Vaping: The Definition

Vaping can be defined as the act of inhaling water vapor through a personal vaporizer (the vaper’s tobacco-free version of the traditional cigarette).
Vaping is an alternative to smoking. It’s like smoking minus several of the adverse effects of the latter: no bad smell and bad breath, no cigarette burns, no more dirty ashtrays, less likelihood of getting cancer and other smoking-affiliated illnesses – you get the drift.
In short, vaping is the name given to the use of a vaporizer. The process involves applying heat to a liquid which generates vapor. The user, called a vaper (smoker in traditional cigarette circles) gets their nicotine hit through inhaling the almost odorless vapor (smoking equivalent of ‘smoke’).

A Quick History Of Vaping

Contrary to what many of us believe, vaping ‘came into being’ as far back as over five decades ago (1960s to be exact). Back then it was not what it is today – but of course. Vaporizers at the time weren’t easy to carry around. They were more of a static, tabletop kind.
The big brain behind their invention was Hon Lik, a Chinese pharmacist who took inspiration from the death of his father.
Cause? Cancer from smoking.
He called this device a Ruyan, which loosely translated means ‘like smoke’.
The Ruyan proved to be a hit, and it slowly vaporized its way into the U.S. in the mid-2000s, and here, vaping was born.

So…What is Vaping Like?

If you are completely new to the vape world and wondering what vaping is like, here’s another way of putting it.
The e-liquid comes packed in different nicotine strengths categorized in milligrams: ultra-light (6mg), medium (12mg), regular (18mg), and strong (24mg). There is even 0 milligrams which contains no nicotine for those who just want to vape minus the nicotine hit.
Stronger nicotine will result in a stronger throat sensation commonly known in the vaping world as a “throat hit” or “kick”. It depends on the individual user and how much nicotine they want.
Pro Tip: It’s advisable to start low, then work your way up to a zone that will take care of your nicotine demands.
