Where should I start as a new vaper?

First, it's important to cover some basic information. If you're an experienced smoker, you should know that vaping feels very different from smoking. In addition to tasting better than cigarette smoke, vapor hits your throat in a unique way, so it's important to start with small puffs until you get the hang of it.

For people who have never smoked, vaping can be even more intense the first time. If you find that vaping is too overwhelming, most vape kits give you the ability to change the thickness of the vapor they produce. Don't be afraid to change the settings until you find a vapor concentration that is comfortable.

Also, the composition of your vape juice will change the way it hits your throat. For example, vape juice with a higher concentration of vegetable glycerin (VG) tends to be smoother, and vape juice with a higher concentration of propylene glycol (PG) allows you to blow bigger clouds. Try a few different types of vape juice as you get used to vaping to make sure you find a variety you like. Diverse and classic Crystal Bar flavours for you to check!

Beginner vaping doesn't have to be complicated. While many vape kits offer complex customization options that can be overwhelming, other kits offer single-button ignition and other simple features that are easy for beginners to understand. We'll cover the best types of vape starter kits below.

What makes a good vape starter kit for beginners?

What is a vaping starter kit? In general, the term "starter kit" refers to a vaping tool that's ready to use the moment you take it out of the box.

For example, some vape kits come without batteries or coils, allowing for more customization. But if you want to keep things simple and start vaping right away, you're better off with a complete starter kit.

Your ideal vape starter kit can come in one of three varieties: vape mods, vape pens, and vape pods. Of the three, vape mods are the most complicated, but they also offer the most room for customization.

In terms of complexity, vape pens (SKE Strip Bar) and vape pods (SKE Crystal Plus) are about the same. Beginners may find vape pods more convenient, however, as they come with disposable vape juice pods that you can replace at any time. Vape pens, on the other hand, are usually refillable, which means you'll need to learn how to refill tanks if you want to start with this vape kit option.

Are vape pens or box mod starter kits best for beginners?

What's the best starter kit when you're new to vaping? If this is your first time using a vape kit, it's best to stick to the simplest options. Vape pens are surprisingly easy and intuitive to use, but you might have some trouble with box mods.

Also called vape mods, box mods are named for the large, box-like batteries they feature. These batteries connect to similarly large tanks, so box mods offer better battery life and last longer.

Beginners might not like vape mods, however, because they offer so many options for customization. With most box mods, you can control the temperature down to the degree, and these types of vape kits also involve removable parts that you can customize.

Vape pens, on the other hand, are very straightforward. While some vape pen models offer temperature control, there are usually only 3-5 options you can cycle through by pressing a button. Most vape pens activate with a single button press, and they usually feature simple LED lights that show you information like the charge level of your battery and your current vaping temperature setting.
In summation, most beginners should stick to vape pens. If you're feeling adventurous and don't mind a significant learning curve, however, box mods are another solid option.

How to vape for the first time

Your first time vaping can be very satisfying if you proceed the right way. As you get used to the feeling of inhaling vapor, it's a good idea to set the vaping temperature of your device as low as possible. Doing so will limit the thickness of the clouds your vape kit produces, which will be easier on your lungs.

With your first hit, don't try to inhale too much vapor. Just inhale enough to get a feel for the experience, and then progress to thicker clouds as you go.

If your first hit is too harsh, consider switching to a different type of vape juice since some vape juice options are harsher than others. If all else fails, consider upgrading to a more customizable type of vape kit. With better temperature control, you might be able to find the results you're looking for. We've also got an in-depth guide on using a vape pen for the first time.

Do vape starter kits come with juice?

In most cases, vape starter kits do not come with vape juice. Different regulations apply to the sale of nicotine products than apply to the sale of vape tools, so selling vape kits with juice is often impossible for legal reasons.

Also, it's good to give people who are new to vaping the opportunity to choose their own vape juice. There are so many different types of vape juice on the market, and this variety allows you to craft your very own vaping experience.
