You’ve decided to start vaping and buy your first e-cigarette, congrats! But since there are a lot of different models, you might panic and not know which one to choose.

Let’s start by the easiest piece of advice: what you shouldn’t buy! You should avoid first generation e-cigarettes, such as cigalikes. You might find their design appealing, because it’s very similar to the traditional tobacco cigarettes, but you’ll be disappointed by the product. Cigalikes don’t produce a lot of vapor, they don’t enhance flavors that much and the nicotine content is generally low. You won’t be able to feel the throat hit. And the autonomy of their batteries is not very convincing.

On the contrary, do not buy an extremely technical product: you might get discouraged by a powerful e-cig with too many settings.

And finally, what we would suggest to start vaping is a simple, rechargeable e-cigarette: the starter kit all-in-one. It will enable you to vape all day long without having to recharge your battery. Charging times are short, user guides are very clear and the e-liquid filling is easy. And their price is often very interesting!

So we believe you should consider a basic standard model such as a rechargeable cylindrical e-cigarette.  It should be perfect for most of you. The only drawback is that its simplicity is both its greatest asset and weakness at the same time. These models don’t have settings and will not be able to fulfill your expectations if you move towards a more technical vaping technique. You’ll then need to purchase an electronic mod if you want more polyvalence. These modular devices are generally equipped with screens, and give a lot of information such as the autonomy of the battery, the power, the value of the resistance, the number of puffs, etc. Mods will therefore enable you to adjust your power settings and your vaping technique.

Actually, when you’ll have to choose your first e-cigarette, what really matters is what you’ll be doing with it. Do you like high tech and complex products? Or perhaps you want something that looks exactly like a cigarette? Do you want to completely switch to vaping?

A short summary…

Cigalikes resemble the most traditional tobacco cigarettes. Mods and boxes are more technical products with fine power settings. Finally, we suggest you to buy a rechargeable e-cigarette. It’s perfect for a daily use but it remains simple and easy to understand.
