FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We offer a variety of starter vape kits here at House of Vapes - London and ideally your first vape kit should be one that is simple to use and that you’re comfortable with using.

A closed pod system, such as the JUUL Starter Kit or Vuse Pro kit are ideal, you simply charge the device, pop in a pod and you can start vaping straight away. Once the e-liquid inside the pod has been used, you simply dispose of the pod and replace with a new one.

Alternatively, you can read our blog posts on Pen Style Beginners Guide or our Pod Style Beginners Guide to learn more.

Vape kits consist of three parts:

•  An atomiser or coil
• The e-liquid container known by names such as ‘tank’, ‘clearomizer’ or ‘pod.
• The battery

The atomiser, also known as a coil, consists of a metal coil with cotton surrounded. The e-liquid soaks into this cotton, the battery sends a charge to the metal coil which produces heat, the e-liquid evaporates creating vapour which is then inhaled by the user.

The wool within an atomiser only lasts a period of time, which is dependant on use, so must be replaced when it begins to taste burnt.

The strength you should go for it dependant on how many cigarettes you where smoking prior; if you have never smoked we highly recommend you do not use a vape with nicotine, or vape at all.

• Smokes a few cigarettes, or not every day: 0mg - 3mg
• 5-10 cigarettes a day: 6mg
• 10-20 cigarettes a day: 10mg - 20mg
• 20+ cigarettes a day: 18mg - 20mg

Nicotine salts are e-liquids that use nic salt instead of freebase nicotine. Nicotine salt originates from the tobacco plant, has a much weaker throat hit and your body absorbs this much faster, reducing cravings faster. 

This is all dependant on which device you have. If your device is classified as ‘Subohm’, which means the atomizer/coil resistance is a 0.9 ohm resistance reading or less then you need an e-liquid with a high VG content, preferably with 60VG or more.

Most starter kits, such as vape pens or vape pods, need an e-liquid with a PG content of 50 or higher, such as 50/50 e-liquids which are usually in 10ml bottles.

All of our e-liquids have the VG/PG ratio listed in the product description so you can purchase the correct e-liquid for your device with ease. 

If you want to learn more about what high VG e-liquids are check out our blog post 'High VG E-Liquids & Juices'.

The cost varies from brand to brand and how often you are using your vape kit. The more the device is used the more atomisers/pods/e-liquids you will need to replace.
