When switching from smoking to vaping, an e-cigarette starter kit is the first thing you need to have. However, there are several choices you can consider, so it’s smart to get to know them first before you begin shopping.
Disposable Cigalikes
A “cigalike” is any e-cigarette that looks exactly like a typical tobacco cigarette and is the most basic product available in stores. It’s affordable and may be packaged individually or as a set. Cigalikes normally last for around 100-200 puffs, and then you will have to buy another one. This disposable e-cigarette is undoubtedly the easiest and most cost-effective choice for vaping newbies.
Rechargeable Cigalikes
Rechargeable cigalikes include pre-filled disposable cartridges, which are all that you need to replace since the batteries can be, well, recharged. Thus, it is clear that compared to its disposable twin, this type of e-cigarette is a lot cheaper for long-term use. In addition, a rechargeable cigalike is a perfect substitute for the hand-to-mouth drill of conventional.
Pod Vaping Systems
Slightly larger than a cigalike is a pod system, which uses a plastic pod to contain some 1-2 ml of e-liquid and creates more vapor than a cigalike (both disposable and rechargeable). Vapers also usually find pod systems more satisfying, thanks to the latest type of e-liquid known as nicotine salt e-liquid, which closely resembles the nicotine found in tobacco leaves.
Vape Pens
A vape pen is probably the best deal for a smoker who wants to switch to vaping in the most cost-effective and non-restrictive way. Vape pens are excellent in terms of vapor production and battery life, not to mention refillable and compatible with any e-liquid of your choice, even nicotine salt. And the cost of owning a vape pen is rather cheap – just get a new atomizer coil for the tank from time to time, period.
Advanced Mod
Also referred to as box mods because of their shape, advanced mods are true to their name – they have the most and the most advanced features among all vaping devices today. An advanced mod typically uses two batteries allowing for a full day of use and has adjustable power (can be set to a 200-watt maximum or even higher) and temperature settings. It is compatible with almost any tank or atomizer as well. But even as box mods are undeniably the best vaping devices out there these days, they may not be right for you as a rookie.
At the end of the day, you need an e-cigarette starter kit that fits your current level of vaping familiarity and your budget.
