Nowadays, people have so many accessible ways to subside their nicotine cravings. As a result, many ex-smokers rely on the cig-alike technology of disposable vapes as their preferred method. Convenient and easy-to-enjoy, disposable vape pens—especially those in the blu lineup—include a wide variety of flavors to choose from, making the swap from combustible cigarettes to e-cigs a simplistic experience. Continue reading to learn more about the benefits of going with disposable options.

What are disposable vapes?

Disposable vapes are single-use e-cigs. While smaller and more compact than traditional devices, these units are convenient for vaping on the go and can be recycled when they become empty. Consisting of an integrated atomizer, mouthpiece, battery, and pre-filled e-liquid, your pocket-friendly e-cig is perfect for everyday use. Ideal for ex-smokers, regardless of experience, these non-chargeable units have so many benefits.

• Environmentally friendly: Disposable vapes satisfy users’ needs without degrading nature like combustible cigarettes. Plus, these devices can be recycled. 
• Easy for beginners: Disposable vapes are readily available on vape-ecigs.com and since they are equipped to be used right out of the packaging, beginners usually take advantage of these devices. 
• Very economical: E-cigs with modifications can be costly, whereas, disposable vapes are accessible, affordable, and maintenance-free.
• Free from odor: One of the many reasons people who vape (and those who don’t) love disposable vapes is that they don’t smell like combustible cigarettes. The vapor dissipates quickly after it’s exhaled and it doesn’t stick or linger on clothing, hands, hair, and furniture. 
• Abundant nicotine concentrations levels: When you smoke, you can’t choose the nicotine concentration levels of your combustible cigarettes. However, disposable vapes are offered in a range of levels, allowing vapers to enjoy the strength that suits them while fighting off their cravings.

When you first purchase a high-quality vape, its performance is optimal, which is important considering your device is your tool for keeping smoke-free. However, like anything you use frequently, regular maintenance is required to keep things working properly. This blog will provide you with some tips on caring for your e-cig, and since all units are made up of different components, be sure to read your owner’s manual before cleaning it for the first time. 

What needs to be cleaned? 

Since each vape is generally made the same way—e-liquid tank, battery, mouthpiece—cleaning your vape is easy! These components need to first be separated to allow for the cleaning of the device. That said, most e-liquid tanks from brands working with the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) come pre-sealed, so there is no need to clean these parts. Simply put them in the recycling bin when they’re empty and pop on a new one.

The mouthpiece and rechargeable battery of your refillable unit are used time and time again, which means these parts should be the ones to be cleaned alongside the device charger. 

Disposable devices usually don’t last long enough to require regular cleaning. 

How to go about cleaning your vape 

Removing residue from your device is easy and quick when you make it a part of your daily routine. Not only does regular cleaning help your device to produce ample vapor with a powerful punch but it also enables you to get rid of the remnants or build-up of dust and residue from ongoing use. So, if you want flavors to come through properly, and desire longevity with your device, it’s an important thing to do. 

To start, disassemble your device by removing the mouthpiece from the battery. Then, you can separate your e-liquid tank and place all components onto a dry piece of paper towel. Then, grab another fresh piece of paper towel and use it to wipe down all of the connecting areas where dust can accumulate. You can also use warm water if there is any build up and you want a slightly deeper clean. Once everything is wiped, leave the pieces to fully air dry then reassemble and start vaping. It’s that quick and easy.

There are many reasons to look forward to spring—warmer temperatures, flowers poking through, and waking up to the birds tweeting. However, with rebirth in the air, it’s the perfect time to redirect your attention to the fresh start you so desperately want. Spring is the season of renewal and if you were unable to stick to your quit smoking resolution for New Year’s, it’s another great opportunity to prepare for your next (hopefully successful) quit attempt. If the start of this blog resonates with you, continue reading for some tips for getting started. Since simply quitting with no plan rarely leads to sustained tobacco-free living, it’s important to take some time beforehand to develop your plan, confront how you will navigate triggers, and decide which tools you will use to ensure a successful transition. 

Clear away any remnants of smoking combustible cigarettes

While physically throwing away your final pack of combustible cigarettes is a great way to motivate your quit smoking journey, clearing away other tobacco product accessories such as lighters and ashtrays also helps to make the process easier. Quitting smoking is both physical and mental, which means that it’s important that you remove reminders to and refrain from putting yourself in positions where you may feel these cravings—at least for the first few weeks. 

