“I Need to Make My Car Into a Mobile Office with Computer and All” He Said
If you are going mobile with your job, you will need to get your car completely outfitted with all the right tools. This means you will need a good laptop stand mounted inside. Not long ago, I met a guy in the Starbucks parking lot working on his laptop sitting in the passenger seat, using the WiFi inside from outside. He had his cigarette lighter hooked up to an AC Inverter and was complaining it the laptop was too hot and burning his crotch. I laughed.
Then he said, “you know what I need – I need to make my SUV into a mobile office with computer and all,” and I told him that wasn’t all that hard to do. Let me explain what I mean and what I told him that day; there are more and more folks who have turned their cars into offices on wheels. Today, many entrepreneurs, and small business people have lap tops, iPads, Smart Phones, and the old proverbial file boxes in their automobiles as they go about calling on clients, accounts, or marketing their goods and services.
Of course, there are rules disallowing the use of such electronics in your car while you are driving; no text-messaging, cell phone use, and no computing while cruising. Sure that makes sense – still, sometimes you need a place to do your business while in your work vehicle when it is parked. Now then, let’s say you wish to want to install a lap top desk into your SUV, pick-up, work van, or car? Below are some tips on how to get this done;
1. First, you are going to need an inverter, and it is best if you hard wire this to the battery, not just plug it into your cigarette lighter.
2. Next, you are going to need a lap top stand, and it must be a strong and steady platform. There are many brands online to look at. Personally, I have a Jotto Desk unit, which is very nice.
3. Finally, before you install it, you need to make sure it will not interfere with your driving, your drink holder, your emergency brake, or gear shifter; easier said than done. And since you will most likely buy this lap top stand online, you really don’t know the dimensions until you get it shipped to you. Even if you know the dimensions, you might need to tilt it at an angle both vertically, and laterally, which basically changes everything.
4. Remember to measure this out to the best of your ability prior to ordering it, and don’t forget it must match the size of your notebook, or laptop too.
Okay so, you’ve picked out the unit and now it’s here, the installation is very important.
1. First, installing the inverter. You need to make sure that it can handle ten amps, and you must position it in a place where it has decent ventilation, as they do get hot. I recommend using the specified wire width, and not to go beyond that, as it will reduce the current flow from the battery.
2. When you run the wire to the battery, under the carpet and through the firewall, make sure there are rubber grommets anywhere that metal might chafe the rubber coated wire, if you get a short, it could spark a fire.
3. Next, you must mount your lap top table inside the car, and the post will be holding a lot of weight, especially as you, the user, leans on it. Therefore, the bracket must be bolted through the floor board.
4. Check the bottom of the car where you will be putting the bolts all the way through, make sure the area is unencumbered so you can get a nut, a locking nut, and a flat washer around the bolt without getting in the way of wires, fuel lines, emergency brake cables, transmission, or drive line.
5. Line up and mark the holes before drilling, and drill very slowly through the carpet, remember this is for keeps. I often take a small flat piece of wood drill through that first and then place the drill on the hole to drill and force the wood onto the carpet to prevent the drill bit from ripping it up.
6. Once this is done place your lap top on your stand and adjust it for ease of use. You may wish to put a clip on the edge to hold the power cord so it does not get into the way of yourself, passengers, or the operation of the vehicle.
Although for most smokers, the assumption is that their habit and their addiction are synonymous, this isn’t quite true.
In fact, my thesaurus defines “habit” as synonymous with “inclination, tendency, routine”, while “addiction” brings up “fixation, chemical dependency, obsession.”
I see that as a dramatic difference of definitions, don’t you?
I see it as far more than a slight variance in semantic interpretation. To me, there’s a huge discrepancy between an inclination or tendency, and a fixation or obsession.
Defining these differences is the root tool of the process described in my book, “How to Quit Smoking Without Willpower or Struggle.”
Knowing how much of your smoking is habit and how much is addiction is the huge step toward dismantling and removing both from your life.
I separate them this way. The addiction is to the nicotine. The rest is the habit.
It’s my experience from my own cigarette struggle, and assisting others with theirs, that the addiction to nicotine in a seriously addicted, long-term smoker is actually only about four cigarettes a day.
Once all, or even most, of the habitual behavior is removed, four fully smoked cigarettes per day will satisfy most nicotine addictions.
