Factors that effect e-liquid consumption

Posted on June 22, 2017 by Kiki

Today we’ll talk about the various factors that have an effect on E-liquid consumption .

1. The type of atomizer

Under normal conditions, the mouth-to-lung tanks have a lower rate of e-liquid consumption than sub-ohm tanks, the preinstalled-coil tanks are lower than RBA tanks, and RBA tanks lower than drippers.

This also means that the bigger the vapor clouds you want, the higher the consumption of e-liquid.

Furthermore if you use a direct-to-lung tank, an RBA coil will consume more e-liquid than a pre-installed coil.

2. The resistance

In general, the lower coil resistance the more e-liquid will be used.

For example, the Aspire Nautilus mini has 1.8ohm coil and 1.6ohm coil. If you use the same voltage, the 1.6ohm coil will consume more e-liquid than the 1.8ohm.

Nowadays, most tanks include 2 different coils, one is for flavor, and the other is for vapor. For example, the Aspire Cleito EXO has 0.4ohm and 0.16ohm coils in the package, so if the output is 3.7V for both of the coils, the 0.16ohm coil will use more e-liquid than the 0.4ohm.

This is because if the output voltage is same, and the resistance is lower, the working wattage and heat will be higher, so over a set period of time, the lower resistance coil will evaporate more e-liquid.

3. Vapor

The resistance and wattage are also very important factors for vapor production.

The lower resistance, the higher wattage and heat will lead to bigger vapor production, so more e-liquid will be used.

4. Frequency of use

In general use and ignoring any leaking issues, the more frequently you use, more e-liquid will be used for sure.

If you understand this information, you have become a well-grounded vaper instead of a rookie.

Does taste fatigue happen in vaping?

Posted on June 10, 2017 by Tina

What’s taste fatigue?

Taste Fatigue is a phenomenon whereby a person can no longer taste a particular food because they have eaten too much of it over too long a period of time. Does taste fatigue happen in vaping? The answer is Yes.

Taste fatigue happening in vaping means vapers lose the ability to detect the elements of e-juices like flavoring. Let’s imagine you love the taste of strawberry e-juice. You have vaped it and only it over an extended period of time. One day, you realize “you cannot taste the flavor of this e-juice”, or “the flavor is becoming awful”. Some vapers may suspect that something is wrong with the e-juice or has a bad atomizer? It all tastes like mud, or worse ….. this is taste fatigue.

How does this happen?

Most of us blame this on our tongue. Our tongue plays a role, but it’s actually the olfactory fatigue, also known as odor fatigue or olfactory adaptation. Our sense of smell is the primary way we experience the “flavor” of the e-juice. For example, when we catch a cold and have a blocked nose, the food tastes muted, same thing happens in vaping. As you make the switch from cigarette to electronic cigarette, at some point our sense of taste and smell will improve, but with this increased sensation, you smell and taste more flavor than normal, your olfactory senses will be overloaded, and will shut down, causing olfactory fatigue.

How can we prevent this?

Drink plenty of water while vaping; When you vape, you will feel more thirsty than normal. Vaping locally dehydrates your mouth, throat. If your mouth and throat are dry, you won’t be able to taste/ smell the vapor from the e cig very well. So drink enough water, don’t let your mouth and throat become dehydrated.
Vape some menthol e-juice; Menthol can rouse your taste buds and sense of smell, but the effect is not long lasting.
Stop vaping the same eliquid for a short while. This may help you solve the olfactory fatigue temporarily, but it will not resolve the condition permanently.
Expand your e-juice rotation; As stated above, if you vape one flavor of e-juice for a long period of time, you will develop a tolerance to it, different vapers have different tolerances to flavors, so expand your e-juice rotation,It’s best if you have different flavor types in your rotation,then you won’t develop a tolerance as easily. This is the most efficient way to prevent olfactory fatigue.

Aspire TPD Compliance Update

Posted on May 31, 2017 by Tina

Aspire TPD Compliance Update

Like it or not, the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) is with us and here to stay. The directive was initially issued on 20^th May 2016, but didn’t come into force until 20^th May 2107.Manufacturers and traders were given a one year transition period to change and sell products/stock that didn’t meet the requirements of the TPD, thereafter all products in the market had to be TPD-complaint on or before 20^th May 2107.