Deep clean your home and car

Back to our point about where we discuss that quitting is partially mental, if you hope to increase your odds of becoming tobacco-free, we recommend that you conduct a deep clean of your home and car to remove any lingering smell that may affect one’s ability to tackle cravings. Plus, the smell is often noted as a primary driving factor for users to quit, as they hate the lingering smell. 

Invest in flavored vapes

Although any type of e-cig offers users the choice to select a nicotine concentration level that works best for their quit smoking needs, those who really want to stay tobacco-free often steer towards flavored vapes as their life-changing tool. This is because it changes the dynamic by offering users a tool that appropriately treats tobacco dependence. When combined with nicotine replacement therapies like patches, gum, and/or lozenges, NRTs and flavored vapes increase the odds of an ex-smoker staying tobacco-free.

Spring is here! This means it’s time to pair up the warmer days with some delicious flavors that boast seasonal ingredients. While the amount of flavor vapes on the market is limited, that doesn’t mean you can’t relish the start of spring by celebrating what we do have available. Here are three flavors that you should stock up on this season.

The blu vanilla disposable 

Similar to the natural, blooming aromas more present during springtime, our blu vanilla disposable device offers users a sweet, creamy scent that exhibits the same floral nodes we go nuts for. Sold as a single, pre-charged unit, the blu vanilla disposable is compact, has 2.4% nicotine strength, and its delicate, fruity flavors are highly sought after, making it a best-selling product on our website. Enrich your vaping experience with a device that’s bursting with fresh flavor.

The blu classic tobacco disposable

While there’s no limit to the tobacco options available on the market, there’s something extra special about our blu classic tobacco disposable device. Offered at a moderate 2.4% nicotine strength, this beloved device is a popular choice among transitioning ex-smokers. Rich and bold like traditional tobacco but without the lingering burnt smell, the blu classic tobacco disposable device provides a reminder that spring is here with the earthy, woody aroma that it exhibits through each exhaled puff.

Any Vuse menthol device

Access to flavored vapes has become challenging in recent years, especially for those who seek menthol options. Thankfully Vuse Vapor has three exceptional lineups to cater to the transitioning ex-smoker including Vuse Alto, Vuse Solo, and Vuse Vibe. While all of the following lineups offer users a refreshing menthol option, it’s the varying nicotine concentration levels that set them apart. So, before you settle on a single option, peruse some reviews to see which nicotine strength is best for your current needs, and rest assured that the other options will be available when you’re ready to start decreasing.

While vaping in its entirety is already cheaper than smoking combustible cigarettes—taxation on tobacco products and additional state taxes—there are still other ways that you can save when you choose to buy vapes online. In this blog, we will highlight how to save you money on your e-cigs, because we could also use some money-saving tips with this record-high inflation. 

Buy vapes online in bulk

When purchasing your vapes in a shop, unless the shop is hosting a sale, it’s unlikely that you will save any money by grabbing multiple items at once. However, when you buy vapes online, not only do you save money through bulk purchases, but you will also save on shipping costs. It’s always a good idea to stock up on your favorites when money savings are involved. Plus, having a large supply of vapes ensures that you’re never left waiting on an order to arrive to fulfill your immediate nicotine needs. 

Utilizing nicotine strength

Whether you’re a seasoned vaper or a transitioning ex-smoker, you must select the appropriate nicotine strength if you want to save money. Matching your current nicotine needs is not only important to ensure success with vaping, but it also ensures money in your pocket. This is because people want to satisfy their cravings, and if your selected concentration amount is too low, you will need to vape more. The more disposable devices and/or e-liquid tanks you need to buy, the fewer savings you have. Therefore, we always recommend to our customers to start off gradually to find the best strength that will save them money vaping.

Maintain your device

When an e-cig is properly cared for, it will last longer. This means taking the time to clean any connecting ends from dust and debris. We also recommend wiping down your mouthpiece to ensure that you receive optimal airflow. The better your device is working, the less chance you have of needing to replace that device. Also, when you’re able to receive quality hits, fewer puffs are needed.

