Our Parker vape shop is here and always ready to give you some tips! Many of our customers have complained about a sore throat after vaping.
There are a few different reasons that using a vaporizer might make your throat sore. In this article, we’re going to talk you through each of them, so you can understand how to avoid this issue in the future.
Picture it. It’s late at night and something goes wrong with your vape mod. So you Google “vape shop near me” to find a place to buy what you need to continue using it – but all of your local vape shops have already closed!
Vaporizer mod malfunctions are common. The last thing you want is to be in the middle of vaping and for something to go awry with no one to save you. Whether you’re on a trip or all the stores are closed, it’s important to have your essentials on hand in case of an emergency.
Ever since they first hit the market, vaporizers have been controversial. As a result, vaporizer users have been fighting a pitched battle for acceptance since the start. Their persistence has slowly led to the development of an array of unwritten rules surrounding the practice – or “vaping etiquette” if you will.
Most of the vape-related social norms have developed over time. Some are just common sense, others are a matter of basic decency while still others are mandated by law. In this article, we’re going to look at six unwritten vaping rules.
This is for your own good as much as anything else. There are lots of confused people out there who still see vaping as the second coming of secondhand smoke. Of course, they’re wrong, and for that reason, it may be tempting to simply dismiss them, but many of them have a habit of being quite obnoxious and can quickly ruin your day in the park or at the beach. We’re not saying you should cede the moral high ground to the lunatic fringe. But if you are in a public space it’s in your interest to use caution and common sense.
Vaping can be an enjoyable, even fun practice, and there are plenty of vapers out there who get off on generating insane clouds. But believe it or not, not everyone is down with huge clouds of what they consider foul-smelling vapor drifting into their personal space. And it’s not just non-vapers who object. Other vapers also find it really rude when someone blows a huge cloud of vapor their way. So don’t be obnoxious. Rein in those clouds when there are other people around.
No field of human endeavor is free from the curse of one-upmanship. That includes vaping. It’s extremely uncool to try and assert vaping superiority by trotting out a $2,500 vape mod and snickering at those puffing on disposable vaporizers. Why would you do that? Do you also wear an Armani suit when you go to your local bar? Basic vaping etiquette calls for people to respect one another, not to use vaping as an excuse for stroking their own ego.
Stealth vaping is by definition something you do discreetly so as not to draw attention to yourself. So the idea that there are rules surrounding stealth vaping in Parker seems a little counterintuitive. After all, if you stealth vape successfully no one is the wiser, so where’s the harm? The harm is that you might get caught vaping where it’s not allowed and this could set back the cause of vaping and tarnish the public’s perception of vape users.
Few people these days would be okay if someone lit a cigarette at the dinner table. And while vape clouds can’t be compared from a health standpoint to clouds of toxic cigarette smoke it’s also likely that an equally small number of people would be okay if you started vaping at the dinner table, regardless of where that table was located. The only reasonable chance you have of vaping around food is if you ask the host for permission first.
People share joints and bongs, but for some reason, all of that is different than sharing a vaping device. We’ve found that many vaporizer users don’t want anyone else taking puffs off their e-cigs or mods. If you don’t believe us, try reaching for someone else’s vaping device and see how they react (we’re guessing it won’t be pretty). This could relate to our society’s increased awareness of malicious microbes since the onset of COVID-19 – sharing vapes means spreading germs, which no doubt contributes to many users’ reluctance.
A lot of these etiquette “rules” come down to common courtesy and not engaging in furious arguments with the anti-smoking lunatic fringe. Because vaping as we know it is a relatively new practice, it hasn’t yet found a secure niche in society. That’s something that is going to have to be worked out over time. For now, take the above suggestions to heart and enjoy your favorite ejuice in peace and quiet. And if you’re looking for the best vaporizers in Parker, just stop by the Smoking Buddha!
While it’s been around in various forms for a long time, vaping as it is practiced today is a recent phenomenon. As a result, most people have little idea about the dos and don’ts of vaping. That’s where we come in. In this article, the team at the #1 smoke shop in Parker cover 5 do’s and 5 don’ts of vaping to help the newbie get off on the right foot.
