E-liquids, or vape juice, are the liquids that are vaporised in e-cigarettes and usually contain nicotine, flavourings, and a base of propylene glycol (PG) and/or vegetable glycerin (VG).

Open pod systems are vape devices that use refillable pods, allowing users to fill them with their choice of e-liquid.

A vape device heats e-liquid to produce vapour. This is typically achieved through a battery-powered heating element, known as a coil. When the user inhales, the e-liquid is drawn into the coil, vaporised, and then inhaled.

Public Health England recognises vaping as a viable option to help smokers quit, but it’s essential to consult with a health professional regarding cessation methods.

While nicotine is addictive and can be toxic in large doses, it’s not classified as a carcinogen by itself. However, traditional cigarettes contain many carcinogens.

UK laws regulate vaping in several ways, including age restrictions (over 18), limits on e-liquid nicotine strength, and restrictions on advertising.

The safety of vaping sucralose remains uncertain, with ongoing research and debate about potential health risks linked to inhaling it. As such, NU VAPE liquids do not contain sucralose.

The UK doesn’t have nationwide legislation banning vaping indoors. However, many businesses and public places have their own policies prohibiting it.

This depends on personal preferences, whether you’re trying to quit smoking, the type of e-liquid you plan to use, and your budget.

PG (Propylene Glycol) and VG (Vegetable Glycerin) are the primary base ingredients in e-liquids. PG is thinner and can carry flavours more effectively, while VG is thicker and produces more vapour.

Research suggests that second-hand vapour is less harmful than second-hand smoke. However, it’s always best to vape in well-ventilated areas and be considerate of others.

Some users report side effects like dry mouth, dizziness, cough, dry skin, and itchiness. If you’re concerned about side effects, consult a health professional.

MTL is when you first draw vapour into your mouth and then inhale it into your lungs, similar to smoking a cigarette. DTL is when you inhale directly into your lungs, which produces more vapour and a different sensation.

Vaping is usually prohibited on public transport in the UK. Air travel has strict rules; generally, batteries must be in your carry-on, not checked luggage.

E-liquids should be stored in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and out of the reach of children and pets.

This can be due to several reasons: overfilling, damaged seals, or changes in air pressure. Always check for damaged parts and ensure everything is correctly assembled.

Main types include vape pens (pen-shaped), mods (larger with more features), and pod systems (compact with replaceable pods).

Yes, for nicotine-containing e-liquids, the maximum bottle size is 10ml.

Yes, in the UK and EU, tanks or pods cannot exceed a 2ml capacity.

Some potential risks include nicotine addiction, lung injuries related to specific ingredients, and the unknown long-term effects since e-cigarettes are relatively new.

While vaping is considered less harmful than smoking, it’s not risk-free. Some studies indicate that vaping can have adverse effects on respiratory health, but the consensus is that it’s less damaging than smoking tobacco.

Vaping is a relatively new phenomenon, so long-term studies are limited.

It depends on the brand and product. However, both disposable and reusable vapes can contain a variety of chemicals in their e-liquids.

Reusable vapes tend to be more environmentally friendly and can offer better value over time. They also provide more customisation options.

Disposable vapes contain batteries and electronic components, so they should be disposed of as electronic waste (e-waste). If you are unsure, check with your local council for details of electronic waste.

Reusable vapes reduce the need for frequent disposables, thereby decreasing e-waste. By refilling and maintaining a single device, users contribute less waste to landfills.
