CHANGING VAPE COILS Once you’ve got your package of vape coils from Crafty E-liquids NZ, replacement will take just a few seconds. If yours is a top airflow tank then generally you unscrew its top portion where the drip tip is located; the atomiser coil is attached to the centre. Unscrew the atomiser head and discard it. Screw on the new atomiser head and attach the component to the atomiser. If you have a bottom airflow tank, unscrew the base of the device and remove it. The atomiser coil will be at the centre of the base. Unscrew the coil...

Vapers are rejoicing after the NZ Government has agreed that nicotine e-liquid should be legally available for purchase in New Zealand. The Ministry of Health states that there is "emerging evidence that e‑cigarette use may substantially reduce the burden of disease caused by smoking".

The Government views e-cigarettes and vaping as a great tool to be used by smokers to aid in quitting.

Vaping is a modern trend, but even new vapes have their roots in ancient history. Ancient Egypt is known for its vaping techniques, such as using hot stones to vape herbs.

We’re all familiar with the role cigarettes play in causing cancer, which is why the usage of such products is frowned upon. However, cigarette usage is addictive and breaking free of the addiction is incredibly challenging. Many smokers manage to overcome their addiction by turning to e-cigarettes instead since these still offer a nicotine hit without the damaging effects of tobacco and tar. This method of overcoming, or reducing, a nicotine addiction is even supported by Cancer Research UK, who state that e-cigs ‘help people quit smoking‘. E-cigarettes are a relatively new product, which is why learning how to regulate...

Vaping has been endorsed by health experts after the first long-term study of its effects in ex-smokers. E-cigarettes contain nicotine but not many of the harmful substances produced by smoking tobacco, such as tar or carbon monoxide. However, there has been a debate about exactly how safe their long-term use is. The study, involving 181 smokers or ex-smokers, has been described as "landmark" as it is thought to be the first (or at least one of the first) looking at long-term vaping outcomes in "real world" users. Previous studies of this kind have mainly relied on laboratory equipment, or animal...
