Vaping 101 Guides

Our Vaping 101 guides cover what to know before you order. First, check what ships to your state. Then learn how nicotine types, PG and VG, and sub-ohm coils differ, and why excise tax can show up at checkout.

Vaping 101: where to start

  1. Check your state. Some states limit what we can ship. Our shipping guide by state and ZIP code check show what ships to you.
  2. Pick a nicotine type. Salt nicotine suits small pod kits. Freebase works in more devices, from pod kits to sub-ohm tanks. Our freebase vs salt guide covers strength, coils and wattage.
  3. Match the juice to your device. A 50/50 juice suits most pod kits, while 70/30 suits sub-ohm tanks. See PG and VG explained and sub-ohm vaping explained.
  4. Know what’s on your order. Some states charge an excise tax on vape products. Our excise tax explainer shows how it works and why it’s on your order.
  5. Know the risks. Read the negative effects of vaping, with facts from the CDC and FDA.

You must be 21 or older to buy vape products, under the federal Tobacco 21 law.
