Starting your vaping journey can feel overwhelming with so many devices, e-liquids, and accessories available. This guide breaks down the basics to help you make informed decisions.
Choosing Your First Device
For beginners, we recommend starting with a pod kit like the Oreco Comet Pro or Vaporesso XROS 4. These devices are simple to use, affordable, and deliver a satisfying experience similar to smoking. Pod kits use pre-built coils and have small, refillable tanks — perfect for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping.
Understanding E-Liquids
E-liquids come in different types: nicotine salts (nic salts), freebase, and shortfills. Nic salts like Ultimate 5000 Bar Salts are ideal for beginners as they provide a smooth throat hit with quick nicotine satisfaction. They come in 10ml bottles with strengths from 5mg to 20mg.
VG/PG Ratios Explained
VG (Vegetable Glycerine) produces more vapour, while PG (Propylene Glycol) carries more flavour and throat hit. A 50/50 ratio is perfect for pod kits, while 70/30 suits sub-ohm devices.
