When you first start vaping, it can be a little confusing. There are so many different aspects to the habit that it’s easy to get lost in what can appear to be complex terminology. Well, if that sounds familiar, you’ve come to the right place. Today, we’re going to explore some of the terms that we use within the vape industry. By the time you reach the end of this article, you'll know how to wax lyrical with the best of them.

Device

This is an easy one – it’s just the think that you use to vape. Devices come in a huge range of shapes and sizes, but when someone says “device” they’re simply referring to the thing you use to vape.

Pop into any E cig shop London, and you'll see just how many types of different device there are – tonnes. If you're new to vaping, stick to the basic devices to start with. The bigger devices are complex and it can take time to get the hang of them. It’s frustrating when you're a beginner and your device is too supped up.

Tank

Easy – this is the part of the device that stores the e-juice. You fill it up whenever it runs out. Sometimes the tanks are fully detachable, and sometimes they only have an opening.

Tanks also come in a range of sizes, but in the UK, you can no longer buy tanks that can hold more than 2ml of liquid at a time.

Battery

The battery provides the power to heat the coils to heat the juice – without it, you wouldn't be able to vape. The battery is normally the biggest part of the device. They tend to be made of lithium. This means that there are some safety issues around them. Lithium batteries have been known to explode. They’re the same batteries that we use in mobile phones, so the risks are about the same (which is to say, it’s probably not something you'll encounter, but it’s worth keeping in mind). Just check your battery regularly and make sure it doesn't leak or have signs of burning. If it does, dispose of it safely and buy a new battery.

Coils

You'll find the coils somewhere in the device. They’re simply heating elements that draw their heat from the battery. There are different types of coil, so we won’t go into too much detail. The important thing to know is that the coils heat the e-liquid (and different coils do this in different ways) and this creates the vape. Coils usually need changing every now and again.

The e-liquid

There are hundreds – maybe even thousands – of vape juices you can buy. The best vape London is a matter of personal taste. In other words, don’t let people tell you “this juice is the best” or “that juice is the best”. Juices are like food, people have different preferences.
