds, making it popular with “cloud chasers” and with those who prefer a softer throat hit. It also appears in:
Food industry: sweetener, solvent, preservative.
Pharmaceuticals: capsules, lozenges, skin ointments.
Cosmetics: lotions, creams, soaps.
⚠️ Do not attempt to make or handle raw PG/VG products yourself. These compounds are prepared for vaping use by professionals.
Flavorings
Flavorings can be organic or synthetic, and often are the same compounds used in food and drinks. From fruits and desserts to menthol and tobacco profiles, the variety is enormous. The only difference is instead of eating them, you’re now inhaling them, which raises its own set of questions.
The Health Angle | Gains and Losses
Gains
Zero nicotine addiction: No nicotine means you’re either starting on a clean slate or making the right choice to wean yourself off smoking. Nicotine itself can reduce appetite, cause sleep disruption, raise heart rate and blood pressure, and fuel anxiety or irritability. Removing it breaks the cycle.
No cravings: Cravings are unpleasant, they can make you short-tempered, nauseous, or restless. Nicotine dependency literally rewires neural pathways that stick around for years. Without nicotine, those pathways stop being reinforced.
No withdrawals: Withdrawal is the brain and body fighting against themselves. Without nicotine, there’s no withdrawal period, no stressful imbalance, and no “crash” after skipping a dose.
Losses
You’re still inhaling unwanted substances: heavy metals, additives, flavoring by-products. In large quantities, these can still cause harm, especially with stronger vape devices. Potential risks include throat irritation, persistent cough, and rare but concerning conditions like “popcorn lung.”
Remember: less harmful ≠ harmless.
Unseen Factors
Ex-Smokers: Nicotine-free vaping can serve as a softer transition away from cigarettes or nicotine vapes. It’s easier to manage than going “cold turkey.”
Reinforcing Habits: For some, the ritual of vaping itself can become habit-forming and may lead back to nicotine-containing products. In this sense, nicotine-free vaping can act like a “gateway.”
Curious Users: For non-smokers, it’s an appealing way to experience the ritual of smoking without the addictive hook.
Teen Concerns: Because it looks and feels safer, teens may see nicotine-free vaping as harmless. But inhaling flavored vapor still builds a habit, muscle memory, and psychological associations that could lead to riskier smoking behavior later.
Alternatives Worth Considering
There are other ways to manage cravings or the hand-to-mouth habit:
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT): gums, patches, lozenges.
Behavioral replacements: teas, chewing sticks, biltong, mindfulness techniques.
CBD vapes: a non-nicotine option with different effects, though research is ongoing.
Conclusion
Nicotine-free vaping removes the most notorious risk, addiction. That alone makes it a meaningful step forward, especially for smokers looking to quit or reduce harm. Yet it doesn’t make vaping “healthy.” You’re still inhaling chemical compounds that were designed for food, not lungs, and the long-term effects remain uncertain.
If you’re an ex-smoker, nicotine-free vaping can be a bridge toward quitting altogether. While if you’ve never smoked before, think twice, because while nicotine-free vaping avoids dependence, it still carries risks and may encourage habits that are difficult to break.
In the end, the healthiest choice is no smoke and no vapor at all, but if the choice is between nicotine and no-nicotine vaping, removing nicotine is a solid first step in the right direction.

September 4, 2025This post is written with no bias, relying only on verified studies, medical journals, and real-world observations. The goal isn’t to demonize or glorify vaping, but to ask the central question: does secondhand vapor pose harm to those nearby? We will dig deep into the technicalities behind the subject and provide solutions to the dilemma.
The difference in chemicals between inhalation and exhalation
When someone inhales vapor, their body absorbs only a portion of the e-liquid aerosol, so let’s see what is left.
1st Inhalation:
The vapor contains nicotine (if present), propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and flavoring chemicals. Studies estimate that 60–80% of nicotine is absorbed in the lungs.
Including all the other chemical like, Formaldehyde (a known carcinogen) & Acetaldehyde, acrolein, benzene, toluene, and xylene (at much lower levels than cigarettes, but still detectable), heavy metals, ultra fine particles and we really could go on.
Exhalation:
Roughly 15–40% of the nicotine, along with ultrafine particles, aldehydes, and trace heavy metals, is released back into the air. Unlike cigarette smoke, there’s no tar, but chemicals like formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein can still be measured in the exhaled plume.
You are basically still getting a little bit of everything, practically no difference in the types of chemicals, only the amount is different and even then, up to 30% of particles are still present.
How Fast Vapor Diffuses into the Air
This is a really big deal and often what people miss. Diffusion is what you should worry about.
No airflow (closed room/house):
Ultrafine particles (less than 1 micron) can linger for 20–30 minutes before significantly dispersing. Concentrations can build up to several hundred micrograms per cubic meter, depending on room size and number of people vaping.
At these levels we are talking about, it’s tiny compared to a single puff, about thousandths of a percent per breath. Yet you could be in this room for a long time, taking hundreds of breaths.
Good ventilation & airflow:
A window open in a room makes a huge difference. One needs to get the airflow right though. For this to happen you need two space open to the outdoors, one on each side of the room or house. Like a door and a window or two large windows open.
Studies show particle concentrations drop to background levels within 1–2 minutes. Ventilation makes a massive difference, reducing exposure by 80–95%. We may pick up on the smell, that’s because our noses are extremely good at their job. Not because your inhaling lots of smoke.
Signs and symptoms of exposure
For non-users, exposure doesn’t usually cause long-term harm at the levels measured, but sensitive individuals may notice:
Irritation of the throat, nose, or eyes.
Headaches or dizziness (linked to nicotine traces and ultrafine particles).
Worsened asthma symptoms in children or adults with respiratory conditions.
Nausea or coughing after prolonged exposure in poorly ventilated areas.
These effects are generally mild and temporary but point to the fact that secondhand vapor is not 100% benign.
Secondhand vape vs secondhand smoke
Here are some highlighted important differences between these two. There are few large differences between these two.
Cigarette smoke:
Contains over 7,000 chemicals, at least 70 known carcinogens.
Secondhand smoke exposure is proven to cause cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illness.
Lingers in the air and on surfaces (“thirdhand smoke”) for hours.
Cigarette smoke is much heavier and so therefor harder to get rid of in the air. The smoke also lingers on clothing and others surfaces creating a yellow – black look.
Vape vapor:
Contains fewer chemicals, lower concentrations, and no combustion products (like tar or carbon monoxide).
Still contains nicotine, aldehydes, and ultrafine particles.
Disperses faster, especially with airflow, but can still cause irritation.
In short: secondhand vapor is less harmful than cigarette smoke, but “less harmful” does not mean harmless.
Conclusion
Secondhand vapor carries fewer risks than traditional tobacco smoke, yet it isn’t risk-free. The level of harm depends heavily on context: the size of the space, airflow, frequency of exposure, and sensitivity of nearby individuals. Respect and caution remain important, especially around children, pregnant individuals, or people with respiratory conditions. Create a safe space for all people always.

September 1, 2025Today we are going to review five different case studies done on how tobacco companies have attempted and succeeded at shouting down vape companies. Some with valid reasoning and others to knock out the competition. Each Case study will have its sources found below it. Thanks for reading.
Case Study – 1
Imperial Brands’ patent ambush on early e‑cigarette makers (2013‑2015)
In 2013 Imperial Tobacco (now Imperial Brands) bought a portfolio of e‑cigarette patents from Dragonite International; its co‑founder Hon Lik is credited with inventing the modern e‑cigarette (the first inventor for the e-cigarette was actually a guy named joseph Robinson).
Then they decided to file at least eight U.S. lawsuits in March 2014 against vape‑upstarts including NJOY, 21st Century Smoke and Vapin Plus. On what grounds would they do this? Well, Imperial argued that their “metal tubes that heat nicotine‑laced liquid” were being copied. So, after a year of legal carpet‑bombing, Fontem (the subsidiary who filed the cases) reached settlements in late 2015.
The result granted Japan Tobacco and other defendants a global licence to Fontem’s patents. A good example of how big tobacco companies with deep pockets cut short pioneers of the industry and then offered them licensing “protection” at a fee. A well-played move.

Case Study – 2
R.J. Reynolds sues small vape sellers for using Camel and Salem names (2012‑2013)
Just when vaping startup companies where booming, Reynolds Innovations (a division of R.J. Reynolds) decided to sue people who dared to invoke its famous brands. In 2012 the company filed a trademark infringement suit against SAS Technologies, accusing the firm of using Camel and Winston names on e‑liquids.
In all fairness, this should be a standard for companies with large, branded names. To put your own products under a major corporate name such as Camel, tells people you’re looking for trouble.
A year later Reynolds sued vape entrepreneur John Thompson for selling liquid nicotine under the Camel and Salem labels. According to Convenience Store News, the case settled in July 2013; Thompson agreed to pay an undisclosed sum and stop using the trademarks.
In this case scenario, the vape entrepreneur was in the wrong, selling liquid nicotine under protected brand labels (Camel, Salem). The reason for it, to increase product sales. A dirty way to play the game. The message was clear: if you even whisper “Camel” near a bottle of vape juice, expect a court summons.
Here is the cherry on top. Simultaneously, Reynolds was preparing to launch its own Vuse e‑cigarette. Nothing says “embrace innovation” like suing your future competitors for doing the thing you’re about to start doing yourself. We all know how popular Vuse e-cigarettes release was.

