The recommendation of the Nexus comes to us from Josh who says: ‘With adjustable airflow and the ability to use salt nicotine ejuices this is a device that’s not only portable but keeping with the times, especially when you factor in the ceramic coils it uses for better flavour.’

The Joyetech eGo AIO ECO

The Joyetech eGo AIO ECO is a pen vape kit with a minimalist style and specially designed battery technology, which extends the lifespan of the 650mAh built in battery by optimising power output.

Kieran suggested the Joyetech eGo: ‘This is a device I can take with me wherever I might be going, I fill it up in the morning and I’m pretty much set for the day. You also get a mouth to lung inhale thanks to the ECO Coils so it really suits people who have just switched over to vaping.’

The Innokin Proton Kit

The Wismec RX GEN3 Dual Mod

The Wismec RX GEN3 is the latest incarnation of the classic Reuleaux design. Powered by dual 18650 batteries and boasting a 230W maximum output this is a mod that works well with sub ohm tanks and RDAs alike. A 1.3 inch OLED screen displays the various output modes available to the user, including variable wattage and temperature control.

Kathryn has recommended the RX GEN3: ‘It’s a classic for a reason, it has a distinctive look and a user friendly design, the first time I picked it up it just fit so well. I also like the fact that Wismec have switched to dual 18650 batteries as it makes it a bit lighter than older models without sacrificing too much power.’

The Vaporesso Cascade Tank

The Vaporesso Cascade Tank is a 2ml sub ohm tank that balances flavour and cloud production. Precision machining means that this tank is easy to assemble and disassemble, the new Isolation Tank Structure reduces the amount of dry hits by ensuring that when filled the coils are always wicked with eliquid.

The Vaporesso Cascade is a personal favourite of Jack: ‘The airflow on this tank is outstanding, by using triple airflow there is increased cloud and flavours in eliquid are clearer. This tank also has plug and pull coils meaning I can quickly replace my coil which is really convenient.’

JustFog MINIFIT VS. Perkey eCard

May 8, 2018 Vape Club

Pod Vape Kits are popular for a good reason – a combination of compact design, ease of use and a mouth to lung draw make them a firm favourite for new users and experienced vapers looking for a device to use on the go. This month we’re pitting two of the most popular refillable pod kits on the market head to head – the Justfog MINIFIT and the Perkey eCard.

For those of you unfamiliar with pod vapes, they are a vape device which use cartridges that contain eliquid and a coil, that plug into a mod. These pods can either be disposed of when empty, or in some cases – such as with the two devices mentioned above they can be refilled with your choice of High Nicotine eliquid.

Perkey eCard

The Perkey Ecard is a compact vape starter kit, that has a 400 mAh built in battery and uses 2ml refillable pods. This is a large capacity battery for a mod of this size and it can be recharged via it’s USB slot. The eCard kit comes with two refillable pods with replacement pods available. These pods are recommended for use with higher PG eliquids and can also be used with salt nicotine eliquids.

With a mouth to lung draw and 1.5 Ohm coils this device is suited for those looking for a restricted inhale, similar to that of a cigarette. The Perkey is also breath activated: by simply inhaling on the device’s mouthpiece vapour production will begin, those looking for extra power will be pleased to know that on the side of the Perkey is a ‘turbo button’ for increased power output.

With it’s slim profile and easy operation, the Perkey eCard Starter Kit is understandably a growing favourite amongst vapers of all levels.

JustFog MINIFIT

The JustFog MINIFIT is a small yet chunky pod vape kit. It’s powered by a built in 370 mAh battery that can be charged through the device’s USB port. The MINIFIT utilises 1.5ml refillable pods that are wicked with super absorbent Japanese cotton for improved taste. The device uses 1.6 Ohm coils; each pod has two juice ports for quicker and cleaner refilling.

By using a 1.6 Ohm coil this kit is designed to be used with high PG eliquids for an increased throat hit. The JustFog offers a tighter inhale for a mouth to lung vape, that mimics the draw of a cigarette. This device also has multiple safety features including Short Circuit Protection, Overheating Protection, Overdischarge Protection and Overcharge Protection giving the user peace of mind when using and charging the MINIFIT.

With it’s clean aesthetic, easy refilling and portability the JustFog MINIFIT is ideal for vapers looking for a discreet device and new users looking for a reliable vape starter kit.

Summary

Overall, these are two devices that are well balanced; being simple enough to operate for new starters, yet still providing enough power and features to keep established vapers happy. There is no clear winner here, but both devices have their upsides – the Perkey has a larger battery, the MINIFIT uses Japanese cotton wicks for improved flavour. It really comes down to preference.

Guide to Travelling with eCigs and Vapes

April 13, 2018April 13, 2018 Vape Club

April, is always a popular month for holidays, and with VApril still going strong we’d like to encourage you to keep using your vape even when away from home. Travelling by air can be stressful at the best of times, so we’ve compiled a handy guide to help you use your ecigarette abroad.

Check Before You Travel

The laws surrounding vaping differ from country to country, we always recommend you check on the relevant government websites before you start vaping in a foreign country. The same is true when travelling by air to your destination, airlines rarely let you vape onboard their aircraft, or in the airport itself.

