Welcome to the Vaping World!
If you’re new to vaping, you may be feeling a little overwhelmed by all the jargon. Don’t worry, we’re here to help! In this blog post, we’ll explain some of the most common vaping terms in a way that’s easy to understand.
What is Vaping?
Vaping is the act of inhaling an aerosol produced by an electronic cigarette (e-cig) or similar device. E-cigs work by heating a liquid, known as e-liquid, which typically contains nicotine, flavourings, and other chemicals. The heated liquid then produces an aerosol that the user inhales.
Why Vaping?
People vape for a variety of reasons. Some people vape as a way to quit smoking, while others vape because they enjoy the flavours and the social aspect of vaping. Vaping can also be a way to get your nicotine fix without all the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes.
Vaping Jargon
Now that you know what vaping is, let’s take a look at some of the most common vaping terms.
- APV:Â An advanced personal vaporizer is a more advanced type of e-cig that offers more features and customization options than a traditional e-cig.
- Atomizer:Â The atomizer is the part of the e-cig that heats the e-liquid and produces the aerosol.
- Battery:Â The battery powers the atomizer and the e-cig.
- Boiler:Â Another name for the atomizer.
- Coil:Â The coil is a piece of metal that heats up the e-liquid in the atomizer.
- Drip Tip:Â The drip tip is the mouthpiece of the e-cig.
- E-liquid: E-liquid is the liquid that is heated in the atomizer to produce the aerosol. E-liquid typically contains nicotine, flavourings, and other chemicals.
- Mod:Â A mod is a type of APV that is typically larger and more powerful than a traditional e-cig. Mods offer more features and customization options than traditional e-cigs.
- Nicotine Salts:Â Nicotine salts are a type of nicotine that is absorbed more quickly by the body than traditional nicotine. This makes nicotine salts a good option for people who are trying to quit smoking.
- Pod Mod:Â A pod mod is a type of APV that is small and portable. Pod mods typically use pre-filled pods that contain e-liquid.
- RDA:Â An RDA, or rebuildable dripping atomizer, is a type of atomizer that allows the user to build their own coils. RDAs offer more customization options than other types of atomizers.
- RTA:Â An RTA, or rebuildable tank atomizer, is a type of atomizer that allows the user to build their own coils and wicks. RTAs offer more customization options than other types of atomizers.
- Sub-Ohm:Â Sub-ohm vaping is a type of vaping where the atomizer coil resistance is below 1 ohm. Sub-ohm vaping produces more vapor than traditional vaping.
- Tank:Â A tank is a device that holds the e-liquid. Tanks are typically used with APVs and pod mods.
- Wick:Â The wick is a piece of material that absorbs the e-liquid and transports it to the coil.
- Wire:Â The wire is the material that is used to make the coil.
