9 Benefits of Vaping

There are many reasons vaping has become popular all over the world. From the benefits compared to smoking cigarettes to the customisable technology. You can cater your vaping experience according to your tastes by playing around with different vape juices and kits. Here are 9 benefits to switching to vaping full-time.

1. Less harmful than smoking

The number one benefit to vaping is that, for someone looking to stop smoking, it is an ideal tool. On a chemical level, vaping does not involve the burning of tobacco. This means that you are not inhaling harmful byproducts like tar and carbon monoxide (CO). Even the NHS suggests vaping as a healthier alternative to smoking.

2. Better for your lungs

Tar in itself is a sticky substance that ends up coating the lungs, possibly leading to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). CO meanwhile can inhibit the body’s ability to absorb oxygen, which leads to shortness of breath.

Vaping meanwhile works by heating e-liquids containing a combination of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavourings, and nicotine. Upon heating, an inhalable, and many times sweet, vapour is released and ready to inhale.

3. More flavours

It’s easy to harp on about the chemical properties, but realistically the main thing people will look for is the flavour. The possibilities are endless, and Rolling Buddy has a range of options at their vape shop Malta that will have you discovering you had tastes you didn’t even know about. While the most popular choices tend to be Fruit or Dessert, there are other variants too. These include different takes on Tobacco or Beverage or even some more Unconventional flavours.

4. Customisable nicotine levels

Many e-cigarettes and vaporizers allow you to choose the level of nicotine in your e-liquid. This can help users gradually reduce their nicotine intake over time, making it easier to quit smoking or nicotine use altogether. 

While some e-liquid refills come with nicotine already in the mix, it is very common for the bottle to have some room left for a 10ml nicotine shot. Rolling buddy gives you the choice of a standard Nic Shot or Nicotine Salt Shot. The latter is said to have a similar sensation to cigarette smoke. There is also a handy Nicotine Shot Calculator which you can use to help with levels.

5. Cost-effective

Vaping can be more cost-effective than smoking in the long run. While the initial cost of a vaping device may be higher than a pack of cigarettes, e-liquids can be refilled at a much lower cost than buying new cigarettes or tobacco packets.

In a bid to aid public health, several governments across the world have made access to tobacco less convenient. Even locally, while Malta is still one of the cheaper countries in Europe to buy a packet of cigarettes from, the average price has skyrocketed over the past 20 years.

6. No unpleasant odours

The main downside of traditional smoking is indeed the smell that smoke leaves behind. Since Vaping is simply the release of flavoured vapour, apart from a generally sweet-smelling cloud, there’s nothing left of it in seconds. No more smokey clothes or hair or worrying if your breath smells of the cigarette you just had before meeting your date.

7. Better for others around you

It is difficult to be a cigarette smoker around a group of non-smokers. Particularly if you are a more conscientious smoker who doesn’t like making people breathe in your second-hand smoke. While it is still new and the science evolving, it is clear that vaping significantly reduces the risk to people around you. No more worrying about holding your cigarette away from people, or keeping wind direction in mind to exhale.

8. Reduced risk of fire

One very often overlooked advantage to vaping over smoking is the fact that there is no combustion happening at all. Not in terms of the by-products, but in terms of the actual fire hazard involved. Smoking often involved lighters or matches, and it is not unheard of for cigarettes themselves to cause fires, sometimes with devastating coincidences.  

9. Convenient

Let’s be practical here, vaping is leagues more convenient than smoking in practically every scenario. A disposable vape is a small and convenient device that you use until it finishes, fitting everywhere and offering no burden to carry. Frumist vapes are an excellent example of disposable vapes which are design-conscious and cost-effective, lasting up to 500 puffs.

With full kits then all you need to remember is the charge them and refill them when necessary. These can be smaller cartridge or pod-dependent devices like the Wenax C1 or Novo 4. Or if you’d like some professional-level kits, there are also the XROS 3 by Vapouresso or the VooPoo Drag X. Long story short, Rolling Buddy’s Malta vape store always gives you the best options in Malta!
