The FDA Takes a Second Look at Vaping and Covid-19

Despite its earlier claims that young people vaping could be spreading Covid-19, the FDA has clarified its stance on e-cigarette use and the risk of contracting Covid-19. The latest statement that the FDA released said, “E-cigarette use can expose the lungs to toxic chemicals, but whether those exposures increase the risk of Covid-19 is not known,” in an emailed response to a question from a news publication.

Over the last month, we have seen a lot of news statements being released about vapers being at increased risk of contracting Covid-19 and also being in increased danger if they do contract the virus.

Unfortunately for vapers, this isn’t the first time that incorrect information and assumptions have led to attacks on e-cigarettes. Only last year vaping e-cigarettes was incorrectly linked to another lung condition which was eventually traced to black market cannabis products.

These attacks on vaping and the latest claims about vaping and Covid-19 have been used by a large amount of anti-vaping groups to try and crackdown and eliminate vaping. This biased reporting and misleading amount of health statements have led some health authorities to get together and clarify the risks associated with vaping and Covid-19.

The Science Media Research Center released statements from public health experts to help reporters understand what we do know about smoking, vaping, and COVID-19. “There is no evidence that vaping increases the risk of infection or progression to severe conditions of COVID-19,” said Dr. Caitlin Notley. She also added that since switching from smoking to vaping improves cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, smokers who switch “might be expected to have a better prognosis if infected by COVID-19.

If you ever wanted a reason to make the switch from smoking traditional cigarettes to vaping, then it doesn’t get much better than that!

This has led to a huge selection of JUUL compatible pods becoming available, but it’s not always easy finding the best compatible pods.

How To Find the Best Pod Alternatives!

Normal JUUL Pods are not cheap, that’s why there are so many companies that are now offering their pods that fit in the JUUL pod system. Finding these alternative pods isn’t hard, but finding the best flavor, strength, and quality pods is quite challenging because of how many there are.

Mechanical Mods: A Complete Guide

Mechanical mods are customizable vaporizers that are extremely powerful and allow vapers to modify their vaporizer to suit their particular requirements. While they may sound like an attractive option, are mechanical mods the best vaporizer for you?

Mech mods are unregulated vaporizers without any internal circuits or chips and are powered directly off the battery. If you press the firing button on a mech mod, it completes the circuit and sends continuous current to the atomizer or coil from the battery, and it will continue to do until the circuit is broken.

There are no internal safety cutouts on a mech mod, which means that they won’t cutout after 10-seconds as most regulated mods will. The cutout is an integral part of ensuring that your vaporizer doesn’t overheat accidentally.

If you enjoy building your coils and atomizers and have a strong understanding of Ohm’s law, then mechanical mods may be perfect for you. If you’re new to vaping, then a regulated sub-ohm mod may be better suited to your needs.

To help you decide if a mech mod is what you’re looking for, let’s take a look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of mechanical mods!

Advantages of mechanical mods:

  • Reliability – Because they contain no circuits, screens, or chips, mech mods are incredibly reliable with no electronic components to malfunction.
  • Durable – Mechanical mods are much more durable than other mods because of their simple yet sturdy design.
  • Easy to fix – Most regulated mods are almost impossible to fix once they break, but mech mods, on the other hand, have a simple design that’s easy to diagnose and repair if needed.
  • Powerful – Mech mods are extremely powerful and only limited by the creativity and skill of the person making them.
  • Customizable – Mech mods provide an excellent platform for people to build coils that can produce vast amounts of vapor.

Disadvantages of mechanical mods:

  • Risky – If you don’t understand what you’re doing when you’re making your mechanical mod, it could result in the device overheating, catching on fire, or exploding.
  • No safety devices – There are no back-up safety devices with mechanical mods if something fails. There are no circuit breakers, cutouts, or chips, which will prevent the device from continuously firing.
  • Higher initial cost – It’s going to cost you more to get started building your mech mod, but ongoing costs are lower than regulated sub-ohm mods.
  • Excessive battery usage – Regulated mods are designed to save battery power and extend the time between charges, but mech mods are battery hogs and will drain batteries quickly, especially if you’re using low resistance coils.
  • Cleaning – Mech mods are going to require a little tender love and care, which includes regular cleaning because they’re more prone to getting e-liquid inside them than regulated sub-ohm mods.

Mechanical mods conclusion

If you’re experienced, understand Ohm’s law and enjoy chasing clouds and building your coils, then mechanical mods could be just what you’re looking for. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a consistent sub-ohm vaporizer that doesn’t require a lot of attention, then a regulated sub-ohm mod may be better suited to your needs.

