Vape: How to Make the Habit as Safe As Possible

When compared to smoking, vaping is much safer. Given that most people start vaping as a means to give up smoking, they are already increasing the amount of safety in their lives. However, this doesn't mean that they should be frivolous with vape.

 

It’s important that you understand how to keep yourself safe while vaping. This is what we are going to teach you during the course of this article.

 

  1. Don’t Vape Under Age

In the UK, there are strict rules and regulations governing the sale of vape. One of these rules is that it’s illegal for retailers to sell vape juice and equipment to people under the age of 18.

 

Whilst the under 18s might find this annoying, it is in their best interest. We do not know the full long-term consequences of vape and we do not know how it affects a growing body. For this reason, it is safer to refrain until you reach age.

 

Not only this, but if the retailers are caught selling to under 18s, they can get in serious trouble and potentially put out of business.

 

  1. Shop with a UK-based Retailer

As mentioned above, the vape industry in the UK is heavily regulated. This means that the juices and equipment sold in the UK must adhere to stringent health and safety regulations in order to be safe for sale to the public.

 

By shopping with a UK-based retailer or manufacturer, such as the vape store Kent, you help to ensure that the juices you vape are safe and have passed the tests that make them safe for human consumption. Any retailer or manufacturer that does not carry our safety tests is operating illegally if they're selling products in the UK.

 

Make sure that the company is in the UK and that it is registered in the UK too.

 

  1. Look after your Battery

One area of safety that is often overlooked by vapers is their battery safety. Again, this is regulated in the UK, so buying your devices from a UK shop, such as the vape store Kent, is a way to ensure safety.

 

However, you will also need to carry our regular checks on your batteries long term. Once a month, look at the battery in the device. Make sure that the wrap is intact has not undergone any significant deterioration. If there are any leaks in the battery, you need to dispose of it safely (take it to your local tip – do NOT throw it in your bin; it could catch fire).

 

  1. Vape Safe Amounts of Nicotine

In the UK, it’s illegal for retailers to sell juices with a greater concentration of nicotine than 20mg per 1mg of juice. However, some people choose to add their own nicotine. IF you do, DO NOT exceed 20mg/1mg. Nicotine is a potent stimulant and it can have serious consequences if you vape too much.

  

  

 

We hope that you bear these tips in mind when you vape. They will genuinely help to keep you safe.