Case study – 3
Lorillard buys blu eCigs for $135 million (2012)
Here we have a classic power move case, where both sides of the party got what they wanted. Lorillard being the first big U.S company to put their money where their mouth was (or so to say). Founded in 1760 and produced brands like Newport, Maverick, Old Gold, Kent and True. In April 2012 it announced that its subsidiary Lorillard Tobacco Co. would acquire Blu eCigs for $135 million in cash.
Taking an opportunity with both hands to own a major tobacco and e-cigarette company. A finger in two pies is better than one. Lorillard’s CEO explained that e‑cigarettes offered “many of the benefits of other smokeless products” while feeling familiar to adult smokers.
In other words it was good investment, thanks to it being less harmful than tobacco like (chewing tobacco, snus, nic pouches) yet it has the same look and effect as cigarettes do, so adult smokers would be happy to make the compromise.
The company promised to keep Blu as a separate business with its own management and to use Lorillard’s regulatory clout to expand distribution. A kind gesture to the employees I’m sure. Blu’s co‑founder Jason Healy called the deal “an extremely positive step” that would give the young company resources to expand research and distribution.
This buy‑out signaled that the cigarette giants were tired of litigating from the sidelines; they planned to own the category outright. A position in which most tobacco companies where in and were taking advantage of.

Case Study – 4
Altria’s Juul gamble and the antitrust backlash (2018‑2023)
2018: Altria (the company behind Marlboro) spent $12.8 billion to buy 35% of Juul, which was the hottest e-cigarette brand at the time. That deal valued Juul at a crazy $38 billion.
They wanted a piece of e-cigarette market from one of the biggest vaping companies in the U.S at the time (Juul). Giving them more access to customers and better distribution.
2019-2020: Losing billions by doing the right thing.
Juul quickly got blamed for a spike in teen vaping, which brought massive regulatory heat.
The FTC (competition watchdog) accused Altria and Juul of cutting a shady deal: Altria shut down its own vape brand (MarkTen) and promised not to compete, in exchange for that 35% Juul stake. To regulators, this looked like collusion, instead of competing, they were teaming up.
Juul’s value tanked, Altria’s $12.8B stake shrank to just $4.2B on paper.
Where those teens not going to buy vaping products anyway, despite the brand? How could such a good deal between two major companies go so sour? How very controversial
2023: Altria finally dumped Juul. They traded their remaining stake for some Juul patents and moved on, buying another vape company (NJOY) for $2.75B instead.

Case Study – 5
Patent wars and truce: BAT vs PMI and Juul vs NJOY (2024‑2025)
Two former allies we just spoke about, battling it out through the years. Altria (now owner of NJOY) and Juul, fighting over patents. International (PMI) and British American Tobacco (BAT) announced a global patent settlement.
Basically, ending the suing war between tobacco and vape companies that have been running rampant for years. The eight‑year truce allows each company to keep innovating, a cease‑fire motivated by mutually assured destruction after years of multi‑front litigation.
2025 January, the U.S. International Trade Commission sided with Juul and ordered a ban on imports of Altria’s NJOY ACE devices because they infringed Juul’s patents. Altria was not winning this war since 2019. The ruling forced Altria to halt NJOY ACE sales and take a hefty write‑down; analysts expect the company to redesign the product and relaunch in 2026.
Talk about being persistent, yet maybe there where major breaches in copies of equipment being used for speeding up production or quality. The patent wars show how Big Tobacco’s vaping ambitions have devolved into a circular firing squad: they now spend as much time suing each other as they do selling nicotine.

Final Say
One cannot pick a side easily. On one hand we have tobacco companies buying out Vape companies for fair prices and keeping them as separate business entities, allowing for consistency and fair trade. Then we have tobacco companies cutting corners and purchasing shares of vape companies to copy their styles/models.
We have Vape companies copying big corporate tobacco names to increase sales and we have both sides attempting to create shady deals that benefit both parties simultaneously, with no mercy for other companies to compete. All stories to be taken with grain of salt. As the true story is always going to be different from the one you read online.

August 28, 2025Tobacco has long been known as the enemy of oral health, yet what is the result in question to vaping and oral health? Easy to say there must be effects towards it as well, yet to what extent. Staining of teeth, bad breath and unhealthy gums are all topics we will touch on in this blog.
Gums
Tobacco
Reduces blood flow to the gums, starving them of oxygen and nutrients. This leads to gum recession and slower healing after dental procedures. How does this happen ?
Nicotine tightening the blood vessels including the tiny capillaries in your gums. This limits the amount of oxygen and nutrients that can reach gum tissue.
Carbon monoxide displaces oxygen: When you smoke, carbon monoxide binds to red blood cells, reducing their ability to carry oxygen. Less oxygen = slower healing and weaker gum tissue.
Thicker blood, poorer circulation: Smoking increases platelet stickiness and blood viscosity. Your blood is literally thicker and more clot-prone, so circulation to fine tissues like your gums takes a hit.
Vaping
Vaping also causes irritation and restricted blood flow, though typically to a lesser extent than smoking. The nicotine in e-liquids still contributes to gum inflammation and can mask signs of gum disease.
Dry mouth = bacteria playground. Vaping can reduce saliva production. Saliva is your mouth’s natural defense, without enough, bacteria can build up, increasing the risk of gum disease and cavities.
Potential chemical exposure. Propylene glycol, flavorings, and other additives may damage gum cells or trigger immune responses. Long-term studies are limited, but early research shows changes in gum cell function and delayed healing.
Along with a few other reasons, they both do damage to your oral health. Tobacco being a lot more like a brick to the face compared to vaping like being thrown with a tennis bowl. Although long term research seems to favor vaping, since its less studied and more complicated.
Teeth
Tobacco
Tar and nicotine stains: The dark compounds in tobacco (tar plus nicotine) stick to enamel, creating yellow-brown or even black stains over time. Stained enamel is easier for bacteria to cling to, so plaque formation accelerates. You know that terrible feeling of fury teeth when one hasn’t brushed in a while. Thats bacteria having a field day on your enamel.
pH imbalance and bacterial shift: Smoking alters your mouth’s pH and encourages “bad” bacteria that thrive in low-oxygen environments. These bacteria produce acids that erode enamel and inflame gums, creating a vicious cycle of decay and periodontal issues. FYI those acids they produce, take a guess where they come from.
Weakened enamel and slower repair: Tar and toxins don’t just stain—they damage the enamel surface, making it more porous and vulnerable. Combined with restricted blood flow, your teeth and gums can’t repair themselves effectively. This point brings it all together from the last topic.
Vaping
No tar, so less surface staining: Without the dark compounds from tobacco smoke, enamel doesn’t get that heavy yellow-brown coating. Your teeth usually look cleaner visually compared to a smoker’s. Although…
Sugary and acidic flavorings: Many e-liquids contain sugars or acids (like citric acid, malic acid, or caramel flavorings). These compounds soften and demineralize enamel over time, making teeth more prone to cavities and sensitivity. Even if your teeth aren’t visibly stained, the surface can be slowly weakening. This is dangerous because most people are highly un-aware of this fact.
Dry mouth risk: Vaping can reduce saliva flow. Saliva is your mouth’s natural defense. It buffers acids and washes away bacteria. Less saliva + acidic e-liquid = enamel erosion and cavity-prone conditions. A dry mouth is never good in any situation, remember that.
As an interesting fact, from the 17th – 19th century physicians would believe that there where worms that would burrow into our teeth causing cavities, decay and tooth aches. So drilling, burning, scrapping and rituals were created to remove them.
Little did they know, they were actually right, the worms where just a little bit smaller than they thought. About 1,000–10,000 times smaller. Called bacteria and their acidic excrement was the cause of our daily tooth issues.
Breath
Tobacco
Smokers are notoriously known for bad breath and hare is why.
Residual smoke compounds: Tobacco smoke contains thousands of chemicals, including nicotine, tar, aldehydes, and sulfur compounds. When you exhale, these compounds linger in your mouth, sticking to enamel, gums, tongue, and the soft tissues inside your cheeks.
Dry mouth amplifies odor: Smoking reduces saliva flow, which normally helps wash away bacteria and neutralize acids. Less saliva = bacteria thrive, producing volatile sulfur compounds that smell like rotten eggs or decay.
Long-term tissue changes: Chronic smoking can lead to gum disease, plaque, and tartar, all of which contribute to persistent bad breath. Even after brushing, smoker’s breath can linger because of chemical absorption in tissues. Your mouth basically becomes the cigarette/tobacco you are smoking.
Vaping
Vaping is flavored and doesn’t carry such heavy compounds like tobacco, so it doesn’t have such a significant effect on the smell of your breath. Although it’s not entirely out of the picture just yet.
Reduced saliva in the mouth leads to no defense against bacteria, which in hand promotes tooth decay and as you could guess that leads to bad breath. A long with other chemicals taking their toll on on your teeth and restricted blood flow to your gums.
What you can do about it
Brush teeth frequently, especially after smoking if you can. Using fluoride toothpaste and an electric toothbrush ideally.
Floss as often as you can. Mainly after meals to get rid of anything bacteria can get its grips on.
Use an antiseptic or alcohol-free mouth wash to kill odor-causing bacteria without drying your mouth.
Drink plenty of water to keep a good saliva flow, combating bacteria.
Chew special types of gums (sugar free or xylitol) which will keep a good saliva production going.
Get regular checkups from the dentist and make sure they clean your teeth when you go.
Make healthy lifestyle choices, less smoking and less consumption of sugary or acidic products.
Do antimicrobial rinses and make sure your scrape your tongue off once a day. Thats the real hive of bacteria infestation.
Final say
Oral health is one of the hardest parts of the body to maintain as it is, without the addition of extra help from tobacco and vaping. Brushing your teeth twice a day isn’t even good enough for some people to stay away from tooth decay.
There is always a battle going on inside your mouth and you can think of eating sweets, smoking and drinking unhealthy beverages, as handing the enemy weapons for their effort against winning the war of your mouth. [...]

