Vaping has become a typical pastime and lifestyle among many around the world. Though some who start vaping do so to help them quit smoking, it has in recent years, skyrocketed among teens with 1 in 5 high school students using e-cigarettes. 

If you are hoping to start vaping, it is important to get a comprehensive understanding of what it all entails. You need to understand what vaping products contain, how they work as well as Green vaping initiatives you can participate in. This guide hopes to do just that.

Vaping Health Risks

Vaping is usually offered as an alternative for those looking to quit smoking cigarettes as there is no tobacco burned. While some swear by it, it is not risk-free, it is vital to understand how vaping works as well as finding the right vape product, especially since though stores like Vape UK contain safe vaping products, there are still products being sold that are not safe to use.

How vapes work

Vapes also known as e-cigarettes or vape pens are battery-operated electronic devices, that contain a mouthpiece, a heating coil, and a pod that holds the liquid. Unlike cigarettes which release smoke, they release a vaporized solution when inhaled. They resemble anything from cigars, pens, or USB memory sticks. 

When the device is switched on, and the user puffs, the liquid or vape juice is heated up releasing a substance resembling water vapor, which is then inhaled, hence the name ‘vaping’. This gives you the same feeling you would have when smoking a cigarette. 

Health issues caused by vaping

This liquid contains nicotine (though not always), enticing vaping flavors, and other chemicals. Since vapes do not have tobacco, some believe they are less risky. Nevertheless, they still contain Nicotine and other toxins that can result in health problems. 

First, some vapes contain dyes, THC, and other chemicals like Vitamin E Acetate which can cause long-term health risks. Despite this vitamin being safe to eat, it can be lethal when inhaled. In fact, Vitamin E Acetate has been known to cause EVALI or E-cigarette or Vaping Use-Associated Lung Injury, a life-threatening syndrome. 

Certain vaping devices offer the flexibility to adjust the nicotine concentration in the vape juice, and it’s even possible to obtain nicotine-free vape juice. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that nicotine remains an addictive substance capable of fostering dependency, regardless of the customization options available.

Vape products may contain additional ingredients that carry the potential for harm to lung health. For instance, the respiratory system is adversely affected by acrolein, a chemical used as a weed killer, and diacetyl, a food additive.

Another often-used ingredient is formaldehyde, a hazardous substance that can cause heart and lung problems. Other chemicals have also been known to cause vaper’s tongue, which causes a sudden full or partial loss of the ability to taste.

Lastly, since vaping is a relatively new phenomenon, there are so many unknowns and different vape juice ingredients can have lasting harmful effects.

Choosing a safe vape

Some shops have specific standards and take into account the safety of their customers but off-brand ones may contain vape liquids that are not regulated. Fortunately, users can mitigate the risks by choosing safe products.

Always check the ingredients in the vapes to ensure they do not contain any toxic chemicals like Diacetyl (DA), Vitamin E Acetate, or THC. The vape should also have a good heating chamber made from materials like stainless steel. It should heat up quickly and be easy to clean.

A good vape should also offer multiple temperature settings. Temperature affects how different compounds are released, affecting the taste of the flavors. With different temperature settings, one controls the flavor and intensity of the flavor according to preference. 

Finally, go for authentic battery brands like Orbtronic, Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic, and Efest. Cheaper knockoffs can affect the quality of the vape and make it unsafe. IMR and Hybrid batteries are more efficient and safe. 

Environmental risks

As more people continue to vape, there have been concerns about the long-term impact of vaping on the environment. These challenges have become an essential factor to consider. 

There are two main ways vaping devices can be harmful to the environment. First, they contribute to electronic waste or e-waste- working or broken electrical or electronic equipment that has been discarded. 

Vaping devices can be pre-filled or refillable. Pre-filled vapes can only be used once, which means avid vapers can throw away several devices in a day. When these devices are improperly disposed of, the metals and other chemicals from the batteries leak and pollute the soil and water. Not only that, but the batteries can also lead to fires in landfills. The production of both of these devices can produce carbon emissions, leaving an ecological footprint.

Hence, it is essential to advocate for efficient recycling methods and sustainable solutions affecting the entire vaping process from production to disposal. Some vape companies are focusing more on designing recyclable devices while others are looking to adopt biodegradable materials. 

Vape users are also being educated on responsible ways to dispose of their vapes and some go a step further to upcycle their damaged ones for use in other ways. 

Final thoughts

Although vaping is frequently viewed as a less harmful alternative to smoking, it nonetheless presents various health and environmental hazards that should not be underestimated. Rather, understanding them can largely inform which vaping devices you choose and how you dispose of them. Always remember to prioritize safety.
