Vaping has been designed as a less harmful alternative to smoking. Vape kits use nicotine-containing liquid (known as e-liquid) which is heated up, turning it into vapour, which is then inhaled as you would when smoking a cigarette.

To start vaping you’ll need to purchase a vape kit and e-liquid.

Vape kits are made up of two key components, a battery and a tank/pod that holds a heating coil and is filled with e-liquid. The battery provides power, which travels to the coil in your tank/pod. Power is converted into heat, which vaporises the e-liquid.

E-Liquid is used with a vape kit and will generally contain nicotine that tackles the cravings that smoking used to satisfy. Unlike cigarettes, e-liquids contain none of the 70 known carcinogens of a cigarette, these carcinogens cause smoking-related illnesses such as lung cancer and heart disease.

To help make your chances of switching more successful e-liquid is available in a range of flavours and nicotine levels. All Vape Local branches feature a compatible combination of both kits and e-liquids so you don’t have to worry about any research or wondering if you’ve picked the right items.