Yet most heavy smokers assume that each cigarette smoked, each urge to light up, stems from the chemical addiction.
This simply isn’t so. Cigarette habit/addiction is far more complex than that.
Most, seemingly all, of the current discussion about cigarettes revolves around the nicotine content.
But little, if any, of the material I’ve recently researched discusses how the tobacco companies have attached cigarettes to the smoker’s self-image, sexuality, and social acceptability.
I’ve placed an article in the reference section of my book about illegal cigarette “product placement” in the movie industry. But since Wilson Key’s book, “Subliminal Seduction” in about 1974(?), I have found no information whatsoever about the subliminal advertising techniques used by all the tobacco companies.
I’m not talking about suggestive images of people being happy while smoking, I’m talking about the word “SEX” quite literally being micro-embedded into the ads, among other practices.
These techniques have nothing to do with the nicotine addiction. Nonetheless they have an addicting effect of their own, on subconscious psychological levels the tobacco companies pray never get mentioned in the press.
These tactics alone would keep many smokers “hooked”, even if there wasn’t any nicotine in the cigarettes at all!
The old adage, “It takes one to know one,” certainly seems to apply to smokers. I don’t believe anyone who has never experienced that panic of finding out that it is 1:00 in the morning, they are out of smokes and money, and there’s no stores within miles can know how that feels, forget be able to teach anyone else how to make that craving “go away”. While an “eater”, finding themselves out of munchies, won’t likely start going door to door in the middle of the night, asking neighbors for a Twinkie or a baloney sandwich, a true “butt junky” will not hesitate.
I know. Been there, done that!
So when I say that I know the way out of this insidious problem infecting fifty million Americans and perhaps ten or even twenty times that many more throughout the world, it isn’t from some theory I’ve dreamt up, or some strategy I’ve designed because “it ought to work”. IT DOES WORK. I successfully used it to end my sixteen year compulsion, and have now helped literally thousands of others as well.
I know there are those who will say, “Sure, it worked for you. But I’m different. I’m more addicted than you were. I have less willpower than you did. I’m not as smart as you. It’s harder for me.” That can be only if they want it to be. The only difference between those folks and me is I decided to quit, and they really don’t want to quit. They insist on believing that there’s something positive for them in smoking that outweighs the negative. That it’s worth the risk of dying a horrible, expensive, painful death to suck smoke from weeds whenever they think they “need” to. This book wasn’t written for them, and it’s not to try to change anyone’s mind. They don’t want to quit smoking, and I say okay.
Sure, they’ll say, “Yes, I do want to quit! You have no idea how many times and how hard I’ve tried! If I could quit right now, I’d do it on the spot.” But unfortunately, they’re lying. Not so much to you or me. They are lying to the one person with whom they must be on the level…themselves.
Another semantic differentiation that must be made is the difference between “trying” and “doing.” While common understanding is that the first leads to the second, this is only true for the first few efforts. Then, “trying” can become a way of behavior in and of itself, having little to do with “doing.”
As a Certified Master Hypnotist for nearly twenty-five years, I’ve performed hundreds of theatrical hypnosis demonstrations called “hypnosis shows”, as well as many instructional seminars in clinical hypnotherapy I’ve given.
One of the “tests” to “prove” a subject is “under” is I have them clasp their hands together, interlacing and overlapping their fingers, the way most adults do when they pray. Then I tell them to “try” to get them apart, but that they “can’t”. The confirming suggestion (instruction) is, “In fact, the harder you try, the more you’ll find you can’t. Trying only makes them grip tighter!” After they’ve demonstrated that indeed, they “can’t” get the hands apart, I say, “Now, on the count of three, you will release your fingers and your hands will come apart quickly and easily.” Of course, you know how this always works out.
The point is this. In the first part of the test, I tell the subjects to “try” but not “do”. In the second, I tell them exactly what to do, and they do it. Two completely separate actions. Therefore, I assert that anyone “trying” to quit smoking is probably not in the process of quitting, and someone truly in the process is not “trying”, they are “doing”.
In a personal growth training seminar I attended many years ago, among the many valuable lessons I learned about people, life, and myself was simply this: You can generally tell what someone really wants to do, and will continue to do, by what they are doing now, and have done in the past.
It’s called “based on results.” It assumes that we all do exactly what we want to do all the time. That each choice we make and action we take leads us to an inevitable, predictable end. That end, to the largest degree and general certainty, can be foreseen. Perhaps not by the person taking that action the first time, but certainly by anyone who’s been down that road a time or two.
