Beginner’s Guide to Vaping

Where to shop, how to choose your first product and juice, etc.

Vaping has taken the USA by storm

Preface — I have a MPH degree and have worked in healthcare for about 4–5 years at the time of writing this article (2022). I have also vaped for about five years for reasons that are not common. I’m also in my late 20s. I also got a minor in biology from my BA degree, about 16 hours worth of college classes both macrobiology and microbiology.

Vaping has become a huge phenomena within the USA. If you are curious about vaping, I wanted to make a guide that will stay relevant, regardless of what products are on the market. For that reason, I will purposefully be vague aside from specific brand news.

Number One — How old are you?

Due to the fact that nicotine has the potential to influence a person’s biochemistry, especially the brain, it needs to be said that vaping is strictly for adults only. Some states have this as 18+, some have it as 21+. Some laws are trying to be pushed to make vaping strictly 21+. Many vape shops forbid sales to anyone 20 and younger because of how these laws and statues change. For that reason, only buy if you’re 21+. It doesn’t matter if you buy something nicotine free or not.

Number Two — Location!
