Choosing and Using Vapes
How do I choose the right vape for me?
With so many options available on the Canadian vape market, it can be difficult to find a vape that is suited to each individual’s needs. Here at Anytime Vapors, we are avid supporters of refillable devices. There are many considerations such as; form factor, battery size, pod/tank capacity, coil material and resistance, drawn type, and various other device features. For those looking for an alternative to smoking but are unsure as to whether vaping is for them, disposables and closed-pod systems provide an easy non-committal introduction to the market. No matter what your preferences are, we here at Anytime Vapors are more than happy to help you in finding the format that is right for you!
How do I choose the right nicotine strength for me?
There are a variety of factors to consider when selecting the right nicotine strength for your experience. These include but are not limited to: your smoking habits and personal preferences. A heavy smoker may need a higher nicotine strength to satisfy their craving, while the opposite bears true as well. E-liquids are typically available in 0mg (0%), 3mg (0.3%), 6mg (0.6%), 10mg (1%), 12mg (1.2%), and 20mg (2%). This range is typically seen in bottled e-liquid, thus requiring a refillable device, however some closed-pods and disposables also offer a few of these variations as well.
What nicotine strength is recommended for smokers?
- Heavy smokers who consume one or more packs of cigarettes a day are typically advised to start with nicotine strengths between 10mg/mL and 20mg/mL, offering a comparable nicotine intake to smoking and help ease the transition to vaping.
- Moderate smokers who smoke less than a pack a day may find strengths between 6mg/mL to 12mg/mL suitable to their needs. This is a balanced experience between strength and harsh throat hits.
- Light smokers occasionally opt for nicotine strengths between 3mg/mL and 6mg/mL and are provided a mild hit while still satisfying cravings.
Are there different nicotine types available?
Yes, there are two main types of nicotine used in e-liquids: freebase nicotine and nicotine salts. Nicotine salts are smoother and more suitable for higher strengths, making them ideal for those who crave a stronger nicotine hit without the harshness. Freebase nicotine typically comes in lower strengths and is perfect if you’re looking to decrease your nicotine intake.
What is e-liquid?
- Propylene Glycol (PG): This colorless and odorless synthetic organic compound serves as a carrier for flavourings and nicotine. It helps produce a robust throat hit, enhancing the overall vaping experience.
- Vegetable Glycerin (VG): A natural liquid derived from vegetable oils, VG contributes to the production of thick, dense vapour clouds. It also adds a touch of sweetness to the e-liquid.
- Flavourings: Food-grade flavourings are added to e-liquid to create a wide range of delicious flavours, including fruits, desserts, menthol, tobacco, and more. These flavourings are carefully selected to ensure an authentic and enjoyable taste.
- Nicotine: Although some e-liquids are nicotine-free (0mg), others contain varying nicotine strengths to cater to vapes’ preferences. Nicotine is optional, and users can choose the level that suits their needs, ranging from low to high nicotine concentration.

How long does a disposable vape last?
The longevity of a disposable vape depends on various factors, such as the size of the e-liquid reservoir and a vaper’s habits. On average, a disposable vape can last anywhere between a few hundred to thousands of puffs before the reservoir runs dry. Keep in mind that disposable vapes are designed with casual or temporary use in mind.

Is vaping safer than smoking cigarettes?
Switching to vaping reduces your exposure to harmful toxins that can cause cancer, lung disease, and diseases of the heart and circulation like heart attack and stroke. Evidence shows that vaping is less harmful in these regards than smoking cigarettes.
This is not to say vaping is risk free – it just happens that cigarettes are much worse for you.
Studies have shown that vaping is 90-95% healthier than smoking traditional cigarettes.

Does vaping cause popcorn lung?
There have been no confirmed cases of popcorn lung linked to e-cigarettes. Some of the liquid in e-cigarettes previously contained diacetyl, a food flavouring agent traditionally found in popcorn butter. This chemical was banned for use in e-cigarette and e-liquids, so any legal e-liquids sold in Canada aren’t allowed to contain diacetyl.
While diacetyl is the additive attributed with the rise in these claims, another common additive, Vitamin E acetate, which is a thickening agent typically found in some cannabis vaporizers, has sparked this controversy again more recently in 2020. This additive is not typically found to be contained in products available on the Canadian market, but is common in unregulated products.
To avoid this issue, please avoid purchasing vapes through unregulated channels. Only use legal and approved e-cigarettes available at any number of the reputable retailers across Canada.
All of our E-liquids are from reputable manufacturers and tested in labs before we put them on our shelves.