I’m not saying that the future must necessarily equal the past, but unless one recognizes that a change in behavior must be taken in the present in order to change the outcome of the future, it likely will. After all, it’s often said that the definition of “crazy” is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results each and every time.
As to the issue of willpower, I must say that I am a lazy person. I’ll always try to find the “easy way out”. It’s my nature (as was, I now choose to believe, the man or woman who invented the wheel). It was for many years a personality trait that caused me to feel guilty, and discount myself as somehow unworthy. I actually believed in that “No pain, no gain” crap. I now know “gain” can be made, not only painlessly, but while having fun and enjoyment at the same time.
(The following story is true and accurate to the best of my recollection and information. Apologies to Charles Tate and any other family member who may find errors in my account.)
About twenty-five years ago, I took in a roommate named George, a man who, at thirty-four years old, had quit working “hard”, and became “lazy”. He’d lost his $600 per week job, his home, ended his long-term relationship, and according to him, was nearly financially and emotionally broke. He just laid down on an army cot in a friend’s garage “to think”, where he told me he’d stayed for “a couple of years.”
When he moved out of that garage and rented a room in my home, he was worth over $25,000,000, and was earning nearly a million more a month!About a year and a half after that, he took his new business public and took home millions the first day of offering. Less than ten years later that business he started in a friend’s garage was sold to Borland for a TON of money & stock.
Was he smart? He told me his IQ was 90. George said, “That’s just one point above moron, buddy!”, which of course it’s not. It’s just the bottom point of average on the old Stanford-Binet IQ test, no longer use.
Was he educated? Dropped out of school in the 10th grade, later to get a GED. He had absolutely no foreknowledge or training whatsoever about the one product that brought him the bulk of his success. In fact, George never even learned how to fully or properly operate it!
Was he industrious? He told me he worked about six hours a day, and most of that with his hands in his pockets. In his own words, he was ” as an ol’ coon hound!”
Was he a physically compelling presence? He was overweight and prematurely balding. His constant daily uniform was a pair of well-worn Chinos, and a K-Mart white dress-shirt, always open at the collar, cuffs turned back, with a pocket protector full of pens and pencils, and many stripes of ink above the pocket from where he’d missed the protector. I never saw him wear a suit or tie. He could pass for the janitor of any building he happened to be in. He had a “Matlock” type of soft-spoken country-boy charm. But no, he wasn’t a compelling presence in the movie star sense. He appeared to be just an average guy. In fact, except for the incredible income, that for the most part is what he was.
We had many late evening talks about what he’d done and was doing, and how easy it seemed. What he finally got through to me was that he’d simply “…decided…” to get rich. Not “try” to get rich. Not “work” at getting rich. As Nike keeps saying, “Just do it.” George just did it.
How? With only his self-taught understanding of computers, he built one of the first Altair 8080-based home computers from a kit, and immediately set about studying computers and educating himself. George decided to make his fortune somewhere in that industry.
He began a mail-order software business, called it Discount Software, one of the first of its kind. He started reading computer magazines and studying software for inclusion in his business. One was highly recommended to him. He read a magazine article about this program that a man had written at home as a hobby. He read the article several times. He sensed he was on to something big, something apparently no one else had recognized.
When he finally did understand the implications and ramifications of what this program could truly become, he found the man, a computer programmer at Jet Propulsion Laboratories named Wayne Ratliff, with whom he met on the Wayne’s lunch break at work. They wrote a one page, hand-written contract on a yellow legal pad, giving George the exclusive right to sell the program. George agreed to pay Ratliff (who’d become overwhelmed by all the work he had to put into marketing and selling the program he’d named Vulcan), a small royalty for each copy he could sell. Ratliff readily accepted. When they parted that day, he wished George, “Good luck!”
That program was called dBASE! Yes, dBASE! Yes, Borland’s (now named Inprise) foundation for their Enterprise Technology!
UPDATE: I believe dBASE was recently acquired by Ksoft, Inc.
The father of the modern small computer database was a high school drop-out, self-proclaimed “hillbilly” from Greenville, SC, with virtually no formal education in computer science (albeit self-taught beyond what “formal” education could have possibly offered him), by his account a barely average IQ, and a lazy man to boot. But a man who had DECIDED! And then he followed up that decision with action.
