In order for us to stop smoking cigarettes, we need to find the right vape devices to allow us to do so. This will be critical because if we are looking to quit cigarettes and decide to buy any e-cigarette products out there just to find a quick substitute, then this could lead us back to cigarettes due to issues and poor performances from the e-cig devices. To achieve this, we must know what we are to trying to obtain by switching to a new method of inhalation. Our cigarette habits are mostly due to a habit of blowing out smoke, finding something to keep us busy when standing around, getting light-headed, getting the nicotine sensation, or using nicotine to give us more focus. Do we prefer something too strong or something smooth? Obtaining a throat hit? Getting lots of smoke?

Thanks to the world’s improving technology; e-cig has been getting better than ever. It is allowing us to vape at the highest level with different ways of vaping. So to the point of having a perfect set up, we need to understand an e-cig. The breakdown of electronic cigarette consists of 2 main components, which is a battery and an atomizer. The battery is what powers the atomizer. The atomizer is what heats up the e-liquid and it is the most important factor in obtaining a good vape/hit.

The atomizer contains coils, wicks or cotton, and it connects directly to the battery to power up the atomizer. Depending on the smoker, if we are trying to get a harsh throat hit, we would need to find an atomizer tank capable of delivering a good throat. The resistance of the atomizer is a very important factor in delivering the hit. It could lead to thicker vapor or more of a throat hit with less vapor. We must find a tank that is capable delivering nicotine and vapor at a consistent level. There are hundreds of different types of atomizer tank out there to choose from and finding the right one will require a lot of research.

Air hole sizes can be a factor in choosing the right tank, the bigger the air hole, the bigger the clouds. Smaller air hole will give us a better throat hit, but it all depends on preference. Are we just trying to get a throat hit or are we cloud chasing? But most of the new tanks have adjustable airflow control (Kanger Aerotank) which allows us to choose the air hole size by adjusting the dial. Another important factor is making sure that the tank we are about to purchase does not leak, which can leave us feeling sticky from the e-liquid leaking out to our hands and clothes. Researching the product will give us a broader idea of which tanks leak and which ones does not. The types of wicks can be another factor in choosing our atomizer tank. Newer tanks are using Japanese cotton (Kanger Subtank Mini) for better flavoring. The ease of filling up the tank can help determine which tanks are suitable for us but these factors are not a big issue. The tank capacity will be a good element because maybe some of us might prefer a smaller capacity so we are able to change different e-liquid or a bigger capacity so we don’t have to keep filling up the tank. Of course, the bigger the tank capacity, the bigger size the tank would be. There are many factors in determining the right tank, but these should be the main factors in finding the perfect tank.

The next step in choosing a perfect setup is determining the battery to power up the atomizer tank. We can go with a simple eGo style battery (Vision Spinner, SLB eGo-V V2 Mega), or go with a variable wattage box mod (Eleaf iStick 30W, Innokin iTaste MVP 3.0). As for features, the box mod will be a better choice but it will require more knowledge about the device. Most box mods will require an external battery and they are much larger to carry around. But an eGo style battery, it is much easier to use and carry around. eGo batteries limit the type of atomizer it can be used with, whereas box mods are compatible with many tanks. The typical batteries will produce 3.7V output which is usually good enough to help produce good vapors for the atomizer. Variable wattage and voltage batteries are suitable if we are trying to find the perfect vape with the ability to adjust the amount of power delivered to the atomizer. It all depends on the users; some will like something simple and easy to carry while other likes something more advance with a better appearance and experience.

To make it easier for us to find a perfect setup, going with a starter kit is the best way to go. Starter kits usually include the tank and the battery, also with accessories such as charger and extra coils. The atomizer tank and the battery go hand in hand perfect to start vaping found in starter kits. There many different starter kits out there from basic eGo starter kit (Kangertech eVod Stater Kit, Aspire Premium Kit) to advanced starter kit (Joyetech eVic-VT Starter Kit, Kanger Subox Mini Starter Kit). Basic starter kits are easy to use and maintain with simple appearance and easy to carry around while the more advanced starter kits would require more knowledge with a flashier appearance, and it would be bigger. Still with the advanced and modern starter kits, beginners would be able to use it by reading details about the product and through test and trial. Of course using it incorrectly can be damaging to the product or us. So we must study our products before doing anything irrational when we are using advanced vape devices.

Researching is the key to finding the perfect start up vape setup. Google is a great library in helping us understand each product before we purchase, and understanding the effectiveness of the different type of batteries, atomizer tanks, and mods. Of course, there is more to it than what was stated on this blog, but knowing the basic will help us understand what we need to start vaping. Bad devices will lead us back to cigarettes because it will frustrate us and light up a cigarette does not require any knowledge, but a fire. Quitting cigarettes will not be easy but when we find a great vape device, it will truly help us stay away from tobacco because we will enjoy it with tasteful flavors while getting our nicotine addiction and habits in.
