Beginner’s Vape Guide
# Beginner’s Vape Guide – Start Your Journey the Right Way
New to vaping? Thinking about switching from disposables? This simple guide by **Trendy Vapes Milton Keynes** will walk you through everything you need to know to get started with refillable vapes.
---
### 🚭 Why Make the Switch from Disposables?
Disposables are being **banned in the UK** — and they’re not ideal for long-term use.
Here’s why many people are switching:
- ✅ Cheaper to run
- ✅ Better performance & battery life
- ✅ More flavour and nicotine options
- ✅ Less waste = more eco-friendly

### 🧰 What You’ll Need to Start Vaping
To begin with a refillable kit, you need:
1. **A vape kit** – Pod or starter kit recommended
2. **E-liquid** – Choose your flavour and nicotine strength
3. **Replacement coils/pods** – Needed every 1–2 weeks
4. (Optional) **Nicotine shots** – If using shortfill e-liquids

### 🔍 Choosing the Right Vape Kit
For new vapers, we recommend:
- **Pod Kits** – Compact, easy to use, low maintenance
e.g. *Uwell Caliburn, Vaporesso XROS*
- **Starter Kits** – Slightly more power and flexibility
e.g. *Voopoo Argus, SMOK Nord*
Avoid sub-ohm kits if you’re just starting out.

### 💨 Picking the Right Nicotine Strength
Use this guide to choose:
| Cigarette Usage | Suggested Nicotine |
|------------------------|--------------------|
| 1–5 a day | 5–10mg (low) |
| 5–15 a day | 10–15mg (medium) |
| 15+ a day | 18–20mg (high) |
We recommend **nicotine salts** for new vapers – smoother throat hit and fast relief.

### 💧 Choosing Your E-Liquid Type
- **Nic Salts** – Smooth, high strength, ideal for cravings
- **Freebase 10ml** – Stronger throat hit
- **Shortfills** – Larger bottles, add your own nicotine (great value)
