What is it Like To Switch To Vaping?

Making the switch to vaping is an incredibly important step but you might be nervous about trying. It is entirely normal to feel anxious about significant changes in your life. Perhaps it would help you to make such a meaningful move if you understood more about how vaping might feel.

It's always helpful to know what to expect and so here's our handy guide:

Does vaping taste like smoking?

Vaping enables you to enjoy a vast array of flavours and you will find those that you love. From simple menthol e-liquids to complex dessert blends, there's something to suit all palates.

Clearly a custard flavour isn't going to taste like a cigarette and neither is a berry blend but that has to be a good thing. The truth is, cigarettes do not taste pleasant. The only reason you might think that you like the taste is that your little grey cells associate it with relief of your nicotine cravings!

Having said that, many new vapers find it useful to get things started with tobacco flavours. The somewhat familiar taste is comforting and helps to smooth the transition to vaping.

Once you have made the transition, you can then explore the exciting flavour options at your disposal.

Does vaping relieve your cravings?

Yes! E-liquids are available with a variety of nicotine strengths and so you will find options that relieve your cravings. Every time you take a puff on your vape, you will absorb nicotine and your cravings will be relieved. In tis respect, vaping certainly replicates smoking. Our nicotine guide provides the detailed information you need.

Does vaping feel like smoking?

You may have tried nicotine replacement therapies such as nicotine patches. If so, you have probably found that they don't work for you. This will be because while the patches help to relieve nicotine cravings, they don't replace the action of smoking or the throat hit you experience. Neither do they give you something to hold in your hand. Vaping gives you all of these things and that is why it ensures that it will be much easier to quit smoking.

What is it really like to make the switch?

For the first few days after you stop smoking and start vaping, you will probably find that you don’t feel entirely right. You might feel a little cranky and irritable because change is never a comfortable thing. But this feeling will quickly pass. Most vapers report that they felt happy and comfortable with vaping very quickly. Most cease craving their ciggies in just a couple of days and many report that they soon find the idea of smoking to be unpleasant.

It’s also worth noting that coughing is a common symptom among those who have just quit smoking. Like the crankiness, it’ll fade after a few days and is simply the result of the lungs repairing themselves and ejecting the accumulated nasties.

People invariably report feeling healthier and more energetic once they’ve switched fully from smoking to vaping. of course, you and your clothes will also smell much nicer and you may well experience a sense of achievement. Your finances will improve too!
