Why do smokers love to smoke?

zero nicotine vaping

Even though smoking combustible cigarettes are the greatest cause of preventable death on a global scale, generations of smokers have continued to purchase them in large amounts to fulfill their tobacco dependencies. Although it’s fair to say that most people know the addictive qualities of nicotine, as well as the negative health effects of prolonged smoking, people of all ages still continue to light up. We believe it’s because smokers love to smoke for other reasons social, behavioral and physical factors that all have the ability to play a part in their overall dependency. So for those asking, “why do I love smoking cigarettes”, here’s your answer.

It gives them pleasure

For a smoker, the inhalation from their combustible cigarette gives them an overwhelming amount of pleasure. Whether it’s their first smoke of the morning, a quick puff during their break or a cigarette after a hard day’s work, smoking has the ability to help ease anxiety and discomfort.

Needless to say, this pleasurable sensation that smokers know all too well is most likely caused because their mind and body are stuck in a constant state of nicotine withdrawal. If they have been smoking for years, the moment that nicotine attaches to the receptors in their brain, their fidgety tension starts to diminish and their body can begin to relax. However, this calmed state doesn’t last long and within 30 minutes the process is already repeating itself. So, that “pleasure” smokers are feeling is simply their body craving more nicotine.

The good news is that there is a safer nicotine delivery device that does exist. An e-cigarette, such as Logic Pro, has the ability to give the body the nicotine strength that it craves, while also giving the vaper the ability to rid their body of tobacco. E-juices are available in a wide-range of nicotine concentration levels, which also gives the vaper an opportunity to choose a level that works best for dependency.

It keeps them busy

Many people who fulfill their nicotine addiction through the use of traditional cigarettes are doing so because they enjoy watching the movements of smoke or simply love that it keeps their hands busy. So, why not satisfy both of those guilty pleasures through the use of e-cigarettes. Since they are comparable to combustible cigarettes, an e-cigarette allows the user to exhale a sweet-smelling vapor that dispels in a matter of seconds while also mimicking the look and actions of their combustible cousins.

It’s part of their routine

It can be incredibly hard to kill an old habit which is why quitting combustible cigarettes can be challenging. For people who have smoked for years, the physical act of doing it has become so ingrained in their day-to-day routine that they don’t even think about it anymore. That being said, if you’re aware of your daily routine with cigarettes, you have the power to make a healthier, more informed choice by modifying your routine to include an e-cigarette.

E-cigarettes put more control into the hands of the vaper, allowing them to choose their nicotine concentration level. Over time, some vapers are even able to switch over and enjoy the pleasures that can come from zero nicotine vaping. While zero nicotine vaping fulfills many of the same pleasures of regular vaping, it does so without any of the harmful side effects of nicotine inhalation.

How are vapers using e-cigs to help with anxiety?

 vaping benefits

Each and every one of us becomes stressed for different reasons. It’s when this stress develops, based on the elements in our environment, that the strain has the potential to evolve into an anxiety disorder — relationship problems, workplace dilemmas, financial strain, our own self-conscious awareness, fear of places, objects and situations and even social situations are all things that cause people anxiety. While this disorder is relatively common and most definitely treatable, extended worries, fears and emotional triggers can sometimes become too overpowering to bear. While many people use vaping to replace combustible cigarettes in order to reduce the negative impact on their physical health after years of smoking cigarettes, many also rely on vaping to help with their mental stress levels as well. Let’s break down the barriers and take a closer look at exactly how your mental health can benefit from vaping.

Smoking causes anxiety

Although people who struggle with their nicotine addiction and tobacco dependency may feel less stressed when they take a puff from their combustible cigarette, smoking is actually known to cause anxiety, not alleviate it. In fact, your risk of developing an anxiety disorder are much higher if you’re a smoker… five times higher.

However, an anxiety disorder is not your only concern, prolonged smoking of traditional cigarettes actually increases your chances of developing a panic attack disorder by 12 times.  

Thankfully, vaping benefits extend beyond your physical health and has the ability to reduce your anxiety and alleviate panic disorders that are caused by high amounts of nicotine. E-liquids come in an assortment of nicotine levels which gives the user the option of changing concentration amounts at any time. Vaping gives you the control you need, so, if you feel your anxiety levels creeping up, maybe try reducing your nicotine concentration to something slightly lower than what you were vaping before.

