Question 1

Can Vape Coils Be Recycled?

Accepted Answer

Vape maintenance requires regular cleanings and constant replacements of parts, such as coils. You may be concerned about the environmental impact of all that metal waste that is created when you replace coils. Luckily, coils are recyclable. You don’t need to worry about all your former coils ending up in a landfill or the ocean.

There are rules for recycling coils, though. Once you remove the coils from the vape, be sure to take the wick out. Wicks aren’t usually made from recyclable materials. Dispose of the wick, then be sure to rinse your coils of any residue. After that, you can put the old wick in your recycling bin. Check with your city’s recycling guidelines for specifics about recycling in your area or if you want to get a recycling bin for your home.

Question 2

Do Vape Tanks Fit All Mods?

Accepted Answer

Most mods these days are made with 510 connections for the atomizers to attach to the vape mod. If your mod and tank both have 510 connections, they will fit together. But before you switch out your old tank for a fancy new one, you should look into the mod requirements for each of your tanks. Some tanks require more power to function. Others will have problems if they are used with a wattage that is too high.

Question 3

Can Vape Tanks Go Bad?

Accepted Answer

As long as you take care of your vape tank by cleaning it and being careful not to drop or otherwise damage it, you should be able to use it for years to come. However, vape tanks left uncleaned can get caked with old vape juice. If this happens, the flavors of your previous vapes will contaminate your new juices. And even worse, you could run the risk of mold developing inside the tank. Regular cleanings can help you avoid this and keep your vapes fresh for a long time.

Question 4

Can Vape Juice Burn Your Tongue?

Accepted Answer

If your vape is working properly, the vape juice should not burn your tongue. However, if you have gotten stung by your vape a few times, you may want to do some troubleshooting to see what the issue is. Most likely, there is a problem with your coils not getting hot enough. If they aren’t at the right temperature, they will only boil your vape juice instead of vaporizing it. The boiled juice can’t travel up the chimney like vapor, so it pools at the bottom of the chamber with the coils. Too much of this liquid buildup can ruin your coils and cause hot drops of vape juice to fly out in all directions. If you are having trouble adjusting the temperature of your vape, a Kure associate would be happy to assist you.

Question 5

Will Vaping Break My Fast?

Accepted Answer

For vapers who may be fasting for religious reasons, it is important to understand the guidelines set in place for fasting. For Ramadan, Muslims are to avoid anything that is not halal, including any addictive substances. Since many vape juices contain nicotine, an addictive chemical, it should be avoided during your fast. If you still want to use your vape during this time, consider getting a vape juice that has zero nicotine.

Question 6

What Is the Difference Between Vaping and Smoking?

Accepted Answer

Vaping and smoking cigarettes are fundamentally different in many ways. Some people put them in the same category because they both usually involve ingesting nicotine. However, even when vape juice does contain nicotine, vaping is a cleaner option than smoking.

When you smoke a cigarette, combustion happens. That’s when you light the cigarette and burn the tobacco plant. In that process, ash and tar are created. These solid particles are in the smoke you inhale. It can get trapped in your lungs, resulting in major health issues.

Vapor, on the other hand, involves vaporization rather than combustion. The nicotine is extracted from the plant material and mixed into a purified liquid. That liquid is turned into vapor, which contains no ash, tar, or any solids of any kind that could get into your lungs along with the vapor.

Question 7

What Is PG?

Accepted Answer

PG is an abbreviation for propylene glycol, which is a byproduct of petroleum. It is one of the two liquids used to create vape juice, along with vegetable glycerin. PG is the thinner liquid of the two. It is clear, odorless, and great at absorbing the flavors of other things. The flavor absorbance makes it great for picking up the flavors that are added to the e-liquid mixture. PG is safe and approved by the FDA for inhalation and oral ingestion.

Some people have reported irritation to the throat because of the PG in vape juice, but this is a rare allergy. If you notice throat irritation, try a vape juice with more VG. Vape juice can come in a variety of VG to PG ratios from 50/50 to 70/30, so it may require some trial and error to find the percentage that is right for you.

Question 8

What Is VG?

Accepted Answer

Vegetable glycerin, commonly referred to as VG, is an ingredient in vape juice. It is made entirely from vegetable oils, so it is safe to ingest orally, even for vegetarians. Unlike the tasteless, thin quality of PG, vegetable glycerin is much thicker and has a little bit of a sweet taste. This liquid is great for sub-ohm vaping, the method used for making huge clouds of vapor. The thickness allows the coils to create more vapor than it would with a thinner liquid. Some people also claim that vape juices with a higher percentage of VG are smoother on their throats.

You can’t use a high VG e-liquid in any vape, though. Some atomizers aren’t designed to handle such a thick liquid, so they can easily get clogged or start tasting burnt. If you use the wrong liquid in your tank, you won’t get the best results and will probably spend more time and money on maintenance in the long run. If you need help choosing the right type of e-liquid, stop by your local Kure store to talk to an associate.

Question 9

What Is Steeping?

Accepted Answer

Steeping is a process used by vape juice manufacturers as well as vapers themselves to strengthen the flavor and strength of e-liquid. It’s a little like wine being kept sealed for years and years to bring out a more nuanced flavor. The same thing happens when you steep vape juice, but it doesn’t take quite so long. Vape juice shouldn’t be steeped for more than a couple of months. Otherwise, the aging process will go too far, and the flavor and strength of your juice will start to degrade rather than become enhanced.

The traditional method of steeping e-juice is to place your closed e-juice container in a dark, cool, and dry place for at least a few weeks. Every few days or so, take the vape juice out and shake it vigorously for several minutes. You’ll notice the color darkening. That means it’s working. The nicotine and flavors are becoming more prominent in the liquid.

If you want to speed the process along, there are a few things you can do. You can place your bottles of vape juice in a warm water bath or a slow cooker on the lowest setting. Ultrasonic cleaners and magnetic stirrers can be used to quickly steep your vapes, too. Additionally, you can add previously steeped juice into juice that hadn’t been steeped yet. The steeped liquid encourages the rest of the juice to begin the steeping process more quickly. Then, you can continue with the traditional steeping technique and see faster results.

Question 10

Can Vape Juice Be Mixed?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, you might crave a flavor combination for your vape juice that you just can’t find in your local vape shop. You may be thinking chocolate-flavored juice would go nicely with a peppermint vape juice. As long as the vape juices are fundamentally the same, you can mix them.

You should never mix two vape juices that contain different chemical forms of nicotine. Freebase nicotine vape juice should not be mixed with vape juice containing salt nic. The different chemical compounds aren’t compatible. The amount of nicotine you get in a single hit could be hard to calculate and potentially toxic. However, if your chocolate and peppermint vape juices both contain freebase nicotine and have a similar ratio of PG to VG, you can safely mix them and get the flavor you’ve been wanting.