Coil Building 101: How to Build a Fused Clapton Coil

A recent trend in the vaping industry that many of you may already be familiar with is the “Clapton” coil. They have been blowing up recently, and if you vape using sub-ohm tanks you most likely have seen Clapton coils being advertised. What is it? Why are they so popular? What are the pros & cons of Clapton Coils? In this guide we are going explain exactly what a Clapton coil is and help you decide if its right for you.

A Clapton coil is basically two wires that are coiled together. A lower 26 gauge wire is usually used as the core, while a larger 36 gauge wire is wrapped around the outside. This allows the current from your vaping device to flow through the core wire while slowly heating up the wire that is wrapped around it. The result is more surface area for your E-liquid to be vaporized without lowering the resistance to the coil.

Why are they so Popular?

Many coil manufactures are pre-building these coils in there factories making them more accessible to the public. Before they where being mass produced, they where relatively unknown and where only being made by hand. The outer wire must be wrapped tightly around the core wire which can be a complicated task to accomplish. Many people didn’t have the knowledge or patience to effectively do it themselves. Now their are many tutorials on YouTube and Instagram showing you how to build these coils step by step. People are also realizing how much better a Clapton coil truly is.

Pros & Cons

Like I said earlier, Clapton coils main advantage is the added surface area. This larger surface area allows the heated coil to come in contact with your e-juice faster and more efficiently. The result is an increase in flavor, increased vapour production, and overall a more enjoyable vaping experience.

Their are some negative aspects to consider before using a Clapton Coil. “For every force, there is a counter force. For every negative there is a positive. For every action there is a reaction. For every cause there is an effect.” – Grace Speare

Since their is more coil being heated up, you will use more e-juice then you would with a traditional coil. Each hit from your mod is going to be more flavorful and dense because you are burning more liquid. Clapton coils also take longer to fully heat up, and once they do they get hot. So if you are not a fan of warmer vape hits this coil might not be right for you.

How to Build your own:

The easiest way to build a Clapton coil is clamp your larger wire in the middle of a drill and while it spins wrap your smaller wire around it like the video above demonstrates. Their are many different techniques to creating a Clapton coil and it all comes down to preference. It can be complicated at first, but becomes fun an easy with a little practice. It is best to start out slow and gradually increase the speed when you feel comfortable.


Clapton wire: If you do decide to build your own coil, Clapton wire can usually be found at any DIY vape supplier. It is not very expensive, and your coil can be better customized when you make it yourself. If you are not much of a builder you can also buy pre-built
coils.

Pre-made Clapton Coils: Like we talked about earlier many companies are selling pre-built Clapton coils. They can be used in rebuildable atomizers and make the customization process of any mod simple and less time consuming. They are usually cheap and easy to install. Many companies also offer pre-built clapton coils for their sub-ohm tanks.

Vape smoke is much thicker making it the perfect consistency to create an awesome tornado effect.

How to do it: Delicately exhale vapour onto a flat surface preferably a table. Let the vapour settle onto the table until it is motionless. Then place your hand vertically in the middle of the smoke and flick your wrist up and lift your arm all in one fluid motion. Here is another example of what it looks like when done perfectly.

Dragon

The Lasso

What is it: The lasso is great to add to the end of a combo of tricks. Its like the icing on the cake. The idea is to blow a small ring through the center of a larger ring. The momentum of the larger ring should suck up the smaller ring creating a lasso effect.

How to do it: Blow one large smoke ring and then immediately after a smaller smoke ring. Control the smaller ring with your hand and force it into the center of the larger ring. If done properly the large ring should absorb the smaller ring creating an impressive lasso. This trick can be difficult to master and may require a lot of practice.

Dip the end of the bottle into the mixture, then slowly exhale vapour through the nozzle to create amazing vape bubbles.

Triangles

What is it: Are you an expert at blowing O’s and want something more challenging? How about blowing triangles, or squares, and even a hexagon. Ok we are joking about the hexagon.

How to do it: Blow a large dense smoke ring placing your hand behind it. Then swipe down twice on the side of the O so it starts to ripple. The result should be a spinning triangle. Add a lasso or a jellyfish to this trick for more style points.

Bane Inhale

How to do it: Take a drag from your vape mod and hold the vapour in your cheeks letting is settle for a few seconds. Then slowly open your mouth and push the vapour out trying to keep it in the form of a ball. Once you see vapour strongly inhale it back into your mouth.

The Waterfall

What is it: This trick is a fun science experiment you can do at home. The waterfall is like having your own personal vape cloud trapped in a bottle. You will feel like a real life wizard after you do this.

How to do it: This trick is pretty simple and doesn’t require any skill whatsoever. Get an empty water bottle and slowly blow your vapour into it. Once the bottle is full you can pour it out and you have your very own vape waterfall. We told you it was easy.
