They Find A Reliable Supplier

The first thing every vaping veteran learns through trial and error is that you need to find the right supplier. The industry has gone mainstream, and vape shops are popping up around every corner, but not all of them are created equal. It pays to do some research on online or local shops. You can look at customer reviews, browse the site, and even hit up their customer support to see how reliable they are.

All these little things will help you get a feel for different companies and determine which ones offer the best products and have proven to be reliable. Once you’ve found a site or shop you like, start building a relationship with that company – loyal customers that keep coming back can always expect a few cool perks.

They Get the Right VG To PG Ratio

The next thing every pro will tell you is that you need to know why you’re getting into vaping and what kind of experience you’re looking for. Generally, there’s a couple of basic types of vapers:

• People with health issues who want an easy way to take their CBD
• Long-time smokers trying to cut down on nicotine and eventually quit
• The younger crowd that’s into tricks and mods

Well, if you’re in it for big clouds and some cool tricks, you’ll want more Vegetable Glycol (VG), aka Glycerol, in your e-juice. It’s the component that gives off vast amounts of vapor when heated. If you’re more conservative and practical about it, but like a more intense flavor, then go for more Propylene Glycol (PG) in your e-liquid. It offers less vapor, but a richer flavor and powerful throat hit.

There are tons of flavors and nicotine strengths to choose from, but the VG to PG ratio is the main speck to look out for.

They Can Mix And Match

Speaking of flavor, people will often try out 2-3 different bottles and stick with a specific flavor profile they come to like after the first month. They usually just keep getting more of the same thing, thinking that they’ve found their ideal fit. The main issue with this is that if you only vape an e-liquid of a certain flavor and strength, you can develop flavor fatigue, aka Vaper’s Tongue.

Now, don’t let the ominous name scare you – it just means that your tastebuds will be so used to the flavor that the e-juice will start to taste bland. A thin oily layer may even develop on parts of the tongue, diminishing your sense of taste.

That’s why the pros switch flavors every now and then, even going with a lower nicotine or PG content vape juice to reset their taste buds. You can even go with a flavorless e-liquid for a week or two to give your tongue a bit of a break.

They Maintain Their Gear Properly To Avoid Leaks

The number one issue most beginners face is that they waste quite a bit of their vape juice due to leaks. It can be frustrating for the first couple of months, especially when you go through your e-liquid reserves twice as fast as you should.

Here are a few things that the pros do to eliminate this problem and make their supplies last longer:

• Pour the e-juice carefully and never overfill;
  Tighten everything up, but not so tight to damage the rubber seals;
• Regularly clean their tanks;
• Know the right power setting for their vape pen/pod;
• Replace the rubber o-rings now and then;
• Keep the pen upright when not in use;

Keep these tips in mind, and you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble.

As you can see, the e-juice pros understand the fundamentals and know that you only need a couple of good habits to get the most out of the vaping experience. The best thing is that it won’t take a lot of time and effort, just a bit of research and preparation on your part.