How exactly does vaping help with anxiety levels?

Aside from the ability to choose an e-liquid with lower nicotine levels, or simply only vape zero nicotine e-cigarettes, Vapers are also freeing themselves from the harmful side effects of tobacco use, which can have serious impacts on their mental health. Tobacco has been pegged as one of the leading causes of sleeping problems, which correlates as a prime contribution to many anxiety disorders.

Basic safety tips for vaping

Over the years, there have been stories reported about faulty or defective e-cig devices. Although it’s incredibly uncommon, as with most electronic accessories, it’s important to do your research and always put your safety first. That’s why we’ve crafted this list of helpful tips that will help vapers to elevate their vaping experience by maintaining the longevity of the device and  practicing basic vaping safety.

How to care for your e-cigarette battery

The most important thing a vaper can do to ensure safety is to properly care for their batteries. We recommend for you to always inspect your batteries prior to use, making sure that they are free of any dampness or damage. However, there are a few other ways that you can maintain your batteries.

  • Store your batteries at room temperature or below  
  • Avoid the exposure of direct sunlight
  • Use the correct charger or adapter for your battery
  • Avoid overcharging your battery – no need to charge overnight
  • Avoid under-charging your battery – give it enough time to fully charge
  • Never carry loose batteries around in your pocket
  • Give your battery time to cool down after using it prior to recharging it
  • Do not keep the battery in your mouth for extended periods as it can heat and create a burn

Avoid unregulated MODS

If you’re a first-time vaper, unregulated modifications to your device are not recommended. They’re generally more powerful and require a basic understanding of how circuits connect to their battery sources.

Regulated devices, such as the brand Logic, detect any issues the device is having and shut it down as part of a built-in safety feature. While unregulated devices are not constructed with these features, which makes them more dangerous for inexperienced vapers. For those who simply want a grab-and-go, smooth vaping experience, Logic also offers a care-free disposable option.

Purchase a spill-proof option

Adding e-liquid to your own device has a list of advantages, including the ability to mix a combination of flavors, such as tobacco and menthol. While this vaping method is a sophisticated choice for the more advanced vaper, in order to avoid any spillage, beginner vapers should try use a pre-filled cartomizer. They are much easier to operate — simply remove the plastic caps from each end and twist the cartridge onto the battery.

E-Cigarettes are not tobacco products

hand holding a smokeless technology

smokeless technology

Contrary to popular belief, e-cigarettes are actually tobacco free products. There is no combustion or smoke that is created during the process of vaping. In this case, instead of burning tobacco and smoking the contents like a traditional cigarette, e-cigs actually only heat up the e-liquid in the cartomizer to a high enough temperature to allow the user to inhale the vapor. In other words, this smokeless technology, often referred to by various media outlets as a ‘gateway’ to combustible cigarettes, is actually quite the opposite. An e-cig is merely a battery-operated device that smokers can use to help them replace the harmful habit of combustible cigarettes and simultaneously cut their nicotine dependency at their own pace.

What is tobacco?

Tobacco is a plant, part of the nightshade family, whose leaves are cured by striping them off, drying them out and fermenting them to be put into products such as combustible cigarettes and cigars. It also contains nicotine, the prime addictive stimulant that is found in traditional cigarettes. With over 70 different species known, tobacco use is actually one of the most preventable causes of death to humans.

What does tobacco do to the body?  

The use of tobacco has the ability to affect the heart, liver and lungs making it a contributing factor to many variations of cancers. Although nicotine, which can be found both in combustible cigarettes and in various concentration levels in e-cigs, is known for its addictive qualities, it does not compare to the severe health effects that come from the inhalation or ingestion of tobacco.

Tobacco smoking drastically increases the risk of heart disease, strokes and heart attacks. It has also been linked to leukemia, cataracts, pneumonia and emphysema — a condition in which the air sacs of your lungs are so damaged that it’s hard to breath. Individuals who chew tobacco instead of smoking it are not safe from the effects of this harmful substance. Chewing tobacco actually is one of the notorious culprits that lead to many forms of mouth cancers.

How does tobacco affect those who are around you?

The use of tobacco products not only negatively impacts your health, but it also has the ability to affect your loved ones.