Because of this one man, who’d decided to become financially prosperous, IBM launched full-blast into its budding PC division. Until then, they apparently couldn’t see the application for PC’s for the mass market. This one man’s decision and focus literally dramatically changed the way the entire world does business today. His name was George Tate. Ashton was his parrot. He called that business Ashton Tate.
George loved life. He used to walk around our house saying, “Nobody’s life works better’n mine!” He seemed very happy. He’d found the love of his life, bought her a million dollar home farther down the beach, and together, they had a beautiful baby girl.
When the child was about eight months old, George’s wonderful fantasy life ceased to work, and ended. At 39 years old, with “the world at his feet”, he dropped dead at his desk one morning from his first heart attack. You see, George was courting another love too…cigarettes!
The point is that all of life can be mastered by decision, followed by action. Clear decision followed by decisive action. Ridding oneself of an unwanted habit, even a chemical addiction, is as simple as this: decide to do it, then follow up on that decision. It’s that simple.
“But”, you say, “it can’t be that easy!”
Did I say easy? No, I said SIMPLE.
But yes, it can be relatively easy as well. Analogize it this way. If you had to move a mountain, would you put your shoulder against it and begin to push? Of course not. You’d get a shovel and wheelbarrow, and start digging. With each shovel full you’d be moving the mountain. Not “trying” to do it, but “doing” it. That’s an important distinction.
If you were here in Las Vegas and had to get to Los Angeles, would you take a running jump from the Las Vegas Strip and hope to land on Wilshire Blvd.? No, of course you wouldn’t. If there was no other way to go, you’d put one foot in front of the other, toes always pointing southwest. You wouldn’t be “trying” to go there, you’d be “going” there. And eventually, if you kept just doing that simple process, you’d arrive (or die along the way.)
Quitting smoking is the same process, applied to a different journey. First, you learn to begin dismantling your “habit”. After that’s gone, the addiction part is much easier! And you can smoke a cigarette each and every time you want to…really want to…while you are doing it.
Hard to believe, isn’t it? Yet to this very day, I know I can smoke each and every time I want. But I haven’t wanted or smoked a cigarette since Tuesday, January 2, 1979, at about 10:00 p.m. Really!
It’s easy to make a mistake once you start something new – and after ten years of vaping I think I’ve seen or made most of the mistakes here!
But don’t go off – over those decade e-cigarettes currently have ever much easier to use and with new beginner devices it’s getting easier and much easier to start vaping. With the help of this Vape Shops Near Me guide, one can learn from others’ mistakes, and get off to vaping using a flying start.
1. Buying an advanced vape mod from your word go
One of the biggest Vape Shops Near Me problem new vapers make after they start vaping is getting the wrong device. Unfortunately, some shops encourage this by selling expensive high-end devices that are not befitting new users.
When you start out vaping ideally most vapers need something which is easy to use, carries a draw comparable to what cigarette, and delivers the proper throat hit for you. One great selection for new vapers is really a pod system honestly. Small, compact, and coming with the automatic draw, they’re very all to easy to use.
Another Vape Shops Near Me choice is to obtain a device, including the Jac Vapour S17, which is often upgraded having a simple switch to the coil. This means you could have a tight draw just like a cigarette but the possibility to change to your vape with more vapour along with a looser draw in the longer term.
An exception to this is when you might have friends who’re happy to give support. You can often begin with trying their devices and move straight away to the high-end device your pal’s use.
You can comprehend it. Someone who has never got a new vape can certainly think they’re all alike – that the £10.00 vape pen with five-year-old technology displayed on the market stall or in a garage matches another device.
But that’s not the situation.
Buying a bad vape can lead to:
Poor performance
Poor vapour production
Poor nicotine products
Poor battery life
Poor flavour production
Coils burning out
Coils not fitting

Fortunately, there is certainly a good amount of selection for vapers among the better manufacturers for example Innokin, Aspire among others.
3. Starting with the incorrect nicotine level
Another major Vape Shops Near Me mistake a large number of vapers to make is beginning with the incorrect nicotine level. It’s especially vital not to start out which has a nicotine level that’s too low. Your vape has to be satisfying enough to switch tobacco cigarettes. It is worth taking into account that nicotine isn’t the only thing that contributes towards cigarette addiction. If you’re a nicotine level that’s too low, then the likelihood is you’ll find that this vape isn’t satisfying enough to exchange cigarettes and/or you are vaping away without feeling fully satisfied.
