Is Vaping Cheaper Than Smoking?

The Variables One of the questions I get asked quite often by smokers looking to quit is whether vaping is actually cheaper than smoking?

What are your social habits i.e. are you down the pub every ev...

The Beginner Series – Part 4 – Juice & Nicotine

The most subjective element in vaping. One thing that I’ve found to be a common, but not exclusive, is that new vapers always want a tobacco flavour vape but within a couple of days they’ve switched to a fruity more shisha like flavour. That’s probably because smokers want to smoke. Until they’ve quit, and not had a cigarette for a least 2-3 days, they can’t smell the difference. Reading descripti...

The Beginner Series – Part 3 – Type of Vape

e-Cigarette: These look like cigarettes though the traditional white part of the cigarette is the battery (USB rechargeable usually) and the traditional filter part is the cartridge containing the liquid and atomiser. No buttons to push to activate usually, just smoke as you normally would and the tip should light up and you get a hit of vape. Vape Pens: Moving away from what the cigarette looks l...

The Beginner Series – Part 1 – Why Vape & Subjectiveness

Whether you are a smoker thinking of quitting or just a bystander walking past plumes of unnatural clouds, you’ve undoubtedly heard something about vaping.

528 Customs Goon 22 – Bigger isn’t better!

  The Goon 22 You often see companies release variations of whatever is their most popular product. Seemingly this is the case here, following the success of the Goon 24mm RDA designed by Instagrammer @BlueEyedGoon83 (hence the name), 528 Customs release their 22mm RDA variation. Does it live up to the 24 and stand on it’s own or does it fall over on it’s face? Good news 22mm fans, it’s a cra...

R. For years I’ve been looking to kick the habit of smoking, and I’ve tried all the available aids to help stop. Patches, mints, chewing gum, spray’s, weird asthma pump looking like things… ultimately all the aids couldn’t kick the habit. Boiling down to one explanation, I have no will power. Being surrounded in social circle where everyone smokes doesn’t make i...
