Hon is the reason that 49% of vapers are ex-smokers, despite the fact that he was unable to save his father from lung cancer caused by smoking. The man has earned designer ties, sober suits, and dad glasses.

What exactly is the culture of vaping?
The vaping culture, like all other subcultures, grew out of the people who do it. The Big Bang Theory was perfecting the gaming look when they stuck a Cheeto in Penny's disheveled hair. The same thing was done with Aaron Paul's hip-hop hoodies in Breaking Bad, with the hope that he would one day earn those "fat stacks." The proud Walter White would be the world became aware of vaping, and now we have this Vaping has always had a somewhat underground feel to it. The Hogwarts x Dre vibe was present in even the earliest high-street vape shops. As soon as you entered, you'd be greeted by a moody background of beats, neatly stacked bottles, and a "potion for you" vibe. That has largely remained unchanged. Newer stores, like our Goodge Street location, feature more glistening minimalism, but the rebellious vibe is still present. And it's right. This is an industry that has the courage to criticize Big Tobacco. Even though it goes by names like "Prohibition" and "Suicide Bunny," customers are aware that they have nothing to lose.

The Branding

Yes, the vape industry's branding is somewhat specialized. Names like "Beard," "Nasty Juice," and "Double Drip" are Gothic tropes. If you go to Vape Jam or Vaper Expo, you'll see a lot of young people dressed in black that have been altered to show tattoos on their shoulders and arms.

Sub-Ohming- Vaping with coils that have a resistance below 1.0 Ohms is known as sub-Ohming. In order to produce larger clouds, more experienced vapers lower the Ohms level. They will be familiar with this.

Flavor chasing- Cloud and flavor chasing are exactly what it says it is. While flavor chasers prioritize flavor, cloud chasers are in it for the beastly clouds. Both call for different tools and methods. Learn more here.

Squonking- Squonking involves putting juice into the atomizer with a squonk mod. gaining popularity as a result of TPD regulations limiting tank sizes (squonk containers are not considered tanks).
