Have you decided to take the plunge and start weaning yourself off smoking with an electronic cigarette? Congratulations! The transition to vape can be an excellent way to gradually reduce your tobacco consumption and improve your quality of life.
To meet the needs of all vapers, the electronic cigarette market has diversified considerably in recent years, with numerous models and types of devices. But how do you choose the one that’s right for you?
Find out in this guide all you need to know to choose the right electronic cigarette for you.
Before diving into the world of electronic cigarettes, it’s a good idea to know what the word “puff” refers to. A puff is a disposable electronic cigarette, generally small, compact, and pre-filled with liquid.
Easy to use and maintenance-free, puffs have rapidly become a must-have for beginners. These e-cigarettes are available in a wide variety of flavors and nicotine levels, and offer a quick and easy vaping experience.
Good to know: to meet ecological considerations, puffs are now available in reusable and refillable formats!
Reusable puffs represent an excellent compromise between disposable models and more complex e-cigarettes. They generally feature a rechargeable battery and a tank that you can fill with the e-liquid of your choice.
Easy to use, they are particularly suitable for beginner vapers or those looking for a practical solution without too many adjustments.
X-Bar offers two reusable puff models:
•The Click & Puff: Once you’ve got the battery, all you have to do is buy the e-liquid refills sold in pre-filled pods.
•X-Bar 650 v2: A new reusable version of our famous puff. Once the liquid has run out, you can refill it using the small cap integrated into the upper part.
Vaporizer-style puffs, like the X-Bar Filter Pro model, are slightly more advanced and offer more precise control, for a tailored vaping experience. Generally equipped with an interchangeable cartridge or tank system, they can offer a wider range of flavors and nicotine levels.
They are suitable for vapers looking to personalize their experience and who are prepared to invest a little more time in maintaining their device.
Unique and innovative, the X-Bar Shisha offers a user-friendly vaping experience, as it can be used simultaneously by two people. Vapers are independent and can choose a different flavor!
Electronic cigarettes generally operate on two main systems: pods and liquid-filled tanks. The pod system is a popular format, particularly suitable for beginners.
This system uses cartridges or pods pre-filled with e-liquid, making e-cigarette use simpler and more hygienic. In addition, filling is generally cleaner and less tedious than with traditional models that use tanks.
The pod system also reduces the risk of liquid leaks and makes transport easier, as cartridges are often smaller and more compact. So, this is the format to go for if you’re looking for a practical, discreet solution!
Battery life is one of the most important criteria! Occasional vapers will be happy with a small-capacity battery. However, if you’re a daily vaper, you’ll want an e-cigarette with a larger battery, capable of lasting several hours or a whole day without needing to be recharged. A longer battery life is particularly useful if you plan to use it frequently throughout the day.
The nicotine content of the e-liquid is a second criterion to consider. If you’re a heavy smoker, you’ll probably need to start with an e-liquid containing a high level of nicotine, between 10 mg and 20 mg, to satisfy your needs.
On the other hand, if you’re a moderate smoker or want to gradually reduce your consumption, you can choose an e-liquid with a lower nicotine level, between 0 mg and 10 mg.
Mouth-to-lung or direct-lung system, the draw mode has a major influence on your vaping experience. Find out more about these two systems.
Particularly popular with smokers making the transition to vape, mouth-to-lung puffing is one of the most popular modes. This simulates the sensation of smoking a traditional cigarette: the smoker must first inhale into the mouth, before directing the vapor into the lungs. This offers a smoother, more controlled vaping experience.
The direct-lung draw is aimed more at experienced vapers. It allows vapor to be inhaled directly into the lungs, resulting in a denser vapor for a more intense vaping experience. This system is generally found in powerful devices.
You should also pay close attention to the resistance of your appliance. Choose appliances with easy-to-change heating elements, or models with long-life heating elements, to reduce maintenance costs.
If you’re an occasional smoker, or just want to use an e-cigarette as an occasional substitute, a simple model such as a pod puff with a low nicotine level will be ideal.
To satisfy average consumption, a device with longer autonomy and the ability to customize nicotine levels and vapor will be more suitable. Pod models or X-Bar Filter Pro-type vaporizers are perfect for these needs!
Regular smokers with high nicotine consumption should choose a model with a large tank and long autonomy. More advanced models, with long-lasting resistance and the possibility of adapting steam intensity, are particularly suitable.
X-Bar offers a wide range of electronic puffs with pod systems. Once you’ve bought the battery, all you have to do is recharge your stock of pods: a cost-effective, eco-responsible alternative to the traditional puff!