Use our monthly discount code

While all of the above are great ways to save money, the easiest method of savings for those who buy vapes online is to remember to check out our monthly banner for a code that can be inputted at the checkout. This code saves all shoppers 2% on their purchase!

While smoking combustible cigarettes has been linked to a wide variety of health problems affecting almost every organ in the body, many of those risks and complications start with the cardiovascular system—which includes the heart, blood, and blood vessels. Although some side effects of smoking are less severe—yellow teeth and bad breath—those that involve the cardiovascular system can be very serious and lead to greater issues or time, such as a stroke or heart failure. If you want to know more about how smoking is affecting your heart and why you should quit smoking with e-cigs, continue reading. 

How does tobacco affect heart health?

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an umbrella term that’s used to describe a wide variety of diseases that affect the heart or blood vessels. 

In terms of heart health, smoking combustible cigarettes can lead to: 

• High blood pressure: This condition is when the blood in your arteries flows with too much force. Tobacco from your combustible cigarette causes high blood pressure because the nicotine within heightens it. While e-cigs also contain nicotine, the user chooses their intake amount, with the option to lower it over time. 
• Atherosclerosis: This condition is when the arteries become narrow and stiff due to plaque buildup that’s made of substances like cholesterol, fat, and scar tissue. Since plaque can block blood flow, the heart pumps extra hard to ensure that the blood makes it to other parts of the body. Tobacco worsens this condition by increasing the inflammation of the arteries. 
• Arrhythmia: This condition is when a person has an abnormal heart rhythm. Since tobacco triggers cardiac fibrosis or scarring of the heart muscle, arrhythmia is a possible outcome. 
• Coronary heart disease (CHD): This condition happens when the arteries in the heart are unable to re-circulate blood back to the heart. Things like high blood pressure affect the body’s ability to push around blood, especially with narrow arteries.  
• Stroke: Since tobacco promotes the formation of plaque in the arteries, the blood vessels become easily blocked. If this occurs in the brain, a stroke may occur. 
• Heart attack: Similar to a stroke, since tobacco is blocking blood flow to the heart, the heart muscle will slowly begin to die without enough oxygen-rich blood. 
• Abdominal aortic aneurysm: The aorta is a major artery that delivers blood from the heart and pumps it throughout the body. Since many chemicals found in a tobacco cigarette increase plaque formation and inflammation, the aorta may develop a bulge referred to as an abdominal aortic aneurysm. This condition can grow over time and if it bursts, it’s life-threatening.

What can quitting smoking do for your heart?

Quitting smoking is one of the best actions you can take for your heart health, and the effects begin the minute you stop! Plus, you will reduce your heart rate, improve your blood flow, and lower the risk of all of the above ailments and diseases.

How do you quit smoking with e-cigs? 

Since quitting smoking can be challenging and require dedication and effort, be sure to select the best e-cig setup to ensure that your journey is a successful one. Aside from letting loved ones know your plan to wave goodbye to tobacco, be sure to select a device that possesses a multitude of reviews and transition to a flavor and nicotine strength and meets your physical needs. Good luck!

On January 24, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued marketing denial orders (MDOs) for Vuse menthol products. While this is a huge step backward for responsible adult vapers that simply want a nicotine e-cig that meets their needs, the company must now resubmit applications or submit new applications to address any deficiencies of the products outlined within the MDOs. If you want to learn more about why Vuse menthol products were not approved for sale and marketing in the U.S. continue reading for everything we know so far. 

How did the FDA make its decision? 

When reviewing premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs), the agency evaluates the product’s components, including ingredients, additives, constituents, design, harmful and potentially harmful constituents and health risks, as well as how the product is manufactured, packaged, and labeled. After reviewing the sufficient evidence within the manufacturer’s application, the FDA determines whether permitting the marketing of said products would be appropriate for the protection of public health. 

Why did the FDA not approve Vuse menthol products?

The agency believes that menthol-flavored e-cigs, alongside any other type of non-tobacco-flavored e-cigs, are appealing to youth. 

What does this mean for vapers who use Vuse menthol?

Many responsible adult vapers rely on Vuse menthol products to keep themselves smoke-free. They also utilize these e-cig products to lower their nicotine intake when they quit combustible cigarettes. Not only does this denial for sales and marketing in the U.S. hurt those who need these products the most, but it also limits access and drives users back to their past smoking routines. 