If you’re by using a higher nicotine level, whilst still being not getting the hit you need, or have found the throat hit too harsh, consider trying nicotine salts.

4. Starting with excessive nicotine
It’s also possible to have an excessive amount of nicotine. This is actually rarer than starting using a nicotine level that’s too low. I’ve only experienced it when going round vape shows and looking numerous e-liquids, or each time a supplier has brought round dozens of different e-liquids to sample.
The Best Vape Shops Near Me thing to do is be sure that you’ve got the best nicotine level for you personally from the start. When you’re buying coming from a shop they are able to aid this. If you do feel you might have had too much nicotine, simply take a rest from vaping for some time. To learn more about the symptoms, and purchasing it, have a look at our article on nicotine overdose here.
5. Buying a bad flavour
It’s important too to find the right e-juice – and yes it’s not just about nicotine. First you need to have the right flavour in lieu of count on the first flavour being the one which will it for you. It’s important to consider using a number of flavours to discover the perfect one for you. This will help ensure that vaping can be a satisfying alternative to tobacco cigarettes.
You could want to get started on off with tobacco, however, that once you begin checking out the wonderful word whole world of e-liquid flavours you are more unlikely to return to smoking.
It’s also vital to have the PG/VG ratio right. Almost all e-liquid contains propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG). These are colourless alcohols that happen to be to blame for producing the vapour whenever you vape. PG provides better hit around the back of your throat and carries flavour better. VG is sweeter, thicker and produces more vapour. For more information relating to this see our article on PG and VG.
When you start out you usually require a higher PG level such as Halo e-liquid. PG is simpler for the basic coil that you typically still find it starter devices. That’s because VG is thick and needs special coils so that you can work effectively. PG also gives a good throat hit in starter devices that is certainly more similar to exactly what a cigarette. If you decide to go heightened in the longer term and initiate using larger devices and coils produced for cloud vaping, you’ll need to begin an e-liquid having a higher VG level.

7. Giving up too quickly
Some Vape Shops Near Me vapers exchange signal of vaping with no problem. However, us it takes time. After all, vaping isn’t the same as smoking – to begin with, it’s apt to be less addictive. Fortunately your research implies that people who dual vape, that is certainly both smoke and vape, will often be very successful in switching to vaping completely in the long run.
8. Not getting support
As Stop Smoking Expert Louise Ross stated in her interview around here, smokers’ success when switching to vaping skyrocket after they get support. This can be coming from a specialist to give up smoking service, other vapers, and friends or over a forum or social networking.
9. Not following the correct charging instructions
Battery malfunctions are rare, but they are able to happen. The best way to avoid them is to keep to the guidelines in our battery safety infographic.

10. Not being informed
Vaping is really a disruptive industry which threatens many billions in revenue to both corporations and governments. The FDA is also very alarmed by the take up of vaping amongst teenagers, particularly in a recent month using the surge in popularity by Juul. So it’s unsurprising that millions will be spent on PR against vaping.
While the UK government has given out a regular message that, according to evidence, vaping is just about 95% safe than vaping, so many people are still convinced vaping is equally as bad as smoking. Being informed will help cope with any objections. A great place to start is our interview with Karen House in the Leicester Stop Smoking service, which relates to 14 common objections to vaping and why they’re wrong.
11. Making mistakes when filling
Vape tanks are receiving easier and simpler to fill. The main Vape Shops Near Me thing to consider is that when you’re filling, do not get e-liquid down the centre tube of your tank. Most modern tanks are top-fill and also have a hole within the side with the top through which you fill e-liquid. If unsure, check the Vape Shops Near Me instructions that accompany your tank, or look at the video below.
12. Not changing the coil regularly enough
As tanks grow older they acquire gunk. They can also get burnt spots. This can cause the flavors to decrease or becoming burnt. Burnt coils are also harmful to your overall health. To avoid this, change coils regularly. It may also be worth cleaning your tank!
13. Keeping your vape on in the pocket
“Excuse me, but I think your pocket is unstoppable,” said the Doctor.
That was among my more embarrassing vape experiences, with vapour coming out of my pocket while I consulted a doctor after having a spider bite abroad. (It was still much better than the subsequent injection in my tail, though.)
