How to Vape: Vaping Advice for Beginners

Here at Innokin, we manufacture vape kits for every conceivable need. Whether you’re a confirmed vaping expert or have never puffed on a vaping device before, you’ll find a device on our site that’s a perfect fit for you. One of the major challenges of vaping, though, is knowing what type of device is right for you if you’ve never vaped before – and a big part of that is understanding how the different devices work. Some potential vapers look at the variety of hardware that’s available and end up becoming frustrated due to their lack of understanding. They ultimately end up getting simple e-cigarettes from local convenience stores instead, and their first vaping experiences aren’t nearly as good as they could have been.

We want to make sure that you have a spectacular experience with your first vaping device, and the way to make that happen is by helping you understand how to vape. In this article, we’re going to teach you how to use the three most common types of rechargeable and refillable vaping devices: pod systems, vape pens, and vape mods. By understanding how the three most popular types of vapes work, you’ll find it easier to choose the best device for your needs and will have a better experience with that device.

First, though, let’s discuss some general vaping advice that applies to all devices.

 

How to Vape for the Best Possible Experience: General Advice

There are a few general truths about vaping that apply regardless of the type of device you use. We’d like to begin this article with a few words of advice about how to vape with any product. You’ll find this advice useful regardless of which device you ultimately choose.

How to Vape with a Pod System

Pod systems such as the Innokin MVP Pod and the Innokin EQ FLTR are among the most popular devices for new vapers. That’s because they’re sleek and simple, and it’s also because they’re optimized to deliver a great experience with the high-strength e-liquids that new vapers often prefer. Many of the people who use pod systems enjoy their experience so much that they end up never using any other type of device.

Here’s how to vape with a pod system.

After you’ve used your pod system for a while, you’ll notice that the flavor quality is no longer the same as it was when you first began using the device. When you’re no longer happy with the flavor, it’s time for a new pod or atomizer coil. If the pod has a permanent coil, simply discard the pod and begin using a new one. If the pod has a replaceable coil, pull the old coil out of the bottom of the pod and push a new coil in. Remember that every time you use a new pod or coil, you should wait a few minutes before vaping.

 

How to Vape with a Vape Pen

The primary difference between a pod system and a vape pen is the shape. Although there are exceptions, a pod system most often has a somewhat flat profile. A vape pen, on the other hand, always has a cylindrical shape. Compared to pod systems, vape pens often have larger atomizer coils and higher-capacity batteries. In many cases, that means a vape pen will produce bigger clouds than a pod system and will also last longer between battery charges. Some of our best vape pens include the Innokin Sceptre Tube and the Innokin Endura T18X.

Using a vape pen is much the same as using a pod system, differing in only a few key areas. We’ll mention those below.

 

How to Vape with a Vape Mod

Vape mods such as the Innokin Kroma 217 and the Innokin Coolfire Z80 Zenith are the largest and most powerful vaping devices on the market. Unlike pod systems and vape pens – which are typically very small and pocketable – a vape mod is usually around the same size as a cigarette pack. The increased size, however, allows a vape mod to have a much larger battery – sometimes even two batteries – and to operate at much higher power levels. The Innokin Kroma 217, for instance, operates at up to 100 watts. Most vape mods come with tanks designed for the direct-to-lung inhaling style, which isn’t the inhaling style you’re likely to prefer if you’re new to vaping.

When it’s time to learn how to vape with a vape mod, though, you’ll find that it doesn’t differ that much from using a vape pen as described above. You’ll fill the tank and replace the atomizer coil in the same way. Here are the two ways in which using a vape mod differs from using a vape pen.