The R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company will be updating its application to provide further evidence that Vuse menthol products are needed are approved smoking cessation aids, and that the potential benefit to adult smokers outweigh the risks of youth initiation and use. However, in the meantime, we recommend stocking up on Vuse menthol products to ensure that you have what you need to continue your tobaccoless journey.

Surveying more than 3.4 million people, in the largest study of its kind, scientists have found nearly 4,000 genetic variants that they believe predispose people to alcohol and tobacco use behaviors. With more than 1,900 of the variants not previously linked, this study is monumental in learning more about why some people are more drawn to smoking combustible cigarettes and drinking and what it might take for them to quit for good. Here’s everything that we know. 

The study

The study entitled, “Genetic diversity fuels gene discovery for tobacco and alcohol use” was published on December 7, 2022, in the journal, Nature. Although things like environment and culture can affect a person’s use and likelihood of becoming addicted to various substances, researchers at the Penn State College of Medicine concluded that our genetics are also contributing factors. 

With over 3.4 million subjects—of European, African, American, and Asian ancestries—researchers used machine learning to develop a genetic risk score that could identify people at risk for certain tobacco and alcohol use behaviors. They believe that these results yield great power in helping to predict future health risks, and that targeted interventions can be implemented, reducing the health risks of these higher-risk individuals.  

What were the results? 

Tobacco and alcohol use are associated with approximately between 5% and 15% of deaths worldwide, respectively, and are linked with chronic conditions like cancer and heart disease. However, researchers at Penn State College of Medicine believe that if early intervention can happen, these numbers can be lowered. With 1,900 more variants discovered, there are now more samples available to study and find further genetic links. 

The smoking phenotypes were selected to represent different stages of tobacco use and addiction, including initiation, the onset of regular use, the amount smoked, and smoking cessation. In terms of alcohol use, it was measured based on drinks per week.

“It is promising to see that the same genes are associated with addictive behaviors across ancestries. Having more robust and diverse data will help us develop predictive risk factor tools that can be applied to all populations,” said study coauthor and statistical geneticist Dajiang Liu.

Conclusion

In terms of the tobacco component of this study, even though some people possess genetic factors that make their addiction to smoking combustible cigarettes stronger than others, it’s the nicotine that’s heightened these receptors. Smoking cessation through the use of e-cigs provides users with their required nicotine intake to satisfy their physical needs until a time when they can either lower their nicotine levels or stop vaping altogether.

In recent years, the U.S. has seen an increase in e-cig use, especially among those who are trying to quit combustible cigarettes. While most e-cig users are responsible adults who utilize these life-saving devices to lower their nicotine intake and quit tobacco for good, there are small numbers of adolescents who use them in response to social influences. Since reducing teen accessibility is a top priority, Milwaukee leaders have discussed a plan to prevent new vape shops from doing business in the city. Here’s what we know so far about this so-called vape ban. 

Everything we know 

Part of the Milwaukee Zoning, Neighborhoods & Development Committee meeting on January 31st discussed the explosion of vape shops, particularly those in small geographic areas. What does this mean exactly?

Milwaukee officials sponsored a proposal that will prevent new shops from selling e-cigs for six months. This trial period will act as a pilot program to test out what vape ban and e-cig regulations they may or may not be able to enforce long-term and what that would look like for shops that solely sell these items.

“Part of the goal of this is going to be, ultimately, to look at both concentration and location—for example, proximity to schools, things of that nature,” said Milwaukee Ald. Brostoff. 

“I have a larger concern about how it has been essentially unregulated, so we’re trying to dip our toe into this,” she said.

There is, however, some pushback, as businesses like grocery stores, gas stations, and convenience stores all sell or aim to sell e-cig products for easy accessibility.

The idea was approved by the committee, and they expect a detailed draft of the ordinance by their next meeting. If passed, it would still need final Common Council and mayoral approval.

Why do vape bans hurt users?

Reactionary bans on e-cigs are a mistake. This is because restricting access to vaping products, a less harmful nicotine delivery system, does not protect public health. In fact, it threatens to derail those who rely on it to remain free of combustible cigarettes—a product that’s known to kill up to 8 million people each year. 

Proposed vape bans like the one mentioned above are one of the many reasons why you should continue or start to buy your e-cigs online.
