Getting Started - FAQs

1.   How do I choose the right vape for me?

   Choosing the right vape product is determined by multiple factors. Unfortunately, sometimes, it can feel like trial and error at times until the right one fits. However here at Temple Of Vape our vast experience and knowledge makes selecting your vape a breeze.

   Firstly understanding what type of vape you prefer you are is key, namely:

   1. Mouth to lung
   2. Direct to lung

   Mouth to lung is how most people initiallylike to vape as it simulates the sensation of a cigarette. The reason is is called mouth to lung is because breathing in a cigarette is actually a two step process. Firstly, you draw the smoke into the mouth and then once full, draw the smoke into the lungs before breathing out.

   Direct to lung vaping is a single step process. In short it is a single action whereby the vapour is drawn straight into the lungs and bypasses the throat.

   You may be asking how do I know which type I am? As stated earlier initially most people prefer a mouth to lung vape. However this is not the end of the story. In our experience mouth to lung devices do not bypass the throat and have what we call in the industry a "throat hit". This can at times make you cough if the throat hit is too much. Some mouth to lung devices have what you call a "smooth" hit i.e not very much and others have a "strong" throat hit. Whether you like a smooth or strong throat hit is really down to personal preference.

   Let us say you wanted a vape which had a smooth throat hit. We would recommend something such as the Innokin T18E Starter kit and a couple of starter juices to get you on your way.

   If you wanted a bit more of a throat hit then something like the T20S Prism Starter Kit would be ideal for you.

   If you still found the sensation of mouth to lung unusual, then a direct lung vape kit would be what we would recommend. The fantastic Freemax Gem Kit which has disposable tanks would be a great start if you were foraging into direct lung vapes.

   Of course you could always pop in store and we could give you both a direct lung and a mouth to lung kit to try and see which one your prefer.

2.   I am new to vaping. Where do I start?

   To be successful in switching from smoking to vaping, one of the most important things to initially work out is how much nicotine you normally intake. It is essential not to under or over estimate this factor, as doing so is one of the main reasons people go back to smoking from vaping. If the nicotine level is too high it can cause you to have an unpleasant experience using the vaping device, this is due to not only having too strong an affect but also the nicotine can tarnish the flavour slightly.

   However if the nicotine is too low, subconsciously your body will be craving more nicotine, which will result in you possibly over using the device or feeling a sense of unfullfillment resulting in a possible lapse in back to smoking. We would initially take a rough estimate of the amount of cigarettes a day.

   • 6 cigarettes or less - 3mg
   • 7 to 12 cigarettes - 6mg
   • 12 to 20 cigarettes - 12mg
   • over 20 cigarettes - 18mg

   This is obviously a rough estimate but we find it generally works. Of course if you are local to our store you can pop in and we can further assist you in making the right choice for you. If this is not possible we are always happy to exchange all unopened e-liquids for a higher of lower nicotine level.

   After you get your nicotine level right your going to want to get a starter kit to get started. By buying a kit you will get everything you need to get you going with vaping.

   Which starter kit you buy will depend on what type of throat hit you prefer. The throat hit is how the vapour feels in your throat. If you prefer to have a smooth hit, essentially you are unable to feel the vapour on your throat the fantastic Innokin T18E II kit would be a perfect starter kit for you.

   If on the other hand you prefer a throat hit and like to feel the vapour on your throat then we would recommend the the Aspire Nautilus GT kit as a great starting point.

   Of course you would still need to purchase your liquids to go in either devices which can be found here. With that in mind you are well on your way to putting the cigarettes down for good.

12.   What nicotine strength do I need in my vape?

    To work out what nicotine strength is best for you, we would initially take a rough estimate of the amount of cigarettes you normally smoke a day.

    1. 6 cigarettes or less - 3mg
    2. 7 - 12 cigarettes 6mg
    3. 13 - 20 cigarettes 12mg
    4. over 20 cigarettes 18mg

    This is obviously a rough estimate but we find it generally works. Of course if you are local to our store you can pop in and we can further assist you in making the right choice for you. If this is not possible we are always happy to exchange all unopened e-liquids for a higher of lower nicotine level.

    You can find our premium and excellent tasting starter liquids here in a varietyof nicotine levels.

    In direct to lung e-liquids you generally need a lower amount of nicotine than you would in a mouth to lung starter kit. This is due to direct lungs producing significantly more vapour, therefore due to the increased volume the nicotine is lower.

    The vast majority of direct lung users are happy with 3mg of nicotine in their eliquid.

    To make a 3mg nicotine in direct lung e-liquid, you need to add one nicotine shot to every 50ml of eliquid. For 6mg nicotine in direct lung e-liquid, you need to add two nicotine shot to every 50ml of eliquid.
