One thing cigarettes have in their favour is that they’re simple to operate.Just take one out the packet, flick your lighter and enjoy that plume of carcinogenic soot and carbon monoxide.It’s just as easy in any weather, too – which is just as well, seeing as outside is about the only place you can (usually) still smoke. While you might.....

Updated: December 2023“You’ve got to try this again, Julia!” I said to our accountant.She’s been smoking for decades, and occasionally mutters about quitting. I’d been trying her on various vape pens and devices trying to get her to switch. This time, I was trying her on an Aspire Mini Nautilus and iStick, hoping that a more powerful e-cig would.....

Updated: January 2024I didn't use to care about vapour clouds and sub-ohming at all.For me, vaping was all about getting nicotine and feeling that comforting punch at the back of my throat that reminded me of smoking.But somewhere down the line, things changed.As I moved further away from smoking and got accustomed to vaping, producing sizable clouds of vapour started.....
A friend of mine has spent much of the lockdown at home with his parents.He’s an ex-smoker, now avaper.
