Do you go through bottles of e-liquid like there’s no tomorrow? Sure, you might be able to try every flavour possible – but it’s bound to be burning a hole through your wallet. Now with vape shops in the UK closing in an attempt to delay the spread of COVID-19, you’re going to have to make your e-cigarette liquid go further than ever before – but we can help!
Here are our top five tips to help make your e-juice last longer:
-
Try ‘retro’ vaping
There’s no denying, mods are great with their advanced features and huge vapour clouds. But they guzzle e-juice – especially when used at full power.
Now is the time to put down your high-powered vape mod and go back to basics. No tricks, no thrills – and, certainly no fancy features! Often, basic e-cigarette starter kits are the most efficient and last a lot longer. Higher nicotine strengths, coil resistances and low power can not only save on e-liquid but extend battery-life – allowing for an all-round easier experience.
-
Increase your nicotine strength
According to government advice, you’re only to leave the house if you cannot work from home, are doing essential shopping or exercising (once a day, with those from your household only). If you find yourself vaping non-stop – just to cure the boredom – it won’t be long before your e-liquid loses its sparkle. If this sounds familiar, it may be worth switching to one with a higher nicotine strength.
Although our vape shops are closed, you can still buy some of the best e-liquids in the UK, including high, medium and low nicotine strengths, online. These will help to make the most of your e-cigarette liquid during the lockdown period as you won’t need as much to get the desired hit.
-
Use nicotine salts
Are you after a smoother throat hit or a faster kick of nicotine? Nicotine salts (also known as Nic salts) are perfect. A regular e-juice doesn’t deliver the same hit as Nic salts as it uses a distilled form of nicotine.
Our nicotine salts are a great choice if you’re looking to curb your cravings for longer periods – eliminating the need to keep on buying bottles of e-liquid and top up your e-cig tank.
-
Switch to a high PG e-liquid
If you’re on your last bottle of e-liquid, you should consider using a lower power output and a high resistance coil. The more power you use, the faster your e-juice supply will run out, and low resistance coils use up a lot more power to work effectively. Although taking the power down as low as possible and using a high resistance coil will help to preserve e-liquid, you also want to avoid high VG e-liquids and opt for a high PG e-liquid instead.
VG e-liquids are thicker than PG e-liquids. Low resistance coils have wider ports and are therefore best for VG liquids. Higher resistance coils, however, work better with high PG liquids.
-
Keep an eye on how much your vaping
If your e-cigarette is constantly in your hand, you’re more likely to run into unexpected costs as you’ll vape without even realising, and in turn, use up your e-cig juice sooner.
Our best advice? Make a conscious effort to monitor how much you actually vape and keep track of your weekly intake to see where you could potentially cut down. It’s also a good idea to allocate yourself a ‘vape break’ during the day (as you would with a smoking break!) to make sure you’re not vaping for the sake of it.
There are of course various other things you can do to save on e-juice. Take buying shortfill e-liquids, for instance. These come in larger 60, 70, 120 and 200ml bottles (depending on the flavour) and have a gap at the top so you can add a nicotine shot, or two, and shake to create the perfect e-liquid.
