Beginners Guide to Vaping

🌬️ Beginner’s Guide to Vaping (UK): How to Start Vaping Safely

Thinking about switching to vaping? Our beginner’s guide explains how vaping works, what to buy, and how to choose the right e-liquid. Expert tips from your trusted, friendly vape shop — Valhalla Vapes.

💨 What Is Vaping?

Vaping is the act of inhaling vapour produced by an e-cigarette or vape device. Instead of burning tobacco, a vape heats a flavoured e-liquid to create vapour — giving you nicotine (if you choose) without the tar, ash, or smoke associated with traditional cigarettes.

Most e-liquids contain:

• Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerine (VG) — base ingredients that create vapour
• Flavourings — from tobacco and menthol to fruity, dessert, and drink flavours
• Nicotine (optional) — available in various strengths, including nicotine salts for a smoother experience

⚙️ How Do Vape Kits Work?

All vape kits, whether simple pod style devices, prefilled kits or advanced mods, work in the same basic way:

1. Battery: Powers the device
2. Tank or Pod: Holds the e-liquid
3. Coil: Heats the e-liquid to create vapour
4. Mouthpiece: Where you inhale

When you inhale or press the power button, the coil heats the e-liquid and produces vapour for a smooth, satisfying puff.

🧠 Choosing Your First Vape Kit

If you’re new to vaping, start simple. The best vape kits for beginners are:

• Pre-filled Pod Vapes: Ready to use, no charging or refilling. Ideal for first-time vapers.

🧴 Choosing the Right E-Liquid

Your e-liquid determines the flavour, throat hit, and nicotine strength of your vape. Here’s what to look for:

Nicotine Strength Guide:

• 3mg – light smokers
• 6–12mg – moderate smokers
• 18–20mg – heavy smokers or ex-smokers

PG/VG Ratio:

• Higher PG (e.g. 50/50) = stronger throat hit, sharper flavour
• Higher VG (e.g. 70/30 ) = smoother inhale, bigger vapour clouds
• 50/50 blends = best for beginners and pod systems

✅ Vaping Safely

Vaping is considered a less harmful alternative to smoking, but it’s still important to vape safely:

• Buy only genuine vape products from reputable UK retailers.
• Always use the correct charger for your device.
• Replace coils regularly for clean flavour.
• Store e-liquids away from children and pets.
