E-Cigarettes Vs Vapes

Are e-cigs and vapes the same thing? The answer to this question might surprise you if you're not already in the know when it comes to vaping hardware. For those that don't have time to read our complete explanation on our website's blog, the short is answer is that vapes and e-cigs are essentially the same thing. Two names for the same device. However, there are those who refer to the style of vaping hardware known as the cig-a-like as an e-cig, while other forms of vaping hardware are known as vapes. Either way, it all serves the same purpose of turning e-liquid into inhalable vapour.

For reference, e-cigs is the short form of electronic cigarettes and vapes is the short form of vaporisers (also spelled "vaporizers").

How Much Vape Pens Cost

Have you ever wondered how much a vape pen might cost? If you have, you're not alone in the world because many vapers and those considering vaping have wondered the same. The reality is that vape pens don't all share the same price tag, not even the ones we sell at Vaper Empire. As we offer a few different styles of vape pens, it shouldn't come as a surprise to find that they differ in price. Our Vantage Series is simple and straight to the point, whereas our V-Twist is more complex, offering adjustable airflow and variable voltage while still being incredibly easy to use. To gain a better understanding of what your next vape pen might cost, take a look at our guide to vape pen costs.

By reading our in-depth guide, you'll not only understand what your next vape pen kit might cost you, but also how much it might cost to maintain it between replacement parts and e-juice refills.

Atomizer Cleaning

Keeping your atomizer clean can save you money and keep your vape operating optimally, which is why we suggest reading our atomizer cleaning guide before you rush to replace the atomizer that's in your vape because there's a chance it might just need to be cleaned, not replaced. In this guide, we cover the telltale signs of an expired atomizer while also divulging the indicators that might tell you it's time to clean your atomizer. For atomizers that are in need of cleaning, we explain the process by which they can be cleaned, keeping them operating smoothly with minimal effort.

One sign that your atomizer might be in need of a good cleaning is reduced vapour production. Another sign is strange tasting vapour. And yet another sign is the feeling that you're sucking through a straw, otherwise known as increased draw resistance. For all the signs that your atomizer might need to be cleaned be sure to read our guide to atomizer cleaning.

Can You Buy E-Cigarettes In Australia?

A question we hear all the time is "can I buy e-cigs in Australia?", which is why we've shared an article on our blog to explain the answer to this common question. If you're interested in vaping in Australia, then this is a guide that you should definitely read. In it, we explain the legal situation (AU vaping laws) and how they differ from state to state, city to city, and across all of Australia. So if you're in Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria or somewhere else, then we strongly recommend you read this guide because it will tell you everything you want to know about vaping all across Australia.

The Definition Of A Vape Pen

We know a lot of people out there are wondering what a vape pen is. While vapers who use them obviously know what they are, there are those who don't have a clue. To explain what vape pens are, we created a quick guide to understanding vape pens that covers what they are, how they work, how they're used, how they're constructed, where to buy them, and what the difference is between vape pens and mods.

There's a reason why vape pens are popular and that's in part because they're relatively inexpensive, easy to use, and compact, which is why you should take a look at our vape pen guide to learn more about their benefits and usage if you're interested in learning more about one of the most popular styles of vapes on the market.

At Vaper Empire, we sell a number of different styles of vape pens, all of which we've designed to be easy for our customers to use.

Vaping As A Smoking Cessation

There appears to be no end to smokers that are wondering if vaping can help them quit smoking, which is why we've shared a new article on our blog explaining how vaping can help smokers stop smoking. With millions of smokers that have already switched to vaping, there's no shortage of success stories out there. Many of today's smokers don't yet realize how much vaping can help them quit smoking and just how easy it can be thanks to the wide variety of high-quality vaping products that are available today. Between all of the different vaping products, including those aimed specifically at smokers who want to switch to vaping, and all of the support that's available for smokers who want to make the switch, there has arguably never been a better time for smokers to make the switch to vaping and make smoking a thing of the past.

In our guide to how vaping can be useful to smokers who want to quit smoking we explain how vapes and e-cigs work, what vaping is, how e-liquid nicotine strengths impact quit attempts, how vaping differs from smoking, and how vaping helps people stop smoking. If you're a smoker and you're ready to give up the cigarettes then this is one article that you must read.

The Cost Of A Good Vape

This month we covered the cost of vape pens, but we also took a stab at explaining what a good vape might cost. To explain how much a good vape costs, we took a look at the cost of vaping hardware, e-liquid, and replacement parts like vape coils, tanks, and batteries. After examining all of the variables, we found that cost of a good vape can vary greatly, which might not be as helpful as some might wish. However, we made it easy to calculate one's savings by providing an invaluable resource: our vape savings calculator which makes it easy to quickly crunch the numbers and see how much vaping might save you if you're currently smoking instead of vaping. We also made it easy to find a good vape by providing insight into the ones that we sell, including our Vibe, V-Twist, Vantage, and V-Pack II.

Thicker Vapour & How To Get It

A lot of vapers out there are wondering how they can blow "fat clouds" of vapour, which is why we shared a guide to making vape smoke thicker earlier this month on our blog. Before we talk more about this, we just want to point out that smoke and vapour are not the same, however, the term "vape smoke" has become synonymous with vapour in some circles. If you don't know the difference, don't fret because we've already covered all of this in our guide to increasing the e-cig vapour density. If you want some tips on how to blow larger and thicker clouds of vapour then do yourself a favour and read our guide. Our tips include getting e-liquid with the right PG to VG ratio, adjusting your airflow, utilizing a high voltage battery, and adjusting the way you use your vape. There are many tricks and you'll find all of them in this guide. So if you're ready to vape like a pro, then go ahead and drop what you're doing and check out the guide.
