It’s been a while since we welcomed 2016, so our focus has naturally shifted back to our daily routines and responsibilities. But how are you fairing with your new year’s resolution to quit smoking?
If you’re finding it difficult or if you’ve already fallen off the wagon, you’re in good company.
Those who followed the hashtag #resolutionfails on social media will already know that a lot of people didn’t even make it through the first few hours of January 1^st. No matter if it is a pledge to diet, exercise, or quit smoking: it’s hard for a lot of people to kick bad habits.
To quit smoking remains one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions, but it’s also one of the hardest to keep. However, there’s reason to hope as smoking rates have steadily been in decline (down to 17% of the American population).
When embarking on this challenge, you have to realize that cold turkey doesn’t work for everybody. Some people have had success by cutting down in moderation until they can stop completely. As vaping follows the same philosophy, it can basically help you cut down your nicotine intake gradually over a period of weeks.
You can vape with disposable e-cigarettes, vape mods, or even box mods (mech mods).  All these electronic devices are designed to transform you into a non-smoker.
 

What Is Vaping?

Vaping can be described as an act of inhaling vapor from a device that is powered by a battery. This is usually referred to as vape kits or box mods. The vapor is created by a battery powered coil that heats the “e-liquid” inside an atomizer.
The nicotine content is really up to you as you have options:

• 0%
• 3%
• 6%
• 8%
• 12%
• 16%
• 24%

 

Vaping is Healthier than Tobacco Smoke

Inhaling tobacco smoke exposes your body to all kinds of chemicals in addition to nicotine. So you can deduce that vaping is a healthier way to approach quitting.
Tobacco smoke contains the following chemical toxins and gases:

• Acetylene
• Ammonia
• Benzene
• Cyanide
• Formaldehyde
• Methanol
• Carbon monoxide
• Nitrogen oxide

Add that with tar and the possibility of developing diseases like cancer, it’s more than a good enough excuse to motivate yourself again and try to quit smoking for good.
Vape mods on the other hand vaporize E-Juices that contain the following:

• Nicotine
• Propylene glycol
• Vegetable Glycerine
• Flavoring

 

Why Vape Mods?

Vapor mods are ideal for quitting as they’re designed specifically for those who want more control. They’re rapidly growing in popularity and are far less complicated when compared to mechanical mods. Further, when it comes to overall control and power output, they’re also quickly catching up with larger box mods.
So if you don’t mind a little more weight and a larger device, you’re going to have a bit of fun while you cut down on your nicotine intake.
The most common mods available today are as follows:

• Vape Mods
• Herbal Vaporizers
• Mechanical Mods

If you compare the three, you’ll find that each has its own benefits. Mech mods require a little bit of technical knowledge and you will also need to build your own atomizer. They’re a little unsafe as they don’t have any controls, but the reward will the biggest vapor you can image.
Herbal vaporizers aren’t a good solution for those who want to quit smoking as you will be inhaling vapor from tobacco and herbs. Yes, you read that right. There won’t be any smoke, just vapor.
Vape mods are extremely popular these days because of product features like long battery life, safety with regulated circuitry, and a wide variety of options to choose from.
 

What are the Best Mod Options?

 
There are too many devices out there to cover in one blog, so here are some of our favorites.

The Laisimo L1 200W TC mod supports titanium and nickel. The stainless steel wire works with temperature control and comes with a 2.4 inch OLED colored display screen. This mod can be used with Laisimo L1 Android 4.4 APP via (Bluetooth 4.0). But the drawback here is that it can only work with Android devices.
To cut down the nicotine intake, you can control your daily limit by taking advantage of the “Plan” button.
 

Kanger TOPBOX Mini

Kanger has the leading candidate for the best mod of the year: the Kanger TOPBOX Mini. You can go low to 7W or go as high 75W and it also has temperature control. The device comes in four colors and the display screen helps you make adjustments by scrolling up or down (so it’s quite easy to operate).
The vaporizer works only with Titanium and Nickel in the TC mode, but for all others it works with Kanthal and NiCr as well. So if you want to experiment with high quality e-liquids or juices, the TC mode is the best mode to use.
