25 April 2016  So, you're thinking about stepping into the vaping world and giving e-cigarettes a try. Or maybe you've already started vaping, but want to do some research into the pros and cons. Well, that's a sensible idea - with all the conflicting information around it can be hard to get through to the facts. In this article I'll try and list some of the positives and negatives of using e-cigs, so you can make an informed decision. |

22 April 2016  Ah, so you've come here to learn the mysterious art of steeping. If you thought it might be a complicated process and not worth the hassle, then worry not! Steeping is actually just the process of leaving your e-liquids alone for a while before vaping them, in order for the flavours to properly come out. Much as you'd leave a fine wine, or an oak-barrelled whisky for several years in order for the flavours to 'mature', so you leave your e-juice. What, you just buy whatever's on offer at Tesco? Sacrilege! It's not too late to change your ways - the road may be 'steep', but it'll be worth it in the end. |

If some people are to be believed, though, this pastime is more harmful to your health than smearing yourself with honey and jumping into the bear enclosure at the local zoo. It can't all be true though, can it? The answer is no, it probably isn't. Some of the anti-vaping sentiment comes from scaremongering stories, and while no one's claiming that vaping is completely harmless (or at least they shouldn't be), it certainly seems like a comparatively safe option when weighed up against the alternatives. There are certainly some side effects of vaping, though, which are detailed below. |