August 25, 2025Nicotine is incredibly important in a lot of ecosystems, a chemical that plays a large role in humanities ecosystem as well, whether its directly or indirectly. So naturally it should be an important topic for us to be educated on, as it also has some fascinating branches of information and key uses.
The chemical compound that is nicotine
An alkaloid (C₁₀H₁₄N₂).
Found naturally in tobacco leaves (commonly known), as well as tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants and green peppers (all a part of the nightshade family). For the less well-known consumables you find on your dinner plate containing nicotine, you would have to eat hundreds of kilograms to equal one cigarette.
These nightshade family plants produce nicotine as a bug repellent. First synthesized in their roots and then carried to their leaves where bugs regularly feed. To a bug the nicotine targets the nervous system, overstimulating certain receptors and leading to their death.
How is nicotine made for vapes
There are two ways in which this is done:
Traditional extraction from tobacco:
Most nicotine you find in vapes are made from this process. They start by soaking the tobacco leaves in a solvent (usually ethanol or ammonia) which separates the nicotine. Then it’s purified into nic salts or freebase nicotine which they use in vapes. A common method thanks to tobaccos high nicotine content.
Synthetic nicotine (Lab-Made):
Also called TFN (tobacco free nicotine), an expensive and uncommon way to make nicotine. A niche market that caters for very little of the vape juices out there. Simply produced in a lab that takes other chemicals to build the nicotine chemical (C₁₀H₁₄N₂) in a lab.
Body consumption methods and effects by dosage
Inhalation (smoking/vaping).
Absorption through oral products (gum, patches, snus, pouches).
Speed of delivery: why smoking/vaping hits faster than other methods.
Dosages:
Low dosage (≈ 0.5–1 mg nicotine, about 1 light cigarette)-> Mild stimulation, slight mood lift, increased alertness, and a gentle rise in heart rate.
Moderate dosage (≈ 2–3 mg nicotine, about 3–4 light cigarettes)-> Noticeable cardiovascular effects (faster heartbeat, increased blood pressure), stronger dopamine release leading to focus, calm, or pleasure.
High dosage (≈ 5+ mg nicotine, about 7+ light cigarettes in a short time)-> Can cause nausea, dizziness, sweating, and even short-term nicotine poisoning symptoms if taken too quickly.
As a regular user would know, this all depends on your body’s tolerance towards the nicotine chemical. A pack a day smoker of a medium – heavy cigarette, won’t feel much when smoking at all. Whereas a nonsmoker might just pass out from having that many cigarettes a day.
Effects on the brain by dosage
Low dosage (≈ 0.5 mg nicotine, ~1 pull of a 3% vape)-> Improved focus, mild mood boost, and light stimulation of reward pathways.
Moderate dosage (≈ 2–3 mg nicotine, ~5–7 pulls of a 3% vape within a short period)-> Stronger dopamine and serotonin release, reinforcing the pleasure/reward loop that builds habit and dependence.
High dosage (≈ 5+ mg nicotine, ~12–15 pulls of a 3% vape in quick succession)-> Overstimulation of the brain’s receptors, possible anxiety, jitteriness, or triggering of the withdrawal-craving cycle.
Long-term use
The brain adapts by increasing the number of nicotinic receptors. This makes quitting difficult because even after stopping, those receptors remain, demanding stimulation until they reset over weeks to months.
Silent yet significant effects
Suppression of appetite: While nicotine should never be considered a good or healthy weight loss option. Nicotine has been one of the top long-term weight loss drugs in the last century. Studies done on mice show that frequent dosages are more effective in weight loss than high dosages.
Alters sleep quality: A none-smoker might tell you that after using nicotine they feel lethargic or sleepy. While frequent and heavy users will tell you they don’t get enough quality sleep. Nicotine reduces REM and deep sleep, leaving you restless and tired. This disrupts your natural flow of rest.
Affects stress perception: A complex understanding. The actions of smoking nicotine are seen as stress relief by the body and mind, deeper and longer breaths (breathing exercises), release of dopamine (usually felt when having a good time, taking a break from work to go smoke (seen as a opportunity to relax)
The reality is that it increases your heart rate, activates adrenal glands (fight or flight mode), blood pressure rises, and you become short of breath (a sign of the body being exhausted)
Conclusion
Nicotine is not good or bad, it is complex. With an array of medical uses and a long history of abuse. A product that’s best to understand fully before using it. With so many ways of consuming this product, being aware of your dosages is incredibly important.
Be aware of how it affects you during consumption & long after. There is an internal balance we have that should be protected, mentally and physically. Know your limits and educate those around you who do not know the impact of nicotine on the body and brain. [...]

