Why vape? What is the meaning of life? Why do I cry myself to sleep every night?

All valid questions, but ones which are difficult to answer. For one thing, each person's reason for vaping should be unique to them, as it is after all a personal choice.

If you're thinking about getting into vaping, but may have some reservations and want to know more before getting into it, then good on you! It's always best to be prepared, so prepare yourself for some vaping knowledge to help you make that decision.

So, you're interested in the world of vaping, and want to give it a shot. You've had a look at some of the gear, but you're still not sure what exactly this 'e-liquid' stuff is, and how it differs from 'e-juice', 'vape juice' or 'vaping fluid'. Well, the good news is that it's not very complicated. All these terms refer to the same thing; the liquid that is heated within your vaporiser.

You must have experienced it before, walking down the street, spying a fellow vaper, looking on with awe and envy as they exhale more vapour than you thought possible. How are they doing that and why can’t you do it too?!

One of the main issues prospective vapers might have is not knowing about the contents of e-liquids, and the main ingredients; PG and VG. Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG) are integral parts of the vaping experience, and this article seeks to shed some light on these mysterious substances.

It is a question that everyone who vapes – and a fair few that haven't – from time to time but can using an e-cigarette give you cancer? While this may seem like a straightforward question that has a simple "yes" or "no" answer, in reality, our understanding of the long-term effects of using an electronic cigarette are patchy at best.

If you’re new to vaping, your first step may be to start exploring vape shops - like the online store here at Vape Mountain - to get a feel for what’s on offer. But, before you do so, it’s important that you read up on how safe vaping is, so you can decide for yourself whether it definitely is the best choice for you.
