What is vaping?
Vaping is simply the act of using a personal vaping device (aka electronic cigarette, aka ecig or ecigarette.) Whether you use a little device that looks like a cigarette (cigalike), a slightly larger pen-style device, a mechanical mod, or anything in between, the term "vaping" applies.
How similar is "vaping" to smoking?
While you don't have to "light up" because there is no burning involved, the act of vaping is quite similar to smoking. You still satisfy the hand-to-mouth habit as well as the feeling of inhaling and exhaling something. You also receive the satisfaction of the nicotine that you may crave. Vaping only carries a small fraction of the risks associated with smoking since there is no combustion and only a handful of ingredients (propylene glycol, glycerine, flavouring, nicotine) compared to the thousands of chemicals found in cigarettes. With vaping, you can tailor your nicotine levels and flavours to your satisfaction in order to make transitioning away from smoking more successful.
Can I quit smoking by vaping?
The short answer is "probably" and basically the majority of our customers already have. While vaping Is not officially considered by government to be a smoking cessation method, Health Canada now recognizes that it can help and there are many, millions of people around the world that have quit smoking by replacing their cigarettes with a vape device. What we can say for certain is that if you find you enjoy vaping and you find a device that suits your needs, a little personal motivation to use your vape instead of reaching for a cigarette will go a long way to achieving your goal. Studies have also shown vaping is approximately twice as effective or more compared with nicotine replacement therapies. In the UK, public health endorses vaping as the best method for quitting smoking, but we're waiting for other countries to catch up and do the same.
Is vaping safe?
E-cigarettes are such a new product, that long term research is only now starting to emerge and showing promising results. What we do know for certain is e-cigarettes contain far less harmful constituents and at much lower amounts than cigarette smoke. As of yet, there is no study that adequately proves any actual harm is arising from vaping, and in fact, some studies have looked at second hand exposure and indoor air quality comparisons, showing little to no harm to health.
According to the Royal College of Physicians, "the hazard to health arising from long-term vapour inhalation from the e-cigarettes available today is unlikely to exceed 5% of the harm from smoking tobacco."

According to experts, there are approximately 600 ingredients in cigarettes. When these ingredients are burned, they create over 4,000 chemicals, many of which are chemicals known to cause cancer, or are poisonous. No actual smoke is created when you vape. The vapor that is produced is created by vaporizing an eliquid solution of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavoring, and in most instances, nicotine. Some dubious studies have tried to abuse devices to create harmful chemicals in the vapor, but this is done by basically overheating juice and wick materials to create combustion, which no one in their right mind would ever do on purpose. When it tastes burnt, either the power is set too high, or it's just time to change the coil/cotton. Vaping is intended to be done at proper power levels that vaporize, not burn.
