FAQ

All vaping devices work on the same basic principles: A battery powers a heating element that turns a liquid solution (known as e-liquid, e-juice, vape juice, etc.) into a vapor. Different devices apply these principals in differing ways.

Unfortunately, we’re not allowed to discuss the safety of vaping devices or e-liquid due to federal restrictions. We apologize for this, but you can do plenty of independent research on the internet.

The short answer is no. It’s wise not to assume that you can vape anywhere just because it’s not traditional “smoking”. Premises owners are entitled to prohibit vaping on their property, and many do. We suggest not to vape anywhere you wouldn’t smoke. And it never hurts to ask first. In some cases, you may be able to stealth vape using a discrete device. But we don’t recommend vaping anywhere you’re not allowed to.

If you’re an adult smoker, then the answer is yes. However, we do not advise non-smokers to start vaping. The addictiveness of the nicotine provided by vaping is currently not fully understood. It should be assumed that it does have the potential to cause dependence.

We are prevented from talking about this by federal regulations. It is impossible to say whether YOU can quit smoking by vaping. The only thing we can say with certainty is that there are many people, our staff included, who are known to have quit smoking by substituting with vaping. Whether you will be one of those people depends on a few factors, such as how motivated you are to quit, how much effort you make finding a device and e-liquid that works for you, and how much you enjoy vaping to being with. The only way to find out is to try! And we are here to help you along that journey.

The sale of vape products, including devices, accessories, and e-liquid (with and without nicotine) to minors is strictly prohibited. If you are under the age to buy tobacco products in your area, you cannot buy vape products either. We DO NOT sell vapor products to minors under any circumstance.

An e-cigarette is a device used to simulate smoking.

Vape pens are vaping devices that are similar in appearance to pens, slightly larger and more powerful than cigalikes.

Pod mods are vaping devices that are small, light-weight and ultra-portable. Most use a refillable pod (some use pre-filled pods that cannot be refilled) that houses the coil and wick and can be replaced after use. These types of devices are best for nicotine salt e-liquids.

An unregulated mod (also called mechanical or mech mods) has no circuit board and runs directly off a battery. Since there is no circuitry, and the batteries keep providing continuous power, vapor production reduces as the batteries drain.

A volt is a measure of electric potential. In your mod, your battery is what supplies the voltage in the form of stored electric potential.

An ohm is a unit of electrical resistance. In your atomizer, the coil is what determines the ohms of your set-up. The higher the ohms, the more resistance volts will face while flowing through the circuit. The lower the ohms, the less resistance.

Many regulated devices have the option of controlling voltage and/or wattage. By controlling either how much voltage your mod is pulling from your battery or how much wattage is being produced overall, you can customize your vaping experience to your liking.

A drip tip is the mouthpiece where you inhale the vapor.

RBA stands for Rebuildable Atomizer and is a general term for all variations of rebuildable devices.

RTA stands for Rebuildable Tank Atomizer. This is a device that allows you to build and wick your own atomizer coils that are submerged into a tank that holds your e-liquid.

Dripping is a method of vaping where a small amount of e-liquid is added directly to the wick and then vaped immediately. This style of vaping is used with RDAs or RDTAs.

A 510 connector is the part of an atomizer that connects it to a mod. The innermost section of any 510 connector is a small pin that acts as the positive contact for the circuit, allowing the flow of current from the batteries and mod up to the atomizer.

All our house e-liquids include Vegetable Glycerin (VG), Propylene Glycol (PG), PG-Based Natural/Artificial Flavorings, and VG-Based Freebase Nicotine or Nicotine Salt, when applicable.

PG (propylene glycol) and VG (vegetable glycerin) are ingredients in e-liquid which create the vapor. Both are widely used in a variety of products made for human consumption. PG is associated with a stronger “throat hit” and can carry flavors well but has less visible vapor. VG has a slightly sweet taste and produces a much more visible vapor. Some vapers find PG irritates their throat and lungs. Our e-liquids contain a blend of both ingredients, to balance out the characteristics of each.

There is no one-size fits all answer here, so the best thing you can do is to try out a few e-liquids and see which ones suit your tastes. Some new vapors enjoy tobacco flavors, as it seems closer to what traditional smoking is like. But many choose to stay away from tobacco flavors because they feel it is too much like traditional smoking and they feel they may not stick with vaping. We recommend trying a few different flavors when just starting out. With so many options, you’re sure to find one you enjoy.

Our house e-liquids are available in 0mg-26mg (by increments of 1) of freebase nicotine and our house nicotine salt e-liquids are available in 20mg, 30mg and 45mg of nicotine salt.

This is one of the trickiest questions we get because ultimately it all comes down to personal preference. Nicotine affects each person differently. When it comes to standard freebase nicotine e-liquids, many vapors prefer higher nicotine but in a lower powered device, whereas others prefer lower nicotine but in a more powerful device. However, this doesn’t apply to everyone. We suggest starting at a mid-level nicotine strength (about 6mg-10mg for higher powered devices and 12mg-18mg for lower powered devices) and paying attention to how it affects you. If you feel the need to smoke still, try increasing your nicotine strength. If you feel it is too harsh, try lowering your nicotine strength. And in the case of nicotine salt e-liquids, we only suggest using them in lower powered devices. A 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid is a good place to start as you can increase the amount of nicotine as needed.

Our house e-liquids come in either 70:30 (Max VG) or 40:60 (High PG) blends. Our house Nicotine Salt e-liquids come in a 50:50 blend.

Yes! We carry a few select brands and flavors of third party(LINK?) and premium e-liquids(LINK?).

High-drain lithium-ion batteries with a 20amp continuous output and a minimum of 2500mAh are considered safe for vaping. There are many sizes of batteries, including 18650 (which are the most common), 20700, 21700 and 26650. DO NOT mix different brands of batteries. DO NOT use batteries with different mAh ratings. ONLY use batteries recommended for your device.

An amp is the unit used to measure electric current.

External batteries, if kept in good condition, can last you, on average, from 8 months to a year. After regular use, you may notice that your batteries are not holding a charge as well as they used to, and therefore, should be replaced. Always check for visible damage to your batteries, including on the outer insulation wrap. If your batteries get damaged or wet, DO NOT USE THEM. Replace all damaged batteries.

No, DO NOT use old and new batteries together. If replacing multiple batteries for your device, replace them all at the same time.

Keep loose batteries in a case to prevent contact with metal objects (coins, keys, etc.). DO NOT STORE OR TRANSPORT LOOSE BATTERIES IN A POCKET OR BAG. DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR DEVICE OR BATTERIES TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES. DO NOT leave your device or batteries in direct sunlight or in freezing cold temperatures. DO NOT store your device in your car.
