If you keep up with current affairs you've probably heard a lot in the new recently about vaping. Some scientific bodies have claimed that it's 95% less harmful than tobacco and an excellent alternative to cigarettes. Others denounce vaping, with New York state going as far as banning it in public spaces. The truth is, vaping is a relatively new trend that we don't know too much about at the moment. Two things we do for sure are that, one - it's nowhere near as harmful as drinking or smoking and is FDA approved, and two - it's becoming extremely popular. One reason for that is modding. 

Whether you're an experienced vaper or a complete newbie, we've all been there at some point. You go to take a nice long draw from your favourite e-juice only for your vape tank to spitback at you. It isn't pleasant and it can happen often, particularly if you're a keen modder trying out different components to get the right 'balance' and find the perfect vaping experience. It happens when there's simply too much e-juice in the centre of your coil which can't be properly vaporised. Veterans know how to avoid this, but for those of you just starting out or looking for ways to curb sptitback, here are some things to bear in mind. 

Vaping is soaring in popularity across the UK and US markets in particular, in spite of some recent bans and investigations that have come into play. Most of the research out there is still largely in favour of vaping as a vehicle for quitting traditional cigarettes, but there are those who vape for fun. It's relaxing, an excellent way to socialise and it's goes a lot deeper than you might think. Whether you just want to dip your toe in the water and try a basic vape kit or you want to become a full on vaping hobbyist and learn all about modding, you have to start somewhere, right? Here are some essential tips that everyone should follow. Remember, even the most suave vapers out there had to start somewhere... 

Vaping is perhaps more popular in the UK than anywhere else at the moment, with over 3 million active vapers. When you consider the research published by Public Health England which claims vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking, it's little surprise that vaping is skyrocketing in Britain. NHS Scotland even went as far as to officially recommend e-cigarettes to those trying to quit smoking tobacco laced cigarettes. So why this sudden move to launch a new inquiry into the safety of vaping? Is it necessary and will it make a difference? 

Thanks to the hard work of many public health activitists, most Americans are now aware that smoking cigarettes is bad for them. Despite that, over half a million Americans still die each year from smoking related illnesses, so there's clearly more work to be done. Smoking has decreased in popularity sharply throughout the past decade, in no small part to the introduction of newer, tobacco-free devices we call vape kits or e-cigarettes. So why have New York state now banned them from being them being used in indoor public spaces? Will it actually improve public health?

Whether you're brand new to the world of vaping or a seasoned pro looking for the next big mod, we've all experienced that most awful of things - a burnt vape coil. It's one of those things that can creep up on even the most experienced vapers. One minute you're puffing perfect clouds and enjoying the deep, rich flavours of your favourite e-juice, and then the unthinkable happens - you get a dry hit and taste burning. It's enough to put anyone off their vape session but, thankfully, it's quite easily avoidable and not at all difficult to fix. Here's how... 

According to those in the know, the UK quite far ahead of the US when it comes research and support of vaping as a viable alternative to smoking. Public Health England were one of the first reputable medical bodies in the world to come out and say that vaping was 95% less harmful than smoking cigarettes, and more smokers should make the switch. For the past several years, the UK has made October the month for kicking bad habits, and 'Stoptober' is a campaign to get smokers to give up. It has huge support across the country, from billboard advertising to television campaigns, and lots of people get on board.

Lots of vapers still get a bit of a hard time about their hobby. Thought it's grown in popularity enourmously, there are still stigmas attached to it with many asking the question, 'is vaping safe?'. We know that smoking cigarettes is most certainly bad for our health, largely due to the tobacco, but vaping is tobacco free - so why the concern?