April 29, 2025A curious question how long does a disposable vapes pen last? well as you would assume there are many answers to this question. So we are going to dive deep into it. There will be a lot of math in the answer to this question and a lot of guestimation.
Touching on topics like disposable vape pen vs normal vape pen, puff count sizes, how to know when to stop, what does nicotine have to do with it and how can you make the disposable vape you have, last longer.
Disposable Vape Pen vs Normal Vape Pen
(How long does a disposable vape pen last vs a normal vape pen)
Normal Vape Pens
Normal vape pens are usually good enough to last 6 months to 2 years, depending on how well you look after them and how much use they get. Here are the pros and cons you’ll want to know before deciding:
✅ Pros:
More affordable in the long runThey might be a big budget spend at first, but they pay off after a few refills. Buying vape juice is cheaper than buying new devices all the time.
Replaceable coilsBurnt coil? No problem. You can just swap it out instead of replacing the whole vape like you would with a disposable.
Change flavours anytimeDon’t like the current flavour? Nicotine too strong or too weak? Swap juice and you’re good to go.
Longer battery lifeThese vapes are designed for daily use and have stronger, longer-lasting batteries.
Slightly more eco-friendlyYou’re not tossing out an entire device every week, which helps reduce waste—even if it’s only slightly.
They last longerThat’s the whole point, isn’t it?
❌ Cons:
They sometimes leakBecause they’re designed to be refillable and rebuildable, leaks can happen often. And E-liquid is a pain to clean off anything.
Coils burn out fasterHigh wattage = faster burnout. Also, bad for your lungs if you’re inhaling burnt metal and cotton.
They don’t warn you when coils burnA disposable usually runs out of juice before the coil dies—normal vapes don’t. You could end up unknowingly inhaling toxins.
Expensive to replaceLose it, break it, gets stolen, or it vanishes with your “friend”—a new one isn’t cheap.
Disposable Vapes
The king and queen of convenience. The very reason so many people vape today. You can grab one almost anywhere, often for less than the price of a meal or a few packs of cigarettes.
✅ Pros:
Affordable upfrontUsually a quarter of the price of a full vape setup, making them accessible to all income levels.
Fixed lifespanYou get exactly what you pay for—5k, 10k, 20k, 30k or even 40k puffs. Just be ready to commit to one flavor.
Disposable = stress-freeDrop it? Lose it? No big deal.
Rechargeable (for larger models)Bigger ones often come with charging ports, so they last longer than you’d expect.
Packed with featuresSome disposables come with smart features like puff counters, adjustable nicotine, or even flavour switches.
Virtually indestructibleNo leaking, no burnt coils, no tanks to break—just puff and go.
❌ Cons:
Bad for the environmentThese things pile up. Most aren’t recyclable, and tossing them weekly adds to our growing waste problem.
Costly over timeIf you’re using them daily, you’ll spend far more in the long run than you would on a normal vape.
No flavour swappingStuck halfway through a flavour you don’t like? Tough luck—unless your friend wants it.
No repairs or modsWhat you buy is what you get. No changing coils, juice, or fixing issues.
Puff count sizes
(How long does a disposable vape pen last?)
So, let’s get into the math’s of it all.
We’ll assume:
A light user takes ~150 puffs/day
An average user takes ~300 puffs/day
A consistent/heavy user takes ~600 puffs/day
Now let’s calculate how many days each puff count would last:
🟢 5,000 Puff Disposable
Light user (150 puffs/day): ~33 days
Average user (300 puffs/day): ~16–17 days
Heavy user (600 puffs/day): ~8–9 days
🔵 10,000 Puff Disposable
Light user: ~66 days
Average user: ~33 days
Heavy user: ~16–17 days
🟣 15,000 Puff Disposable
Light user: ~100 days
Average user: ~50 days
Heavy user: ~25 days
🟠 20,000 Puff Disposable
Light user: ~133 days
Average user: ~66 days
Heavy user: ~33 days
🔴 30,000 Puff Disposable
Light user: ~200 days
Average user: ~100 days
Heavy user: ~50 days
⚫ 40,000 Puff Disposable
Light user: ~266 days (~9 months)
Average user: ~133 days (~4.5 months)
Heavy user: ~66 days (~2 months)
There are a lot of statistics you can use to judge which category you best fit into.
⚠️ Real-World Disclaimer:
These are just puff math estimates. Actual vape lifespan can vary depending on, how big your pulls are, battery reliability, e-liquid drying out or leaking, burnt coil syndrome 🔥This gives you a damn good ballpark. The question of “how long does a disposable vape pen last?” has a incredibly flexible answer.
Know when to stop
I’m not talking about quitting smoking here—I just want to touch on overuse of a coil. If the smoke feels too hot, the flavour starts fading, or you pick up a burnt smell on your nose or palate, your coil might be burnt.
Vaping with a burnt coil tastes harsh and unpleasant, and it can release harmful chemicals like formaldehyde from scorched cotton. It can also irritate your throat, cause coughing, and damage your device.
Nicotine levels
This topic is essential to the question “how long does a disposable vape pen last?” The more nicotine there is inside your vape, the quicker you’ll satisfy the desire to boost your dopamine. The less you’ll likely end up smoking.
Don’t try this right away, as it can make you feel faint, nauseous, and cause other effects that make you feel sick. You can, however, use this method to smoke less and make your device last longer. Just be careful—nicotine is addictive and could end up making you want to smoke even more.
🧠 Final Thoughts: How Long Does a Disposable Vape Pen Last?
When it comes down to it, how long does a disposable vape pen last really depends on how much you puff, how often, and what size you’re working with. Light users can stretch a device for weeks, while heavy users might burn through it in just a few days.
Disposables offer unmatched convenience and simplicity, but if you’re a regular vaper, they’ll cost more and clutter the planet faster than you think. If you’re in this for the long haul, a normal vape might be the smarter, cleaner choice. Either way—know your needs, choose wisely, and for the love of your lungs, don’t keep puffing on a burnt coil.

April 23, 2025Recently, I’ve been hearing many people complain about stomach issues after vaping. So, I figured it’s time to break it all down in this post, “Vaping Side Effects Stomach”, because what you don’t know might actually be tying your gut in knots.
We’re going deep. Think: nicotine vs. non-nicotine, chemical chaos, long-term danger signs, and how to kick the habit without losing your mind. Ready? Let’s get real.
🧪 Understanding Vape Fluid
Most vape juices are made of:
PG (Propylene Glycol) – Found in foods, meds, even fog machines. Hits the throat, wakes the taste buds, might make you cough.
VG (Vegetable Glycerin) – Smooth clouds for days. Also found in skincare and pharmaceuticals.
Then comes the infamous nicotine – a naturally occurring alkaloid used by plants to fend off predators. Found in tobacco, tomatoes, and even eggplants. It hijacks your nervous system, spikes blood pressure, heart rate, and dopamine. But hey — it doesn’t technically give you cancer or melt your lungs. Wild, right?
But here’s where it gets murky. Companies love to play mad scientist. The flavor factories add everything from sweeteners to preservatives, colorants, and whatever else they can dream up — without checking what that cocktail actually does to your insides.
And that, my friend, is where the trouble starts with vaping side effects stomach.
🔬 Understanding Your Stomach
Your stomach isn’t just a food sack — it’s a chemical battleground.
To keep digestion smooth, your stomach stays highly acidic, rocking a pH between 1.5 and 3.5. That acid activates enzymes like pepsin, turning your protein-rich meals into amino acid mush. It also kills off bacteria, helping your immune system out.
But the real hero? Mucus. Your stomach walls are lined with it to protect you from digesting yourself alive.
The balance here is delicate. Mess it up, and you’re in for a world of gut pain when vaping side effects stomach.
⚠️ Cause and Effect: Vaping Side Effects Stomach
Nicotine overstimulates your autonomic nervous system — the same system that controls digestion. It ramps up acid production, slows digestion, and causes heartburn, acid reflux, gastritis, nausea, bloating, and cramping. On an empty stomach, it often triggers loose stools or even diarrhea. First-timers or those hitting it too hard get “nic sick” — nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and cold sweats.
🧫 Indirect Gut Effects
Here’s the sneaky part. Vaping doesn’t just hit your stomach directly — it throws off your gut ecosystem.
Studies show vaping reduces good gut bacteria (like lactobacillus), increases inflammation, and could lead to IBS — which, if you’ve ever had it, is like living with a pissed-off dragon in your belly.
Nicotine also suppresses your appetite. So you skip meals, miss nutrients, and your stomach acid builds up with nothing to digest. This combo leads to ulcers, fatigue, dizziness, and a dive in your mental and physical game.
❗ When Vaping Gets Serious
If you’ve got any of the conditions below, vaping will likely make things worse:
GERD (Acid reflux)
IBS
Crohn’s disease
Ulcerative colitis
Hiatal hernia
Peptic ulcers
Why? Because both nicotine and artificial vape juice ingredients crank up inflammation and weaken your body’s gut defense system — like the esophageal sphincter, which literally stops acid from launching up your throat.
Let’s say it one more time for the search gods: vaping side effects stomach is not a joke.
⚖️ Nicotine vs Non-Nicotine Vapes
Don’t get it twisted — nicotine isn’t the only villain.
Sweeteners, colorants, and mystery flavorings are equally shady. Plus, when your vape juice runs low, your cotton coil burns and releases a nasty chemical cloud that your stomach does not appreciate.
So yeah, even the “non-nicotine” options aren’t a free pass.
🧠 How to Stop Vaping (The Psychology Bit)
There are endless quit methods out there, but here’s the psychological trick I teach as a coach:
We all have mental “pictures” that define how we feel about things. Your view of vaping is different from mine. So — flip the script. Think of something you hate (rust? blood? broccoli? the smell of petrol?) and ask:
“How do I feel about that thing?”
Then ask: “How can I start to see vaping the same way?”
You’re the artist of your own mental movie. Change the imagery, and the craving fades. But only you can direct that shift. Ask better questions, get better answers.
🧾 Final Thoughts: Vaping Side Effects Stomach
If your stomach is fighting back, your vape might be the reason. Whether it’s nicotine’s impact on your nervous system, mystery juice ingredients messing up your microbiome, or flavor overload torching your gut lining — it’s time to pay attention.
Want to keep your stomach from going on strike? Rethink the vape. Ask better questions. And start treating your gut like the chemical temple it actually is. [...]

