If you're serious about vaping, being up to scratch with the correct terminology is a must. Educate yourself with our glossary and refer back to it whenever you need to remind yourself of a term!

There’s not much sweeter than the memory of Michael Jordan helping Bugs Bunny save the galaxy like only sporting heroes of the mid-90s can, but Space Jam E-juice might be just that. “Bought to earth in 2012” Space Jam brings we mere humans a slam dunk of tasty vaping flavours even Mr. Jordan can’t beat.

A box mod is a specific type of vape mod. Mods were originally developed by vapers who wanted to get more out of their devices. Aspiring engineers, creatives and craftsmen would get savvy with their tools, tinkering with their devices to allow for greater vapour production or longer battery life, for example.

Of course, this DIY approach is not always safe and manufacturers saw an opportunity to develop their own modified devices. And so the vape mod was born!

What is a vape pen? If you have visions of writing your signature in scented cloud-like font, I've got bad news for you. However, if you want a compact, convenient device for vaping then a vape pen is the perfect choice. The term vape pen refers to electronic cigarettes that resemble, you guessed it; a pen. These differ from 'cigalikes', which more closely resemble cigarettes, or various 'mods', which have been put together from various parts and often have a bulkier appearance.

Ah, so you want to know how to vape bigger clouds? This is a closely guarded secret, handed down through the generations to just a select group of chosen individuals. Their name? The cloud chasers.

Actually, creating bigger vapour clouds, or 'cloud chasing', isn't that complicated, in theory at least. If you're looking for a combination that will create large amounts of vapour, then you'll need three main things; a lot of power, a low resistance, and a high proportion of VG compared to PG in your e-liquid. You'll also need some DIY skills if you want to make it to the top.

The atomiser. It's a fundamental part of your vaping equipment, and without it you couldn't heat up the e-liquid, meaning you couldn't vape at all! It goes without saying, then (though I'll say it anyway) that knowing when to replace your atomiser is an important part of the vaping experience. The good news is that you'll usually be able to tell, as long as you know the signs to look out for. When you know, you know, if you know what I mean?

There’s been a lot of controversy and confusion with regards to the legislation of buying e-cigarettes. Many major credit card companies, such as Visa, have been known to restrict the sales of e-cigarettes. Unfortunately this can have an impact both on retailers like ourselves, and also you, the customer! We don't want anything to get in the way of you switching to a much healthier alternative to smoking, and we think that, as long as you're old enough, access to vaping equipment should be universal.

Well, you've found your way to Vape Mountain. That's good news for you if you're looking for some information on vaporiser maintenance. Vaping technology is still pretty new, so many people aren't too knowledgeable about how to care for their equipment. As such, if your vape starts acting up you might just write it off and buy a new one.

While that might be a good thing for us as a retailer, we're not that unscrupulous (look at all our scruples!) and, since we have a passion for vaping and vaping enthusiasts, we want to help people get the most out of their equipment and ensure that you're not shelling out unnecessarily. Here are some of the ways of looking after your gear.

VG stands for vegetable glycerine. “Vegetable glycerine juice” may sound like a super-green hippie smoothie made from blended grass and turnip pulp, but it’s actually far more exciting than that!

When you vape, a groovy little substance called e-juice is heated, turning to vapour which is inhaled by you. This liquid will have one of two bases: propylene glycol (PG) or vegetable glycerine. Often it’s made from a combination of both, where the user can tailor the ratio depending on their personal preference.

Today, we’re going to a dive a little deeper into VG juice so you can learn exactly what it is and what effect it has on your vaping juice!