People who are exposed to secondhand smoke can also get the short end of the stick when it comes to health problems — coughing, reduced lung function, pneumonia, asthma and bronchitis just to name a few.

Pregnant women who smoke also run an increased risk of miscarriage, stillborn or premature infants or infants born with abnormally low birth weights.

Why use e-cigarettes as an alternative to smoking?

Using a smokeless technology reduces many of the health risks that come along with smoking tobacco products while also giving you the freedom to choose your nicotine levels. Using a brand such as Logic allows vapers to select a nicotine concentration level that suits their needs. Over time the nicotine strengths can be reduced to a zero-nicotine e-cig.

E-cigarettes are smoke-free, tobacco free and smell free. It’s time to free yourself from the clutches of tobacco and experience another form of nicotine delivery!

Essential tips for beginner vapers

beginner vaping tips

There is a lot of important information floating around out there for a first-time vaper. Although it may seem a little daunting at the start, it’s imperative to learn as much as you can about electronic cigarettes and how they work in order to receive the finest vaping experience. With the limitless options available, in passable retail shops and more appropriately online, when it comes to state-of-the-art devices, decadent flavors and nicotine concentration ratios, you’ll want a better understanding before you invest in your selection of superiority. To narrow it down for you we’ve crafted some essential beginner vaping tips to get your exploration started.

What is an e-cigarette?

An electronic cigarette expends vaporized nicotine, or non-nicotine flavored vapor, through the use of a battery-operated device. The mechanism is designed to mimic the act of smoking a combustible cigarette, all while providing a similar sensation, without any combustion, smell or smoke.

Most devices are equipped with a rechargeable battery and flavored e-liquid cartridge. Although some are designed to be disposable.   

How does it work?

These little handheld devices heat up the e-liquid within the cartomizer to its boiling point, which in turn converts it into inhalable vapor.  

Popular brands, such as Logic, look and feel like real combustible cigarettes and possess an intuitive, easy-to-assemble technology with interlocking pieces (battery and cartomizer) that twist together. It’s designed to be functional and simple to use.

What is e-liquid?

Also, commonly referred to as e-juice, this liquid mixture is made up of water, food grade flavoring, propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG) and your choice of nicotine concentration.

Cartomizers come in rich, high-quality flavors such as Cherry, Berry Mint and Watermelon. As an incredibly inclusive product, for those who miss the robust taste of their combustible cigarettes, Tobacco and Menthol are the most popular flavors that are available in e-liquid form. There is even an e-cigar replacement for regular cigar smokers, or those who like to enjoy one as part of a celebration – it’s smokeless and leaves no odor so other party-goers won’t complain.  

How do you know which nicotine strength to use?

The nicotine strength that you should use is entirely dependent on your prior combustible smoking habits. If you were a light, casual smoker, 20 mg/ml (1.8%) e-liquids should work well for you, however, if you were a heavier smoker, you’ll want to purchase a 27 mg/ml (2.4%) e-liquid or higher in order to achieve a similar sensation when you vape.

Yet, the best part about selecting a nicotine-containing vape juice is the control it gives you. Once you become less dependent on nicotine, over a varied period of time, you have the choice to select an e-juice that contains a lower nicotine strength. That’s pretty remarkable.

We hope that our collection of beginner vaping tips answered a few of your questions. If you have any more, drop a comment below.

How can I use an e-cigarette to help me quit smoking?

beautiful girl showing her vape e-cig

nicotine replacement therapy

For most smokers, smoking combustible cigarettes has become a huge part of their habitual routine happily inhaling tobacco as a way to start and end off their day. As an omnipresent activity in their day-to-day lives, lighting a flame to the end of a cigarette is just another conventional element they have accustomed their lifestyle to. Needless to say, over time this once ordinary action can take a bit of a toll on their body.

That is why plenty of smokers are seeking a form of nicotine replacement therapy. With e-cigarettes being the most popular choice, aside from gum or the patch, ex-smokers are able to imitate a similar sensation to their once joyful experience. But how does someone who wants to quit smoking use an e-cigarette to help them achieve their goal?

You need to really want to quit

If you find that you are sick of constantly feeling tired, put off from the lingering smell of smoke or you simply want to start repairing your body after years of neglectful damage, e-cigarettes are a step in the right direction.