April 1, 2025While the truth can be hidden in many things, most of the time it’s very obvious. Vaping and the side effects. Here on this post, we will be looking at hard facts about vaping, tests and results. I shall also be giving my personal opinion as a once upon a time heavy vape smoker.
We will be sharing stories and giving insights from news reports and diving into some of the chemistry behind the product. Vaping is an unbelievably controversial topic and even more of a complicated system of effects.
Industry Influence & Lobbying
When vapes were first designed in 1963 (during a tobacco boom), there was a patent on it, so nobody wanted to buy the product. Rather, companies waited for the patent to expire and then produced their own products. Tobacco companies would also threaten or pay off any competitors even thinking of supporting vaping.
In 2004, there was no more denying that vaping was going to change the course of smoking history. Vapes came out and were being sold commercially as a way of “getting off cigarettes.” This slowly became the new-age revolution, although it didn’t always work as intended.
Many people ended up smoking both. Sometimes the opposite effect would take place—someone would start vaping and then end up on cigarettes or rolling tobacco. Statistics show that 30% of young teens and adults who start vaping end up smoking cigarettes in the U.S.
Why Has So Little Research Been Done on Vaping and the Side Effects?
Funny enough, both tobacco companies and vaping companies put a lot of funding into the health research of this product. But why would tobacco companies invest in research on their competitor’s product?
Tobacco companies fund research to debunk vaping, hoping to find something cancer-causing or related to lung disease to damage vaping sales.
Vaping companies do the opposite, funding research to prove that vaping is healthier than smoking cigarettes. The fight goes on, with both sides investing heavily in corporate battles.
Why Is There No Overall Result?
The truth is, there is. As hard as it is to swallow, vaping at the moment stands as the healthier product. However, this is not a definitive fact. Different parts of the world have different regulations on vaping and the side effects.
China, India, and Thailand have banned vaping altogether, while the UK and New Zealand promote it as harm reduction. We are all in suspense to see if there are any unforeseen effects of vaping that might emerge in the next 40 years.
Vaping is also always changing—more and more foreign chemicals are being added to vape flavors every day, different cotton is being used, and less effective coils are appearing.
Environmental Impact of Vaping and the Side Effects
E-Waste from Disposable Vapes
Most disposable vapes contain built-in lithium-ion batteries that are not easily recyclable. Tossed in the trash, they contribute to battery pollution and chemical leaks into soil and water.
Plastic Pollution
Many vape pods and disposable devices are made from plastic and mixed materials, making them difficult to recycle. Unlike cigarette butts (which are also a massive problem), vape waste includes plastic pods, coils, and packaging, adding to the world’s plastic crisis.
Toxic Chemical Leakage
Leftover e-liquid in disposed pods can leach nicotine, heavy metals, and other toxins into the environment, contaminating water sources and harming wildlife.
Energy & Resource Consumption
Lithium mining (for vape batteries) contributes to habitat destruction and water shortages. The production and shipping of vaping products have a huge carbon footprint, especially for single-use vapes that are discarded quickly.
Poor Recycling Infrastructure
Many countries lack proper recycling programs for vape products. Most people don’t know how or where to recycle used vapes, so they just throw them away.
Vaping and the Side Effects on the Body
Short-Term Effects:
Coughing and shortness of breath – The most obvious yet most harmful part of vaping and the side effects. These chemicals are responsible:
Diacetyl & Acetyl Propionyl (Flavoring Chemicals) – Found in buttery flavors like popcorn and caramel, can cause “Popcorn Lung.”
Propylene Glycol (PG) & Vegetable Glycerin (VG) – Main vape ingredients that dry out and irritate the lungs. PG breaks down into formaldehyde at high heat.
Formaldehyde & Acrolein (Toxic Byproducts) – Formed at high wattages or from dry hits, causing lung inflammation and long-term damage.
Nicotine (Even in “Nicotine-Free” Vapes) – Increases airway sensitivity and can lead to chronic bronchitis-like symptoms.
Metal Particles (From Coils) – Vaping releases nickel, lead, and chromium, which may cause lung damage and heavy metal poisoning.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – Found in flavor additives, these can irritate the eyes, throat, and lungs.
Yeah, you should see the list for cigarettes.
Dizziness and Headaches – This is mostly thanks to nicotine. Here’s why:
Blood Vessel Constriction – Nicotine narrows blood vessels, reducing brain oxygen, causing dizziness and headaches.
Oxygen Deprivation – It speeds up heart rate but lowers oxygen to the brain, leading to lightheadedness.
Dopamine Overload – Nicotine spikes dopamine, then crashes, causing fatigue and headaches.
Dehydration – Vaping dries out your body, triggering headaches.
Nicotine Overdose – Too much nicotine can cause nausea, dizziness, and headaches.
Withdrawal Effects – Cutting back on nicotine leads to headaches, dizziness, and brain fog.
Not a fun time—this is exactly why I quit smoking. That, and the next reason.
Increased Heart Rate and Blood Pressure – Another nicotine-driven issue. The reasons are the same as above.
Dry Mouth and Throat Irritation – Caused by the same chemical compounds responsible for coughing and shortness of breath.
Long-Term Effects:
Heart Issues – Nicotine contributes to high blood pressure and heart disease.
Lung Inflammation – Some studies suggest vaping could cause lung scarring (e.g., “popcorn lung”).
Addiction & Withdrawal – Nicotine is highly addictive, leading to dependence.
Gum Disease & Tooth Decay – Vaping reduces saliva, leading to oral health problems.
Numbers 3 and 4, in my opinion, are the most dangerous vaping and the side effects, especially for younger individuals. I struggled with addiction and stress due to nicotine.
I also had terrible teeth and frequently visited the dentist. While not solely caused by vaping, it was a significant factor.
The reality is, vaping and the side effects are still evolving, and while it’s a harm reduction tool for many, it comes with risks that shouldn’t be ignored.
Conclusion
Vaping and its side effects remain a constantly evolving discussion, with research, industry influence, and public opinion shaping the narrative. While it may be a less harmful alternative to smoking, it’s far from harmless. From environmental concerns to health risks, there are undeniable downsides that shouldn’t be ignored.
At the end of the day, the choice to vape is personal, but it should be an informed one. If you’re considering vaping, weigh the risks carefully, stay updated on new research, and make decisions that align with your health and lifestyle goals. And if you’re already vaping, maybe now’s a good time to rethink whether it’s doing you more harm than good.

March 28, 2025One asks themself, is there even such a thing as the best disposable vape. Well the truth is no, of course not, it all depends on who you are and what you like. Although there are a lot of disposable vapes that fall into that category. This is what we will be going over today.
We will also be taking things like health into consideration, as well as cost, aesthetic appeal and a few others. Reviews will be the main part of this discussion, because at the end of the day, that’s the only thing that matters.
Flavor
Flavor is where we will start. When it comes to smoking anything. You cannot argue that one of the most important factors is flavor. Flavor can make or break a vaping brand, and every single one is different. For example (roast chicken) this is actually a vape flavor, no joke.
This is actually no simple matter. The chemistry is incredibly tricky and is done by “flavorists”. Who are actually chemists. Scientists start by analyzing natural food to see which molecules give off certain flavors. Then they replicate them synthetic compounds of their own.
Once the chemicals have been designed or extracted from the food the next process begins. Since e-liquid flavors need to vaporize well, they dissolve the flavor compounds into a PG (Propylene Glycol) which carries flavor better and VG (Vegetable Glycerin) base, which produces more smoke.
The most popular flavors range from the top, which are mainly basic fruits like (mango, peach, watermelon, lychee) and also combinations like (strawberry lychee, and watermelon dragonfruit)
Then ice flavored vapes falls shortly underneath. Which are mixed with mainly fruit flavors as well. A incredibly popular disposable vape flavor amongst teenagers.
Candy and dessert flavors like (gummy bear, caramel custard, cotton candy) for those who have a sweat tooth, but don’t want to pack on the extra calories.
Beverage and bakery Flavors come after that. Which also fall around the same level as tobacco, menthol, spearmint etc…
This makes the following vapes amongst the best disposable vapes.

Enjoy the perfect blend of juicy berries and refreshing grapes with the Nasty Berry Grape Disposable! Featuring 50mg/ml nicotine, 9,000 puffs, and a rechargeable design, this vape delivers long-lasting, flavor-packed satisfaction. 🔋🚀

Health
The funny part about this topic is that there isn’t much to discuss. Like aliens, the topic of vaping health is extremely large and yet has close to zero evidence of it being unbelievably unhealthy like cigarettes, tobacco and weed are.
There have been many cases brought forward about lungs collapsing, becoming infected and causing pneumonia from vaping. These cases can lead to death and they have. The youngest person to ever die from vaping was a 15-year-old girl.
Vaping is unbelievably addictive though. Since the nicotine is often 5X higher in a vape than it is in a cigarette. So we have gathered a few sources from where you can purchase safe disposable vapes from. Places that have labs for tasting products.
Since the best one can do in these situations is rely on the safety of knowing. Knowing what’s in the products you are smoking. Ensuring the producers aren’t putting anything else in their products, making them more desirable for customers.
Premium Natural & Organic Vape Juice – Kai’s Virgin Vapor

Whether you prioritize flavor, health considerations, aesthetic appeal, or popularity, there’s a vape out there that suits your needs. From fruit-packed blends to sleek designs with high-tech features, the disposable vape market continues to evolve with options for every kind of vaper.
However, it’s always important to be aware of what you’re inhaling and where your vapes come from. Choosing brands with transparent lab testing and high-quality ingredients ensures a safer and more enjoyable experience.