If you want to ensure that your vaping experience is always first class you need to get in the habit, right from the start, of cleaning your device on a regular basis. Residue accumulates inside the tank of your device and if you don’t clean it out regularly it will negatively affect the quality of your vaping experience. As a general rule, it’s recommended you clean the tank every time you change the e-liquid.
There are literally thousands of different e-liquids out there today so there’s no reason to stick with the first one you ever tried. Experiment. Try different flavours. Chances are you’ll find several to your liking and you can switch back and forth among them. Changing flavors will also help fend off the dreaded “vaper’s tongue” when your tastebuds shut down for a period of time.
Chain vaping can be tempting but it can undermine your enjoyment and cause damage to your device. The right approach is to relax and take your time. The minimum time it takes for a wick to resaturate is 15 – 30 seconds. But even then there’s no need to rush things. Practice taking your time. Savor each hit. Enjoy the moment. Relax.
Vaping has helped lots of people in Parker quit smoking but some are never able to get over the final hurdle and free themselves from the coffin nails. It’s not the fault of their vaping device. Rather, it’s usually a matter of not weaning themselves off of nicotine properly. They start with high-level nicotine e-juice and never transition to lower and lower levels. After a while, they get discouraged because they don’t feel like they’re making any progress and they go back to smoking.
Most e-liquids have a fairly long shelf life, but they’re not indestructible. If you leave them exposed to direct sunlight or in a blazing hot area they’re going to go bad pretty quick. If you want them to last and retain their flavor make sure you store them in a cool place away from exposure to direct sunlight.
Into every life a little rain must fall. With that in mind let’s run through some generally accepted vaping “don’ts”.
If you’re in your own place then feel free to vape as you please. But if you’re at a friend’s house or at a party at a stranger’s place don’t vape without asking first if it’s cool to do so. The same goes for eating or drinking establishments. Not everyone’s as chill as the folks at the vape shop.
If you are vaping to quit smoking don’t substitute chain vaping for chain-smoking. Not only will the practice put stress on your coils and shorten the life of your vaping device, you’re also likely to get dry hits that can irritate your throat and leave a skanky taste in your mouth. At some point in the process of quitting smoking, you’re going to have to accept that you don’t smoke anymore. Taking your time between vapes is a good way to start ratcheting back the addictive behavior.
People who vape a lot often end up with dry mouth and vaper’s tongue. Vaper’s tongue is where a person loses the ability to taste their vape juice. The condition almost always comes on without warning and lasts anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Vaper’s tongue is a result of the propylene glycol in e-liquids that is known to absorb water molecules. You can increase your odds of avoiding it by staying properly hydrated.
Most of us know that vaping is nowhere near the kind of threat cigarette smoke is, but it can be hard to convince others of that. If you’re in a place where smoking is not allowed don’t just assume vaping is. Also, while the friendly confines of a smoke shop may allow vaping other establishments, even those with smoking rooms, may not. So don’t treat every establishment like a vape shop. Ask before you vape.
If you plug your device in to recharge it and then turn in for the night, you could wind up ruining your battery and shortening the life of the device. If you must plug in before you go to sleep, spend a few bucks and get yourself an overcharge protector, or buy a vape kit that comes with an overcharge protector. If you really want to make life easy for yourself, pick up a fast-charging vaping device. There are quite a few out there and they’ll charge from dead to full in just a couple of hours.

The decision to try vaping is not a noble or overwhelming one. It’s a simple one people make because they want to quit smoking, or because they’re just looking for a way to enhance the quality of their social life. Vaping has gained traction in the public consciousness largely because vaporizers provide an alternative to cigarettes that eliminate the poisons found in cigarette smoke.
If there are downsides to vaping, one of the most obvious is that trying to determine which is the right vaping device to start with can be a bit confusing, given how many different devices are on the market these days. In the interest of clarifying things for our friends in Parker, we have put together the following list of tips that should help you make an informed decision about your first vaping device.
Over the past decade, vaping has gained widespread popularity, although it is still struggling with the whole acceptance thing. Exactly why that is can be debated, but it might have to do with the fact that certain vaping devices can make it look like the person is smoking a cigarette, at least from a distance. And we all know how popular smoking in public is these days.
That said, the increasing popularity of vaping raises the question of whether vapers actually know what they’re getting into when they purchase their first pod mod from the vape shop. So here are ten things about vaping you may not know and that may surprise you.
