The Differences in Vaping Compared to Smoking a Pre-Roll

Vaping and smoking a pre-roll are not the same! If you don’t vape or want to try vaping for your first time, here are some pointers as to what vaping is and how it compares to smoking a pre-roll.

You’ve probably seen plenty of people outside with their vape pens or other devices blowing smoke rings—or maybe even smoke dragons! Maybe you’re wondering more about vaping and what you need to know to get in the vape game.

Let’s take a few minutes and give a quick rundown of the need-to-know details about the differences between vaping and smoking.

Vaping—What is it?

Vaping (short for vaporizing) is a process where a vaping device uses an atomizer coil to produce smoke from e-liquid, also referred to as vape juice.

The atomizer coil heats the liquid and vaporizes it into a gas (smoke) that you can then inhale. The vaporizer device is commonly known as a vape or vape pen.

E-liquids or vape juice come in a wide variety of flavors and types. There are vape juices that are derived from the cannabis plant that contain a combination of CBD and/or THC. Selecting different flavors for your vaping experience is a huge vape benefit.

Is Vaping Like Smoking?

There are very clear differences between vaping and smoking and pre-roll. Both vaping and smoking a pre-roll involve the inhalation of smoke, but vaping is notably different from smoking.

Vape devices heat liquid and do not burn tobacco. Instead, your vape pen uses cannabis, and rather than burning it, it vaporizes the cannabis into smoke.

What Do You Need to Vape?

Getting started with vaping is pretty simple. You don’t need to do any heavy lifting to figure out how to vape.

Simply visit your favorite brick-and-mortar or online vape specialty store. Select a device style that complements your lifestyle. Most beginning vape users select a pod device, for these vape devices are simple to use. Puff and you’ll activate the heating element.

Vape pens and vape pod mods are also popular vape devices. As your experience with vaping grows, you may want to opt for one of these options to regulate temperature, cannabis strength, flavor strength, and battery life.

Custom vape devices are a big crowd pleaser — choose your favorite designs to complement your moods or the season. Choosing your own devices is another notable difference between vaping and smoking a pre-roll. Vaping allows you to smoke in style, rocking your favorite custom designs that a pre-roll just can’t offer.

Next comes the selection of vape liquid—one of the ultimate vaping benefits. Vape pods and cartridges are available in every flavor imaginable — from frozen lime drop to peach pit, the vape juice flavors on the market are almost endless!

More Vape Benefits & Pointers

Once you have your vape starter kit, and you’ve selected your favorite vape juice flavors with some new ones to try out, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a vape master.

A few extra pointers when it comes to vaping:

When it comes to battery life, be sure to use the charging cord that comes with your vape kit to maintain the strongest charge. Also, try to avoid exposing your vape device to direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain the battery.

Use temperature controls to adjust your vape experience. Choose a temperature limit on your controllable vape devices (pens and pod mods) to keep the coil from overheating. The most common temperature controls fall between the range of 390°F to 480°F. Work with your device to find the most desirable level for vape smoke production.

Learn all about vape coils. Vape coils are the heating element that vaporizes e-liquids into smoke vapors. The better the coil, the better the smoke. Replacing vape coils is a bit of a science, so take a few minutes to read up on atomizer coils and their metal properties if you want to become a vape master.

There are clear differences between vaping and smoking a pre-roll, some obvious, some not as clear. However, it is easy to see that some of the greatest vape benefits are their customizable options and flavors!