Travel Checklist

Boarding Pass, Passport, Tickets… oh yes, Vape! Make sure when you travel you’re prepared for any ecigarette emergency, we recommend you bring the following:

Packing Tips

Imagine opening your suitcase on arrival and your flip flops and Hawaiian shirts are covered in eliquid – not a great start. Proper packing can help keep your holiday gear in tip top condition.

We recommend you secure eliquid bottles to avoid leaks, to avoid breakage plastic bottles are a good idea. Invest in a decent vape carry case, it will not not only help you keep things organised but also protect your vape hardware.

Same goes for vape batteries, keep them stored in either individual vape battery cases or rubber sleeves. Finally, empty your tank before boarding the flight as the change in air pressure can cause leaks.

Getting Through Security

A lot of people ask ‘can you bring eliquid on planes?’ Eliquid is subject to the same laws as any other liquid when travelling by plane. Usually no more than 100ml of liquid per bottle, and they should be stored in clear plastic bags. Make sure you stick to the law to avoid confiscation of your new tasty shortfill.

Keep your vaping gear in your hand luggage, along with the original packaging (if possible) in case you need to prove that it is a vape device. With this in mind keep your vape device fully assembled, a separated battery and atomiser can raise suspicion. Finally, don’t vape in the airport unless in the designated area.

Of course the laws surrounding bringing a vape on a plane will differ across the board. The CAA offer guidelines to help.

Arrival

You’ve made it through security, the plane has landed, and you’re settled into your hotel / questionable looking hostel that’s definitely not four stars as advertised. Put your feet up and soak up a bit of the atmosphere – before you start chucking clouds make sure you check with the staff that you can use your ecigarette in the hotel.

PLEASE NOTE: The information is a general guide to travelling with ecigarettes and vaping equipment, but further research should always be taken before travelling. Laws and regulations of a country can change over time, so it’s wise to find out the current laws in your destination before embarking. Vape Club holds no responsibility for what experiences you may have on your travels.

For more information on travelling and vaping, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Vape Club’s Staff Eliquid Picks of April 2018

April 6, 2018April 23, 2018 Vape Club

April may be the month of fools, but you can’t pull the wool over our eyes! Picking the right flavour is a very subjective experience and with the launch of VApril vaping is becoming more popular. To help you on your way, we’re proud to present our favourite eliquids of April 2018, as chosen by us.

Blue Sonic by The Big Tasty

Blue Sonic by Big Tasty is a blend of raspberries and blueberries available in 100ml shortfill for only £19.99

Blue Sonic by The Big Tasty, is a fruity 70% VG blend of blueberry and raspberry, available in 100ml short fill bottles. The suggestion of Blue Sonic comes to us from Steve, stating:
“It’s a fresh and fruity tasting vape, blue raspberry is a flavour that has come along and taken the market by storm; this is a no nonsense version and is reminiscent of those giant ice blast drinks you get at the cinema”.

No.32 by Beard Vape Co

No.32 by Beard Vape Co is a 60% VG dessert flavour that’s half cake, half donut; with a generous helping of cinnamon and sugar, available in 10ml bottles and 50ml shortfills. This blend was picked by Manuella, who said:

“It’s the perfect combination of cinnamon and cake, especially when vaped at high wattage, it tastes just like something my Grandma would bake on a Sunday afternoon. I would strongly recommended No.32 for anyone who enjoys sweet eliquids”

Kanzi by Twelve Monkeys

Kanzi by Twelve Monkeys is a blend of sweet taste; featuring watermelon, strawberry, kiwi and candy for an exotic 80% VG ejuice. Available in 10ml bottles and 50ml shortfills. Kanzi is one of Rob’s favourite, he describes it as:

“The perfect mix of tropical flavours, that is a definite all day vape”

Honey Roast Tobacco is a rich and layered 80% VG flavour from Element Eliquids Tobacconist range. With a dark tobacco base that compliments a blend of nuts, caramel and a light vanilla – available in 10ml bottles. Dan is a huge fan and recommends it because:

“While it’s reminiscent of cigarettes, this particular mixture has a sweet and nutty layer that works really well with the tobacco base”.

Cherry by Danish Eliquid

Cherry by Danish Eliquids has a pastry flavour base that’s buttery and smooth, layered with a sweet cherry jam; creating a 70% VG ejuice with a genuine danish taste. Available in 50ml shortfills. Our man, Foss, has very strong opinions:

“first off it’s got a Viking on the bottle, that’s just very cool! The flavour itself is light and buttery, the cherry is really present on exhale and is a strong fruit taste, but it doesn’t overpower the rest of the juice”.

Fresh Pink of Bel Air by 100 Large

Only £19.99 — Fresh Pink of Bel Air is a 100ml shortfill, with two nicotine shots included – for only £19.99

Fresh Pink of Bel Air by 100 Large is a mixture of fresh tasting pink fruits, paired with a sweet and delicate Aloe Vera flavour. Each 70% VG 100ml shortfill bottle comes with two 10ml nicotine shots and a cloth. Recommended by Josh, who describes it as:

“A light and sweet flavour with well mixed notes of red grape and pomegranate that create a fruity bouquet, the aloe vera provides a really fresh aftertaste. I’ve been vaping it solidly all day; and can see it being very popular over the Summer… so for two weeks in July”.

