Frequently Asked Questions About Vaping
Replace vape coils every 1-2 weeks depending on usage, e-liquid type, and wattage. Signs it's time to replace include burnt taste, reduced flavor, decreased vapor production, or visible coil degradation. Sweet e-liquids and higher wattages may require more frequent replacement.
Freebase nicotine provides a stronger throat hit and is ideal for sub ohm vaping at lower concentrations. Nicotine salts offer smoother delivery at higher concentrations, perfect for pod systems and mouth-to-lung devices. Read our complete guide comparing freebase vs nicotine salts for detailed information.
According to Public Health England and the Royal College of Physicians, vaping is at least 95% less harmful than smoking cigarettes. Vaping eliminates combustion and most harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke. Learn more about the health benefits in our detailed comparison of vaping vs smoking.
While some e-liquids historically contained diacetyl (linked to popcorn lung), reputable manufacturers have eliminated this ingredient. Modern quality e-liquids use safer alternatives. The risk is significantly lower than smoking cigarettes, which contain much higher levels of diacetyl. Read our complete analysis of popcorn lung and vaping safety.
Sub ohm vaping uses coils under 1.0 ohm resistance for direct lung inhaling, producing large vapor clouds and intense flavor. Mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping uses higher resistance coils (above 1.0 ohm) and mimics cigarette smoking with a tighter draw and less vapor production.
Always use high-drain batteries from reputable manufacturers like Samsung, Sony, or LG. Store batteries in protective cases, never loose in pockets or bags. Replace batteries when wraps are damaged or performance decreases. Use dedicated battery chargers, not USB charging for external batteries.
Common causes include damaged O-rings, improper assembly, overfilling, or worn seals. Check all O-rings for damage, ensure proper tank assembly, don't overfill past the fill line, and replace worn components. Our experts at Masterpiece Alternatives can diagnose leaking issues regardless of where you purchased your device.
Former heavy smokers (pack+ daily) typically start with 12-18mg for MTL or 3-6mg for sub ohm. Light smokers usually prefer 6-9mg MTL or 0-3mg sub ohm. Non-smokers should choose 0mg. Start higher and work down as needed - it's easier to reduce than increase nicotine strength.
Absolutely! Our team at Masterpiece Alternatives believes in supporting the entire vaping community. We provide expert troubleshooting and advice for any vaping device, regardless of where it was purchased. Bring your device in and we'll help diagnose and resolve the issue.
USA-made e-liquids follow strict FDA manufacturing guidelines, use pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, and provide complete transparency in labeling. American manufacturers typically offer better quality control, more complex flavor profiles, and consistent batch-to-batch quality compared to many imported alternatives.
Replace batteries when they no longer hold a full charge, take significantly longer to charge, feel hot during use, or show physical damage like dents or wrap tears. Most 18650 batteries last 300-500 charge cycles. Always replace batteries in pairs for dual-battery mods.
RDA (Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer) requires manually dripping e-liquid onto coils and provides maximum flavor but limited capacity. RTA (Rebuildable Tank Atomizer) has an e-liquid reservoir for convenience while still allowing custom coil building. RTAs offer better convenience, RDAs provide superior flavor.
Burnt taste usually indicates a dry or overheated coil. Causes include chain vaping without letting coils saturate, using wattage too high for the coil rating, insufficient e-liquid in tank, or an old coil needing replacement. Always prime new coils and stay within recommended wattage ranges.