Once you decide that you want to say goodbye to combustible cigarettes, you will need to set some achievable goals for yourself. Set a time frame that you want to quit smoking by. Begin doing some research on the endless health benefits that quitting smoking will offer you and then seek support from your friends and family. Telling your goals to your loved ones will help you feel motivated and give you that extra push if you’re finding that your cravings come creeping back.

Have complete control over your nicotine intake

Shop around online and grab yourself an e-cig starter kit that will give you everything that you need to kick your craving.

Superior brands, such as Logic, offer kits for tobacco, menthol or cherry lovers. They all come wrapped in an easy-to-use power series bundle that includes exceptional, rechargeable batteries, a first-rate USB charger and a flavored cartomizer of your choice. The admirable designed cartomizers are offered in an array of flavors to keep your interest and are provided in various nicotine strengths in order to appeal to people at every stage of their nicotine replacement process. The concentration level of your capsule is dependent on your prior smoking habits and is incredibly beneficial to you as an ex-smoker, giving you the power to decrease the strength as you see fit. Switching to e-cigs will finally allow you to take control of your life again!

How about if I miss the feeling of holding a cigarette?

Nicotine withdrawal symptoms are common and it is not something that should discourage you. Logic e-cigarettes also have this addiction taken care of. Their sleek, technological design mimics the look of a traditional cigarette, but that’s not the only thing they mimic. E-cigs perform similarly to a combustible cigarette, allowing the vaper to hold the device the same way and perform relatable actions as they take each puff. The vapor also mimics smoke and provides the vaper with a comparable, much safer sensation when the inhale.

The reality is that vaping resembles smoking in many ways, which is why it works well as a nicotine replacement therapy. Vaping allows people to take control of their body and their addiction to nicotine. After all, everyone is different and they may require varied time frames and methods to allow them to rid themselves of smoking for good. The trick to quitting smoking with e-cigarettes is to do things at your own pace.

A vapers guide to achieving a throat hit

man in hoodie blowing vapor from smoking vape

achieving a throat hit

Achieving a throat hit is often a sensation that vapers crave when they first make their transition from smoking combustible cigarettes to vaping. The best part about this component of the vaping experience is that it is totally preferential and differs between two main sensibilities — weak or strong. Ranging from a smoother satisfaction to a harsher sensation, it is very much a personal preference that varies between vapers. Yet, how easy is it to tailor your experience to acquire the throat tingle that you desire?

man in polo vaping

What is a throat hit?

A throat hit is the sensation that a vaper receives at the back of their throat when they inhale vapor that contains nicotine — this feeling is very comparable to the sensation that a smoker undergoes when they take a puff of their cigarette. The reaction can range from a weak throat hit — a gentle, smooth puff — to a strong throat hit — a more rigid, sharp sensitivity. The pleasure that is achieved is usually dependent on the concentration level of nicotine within the e-liquid that is used. Zero nicotine e-juice often feels as if you are not smoking anything at all. The perfect choice for vapers that have quit smoking combustible cigarettes and over time have weaned themselves off of their addiction to nicotine.

How do you achieve a weak throat hit?

This smooth, calming sensation is best achieved when you use an e-juice with a lower nicotine strength. Logic Pro vaporizers are the perfect device to carry out this much needed pleasantry, offering flavor capsules with lower nicotine strengths. Another way to achieve a weaker throat hit is by choosing a sweeter flavor such as cherry or berry mint.

young man vaping

How do you achieve a strong throat hit?

Exactly the opposite. If you hope to achieve a stronger, harsher throat hit, then you need to use an e-juice that contains a higher concentration of nicotine. The Logic Power series offers flavored capsules with higher nicotine strengths. This is perfect for vapers that enjoy the strident feeling at the back of their throats. Another way you can achieve a strong throat hit is to use a menthol vape juice. These blends are known to provide a more intense vaping sensation.

Although many vapers tend to overlook the importance of achieving a throat hit, it can actually make a huge difference in a successful transition from combustible cigarettes. Aside from accentuating your vaping experience, throat hits also have the power to give you a similar sensation to the feeling that got you hooked on smoking for years. Needless to say, everyone tends to have their own preferences when it comes to e-smoking. What makes the perfect throat hit is truly a matter of personal taste.
