personal Vaporizers At the top of the e-cig food chain is the personal vaporizer (PV). Also called a MOD because they are the results of items such as flashlights or metal tubes that were modified to fit an atomizer and vaporize liquid nicotine. These modified devices turned into a whole new class of electronic cigarettes. A personal vaporizer is designed for the vapers who desire more control and vapor and does not care about the size of their device. PV or MODS units are the most powerful hitters in the game. This vaporizer style is available in a variety of options and also capable of producing the biggest clouds of vapor. The 4 most common types of PVs are: Basic Vaporizers (EGO)- Small, compact, easy to use, most popular Advanced Vaporizers (MODS)- Regulated beasts, long battery life, big vapor and flavor Rebuildables (Mech MODS)- Unregulated tanks, build your atomizer, technical work, biggest vapor Herbal Vaporizers – Dried herbs, tobacco, no smoke,

Ch. 2 Why YOU Need to Care About Vaping If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably tried to quit smoking a gazillion times and nothing ever worked. Then low and behold you see this new fangled e cig technology that produces smoke like vapor and may even taste and feel better than a cigarette. Whatever, your mamma didn’t raise no fool - if something looks too good to be true then it probably is - right? Not this time. Trust me, you should give a crap about e cigs because they work, they’re better for you, and people who don’t understand how to science are beginning to pass restrictive bills and regulations pertaining to e cigs.   The Myth You might have heard a lot of negative things about e cigs like: “E cigs aren’t safe! There are crazy amounts of unknown chemicals,” or “They’re marketing e cigs to kids,” or “E cigs are the gateway to smoking,” or “E cigs don’t work, they’re only a gimmick,” or even “Vaping makes people think it’s okay to pollute th

Sure, e cigs have changed over the years, but for the better. As technology gets more and more advanced, the technology utilized in e cigs will continue to improve as well - there's no stopping it.    From Humble Beginnings The first electronic cigarette patent was filed in 1963 by a dude named Herbert A. Gilbert. According to an interview with Mr. Gilbert , he said that it was kind of obvious that inhaling burnt stuff was gross. So he did what any normal human being would do and used “logic” to create a smoking alternative that didn’t rely on the need for combustion (okay, maybe not any normal human being - I’m hardly industrious enough to cook Kraft Dinner on my own). If you look at Herbert’s patent

What is Vaping? This is a question we get asked every day. Seriously. It’s almost always comes accompanied by its close cousins such as: Is vaping harmful? Does it contain tobacco? Is it safer than smoking? You know the drill. But what does vape mean really? Vaping: The Definition Vaping can be defined as the act of inhaling water vapor through a personal vaporizer (the vaper’s tobacco-free version of the traditional cigarette). Vaping is an alternative to smoking. It’s like smoking minus several of the adverse effects of the latter: no bad smell and bad breath, no cigarette burns, no more dirty ashtrays, less likelihood of getting cancer and other smoking-affiliated illnesses – you get the drift. In short, vaping is the name given to the use of a vaporizer. The process involves applying heat to a liquid which generates vapor. The user, called a vaper (smoker in traditional cigarette circles) gets their nicotine hit through inhaling the almost odorless vapor (smo
