What is vaping?

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes or vapes) are innovative battery-operated devices that heat e-liquid to produce inhalable vapor. Vaping, the act of inhaling and exhaling this vapor, is a modern alternative to traditional smoking, offering a cleaner experience devoid of tobacco combustion. The vapor, technically known as liquid aerosol, is created when the e-liquid is heated, providing users with a range of nicotine strengths or even nicotine-free options.

How does vaping work?

A vaping device typically consists of a battery, a tank or pod containing e-liquid, and the e-liquid itself. The battery powers the heating coil inside the atomizer, which then vaporizes the saturated e-liquid that has soaked into the cotton.

At Cardinal Vapor, we exclusively offer regulated batteries and mods from trusted manufacturers, ensuring safety and reliability.

Does the battery in the device make the e-cig too hot to hold?

If you find your device is too hot to touch then we recommend disposing of it safely and immediately and contact the vendor you purchased it from.

Are health risks associated with vaping?

Clinical research indicates that vaping significantly decreases the health risks associated with smoking, including but not limited to cancer and heart disease. In fact, British Public Health reported in 2015 that vapes are 95% safer than cigarettes. The UK agency also said that about 68% of smokers who switched to a vape were successfully able to quit cigarettes. Check out our page Vape News for more info on vaping and personal health.

There is now substantial evidence, both from clinical trials and real-world studies, that e-cigarettes are as effective as other proven cessation medications and have helped millions of smokers, who have struggled to stop with other means, to quit cigarettes for good.