That’s doesn’t happen often, especially with modern devices, nonetheless, it’s still worthy of turning off your device before putting it in the bank.
You also need to maintain your battery faraway from other metal/coins/keys e.t.c. One with the best things you can do is to get your a vape bag. The Kbag and Kbag Mini are made designed for vapers, but any bag that holds your devices securely will perform.
14. Combining the wrong battery and tank
I still wince when I view a basic tank such as the Aspire Nautilus on the powerful battery for example the Eleaf iStick Power.
This isn’t always an important mistake, as many combinations will work together, but it is often a waste. A tank including the Nautilus carries a high resistance (above 1 ohm). Don’t worry if this type of doesn’t be the better choice to you, the key thing to recollect here is the fact that a high resistance only needs a low power setting.
It’s like utilizing a racing car to get your laundry. It’ll work, nonetheless, it’s a complete waste of money and power and it just looks… wrong.
15. Burning out coils
Coils burn out, it’s a fact of (vaping) life. But there are a number of things you can do to avoid it from happening.
Prime your coils: Simply drip a couple of drops of e-liquid into the holes in your coil and around the center, and leave your e-liquid to soak into the coil before utilizing it for the 1st time.
Use the correct power range: Most tanks and coils now feature guidelines for the correct power range to work with – stay within these and your coil lasts longer.
Adjust your vaping style depending around the device you are using: Chain or heavy vaping on the a device with a low resistance tank can lower lifespan in the coil.
Most e-liquids contain propylene glycol, which can cause you to feel dehydrated. There’s an easy solution – keep yourself hydrated 🙂 (I’ve tried beer and whisky too, nonetheless, it doesn’t work quite as well…)
17. Letting batteries run out
It’s simple to get caught out when you’re new to vaping, though the last Vape Shops Near Me thing you need to do is run to get a cigarette because you’re dying for any nicotine hit. You need no less than two batteries, of course, if you’re travelling a good deal it’s worth carrying a Power Bank like the Pebble Explorer.
19. Running out of e-liquid pods or cartridges
Ditto! If you’re ordering online it’s an easy task to get caught out. Make sure you’ve got enough supplies to last, especially when bank holidays are approaching!
19. Mixing flavours
So you’ve finished your menthol, and want to try a new flavour. You top-up the tank which has a custard cream – only to acquire some perversion of custard and menthol. Yuck!
You could possibly get away with mixing some flavours (menthol and fruit, as an example, if that’s want). But other flavours just don’t mix. Either utilise a seperate tank, or clean the tank out and leave it to dry before utilizing a new flavour.
20. Thinking you’ve to know everything about Vape Shops Near Me vaping to have started
Spend excessive time on blogs understanding about voltage, watts and ohms and you also could easily be mistaken for thinking vaping is often a complicated thing suited to people with a strong technical bent. The truth is, vaping will be as easy or complicated as you would like it.
Vapor Stores Near My Location
Many those who started on cartridge style ‘cigalikes’, for instance, simply screw a cartridge in with a battery and inhale. The new pod systems will also be an easy task to use.
21. Not understanding vape etiquette
Yep, there is certainly such a thing as vape etiquette! Most of it really is fairly Vape Shops Near Me basic – don’t blow vapour in people’s faces, for instance! Based on a survey of hundreds of vapers, we’ve assembled this infographic self-help guide to vape etiquette.
That’s about it from us. What mistakes have you made when vaping?
Why would I try vaping – I’ve heard which it’s not economical for travel?
A large number of researchers have now been done on Vape Shops Near Me e-cigarettes and experts agree they are no less than 95% less harmful than smoking.
The two primary ingredients in tobacco which cause health conditions and premature deaths are tar and co – neither of these the situation is in electronic cigarettes.

But I’ve read inside the newspapers, inside Sun and whatnot, that vaping is worse to suit your needs than smoking?
Unfortunately the media often gets it wrong and there are already some studies that have been very misleading. E-cigarettes tend to be much safer than smoking. If you’d probably like accurate info on e-cigarettes it’s better to look at the Public Health England website.
Some with the studies present headlines inside media then if you look deeper into them it turns out that’s not the case at all. So going to a reputable website is the best thing.
So how come papers publishing this?
I think there’s a very firm grip on people’s imaginations that anything related to smoking is going to be not a good idea.
