A novice like you can’t just go around buying multiple gadgets so you can try all of them, especially if budget is a constraining factor.  

If you’re wondering how you can end up picking the right vape pen for your puffing adventure, here are some tips you should consider: 

• Know your needs 

The type of vaping pen you need will most likely depend on the kind of smoker you used or plan to be. Knowing your smoking habits could help you decide which gadget to go for. For example, if you’re a heavy smoker, it’s recommended to look for a vaping device that can offer good nicotine delivery and long battery life. Of course, you need to ensure the battery can sustain your usage on the go. (3)

• Decide on the substance you plan to consume 

The design and style of your first vaping pen could depend on the substance you plan to consume. Several options, including vape juice, oils, herbs, and wax, come into play. Most devices are designed for only one type of substance or material, although there are vaping pens that could be used on both concentrates and herbs. (3) (4)

Vaping pens that use coils and wicks or an atomizer and a tank work with e-liquids and vape oils. If you plan on consuming waxes, on the other hand, it’s best to look for a device that comes with a chamber instead of a tank. For herb users, chamber pens with combustion or convection heating should work. (4)

• Consider functionality and features 

Beginners like you should consider the simplicity of use when looking for your first vaping pen. Ideally, you want something straightforward and easy. A basic vape pen, for instance, will only require filling the device with e-liquid, closing it, and then pressing a button to start vaping. A starter kit will most likely suit the taste of those who don’t like using complex devices with too many controls and features. (3)

However, if you prefer to go for a vaping pen that has other functions, you may do so, too. After all, it depends on how willing you are to learn using the gadget. The kit will surely come with a manual, so take the time to read thoroughly for instructions. Doing so can help you feel more comfortable when using the pen, even if it comes with complex features such as temperature control. (3)

Conclusion 

Vape pens are easy to use and perfect for people on the go. Whether you’re thinking of quitting your smoking habits or you’re simply curious about this device, it’s a good idea to do your research first before buying one. Doing so can significantly help ensure an excellent puffing experience so that a newbie like you can appreciate it even more.
