Can you vape if you have never smoked?

I think what everyone is giving is very good advice. If you have never smoked, please don't take up an alternative to smoking.#N#I can understand it seeming interesting, but it is only a safer way for people who have smoked to get their fix. Depending on which area of vaping interests you, you could still look into something to learn, that will be of a better benefit to vaping.#N#Say for instance, the way mods work interests you. You could learn about electronics and possibly get onto a course, and then depending how far you wanted to go either make electronic projects as a hobby, or even for work.#N#Just don't smoke or vape, please. If the flavours interest you, most are based on things that already exist. If you like the sound of apple pie, have an apple pie! .

Is vaping bad for you?

Well... to be totally honest, we don't know exactly the long term effects of vaping. We do know, they are much less harmful than smoking. 95% to 99% less harmful, but even PG, VG and flavoring will have some effect. If you do try vaping, stick to 0mg nicotine. You aren't addicted to it now from cigarettes, no need to start using it.#N#Since it isn't addictive without the nicotine, if you want to try, you have that freedom to do so, and there will be lots of help here if you need it. (and you will)#N#So to start off.. NEVER CHEAP OUT ON YOUR BATTERIES! Use only high drain Sony, Samsung or LG. Samsung 25r is a decent battery to start with.#N#2nd start with a regulated PVD (personal vaping device *also called a mod*) Regulated is software controlled and is much more forgiving than a mechanical mod (basically, a flashlight with a heating coil instead of a bulb, but with a much more powerful battery) There are 2 types of mechanical mods. Hybrid and non-hybrid. The non-hybrid have a floating 510 positive pin so are much safer than the hybrid, where the positive pole of the tank sits directly on the battery. I will not use a hybrid.#N#However, start with a regulated mod. They are safer. Not 100% safe (rarely the chips fail), but that is why we say don't cheap out on the batteries.#N#Of course, the best advice is not to start vaping if you don't smoke. But should you choose to, do it safely. Ask questions in here before trying stuff as you learn. An example is I once saw someone say they wanted to use copper wire. This is a hard NO! Mainly, because the resistance of copper is far below a safe level, and 2ndly, heating copper creates copper oxides, which are not healthy. Just as an example mind you. (but don't try it.)#N#Basically, like everyone else, I recommend not starting vaping if you never smoked and aren't trying to quit. But if you do choose to start for your own reasons, we'll help you when you need it.