March 25, 2025Disposable Vapes, a beautiful topic to discuss. With an extremely broad spectrum of topics to speak about. This is going to be a blast. We will touch on the categories of disposable vapes, Pro’s and Con’s, History, present and the future of vapes of course!
Interesting Facts
Vaping is astounding, and hits harder than a cigarette sometimes. The reason it packs such a great punch is because some disposable vapes can have up to 50 Cigarettes worth of nicotine inside them.
Once a vape smoker, always a vape smoke. Am I right? apparently not. Once you start to smoke vapes you are 3 times more likely to end up smoking cigarettes. Unbelievable yet true.
Mint and Menthol are the most popular flavor’s amongst vape users. As much as 60% plus young vape smokers have some sort of ice, menthol or mint in the flavor of the vape.
How many people do you think smoke vapes? Well in America there was a study that had shown that more than 20% of their youth smoked vapes.
If you are squeamish, maybe don’t read this one (its a double timer). The youngest person to die of vaping was a 15-year-old girl in Texas and there have also been confirmed over 60 deaths in the US that are vaping related.
Categories which disposable vapes fit into
Not all disposable vapes are the same. There are many different kinds of them. Read below to find out.
Standard
A standard disposable vape is the stereotypical vape that everyone thinks about, and most people buy. You Purchase it for very very little money. You attempt to smoke it, but the truth is your friends end up smoking it for you, helping them to clear their “I’m not a smoker because I dot buy vapes conscious”.
For the most it lasts you three or four days, and you back at the quickie shop to buy another one with the spare change you have left in your pocket.
Theres nothing special about it whatsoever. No features or tools you can play with on the device that will somehow turn it into a plan that you can fly.
Rechargeable, Disposable Vapes
Just saying it is a mouthful. These devices kick it up a notch and save your pocket for a while… right after completely destroying it. I often find these vapes don’t hold their flavor too long. Maybe it’s just me, or maybe it’s because you are smoking, you’re vape dry until there’s nothing you can taste but burnt coil in your mouth.
They are great for holidays or if you aren’t close to the shops, otherwise they are a little odd and risky to tell you the truth.
Disposable Pod Vapes
This vape takes the cake when it comes to confusion. Yes, a disposable vape is still a disposable vape, if you have to keep swapping out the tanks instead of being able to re-fill them. We could compare it to a tomato actually being fruit.
Confusing yet incredibly useful and often the best go to. When good ones are available. Like our good old Nasty 6K puff beauty. they are also rechargeable. You can run into problems with this product as well. Like leaky pods or batteries that aren’t firing correctly after a while.
Pro’s and Con’s
Let’s start with the Pro’s of disposable vapes:
Pros of Disposable Vapes
Convenient, no maintenance required: The very reason as to why everyone gets it. Vape fluid stains by the way (like a lot)
No refilling or charging needed: Lets take that one with a pinch of salt shall we.
Compact and portable: Very true, yet also very true with most other vapes.
No technical knowledge required: Well, that’s an interesting one. Un honestly though, some Mods are really complicated. You do have to have basic understanding oh ohm’s and mAh’s
Wide variety of flavors available: In my personal opinion, the flavors in Disposable Vapes are much tastier.
Ideal for beginners: Or experts
No risk of coil burning: This is a huge one, coils burning are actually something that should be taken seriously. They can damage the lungs tremendously and lead to a lot of really unhealthy problems.
The history of our Disposable Vapes
Disposable vapes all started in 2004 with ex-hale
Early Vape Invention (1960s-2000s)
1963 – Herbert A. Gilbert patented the first “smokeless non-tobacco cigarette.” Sadly, that was something that never got mass produced.
2003 – Hon Lik, a Chinese pharmacist, invented the modern e-cigarette. He was inspired after his father, a heavy smoker who died of lung cancer.
2004 – The first e-cigarette was launched in China by Ruyan, Hon Lik’s company. He got it right, but did has his product saved millions or lives, or is it the reverse.
Rise of Disposable Vapes (2010s-Present)
2010-2015 – Traditional refillable vapes dominated the market, but single-use cigarettes, like Blu and NJOY gained popularity. Sparking more interest in our disposable friends.
2018 – Puff Bar, one of the first mass-produced disposable vape brands, launched in the U.S., leading to a boom in the industry.
2019-2020 – A crackdown on flavored vape pods (like JUUL) in the U.S. led to a surge in disposables since they weren’t initially restricted.
2021-Present – Brands like Elf Bar, Geek Bar, and Lost Mary became major players, driving global disposable vape sales.
The future of disposable vapes
1. Stricter Regulations 🚫📜
Governments worldwide are cracking down on disposable vapes due to youth appeal and environmental concerns. Disposable vapes would take hundreds of years to biodegrade.
Potential bans or heavy restrictions on flavors, nicotine strength, and advertising.
More focus on compliance, with brands adapting to avoid legal issues.
2. Eco-Friendly Innovations 🌍♻️
The biggest criticism of disposables is their environmental impact.
Future models may feature biodegradable materials, recyclable components, or refillable disposable hybrids.
Some companies are working on battery return programs to reduce e-waste.
3. Advanced Technology & Customization ⚙️🚀
Smart vapes with app connectivity, tracking nicotine intake. Tracking nicotine is what would probably be the biggest evolution of smoking ever since it was invented!
Adjustable airflow and customizable nicotine strength in disposables.
4. Market Shift & Consumer Trends 📈
More nicotine-free and health-conscious alternatives (CBD, herbal, and vitamin-infused vapes). The day when smoking becomes healthy, something you can do that would improve your weel being.
High-end disposables with better coil technology for improved flavor consistency.
5. The Big Question: Survival or Decline? 🤔
If governments ban disposables outright, the market could shrink or go underground.
If innovation keeps up, eco-friendly, smart, and customizable disposables could dominate the future.
Either way, convenience will always drive demand, ensuring some form of disposable vaping sticks around.
Final Thoughts: The Future of Disposable Vapes
Disposable vapes have carved out a massive space in the smoking industry, evolving from a niche alternative to traditional cigarettes into a global phenomenon. Their convenience, variety, and accessibility have made them wildly popular, but they also face growing scrutiny due to health concerns, youth appeal, and environmental impact.
As regulations tighten and consumer preferences shift, the future of disposables remains uncertain. Will they adapt to be more sustainable and tech-savvy, or will they face widespread bans and disappear from the market?