Because vapes are seen as a substitute product, you will find there’s firmly held belief already before any evidence happens why these will likely lead to similar problems.
It’s about a preconceived idea as well as an expectation that something you smoke and inhale in your lungs will be bad. People often think it’s the nicotine in tobacco that’s the challenge when we know it’s not nicotine – it’s the tar and co.

But we don’t know what’s in e-cigarettes!
Actually perform, high are very few ingredients when compared with tobacco cigarettes.
All of the Vape Shops Near Me ingredients are actually around for some time, so nothing is new or unknown in e-cigarettes. They are regulated by consumer protection legislation but are certainly not yet licensed like a medicine.
What in regards to the formaldehyde in e-cigarettes?
This news report was based on a report where the liquid within the e-cigarette was heated to this kind of temperature that it actually damaged the liquid.
No user would be able to apply it by doing this; it would taste burnt and disgusting! Since then that study may be completely discredited. Unfortunately, a lot of people have read that piece and in all probability go back to smoking, which can do much more damage to theirs.
That’s only some of the things I’ve heard about e-cigs, though. I’ve also heard that vaping might cause popcorn lung?
Yes, that’s another media piece that has misrepresented the reality. Diacetyl can be a flavoring that is used inside the food niche for such things as popcorn, to offer a buttery flavor.
A study indicated that Popcorn lung (bronchiolitis obliterans) is discovered in 8 popcorn plant workers subjected to extremely high doses of diacetyl. This triggered headlines on vaping risks towards the lungs.
It has been found in some e-liquid flavors. But numbers of diacetyl in EC vapor are 100 times below in cigarettes yet smoking hasn’t been associated with popcorn lung. (Source: Paul Aveyard- Professor of Behavioural Medicine, Oxford University, UK Centre for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies).
Efforts are actually made to exclude diacetyl from e-liquids but there might be a couple of still hanging around, so it’s always better to buy liquids from reputable retailers.
There’s more! I also saw some research which says they are damaging to your heart. You’re not to imply that’s rubbish too, are you?
The Vape Shops Near Me study reported popular temporary outcomes of nicotine on blood pressure levels and stiffness with the aorta – the primary artery into the heart.
Coffee has this effect to your larger extent and lasts considerably longer. Other things that induce this are watching football and use! It’s something we’d all anticipate to happen to us over the day.

As a new vapor sometime the variety of choices can be overwhelming, you may not know what to chose and what works in order to have the perfect vaping experience. This is where we are here to help. In comparison to smoking normal cigarettes, vaping has a lot more to it. Depending on the vaping kit that you have, the right e liquid for you is dependent on of course your personal preference of flavour and PG/VG ratio. There is lot of options available if you prefer fruits, desserts, and mint or tobacco flavour e liquids.
Around the UK there are a lot of vape stores where you can buy eliquid, however it may seem as though recently cheap eliquid in UK is ever expanding. Before choosing the right vape kit device, one should consider whether they prefer mouth to lung inhale, similar like smoking cigarette or direct to lung inhale which is like smoking traditional shisha pipes. Accordingly you can choose simple pen style starter kit or usually box mods which comes sub ohm tanks for later preference.
E-Liquid Ingredients
Each bottle of eliquid has two major components, these are often shortened down to PG/VG, however the proper names are Vegetable Glycerin and Propylene Glycol. The difference in these is that higher proportion of PG is used in eliquids for a stronger throat hit, usually 50/50 VG/PG e liquid. This is more attractive for mouth to lung (MTL) vapers as these are commonly used in the starter kits to give the affect of a throat hit to subsidize you are beginner vaper trying to come off cigarettes. This is to ensure that the transition from smoking normal cigarettes is a lot easier for you.
VG on the other hand is the opposite, usually higher proportion of VG, which is 70/30 VG/PG e liqud. Vegetable Glycerin is used in eliquids to produce a much smoother vape, also known as direct to lung or sub ohm vaping, which is facilitated by sub ohm vape tanks. VG concentration is to bring intense flavour and cloud production, usually used at higher wattage. These are often both in a variety of ratios so that you are able to find the one that best suits your vaping style.
What eliquid is the most suitable for my electronic cigarette?
There are many different kinds of electronic cigarettes, so firstly it is important to analyze the hardware that you are using. If you are a beginner and are just looking for some advice, ask yourself, would i prefer a MTL or direct to lung/sub ohm vape product. Once you decide the way you want to vape, then there are few options to consider, as explained below.
