7 Tips for Your First Week Vaping
- Start with a disposable. No setup makes the first week easy.
- Draw gently. A slow, steady mouth-to-lung draw works best.
- Choose a moderate strength. Begin in the middle and adjust to taste.
- Pick a familiar flavour. Fruit and menthol are approachable starting points.
- Pace yourself. Space your puffs rather than chain vaping.
- Stay hydrated. Keep water handy, as vaping can feel drying at first.
- Recharge and store well. Use USB-C if available and keep the device cool.
Follow these and your first week vaping will be comfortable. The most important habits are a gentle draw, a moderate strength and spacing your puffs.
Common First-Week Mistakes
The most common mistakes are choosing too high a strength (which can feel harsh), drawing too hard, and chain vaping, which can dry the wick and cause a burnt taste.
