There are a few things to consider when buying your first Vape.

Taking into consideration some key factors will help to ensure you make a good long-term decision and choose a vape that will support your lifestyle change for the long run.

Range of flavours

It's important to choose a vaping brand that offers a range of flavours that you think you will like. In the pod-vaping space most brands of pods are not compatible with other brands of devices, except for a select few such as The Jones and Plus Pods. Therefore, it's important to invest in a device that has flavours you think you will like. It might be important for you to select a brand that offers tobacco and menthol flavoured pods. If you are more of a sweet tooth then you may opt for a brand that offers fruity flavours such a Berry and Mango

Different Nicotine Strengths

Choosing a brand that has multiple Nicotine strengths available provides flexibility. Many brands offer a stepped approach to Nicotine strengths, taking you from a higher level such a 50mg/ml through to 0mg/ml, supporting you on your journey from start to end.

How much capacity each pod holds

Just like different sized cigarette packets, pods come in a range of different sizes and therefore puffs per pod. Depending on how much and how often you think you will vape, different brands may be more suitable than others. Some pods such as RELX Pods hold 1.9ml of e-liquid, whilst other brands such as Juul hold only 0.7ml.

Budget

For many people vaping is a long-term commitment. It's important to find a vaping brand that meets your budget. At Vapespot we stock a range of vaping brands across many different price points so there is something for everyone.