March 18, 2025While there are so many Vape tricks out there and more being made as we speak. There are plenty one can learn with ease. So we will be splitting this post up into three different categories, making it easier to place yourself in a field at which you can learn in.
Easy, medium and hard are going to be those levels. We will also discuss what types of vape fluid and vapes work best for this and the type of environment in which you practice. This used to be one of my favorite pass time hobbies.
What Works Best
The tools you need
Device:
The device you use plays a critical role, smaller disposable vapes are not going to be the key. Something with a little more power. Ideally mods work the best, something you can optimize, build your own coils and prepare your own Chinese cotton for.
The larger the coil the better, this will give off more smoke. Make sure your coil isn’t too hot though, your don’t want to be inhaling any burnt foreign objects.
Here are some of our best devices we would recommend:
Ghost Galaxy
Nasty Neo
Oxva Nexlim
🔹 Coil Resistance: 0.15Ω – 0.3Ω (Sub-ohm for more vapor, but not ultra-low to avoid fast burnout.)🔹 Wattage: 50W – 80W (Enough power for thick clouds, but not so high that it fries the coil.)🔹 Airflow: Wide open (More air = cooler vape & bigger clouds.)🔹 Puff Technique: Long, slow draws (Fast, hard pulls heat the coil too much.)
Flavor/juice:
This is also essential to get right. VG (vegetable glycerin) and PG (Propelyn Glycol). These two bad boys depend on your much smoke or flavor your going to get. VG is your cloud maker, more dense clouds and smooth on the throat, making it the key ingredient.
PG is the one that carries all the flavor, creates thinner clouds and can be rather harsh on the throat which some people enjoy (only if you’re casually smoking though)
so, you’re looking for an 80/20 VG/PG or a 70/30 VG/PG.
Environment
A still cold room works best for smoke tricks with very little to no airflow. What really works is when you fill up the room with smoke before you start, this allows you to see where the room is the most still. After a while of practicing and filling up the room with smoke, there’s something really fun you can do.
Let all the smoke rest and you will see the smoke bank up in the room. A fascinating sight.
✅ No Wind or Airflow – Even a slight breeze can ruin O’s and other tricks. Indoors is usually best.✅ Good Lighting – A dark background with a strong light source (like LED or natural light from the side) makes the smoke pop.✅ Cooler Air – Warm air rises too quickly, dispersing the smoke faster. A slightly cool room helps keep the smoke thick.✅ Closed Space – A small room with minimal ventilation keeps the smoke dense for longer.✅ Clean Air – Avoid areas with fans, AC vents, or open windows that disrupt the smoke’s movement.
Easy
Vape Smoke Tricks
How to Do the Waterfall Vape Trick
Take a Long Drag – Inhale a good amount of vapor but hold it in your mouth, not your lungs (like how you’d hold water in your mouth).
Keep Your Mouth Closed – Don’t exhale yet; let the vapor sit in your mouth.
Slowly Open Your Mouth – Let the vapor naturally “fall” out of your mouth.
Guide It with Your Hand or an Object – To make it look even cooler, let the vapor flow over a flat surface (like a table or bottle) to help create the cascading effect.
Dragon Breath
Effect: Blows smoke out of both nostrils and the sides of your mouth, making you look like a dragon.How to do it:
Take a big inhale and keep the vapor in your mouth.
Exhale through your nose while also pushing the vapor out of both sides of your mouth.
Don’t let the vapor go straight forward—keep your lips slightly closed on the front.
Ghost Inhale
Effect: Looks like you release a little ghost of vapor, then suck it back in.How to do it:
Take a big pull and hold the vapor in your mouth.
Open your mouth slightly and let the vapor slowly “ball up” and drift out.
Quickly inhale it back in with a sharp breath.
Medium
Vape smoke Tricks
The Tornado
Effect: Creates a swirling smoke vortex on a flat surface.How to do it: Take a deep pull and try your best not to fill your lungs up with air but more of your mouth and throat. Then slowly tilt your head onto its side and lye it on the table. slowly push the smoke out with your breath so it merely falls onto the table.
Lift your head slowly, flatten your hand so much that it almost looks like its bending backwards. Place your hand in the middle of the smoke on the table, on its side with the pinky side on the table. Make a jerking movement of your hand moving a little to the left or right and upward VERY FAST!
Take a deep drag and gently blow the vapor onto a table in a thick layer.
Use your hand to flick upward in a quick motion, creating a spinning effect.
Works best in still air and on a smooth surface.
Take a few times to get right, watch this video.
Step-by-Step Guide to Blowing O’s
Inhale Deeply
Take a big pull from you’re vape, but hold the vapor in your mouth, not your lungs.
Shape Your Mouth
Form your lips into an O shape—not too wide or too tight.
Keep your tongue pulled back toward your throat.
Control Your Exhale
There are three methods to push out the O’s:
✅ Cough Method (Best for Beginners)
Make a small, controlled cough from your throat (not your chest).
This little push forces the vapor out in a ring shape.
✅ Tongue Flick Method (More Precision)
Push out short bursts of vapor using your tongue like a piston.
Slightly push your tongue forward while exhaling short puffs.
✅ Jaw-Pop Method (Advanced)
Drop your jaw slightly while exhaling in quick, controlled bursts.
This is what pros use for bigger, cleaner rings.
Adjust & Practice
Too fast? The O will be weak and fade quickly.
Too slow? The O won’t form properly.
Try different angles by adjusting your lips and exhale strength.
The jaw method is what I find easiest and works best for me, although the slight cough method is by far the most effective if you are going to be doing it more often and professionally compounded with other tricks.
Small fast o rings
This is extremely similar to normal ones, except follow these instructions.
Keep it strictly in your mouth
Inhale all the smoke into your mouth, keep the tongue at the back with a small hole to the throat allowing airflow.
Smaller o shaped lips
Create a tiny o shape with your lips and try stick them as much out as possible (tightening your cheeks)
Drum your cheek
Now your going to use your finger or the vape to tap your cheek to make small o rings. The mouth acts like a drum, pushing bursts of air out at a time. Once you have learnt how to do this, you can go really fast and it can look incredibly impressive.
Hard
Vape smoke Tricks
The Jellyfish (Ghost O)
How to do it: This is basically the perfect O with smoke blown slightly through it, easy yet hard at the same time.
Blow a big, slow O-ring forward.
Immediately take a small puff and gently push the vapor through the center of the ring.
The ring will expand while the second puff creates the “jellyfish body.”
💡 Pro Tip: Push the second cloud forward slowly for a cleaner effect.
The Lasso
Effect: A smaller ring passes through a larger one, looping it like a lasso.How to do it: This is unbelievably hard and yet if you have the skill can be doable in the first few tries if you know how to blow o rings.
Blow a big, slow-moving O-ring.
Quickly blow a second, smaller O through the center.
The second ring will pull the first into a loop effect.
💡 Pro Tip: Move forward slightly with the second O for a better effect.
That guy does some mad cool vape tricks.
Final Thoughts: Mastering the Art of Vape Tricks
Vape tricks are an awesome blend of skill, technique, and creativity. Whether you’re just starting out with easy moves like the Ghost Inhale or pushing your limits with advanced tricks like the Jellyfish, there’s always something new to learn.
The key is patience, practice, and the right setup—a solid vape mod, high-VG juice, and a still environment make all the difference. The more you experiment, the better your control over vapor, airflow, and timing will become.
So grab your vape, find a chill spot, and start perfecting your tricks. Who knows? With enough dedication, you might just be the next viral vape trick artist. Happy cloud chasing! 💨🔥 [...]

March 11, 2025What is a CBD Disposable Vape Pen?
When it comes to vaping, there’s no denying that the options are endless. Vape pens come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and technologies, from the simple, sleek designs to ones equipped with touch screens, decorative lights, puff counters, and even smart-watch capabilities like playing music and answering calls.
The vaping world seems to be constantly evolving, and with new features, it’s anyone’s guess what will come next. But amid all this excitement, one thing remains clear: CBD disposable vape pens are becoming a popular choice for those seeking quick and convenient relief.
In this post, we’ll dive deep into the world of CBD disposable vape pens, explore how they work, why people buy them, their potential effects, and the pros and cons that come along with them. Let’s start by answering the key question.
What is a CBD disposable vape pen?
A CBD disposable vape pen is a one-time-use vaping device that comes pre-filled with CBD oil. Unlike traditional vape pens that require refilling and a rechargeable battery, disposable CBD pens are ready to use right out of the box and are designed for single-use before being discarded. These pens are ideal for those looking to experience the calming and therapeutic effects of CBD without the hassle of maintaining or refilling their device.
Always remember the effect that disposables have on the environment. How long is it going to take for these products to biodegrade. They suffocate the ocean, pollute our waters and cover our holiday beaches. Not to mention effect millions of animals.
Why Do People Buy CBD Disposable Vape Pens?
CBD disposable vape pens have gained popularity for several reasons. Some people are drawn to them because they offer fast-acting relief, while others appreciate the convenience and portability. Here’s why you might consider buying a CBD disposable vape pen:
Quick Onset of EffectsCBD vapes, particularly disposable pens, provide one of the fastest ways to experience the effects of CBD. Unlike CBD edibles, which take time to pass through the digestive system, vaping delivers CBD directly to your lungs, where it enters the bloodstream almost immediately. Whether you’re looking for quick relief from stress, anxiety, or chronic pain, a disposable CBD vape pen can offer fast, efficient results.
Convenience and DiscreetnessThe main attraction of a CBD disposable vape pen is its portability and ease of use. These pens are small, lightweight, and discreet. You can easily slip one into your pocket or bag without anyone noticing. They’re perfect for people who are on the go and want to enjoy the benefits of CBD without drawing attention. Whether you’re at a social event, traveling, or simply relaxing at home, you can easily take a quick puff without anyone knowing.
Effective for Stress, Anxiety, and Pain ReliefCBD has long been known for its calming and therapeutic properties. Whether you’re looking to manage stress, reduce anxiety, or alleviate pain and inflammation, a CBD disposable vape pen could be an excellent solution. Many people turn to CBD for its natural ability to relax the mind and body without the psychoactive effects of THC. It’s an easy and enjoyable way to experience relief without the fear of getting “high.”
Variety of FlavorsOne of the fun things about using CBD vape pens is the variety of flavors available. Disposable CBD vape pens often come in a range of delicious options, from fruity flavors like mango and strawberry to more earthy options like hemp or mint. This adds an enjoyable element to the process, making it more appealing to those who are new to vaping or prefer to mix things up with their CBD experience.
How Much Do CBD Disposable Vape Pens Cost?
The cost of a CBD disposable vape pen can vary widely depending on the brand, quality of CBD oil, and additional features. On average, you can expect to pay:
Disposable CBD Vapes: Typically cost between $20 – $50 for a single-use pen. The price may fluctuate depending on the amount of CBD in the pen and the quality of the ingredients.
Premium Disposable Pens: High-end disposable CBD pens, with more potent or refined CBD oil and additional features like enhanced design or longer-lasting battery life, can cost anywhere from $50 – $100.
The upfront cost of a CBD disposable vape pen may seem a bit high compared to other methods of consuming CBD, but the ease of use and speed of relief often justify the investment.
The Effects of Using a CBD Disposable Vape Pen
Now that we’ve covered what CBD disposable vape pens are and why people use them, let’s explore the effects they can have. CBD vapes work by delivering cannabidiol into your system through inhalation, offering a range of potential benefits. Here are a few of the common effects people report:
Relaxation and Stress ReliefCBD is well-known for its relaxing effects. Many people use CBD disposable vape pens to unwind after a long day, help manage daily stress, or reduce feelings of anxiety. The calming effects are often felt quickly, which is why vaping CBD is an ideal option for those seeking fast relief.
Improved Focus and ClaritySome people find that using a CBD vape pen helps them concentrate and stay focused. Unlike THC, which can impair cognitive function, CBD is non-psychoactive and may provide a clear-headed sense of calm, making it ideal for those needing mental clarity during the day.
Pain and Inflammation ReliefCBD’s anti-inflammatory properties make it a great option for people suffering from chronic pain, muscle soreness, or conditions like arthritis. Vaping CBD allows for quick delivery to the bloodstream, which may help manage pain or inflammation more effectively than other methods of consumption.
Pros of CBD Disposable Vape Pens
CBD disposable vape pens offer several advantages. Some of the most notable pros include:
Fast AbsorptionInhalation allows the CBD to be absorbed almost immediately into the bloodstream, making the effects feel fast and effective. You won’t have to wait around for your CBD to take effect, which is ideal if you’re in need of quick relief.
Portability and DiscreetnessSince CBD disposable vape pens are small and easy to use, they’re perfect for those who need a quick and discreet way to consume CBD. Whether you’re at work, on the go, or out with friends, a vape pen allows you to take your CBD with you without anyone noticing.
Easy to UseWith a disposable vape pen, you don’t have to worry about refilling or maintaining the device. Simply open the package, start vaping, and when it’s done, toss it away. The simplicity makes it a great option for first-time users or those who prefer a hassle-free experience.
Cons of CBD Disposable Vape Pens
Despite their many benefits, there are some cons to keep in mind when it comes to CBD disposable vape pens:
Health Risks of VapingWhile vaping itself has been popular for years, it still comes with certain health risks. Some experts have raised concerns about the potential damage vaping could cause to lung health, especially with long-term use. While CBD itself is considered safe, it’s important to remember that the long-term effects of vaping are still not fully understood.
Shorter Duration of EffectsOne downside of vaping CBD is that the effects tend to wear off quicker than with other methods like edibles or oils. This means that you may need to vape more frequently to maintain the desired effects.
PriceWhile disposable CBD vape pens are convenient, they can add up quickly if you’re using them regularly. For daily users, this can become a more expensive habit compared to other methods of consuming CBD, like tinctures or capsules.
Quality ControlSince the CBD vape market is less regulated compared to other industries, the quality of disposable CBD vape pens can vary. Not all pens are created equal, and some might contain harmful additives or lower-quality CBD oil. Always check for third-party lab results to ensure you’re getting a clean, high-quality product.
Conclusion:
So, what is a CBD disposable vape pen? It’s a convenient, fast-acting way to experience the calming effects of CBD. While they offer an easy solution for stress, anxiety, pain, and more, there are some risks to consider, particularly when it comes to lung health and the quality of the vape juice.
If you decide to try one out, make sure you’re purchasing from a reputable brand, and remember to use it responsibly. Whether you’re using a disposable CBD vape pen for a quick stress-relieving puff or to help with chronic pain, they’re an efficient and enjoyable way to experience the benefits of CBD. [...]