Mouth to Lung (MTL)
As above we have gone over the PG/VG definitions, you will now know that for MTL users the best eliquid will be ones which have a higher ratio of PG and usually used with a higher level of nicotine e liquid. However, it is most common to use a 50/50 VG/PG ratio as you get a pleasant throat hit whilst also having a great amount of flavour and vapour production.
Pod systems/Pod Mod systems are the newest craze within the vaping world and are usually used by MTL users, however many newer version pod kit also offer Sub Ohm vaping too, when choosing right coil. We have previously done a blog on pod systems and pod e liquid if you would also like to check that out. However to save some time i will summarize few key points below.

Open pod system – Open pod systems are normally the more popular options as they are more flexible, you are able to fill them up with any vape juice of your preference, could it be of any brand as well. It also allows you to use different type of replacement coils as well as replacement pods, if you decide to switch different flavour, at usually similar price of a coil.
Closed pod system – Closed pod systems are a little bit different as they always come pre-filled vape juice and once eliquid is finished you will have to use replacement pod rather than just changing the coil. They are a little bit more restrictive than an open pod system as you are not able to switch brands of flavour of your choice except what if offered by the same manufacturer.
SubOhm Vaping
Sub Ohm vape users are usually vapors who have either passed the MTL phase or only vape for the flavour and cloud chasing. This is a very popular form of vaping for experienced vapors. Sub Ohm vape are usually a lot bigger box mod vape kit compared to starter kit and normally have more advanced features. These vape devices offer larger tank for eliquids, additionally you can purchase bigger extension glasses separately, an LED screen with wattage settings, to vape on higher or lower wattages. Each electronic cigarette (apart from closed pod systems, like explained above) will have a coil system. Any coil that is lower than 1.0 Ohm this allows the production of vapor to be larger when using higher VG concentrated eliquids.
CBD Eliquids
There is also another newly introduced feature to vaping which is the use of CBD infused eliquid. Cbd eliquid in UK is all the natural flavourings from cannabis however, the reason why it a healthier alternative is due to it complying with laws and having no THC eliquid in UK.

To name a few of the top brands of products that we supply from all over the world are as follows;
Does it have the same effects of smoking shisha than smoking an ordinary cigarette? Most Arab countries have their own version of a tobacco water pipe. It is most commonly called as a Shisha or a Hookah. It has been part of the tradition, oldest and popular in Middle East countries and is also seen in India, Turkey and Egypt. It is a tall pipe with glass bottom where some cooled water is filled in. At the top most, it is where the tobacco is placed covered by a thin foil. On top of the foil is the heated coal. The Shisha or Sheesha usually operates by filtering the water and heating up the tobacco indirectly. It has gained popularity in most Arab countries. Some used it to smoke marijuana, herbal fruits or tobacco. It is usually smoke in various flavors namely, strawberry, apple, peach, pistachio, mint, coconut, mango and a lot more.
There’s a saying that Shisha are less dangerous than smoking cigarette or pipe smoking. How true is that? Maybe it is because it is indirectly done when smoking? According to the WHO, analysis have reached to the point that it is far more dangerous than smoking cigarettes or pipe smoking. One is getting more smoke from the hookah than smoking a stick of a cigarette thus exposing to smoke in a longer period of time. Inhaling that smoke from the hookah is like inhaling toxic gases and compounds and also some heavy metals thus leading to pulmonary and cardiac problems. It means water in the pipe doesn’t filter the smoke but does absorb nicotine.
There’s a fact that leads to saying, Shisha time is just equal to and the same with smoking cigarettes. But it is just that like smoking 100 to 200 times cigarettes in a 60-minute Hookah session. Thus saying that it is more dangerous than smoking a cigarette. Another thing is that it is unhygienic and unhealthy when there are more than 2 sharing the pipe. One could acquire respiratory or pulmonary problems by passing the pipe to another and another. Going to cafes that has Sheesha for everyone is unhealthy. Inhaling the smoke from those who are doing a session is still considered as a passive smoker. And come to think of it, passive smokers acquires fatal health complications than active smokers.
Thus, Shisha is noted that it is more dangerous than smoking a cigarette. It is noted as more hazardous to health and can lead to numerous complications to the human body’s vital organs just the same with smoking an ordinary cigarette.
