6. Zero Nicotine e-Juices for Chain Vapers

If you are a chain vaper, then it’s a good idea to combine your nicotine e-liquids with zero nicotine ones. Unlike cigarettes, vapes don’t combust. In other words, it’s easy to chain vaping than chain smoking. If you vape too much nicotine, then you might feel dizzy or even experience nausea. Therefore, it’s a good option to combine zero nicotine e-liquids with your nicotine e-liquids.

7. Vaping Techniques and Mouth Inhalation

Perhaps you know that cigar smokers usually smoke without inhaling. It might sound as a waste of e-liquid and nicotine, but some vapers also choose to keep the vapor in the mouth without inhalation. The mucous membranes in your mouth can still absorb nicotine, although not as much as if you inhale the vapor. This is one of the most uncommon vaping techniques, but there are still some vapers who enjoy mouth inhalation.

8. Choose the Right E-Liquid

E-liquids are mainly composed of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG). Moreover, if you vape e-liquids with nicotine, you need to pay some attention to your e-liquid nicotine strength.

There are three main things you need to check for your e-liquid:

•  PG:VG ratio: E-liquids with more vegetable glycerin are ideal for cloud chasers. On the other hand, if you are looking for a stronger throat hit then you should choose a higher propylene glycol ratio. Your vaping style varies depending on your e-liquid ingredients.
•  Nicotine strength: It’s important to choose the right nicotine strength. The strength varies greatly depending on the e-liquid. For example, there are e-liquids with just 4 mg/ml while some nicotine e-liquids have concentrations of 36 mg/ml and even higher.
•  Flavor: it’s more a vaping style or preference than a technique, but flavor is also very important for a satisfying vaping experience.

9. Select your Preferable Wattage

More wattage means more power output. In other words, more vapor and flavor production. Nowadays, many vaping mods come with adjustable wattage and voltage.

If you are looking for flavor production, you should get a vaping device that reaches at least 40-50W. At this wattage you can start feeling a throat hit and to get more vapor production.

Many advanced vapers choose to vape at a wattage between 50-75W. Moreover, vapers who participate in cloud competitions tend to vape at wattages higher than 75W.
