Not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s this wildly popular pod-based e-cigarette that’s been taking America by storm for the past couple of years. It’s called the Juul, and it’s a big deal. Here’s the rundown for those of you committed enough to vaping to read a blog on a vaping e-commerce site, but somehow […]
Aspire Cleito: A Naming Case Study Look, it's news to precisely no one that the world of vaping is littered with weird naming conventions. From Asmodus to Zelos, you'll be hard-pressed to find a name that won't tangle a few tongues now and again. One name that seems to give people more trouble than most […]
"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten" – Benjamin Franklin Franklin is very well known for some of his insightful quotes, I never thought we'd be using one to highlight the downside of using cheap eliquid – but here we are. How Cheap Is Cheap? The market […]
Congratulations! If you’re reading this, it’s probably because you’ve decided to stop smoking tobacco and switch over to vaping. In which case, welcome. We’re glad to have you. Unfortunately, if you’ve spent any time in the vaping world, you may have realised that the sheer variety of the ecosystem can make it a little bewildering […]
Vaping occupies a sort of middle ground between harmless outdoor activities, like knocking back a cold Irn Bru on a hot day, and more regulated stuff, like smoking tobacco. Oftentimes it tends to be lumped in with smoking, forcing vape users back into the same space as smokers&emdash;which is what we’re trying to get away […]
Fewer people are smoking today than at any other time since we started importing tobacco from the colonies and lost our collective minds over the stuff. Well, fewer than at any other time since we started keeping track of how many people smoked, anyway. That’s great news! Funny thing is, ever since vaping really took […]
As the world of vaping matures, a smaller and smaller proportion of people who vape are considered ‘new’. For sure, there are still a good deal of new vape users, but the numbers of old hands at vaping are growing and growing. And with them, the insatiable vaping desire for newer and newer kicks. In […]
Well, it's summertime. The sun is shining through the windows at Vapour HQ and we're longing to get outside to take advantage of the most blessed time of the year. We're talking barbecues, beer gardens, and that most quintessential of summertime fun: travel to the Mediterranean for a bit of spirited good living. But hold […]
It’s Power Time. We’re taking a look at some of the most powerful tanks on the market today. The ones that drive huge clouds and drain shortfills in like 2.8 seconds. The ones that drive Lamborghinis and steal yo girl. The ones that prompt drivers behind to reach for their fog lights. But before we […]
Look. It was only a matter of time before we faced down the Juul. And honestly, we’re a little sorry that we didn’t tackle it earlier. But Juul is a teen thing and we’re all grandmothers here at Vapour so we hope we can be forgiven for our tardiness. So let’s get the elephant out […]
Before we get started, we want to warn you that we’re entering into a foggy realm. On the first page of Google’s search results you’ll find no less than six different opinions on the length of life of Aspire’s Nautilus coils. Some people swear by Cleitos, others claim to have vaped for 4 and a […]
“Another ‘best-of’ eliquid list, huh?” We can hear you already. And we’re ready to acknowledge that vaping is a super subjective, uh, subject. So ‘Best Eliquids of 2018’ is like running an post called ‘Best Food of 2018’. Everyone’s taste differs, so the fact that this list runs pretty light on tobacco flavours, for example, […]
Would you look at us. We’re all about the ongoing series (serieses?). This is a follow-up on a post from a few weeks ago where we questioned whether e-cigarettes are encouraging kids to smoke, which was, itself, a follow-up to two other myths busted. Or semi-busted. In the intervening time, a bit more evidence has […]
Well it’s April already. It feels like only yesterday we were writing our post about your vaping new year’s resolution, and here we are, a third of the way through the year already. If you’re feeling like your resolution is flagging and you’re drifting back towards tobacco, maybe it’s time to get involved with VApril. […]
Late last week, the Daily Mail, not known for being particularly friendly to the e-cigarette industry (and a dubious source for science in general1), published a short article, not available online, on the recent guidance update published by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE (that’s their name, not a comment on how […]
Welcome back to the Vapour Mythbusting Power Hour, part 3. If you haven’t read our first part, (toxic metals in vape coils???) or our second part, (formaldehyde production in eliquid???), then go do so. It’s informative and it really helps out our SEO. Today we’re going to take on the oft-cited claim that children are […]
The claim that eliquid contains formaldehyde is about as old as vaping itself. It’s echoed by tabloids and aspiring investigative journalists looking for a big scoop about something gaining popularity in modern society. It’s echoed by a few regulators, and a couple of mothers who worry that their kids are vaping out behind the estate, […]
You may have read, sometime last week, about vaping coils leaching toxic metals into eliquid. It was pretty big news in certain circles, and everyone from The Sun to Mashable decided to run with the story. And why wouldn’t they? It’s an easy story to write and it’s ostensibly for the public good. It also […]
