Many health questions are asked about e-liquids and understandably so. Most of the answers consist of the very helpful phrase we don’t know. Vaping is relatively new so when it comes to any long term effects, there just hasn’t been enough time. It’s not all in the grey though: when the issue of whether e-liquids are vegetarian or not comes up, there is a much simpler answer yes.

There’s been much confusion and debate surrounding the policies of buying e-cigarettes. Various credit card companies, including Mastercard, have been known to restrict the sales of e-cigarettes. This can make things difficult, both for merchants, like us, and many customers - perhaps yourself!

But don’t worry, Mastercard users, you don’t have to miss out on the action - you’ll be pleased to know that at Vape Mountain, we accept you! We take all major debit and credit cards: Visa, Visa Electron, Maestro and, you guessed it, Mastercard.

You like to vape. And you like to use PayPal. The chances are you’ve noticed a problem with the compatibility of the two over the last few years. PayPal have restricted the sale of the majority of e-cigs and similar products.

If you've delved into the mysterious world of vaping you've probably already heard the terms PG and VG. You might not know what they are though, and how they contribute to the vaping experience. If you're already a professional cloud chaser then I'm preaching to the choir, but for the rest of you, listen up!

"Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight, gonna grab some afternoon E-Lites". So goes the classic 70's hit, which, since e-cigs weren't around back then, is quite the achievement. We wouldn't put anything past those crafty geniuses at E-Lites though. E-Lites is one of the most popular brands of e-cigarette in the UK, and you can tell why when you see their simple yet effective range of products.

Are e-cigs harmful? If you're smoking cigarettes and thinking of switching over to vaping, naturally the health implications are going to be high up on your list of priorities. Recent studies have apparently discovered that smoking is bad for you, so surely anything that could help you kick the habit is a good thing, right?

As with any major new discovery or invention, vaping has caused quite a stir. Since it was introduced to the market in 2004, there have been multiple debates, discussions and essays surrounding the subject of how bad vaping is for your lungs and general health. All of this generally comes down to the same point: we don’t really know yet.

People once thought cigarettes were good for you, that the Titanic was unsinkable and that the world was flat. Whilst they too lacked long-term knowledge, they also didn’t have the facts which, to an extent, we do. So here they are – the facts which we do know.

If you're thinking about taking up vaping, or have already started, it's only natural that you'd try and be sure that vaping is as safe as possible (of course, inhaling anything but clean air is worse than not doing so). After all, what would be the point in switching from cigarettes to vaping if it turned out that it was just as bad, or even worse for you!?

E-liquid is not some strange and mysterious substance, though. It's a fairly simple one, and contains just a few relatively safe ingredients.

Let's cut to the chase: you probably just want to know, plain and simple, where you can and can’t vape.

The 2007 smoking ban which eliminated smoking in public spaces does not apply to electronic cigarettes. However, as there’s no blanket ban, it’s difficult to specify where vaping is and isn't allowed. The best advice we can provide is, if in doubt, just ask! You’re not going to get kicked out of a pub if you politely ask the staff if you can vape – but you might if you just go ahead assuming it’s okay.
