What is a Vape Kit? Your Beginner's Guide

You might have noticed people using small electronic devices that produce a cloud of vapour instead of smoke. These are generally called vape kits or e-cigarettes that have been a trending alternative (Among 4.7M of current vapers in the UK, 2.7 M are ex-smokers) for traditional cigarettes in recent years. They are used to create flavourful vapours that vapers inhale.
You're not alone if you've been curious about what an e-cigarette is and how it all works. To resolve the mystery, we have prepared a detailed guide covering all the aspects of vaping devices, from basic components to working types. Continue reading to equip yourself with detailed information.

An e-cigarette has a few key parts: a battery/mod, a tank/atomiser, a coil, an e-liquid reservoir, and a mouthpiece.

• The battery is the powerhouse of your vaping device, heating the liquid into vapour. Some mods let you adjust the wattage, voltage, or temperature, ideal options for more experienced vapers.
• The tank carries the e-juice and coil with different heat resistances, affecting vapour production and flavour.
• Then comes the cotton that soaks e-liquid to provide flavoured smoke, and the reservoir where the e-liquid is stored. Lastly, there is a mouthpiece, the part used to inhale the vapour.

The process of using a vaping device is quite simple, starting from powering up the device, usually done by pressing a button a few times (up to 5). Once the device is on, the battery gets into action and sends power to the coil within the tank or atomiser. This coil is a small wire that heats up rapidly when the current flows through it. When the coil heats up, it vaporises the e-juice present in the tank and turns it into a fine mist. Afterwards, the vapour draws up through the tank and out through the mouthpiece, or drip tip, allowing the user to inhale it. In a nutshell, a vape kit heats e-liquid to create a vapour that can be inhaled, offering a flavourful smoking experience unlike boring traditional smoking.

Just like with anything else, e-cigarettes are of different types, and some popular ones are listed below:

• Pod Vapes
  
• Vape Pens
  
• Vape Mods
  
• AIO (All-in-One)
  
• Squank Mods

There are two common vaping styles practised across the UK

• Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) Vaping
  
• DTL or Sub-Ohm Vaping

Buying a vape depends on the individual's preferred vaping style (MTL/DTL/RDL), level (beginner/seasoned vaper, flavour preference (fruity, icy, sweet), nicotine requirements and last but not least, the budget. Think deeply about all of these facts before adding anything to your cart because there is nothing one-size-fits-all in vaping.

The price of an e-cigarette depends on the brand, device type, and associated features (power, number of puffs, coil type, and more). For example, you can get Hayati Kits for £7.99 to £11.99, VOOOPOO kits for £24 to £35, and Crystal Pro for £7.99 to £24.99.

To sum up, vaping kits are electronic devices in different sizes, shapes, and designs that vaporise e-liquid. Choosing the right one depends on your needs and preferences. Do your research first to shop for e-cigarettes that suit you best.