Summary

Well there you have it, like we said taste is a very personal thing. Picking the right ejuice is essential to a good vaping experience. Our specially designed Eliquid Explorer can help you pick an eliquid with the best nicotine strength, flavour, and VG ratio for you.

VApril 2018: A Guide to Vaping

March 29, 2018 Vape Club

With the growing popularity of vaping and increasing support for the health benefits of ecigarettes, we are pleased to announce that Vape Club have partnered up with UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA), amongst others to create VApril.

What is VApril you ask? VApril is a month long celebration of all the good things in vaping, from the community, to its inherent health benefits. In 2018 we ask smokers to take the VApril challenge to try and give up the cigarettes for good. It has a similar inspiration to Stoptober in that we are urging people to give up smoking, and in this case pick up a vape.

Expert Opinion

John Dunne, director of UKVIA has said “This will be the largest campaign ever run by the vaping industry and reflects how far the sector has come in a relatively short period of time”

This comes off the back of the recent PHE Report, with key findings including:

Vaping poses a fraction of the risk compared to smoking.
Switching completely from smoking to vaping has substantial health benefits.
E-cigarettes could be assisting with 20,000 new quits every year.
E-cigarette use is linked to improved quit success rates a drop in smoking rates across the country.

With the most substantial being – “e-cigarettes are around 95% less harmful than smoking”

The Issue of Cost

One of the biggest drives behind quitting smoking is cost, with an average 20 pack of cigarettes costing £10 in the UK. If you were a light smoker, smoking 10 cigarettes a day, that would cost around £1825 per year. Compared to the use of a disposable cigalike, such as the Vaporlites VL5, which contains the equivalent inhales of 20 cigarettes for £4.99, which would cost you around £912 per year. For 20 a day smokers the average spend would be around £3650 for cigarettes, versus £1825 if you were to use the VL5.

Here to Help

Getting into vaping is easier with ever, with constant upgrades to existing devices and new ones being released; vaping has a focus on supporting new starters. For further information on the right vape starter kit for you, we recommend you take a look at our Starter Kit Blog Post.

If you have any questions regarding VApril, starter kits or general enquiries, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

VApril 2018 Guide to Vape Starter Kits

March 27, 2018 Vape Club

With VApril just around the corner, there’s never been a better time to ditch the cigs, and get into vaping. It can all seem a bit intimidating at first with the huge array of different devices and equipment on offer. This week we’re doing a roundup of some of our favourite starter kits. These vape starter kits can be split into distinct categories – Pod Vapes, Cigalikes, and Pen Vapes.

Cigalike

The cigalike is an inhale activated vape device. Meaning that by drawing on it as you would a cigarette it will begin to produce vapour. The cigalike is light and compact, featuring a Cartomiser that’s preloaded with eliquid. The Cartomisers can be replaced when empty, and they often feature a variety of flavours – from tobacco to fruit mixes. This particular ecigarette is often the first port of call for those looking to move into vaping. We offer both the Vapourlites VL4 e-cig Starter Kit and the VL5 Starter Kit.

Pod Vape Kits

Pod vape kits have been designed to be simple to use and maintain, comprised of a battery and pod atomiser – which contains a coil, cotton, and eliquid. A relatively new kind of vape device, the pod system will see a wave of constant innovation and variations, driving better performance and ease of use. Salt Nicotine eliquids are becoming increasingly popular for use with pod vapes as they combine high nicotine content with a smooth throat hit.

Pods are favoured not only by new users but also experienced vapers – for their clean aesthetic and discreet vaping capabilities. There are two categories that these vape devices can be split into: ‘refillable pod vapes’ and ‘closed pod systems’.

Closed pod systems, such as the aforementioned ‘Cigalike’, use pre-filled eliquid pods, that when empty can be disposed of and replaced; which makes them the less complicated option; simply plug in and vape. Closed pod vapes include the Aspire Gusto Mini, Myblu Vape Starter Kit, and the SMPO Ultra Portable Vape, which each have a range of prefilled pods.

On the other hand, refillable pod systems allow the user to refill their pod atomisers with their choice of eliquid, again, most commonly high nicotine ejuices; with a 50 PG or higher ratio. These devices combine the variety and choice of eLiquids, but with the simplicity of a basic device.

Those looking for refillable pod vapes should check out the Justfog Minifit, Mi Pod Refillable Vape, and Kimsun 2R Slim.

Pen Vapes

Pen vapes are perhaps the most common vape device. Made up of a battery and a clearomiser tank. Vape pens work well with new users as they often have one-button operation and a mouth to lung inhale, which mimics the draw of a cigarette.

In terms of eliquid, we recommend using a High PG and medium to high Nicotine strength ejuice for best results; the most common being 10mg and upwards. We stock a large number of vape pen starter kits – such as the JACVapour S17 TF, Innokin Endura T18e, and the Innokin PocketMod Kit.
