10 Reasons To Switch From Smoking To Vaping

According to the latest research, smoking rates are plummeting and vaping is becoming more popular with each passing day. The industry has been growing quickly over the last several years, and so far the appeal has had a snowball effect. It keeps getting bigger and it doesn’t seem like it’ll be stopping anytime soon.

This isn’t a random anomaly and it isn’t a surprising turn of events. There are a lot of great reasons to switch from smoking to vaping and we're going to tell you about a few of them. These are the top ten reasons to switch from smoking to vaping.

1. Vaping offers more flavour options than smoking

Tobacco products have offered flavour options for a long time, but the relatively new vaping industry’s flavour options already far exceed that of the smoking industry. In a smoke shop, you’ll typically see a few flavoured products here and there, but physical and online vape shops primarily offer flavoured e-liquids. While tobacco-flavoured e-liquids are readily available in most vape shops, including ours, they usually make up a minority of the available options.

2. Vaping offers more nicotine options than smoking

When it comes to cigarettes, your nicotine options are very limited. Most cigarettes have nearly identical nicotine strengths, but this is not the case with e-liquids. If you switch to vaping, your nicotine options will range from e-liquids with no nicotine to e-liquids with 50mg of nicotine (more nicotine than two cigarettes in a single puff.)

If you vape, you can experiment and find the ideal nicotine strength for you. On the other hand, smokers are more or less stuck with the amount of nicotine provided by the standard cigarette.

3. E-cigs offer more customizability than cigarettes

With few exceptions, all cigarettes look the same. It wouldn’t make sense to put a lot of thought into their design. You use them for a few minutes and then dispose of them. When it comes to e-cigs, you have nearly limitless options. There are so many different units and tanks to choose from, and many have a wide range of colour options to choose from as well.

If you vape, you’ll be seeing your vaporizer a lot, so it makes sense to choose a set-up that you find aesthetically appealing. Your vape can really be a personal fashion statement if you want it to be and fortunately for you, Vaper Empire offers some of the best-looking e-cigs on the market, which you can order directly from our online vape shop.

4. Vaping is an example of harm reduction

Research seems to indicate that vaping is, at the very least, an example of harm reduction. Check out Public Health England’s research summary for a more in-depth explanation. According to these findings, those that switch from smoking to vaping are likely to see “substantial health benefits.”

Vaping is relatively new, so we simply can’t know the long-term effects. We do, however, have significant evidence that appears to indicate that vaping is a healthier alternative to smoking.

5. Vaping is more convenient than smoking

Smoking a cigarette is obviously not very hard. Vaping has more of a learning curve, but that isn’t saying much. Vaping is extremely easy, especially if you're using one of Vaper Empire's intuitive vape starter kits, and once you’ve done it a couple of times, it’s actually more convenient than smoking. You don’t need even need to carry a lighter around. All you need to vape is vaporizer filled with e-liquid. It easily fits in your pocket and you typically won’t need to charge it more than once every night.

6. Vapour has no lingering smell

Vapour does have a noticeable smell, but it’s typically a fragrant, pleasant odour. Furthermore, this smell doesn’t linger like the smell of smoke does. Cigarette smoke can leave an unpleasant and noticeable smell in any room, and it’ll make your clothes smell like smoke until they’re washed. Getting the smell of smoke out of a room that’s been exposed to it frequently can be a nearly impossible task. Just another reason to choose vaping instead.

7. Vaping doesn’t make a mess

Say goodbye to spilled ashtrays and cigarette butts forever. Cigarettes can be messy, but vaping is almost mess-free. A high-quality tank or e-cig shouldn’t leak, and if you’re careful when refilling it, your mess is limited to expired vape coils. You only need to change your vape coils once every few days. This frequency varies depending on the e-cig you’re using and how often you vape. In any case, that’s a lot more convenient than flicking ash from a cigarette every few seconds.

8. Vaping is less expensive than smoking

Buying an e-cig might seem expensive, but in the long run, it’ll save you a lot of money if you’re coming from cigarettes. Bottles of e-liquid with 12mg of nicotine are fairly common. Nicotine levels can be much higher or much lower, but a 30ml bottle of e-liquid with 12mg of nicotine is equal to roughly ten packs of cigarettes.

That must cost a fortune, right?

You might be surprised. A reasonably-priced 30ml bottle of e-liquid will cost about as much as three or four packs of cigarettes. An e-cig might cost more than a box of cigarettes initially, but it pays for itself in no time.

9.  Vaping potentially reduces the risk of fire

Simply dropping a cigarette can be an expensive and dangerous mistake. Dropping a vaporizer might damage it, but that’s about it. There’s very little need to worry about starting a fire when you vape, so long as you adhere to the rules of proper battery storing, charging, and disposal.

10. Vapour is more pleasant than smoke

A puff of vapour, even from low-nicotine e-liquid, has more nicotine than several cigarette hits. Low-nicotine e-liquids are extremely smooth and pleasant to vape and you can increase the nicotine amount significantly before noticing any unpleasant sensation.

You might love smoking, but vapour is simply smoother. If you like the throat hit that a cigarette provides, Vaper Empire has e-cigarettes and e-liquids that we've designed with your preference in mind. Take for example our Menthol e-liquid from our Classic Range, which provides a refreshing throat hit with every puff.

These ten reasons to switch from smoking to vaping are just some of the reasons why you should seriously consider making the switch.
