6 Astonishing Facts About Vaping You Probably Didn’t Know

The vaping industry has experienced tremendous growth in recent years. The primary reason behind this growth is the widespread campaigns touting vaping as a safer and healthier alternative to traditional nicotine delivery systems. 

Unlike other nicotine delivery systems, vaping doesn’t involve combustion. Therefore, there’s no flame nor smoke production. In vaping, the heat produced vaporizes the vape materials. You then inhale cleaner aerosol vapor through your vaporizer’s mouthpiece. 

Interestingly, there are numerous vaping fun facts to know for aspiring vapers. This article highlights the six astonishing facts about vaping you probably didn’t know.

1. Vaping Devices Come In Many Shapes and Forms

Vaporizers differ fundamentally in design, functionality, and durability. 

First-generation vaporizers are known as cigalikes. Cigalikes, as their name suggests, are e-cigs that look pretty much like the traditional nicotine delivery systems. They’re noted for their simple design, replaceable tanks, and relative affordability. 

Next, after cigalikes came vape pens; vape pens resemble a regular marker pen. They’re slightly bigger than cigalikes but are still light enough to carry around. These gadgets typically come with refillable tanks and more powerful batteries than cigalikes. 

Vape pens gave way to vape mods. Considered third-generation vaporizers, vape mods are modified versions of earlier-generation e-cigs. They feature lower resistance coils, higher battery performance, and an overall superior vaping experience than vape pens and cigalikes. You can now find vape pens specifically designed for nicotine consumption that come with powerful attachments like yocan vape .

Most vape pens also come with temperature control features and an LED display screen. You can use the screen to track variables like the voltage, wattage, number of puffs, battery life, etc. 

The fourth, and arguably the latest-generation, vaporizers are known as pod mods. Pod mods feature a balance of all the fine features you’d expect in a vaporizer, including stylish design, ease of use, and incredible efficiency.

2. The First Vaporizer – Invented In 1927

The vaping culture may have experienced incredible growth over the past couple of years. However, vaping history goes way back. 

The earliest vaporizer was a mechanical butane ignition device invented in 1927 by American scientist Joseph Robinson. 

Robinson dreamed of a device that would make it easier to administer medical compounds. He submitted his patent, which was approved and subsequently published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). 

Robinson’s mechanical butane ignition device became the earliest documented form of the vaporizer. However, the invention was generally poorly received. Coupled with his lack of sufficient funding, Robinson didn’t get very far with his vape device.

3. The Modern Vaporizer – Invented In 2003

After Robinson’s invention failed to take off, numerous inventors came up with various vaporizers over the following decades.

A notable one was Korean veteran Herbert Gilbert, who came up with the blueprint for the modern vaporizer in 1960. But like those who came before him, Herbert’s idea didn’t quite catch on.

It was not until 2003 that Chinese inventor and pharmacist Hon Lik invented the modern vaporizer.

Lik intended for the device to serve as a safer alternative for tobacco users. His primary motivation came from the fact that he had previously lost his father to a lung disease.

4. Vaping Laws Vary

For a concept that was invented as an alternative nicotine delivery system, one would expect vaping to have been mainstreamed in the global pharmaceutical industry. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. 

Vaping remains illegal in numerous countries worldwide. So, it’s recommended to check your local vaping laws before owning or using a vaporizer. 

And while you’re at it, pay attention to what the law says about vaporizers as well as vape materials. That’s especially true for nicotine-containing materials.

5. There’s More to Vape than Tobacco

Initially, most vape juices (also known as vape oils, e-juices, or e-liquids) contained nicotine as one of the primary ingredients. But as vaping gained popularity, e-juice manufacturers responded by experimenting with other herbal extracts. 

Many modern vape oils are not necessarily nicotine-based. You can now vape other medically beneficial extracts. 

Even if you still prefer nicotine-based e-juices, it will interest you to know that e-liquids contain varying amounts of nicotine. That’s in contrast to other delivery systems which contain predetermined nicotine doses.

6. Many Celebrities Are Taking To Vaping

Vaping is increasingly garnering celebrity endorsements from far and wide. American actor Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the most famous celebrities that vape. 

DiCaprio has been spotted vaping in high-profile celebrity events, such as the 2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards. He was also one of the first celebrities to endorse vaping as a lifestyle openly. 

Pop singer Katy Perry is also an outspoken advocate of vaping. Perry has been vaping from as early as 2011. She has also been spotted vaping in high-profile events, including at a Golden Globes event where she was seen sharing her vaporizer with Orlando Bloom. 

Actors Jack Nicholson, Robert Pattison, and Katherine Heigl add to the long list of vape celebrities.