February 26, 2025Pocket Vape / Efficiency is Best
Welcome to Vape Cafe! Today, we’re diving into the world of pocket vapes, those sleek, compact devices that deliver a solid hit while staying discreet. With so many options, styles, and factors to consider, it can feel like an endless rabbit hole. But don’t worry, we’re cutting through the noise to find the best of the best.
Factors to Consider:
Size:
Size is a personal choice. Technically, most vapes are designed to fit in your pocket—but let’s be real, a true pocket vape should be discreet, easy to access, and definitely not loud enough to announce itself to the whole room.
Quality:
Quality is key when picking any vape. Unlike other products, vapes within the same category often fall into a similar price range. So, it’s all about experience, knowing what to look for, and avoiding common pitfalls. Does it leak in your pocket? Does it keep burning after you’ve taken a hit? How long does the battery actually last? These are the crucial questions that separate the good from the bad.
Quantity:
Vapes are getting more powerful and lasting longer—jumping from 5,000 puffs to a whopping 40,000. So, what kind of vaper are you? If you’re a heavy user, you might need something with a larger tank to keep you going throughout the day. On the other hand, if you’re only replacing your small vape once a week, then a compact option with fewer puffs might work just fine.
There’s nothing worse than realizing your vape is dead when you’re in a meeting or miles away from a store. A reliable pocket vape should give you a heads-up before it runs out of juice—because no one likes an unexpected dry hit.
Pocket Vape Possibilities
I am going to be splitting this up between Disposables and Device.
Since I know we all have a strong preference when it comes to which we think has more Pros & Cons.
Devices
Nasty 5K puff Device:
5000 Puffs average
Sleek and portable
Ergonomic design
Unique pleasure
Perfectly pocketable
This is by far one of my favorites. The handle has an incredible number of uses. You can tie the vape to something and have it attached to a clip or carabiner on your pocket. The device itself has a good long charge. You can swap out flavors to your liking, as you can purchase separate pods for it. The best part being the size, which is incredibly small, discrete and fits into any pocket.
Airscream Pro Starter Kite Lite
Sleek and Light weight
Smooth Airflow technology
Reliable battery life
Comes in your choice of color
The Airscream brand reigns over the vaping world in a big way. As being one of the first solid reliable vapes to come out, which had also been more affordable than the other. They give you a good number of options when it comes to devices, flavors and colors. Like Blue, white, 2X green, grey, pink etc.
I vouch strongly for this brand because of the growth I’ve seen it been through. From making the first good looking that honestly did have its problems. They consistently came out with better versions and problem solved all of the device’s errors and came out with an incredible product.
Refillable Pods
Oxva Xlim Go 0.8ohms
900mAh Battery for extended vaping life
Adjustable airflow
USB-C type fast charger
Magnetic pods
Draw activated for easy use
This device sits more on the quality end of factors. High priced yet fantastic in every way. This is the new generation of vaping. There really is no other need for other vapes when it comes to the Oxva. They have a new device coming out soon as well which will be released on our website.
Just checkout their online page OXVA | Leading with Innovation and Best Flavors. This product really is the face of innovation. Although the one downside is that this falls slightly out of the pocket vape range. With a slightly bulkier feel to it. No lack in choice either though when it comes to colors. Click the title link and browse through all the colors for fun.
Here are the pods they come with Oxva Xlim Cartridge EZ 0.8Ω (3pcs) – Vape Café
Disposables
Nasty 9K puff 5% Nic Salt
High potency, smooth & bold
Long use and rechargeable
Compact & portable size
Nasty took over the market so quickly it was unbelievable. Over the span of two-three months. Every vaper I knew had a Nasty disposable vape, including me. A stunning product that has incredible flavors and a good variety of them as well.
They display your battery percentage as well which helps a ton. They also came with stickers that you can put on your phone, laptop or wherever. This isn’t the most discrete, yet it is the most reliable pocket vape disposable there is.
Airpops 3ml 5% Disposable
Perfectly Pocket Vape
Incredibly flavorful
Affordable
Discrete and Reliable
Airscream did it again and as usual they did it first. Coming out with the disposable, I never knew any other brand to do it first other than Airscream. Making their pockets heavy, while at the same time not making our pockets too light. With a vast range of flavors and colors.
The are the ultimate secret weapon when it comes to needing a secret puff here and there. Nobody can see you smoke this product, and it fits into every pocket.
Bewolk Black battery & disposable flavors
Spoilt for choice
Reliable & easy to use
Top quality flavor
Screen display purchase option
Crowd favorite
Like a Toyota Cross. This device identifies as a disposable and a device. You cannot refill your pods, yet you can swap them out. With a battery that just keeps giving and the option of smoking a 2% or 5% nicotine, the choice is always yours.
The device is small enough for the pockets and sleek enough to look good in public. I say this is a crowd favorite because people often choose this disposable over the rest. Even though its pricier, the quality is undeniable fanominal.
Conclusion
Purchasing a vape actually isn’t as easy as it seems and shouldn’t be a on the spot decision. To make the right choice you need to do the research and sometimes unfortunately you also have to just try things out. A process of elimination s going to be the winning method in every situation. Remember to always look after your vapes and dispose of them properly.
Thanks very much for reading this post, have a smoking day and remember to visit us for updates in the smoking game.
