History of vaping
The idea of electronic cigarettes began in 1930 when the first patent was granted.
This patent may not have actually produced a prototype.
In 1965, another patent was granted, and a prototype was created. This e-cigarette was possibly never filled with a nicotine solution and never became commercialised.
By 1979, one of the pioneers of computers paired with his doctor to create studies on nicotine delivery, and produced a vape device that was commercialised but soon failed due to numerous faults.
This was the introduction to vaping. The device relied on the evaporation of the nicotine and not actual electricity.
Through the 1990s, there were several attempts to make the first of what were then considered nicotine inhaler devices.
There were a few that were similar to modern devices, but these would not stick around or become popular, just yet.
It wasn't until 2003 a Chinese pharmacist successfully created the first commercialised e-cigarette as a healthier alternative to smoking.
By 2006 e-cigarettes and vape devices gained popularity and began to take shape into what we know now as the modern vape device, cigalike.
Leading to vape devices becoming popular worldwide around 2010.
Why it's better than cigarettes
As previously stated, the start of the modern vape device was created in China as an alternative to smoking, this was after the creator’s father died of cancer from smoking heavily.
Vaping is better than smoking cigarettes due to there being far fewer chemicals in vape juice.
This means you inhale less toxins and dispel less second-hand toxins into the air.
A standard vape device also does not produce smoke as a cigarette does since vape devices heat the vape juice to produce an aerosol or vapour which is then inhaled and dispersed in the air.
This vapour only lingers for a few seconds and then dissipates.
Finding the best vape device for you
When you first switch to vaping, it can be a rough experience, filled with coughing and strong throat sensations.
To give yourself the best vaping experience, keep it simple.
Find a cigalike or vape device with a single button that activates the draw process.
Buying a disposable device will allow you to experiment until you find the right setup, though there are plenty of rechargeable and refillable devices that are straightforward and easy to use.
As far as vape juice, try to pick a plain or minty flavour with a higher VG to make for smoother throat sensations.
Vaping is relatively new to our area, hitting New Zealand shores in the mid-2000’s.
It has become known as a better alternative to cigarettes, since it has fewer chemicals, leaves less waste, and has less impact on others.