Now that deadline has passed, people in the vape industry must take extra care in complying with the TPD regulations. So what have we at Aspire done so far?

We were advised by a TPD expert that after the 2017 deadline all the products must be TPD-complaint, including packaging, labeling, the new limit of 2ml capacity etc. Manufacturers and traders must use the correct packaging according to the country of sale. They are unable to change labels or the stickers as the batch number will not match the sales data supplied to the respective governments. If manufacturers and traders use the wrong TPD compliant packaging, customs in the EU can confiscate the products and destroy them. If the products do make it through customs and are stocked the shops then the local TPD enforcement personnel can also confiscate take the stock and impose fines on the retailers. Therefore manufacturers and traders may only approve sales through the correct channels.

Aspire obviously complied with the TPD procedures and during the one year adjustment period, changed our packaging, and the designs of our products to make them 2ml TPD complaint.Items within our range that were affected, such as the Cleito, the Cleito120, ET-S glass version, the Atlantis, and the Nautilus were all redesigned to comply. We have also registered and received MHRA notification for 113 of our products.

Furthermore, different member states within the EU may have additional requirements when applying the TPD into their own laws; some countries may require extra registration or confirmation under their respective governments. To date, we have received confirmation from UK, Belgium, Italy, Ireland, Holland, Spain and Germany.

We are working closely with our TPD expert to get more new products registered as required.

Stay tuned and check back regularly for further updates.

How to choose a vape suitable for a new vaper?

Posted on May 27, 2017 by Kiki

After recent years of development, vaping has become more and more popular, and vape products are continually developing. However for new vapers, faced with so many new products and developing technology, selecting the right device that suits their needs is proving to be a much more difficult task as the choices become more confusing with each new product release Therefore its vital that they choose wisely.

Here’s a quick helpful guide to selecting the right vape device.

First, the ‘style’. Probably the easiest to use is the ‘pen’ type device

Pen style

For the new vaper, simplicity and ease of use tops the list when it comes to choosing. The pen-style kit works with the touch of a button, no need to adjust wattage or voltage, you just need to fill the tank and press the fire button.

Its also very easy and convenient for a lazy vaper or people with perhaps limited movement in their hands such as the old or infirm.

These products are generally small and extremely portable, you can take in anywhere in purse or pocket.

Recommendation：Aspire K3 kit and PockeX AIO

Smoking cessation

A mouth to lung (mtl) tank

Lots of vapers come to vaping in order to stop smoking, so to mimic their habit initially; it’s wise to choose a mouth-to-lung style tank. This kind of tank has a restricted airflow, similar to the way a cigarette feels. They generally also have great flavor, essential for new vapers.

Due to the restrictive airflow it is able to be used with high nicotine e-liquids to help ‘Kick’ the habit with the usual ‘throat hit’. The mouth-to-lung tank will give the best experience and the feeling will be similar to smoking.

Recommendation：Aspire Nautilus Mini and Nautilus 2

Sub Ohm Tank

After vaping for some time, vapers will usually move on to require bigger ‘clouds’ of vapor and will want to start sub ohm vaping.

There are more and more vapers (especially the young, in their twenties) who want to enjoy the fuller clouds that a sub ohm cloud set up can bring. The sub ohm products now available run in to the hundreds and can be very confusing. The Sub ohm tank is designed to increase the airflow and increased airflow means bigger cloud vapor production. Another thing that will increase vapor production is a higher VG e-liquid. Which is usually also associated with sub ohm vaping. However, people still expect premium flavor as well as getting bigger clouds of vapor.

Recommendation：Aspire Cleito and Cleito120

Single 18650 Box Mod

For (mouth to lung) MTL vapers, a single 18650 mod and its increased flexibility in supporting variable wattage/voltage/TC modes etc. will be good for them, the ease of use, grip, feeling , stability and the whole performance will be the main attraction.

A high-quality mod will be also a cost-efficient choice.

Recommendation：Aspire NX75

Dual 18650s Mod

Different from MTL vapers, the DL (Direct to Lung) vapers might prefer dual 18650s mod which can last a long time for their daily vaping. The higher wattage available will also be necessary for sub ohm tanks such as a RDA or RDTA. The grip, feeling, durability and accuracy of output will be the keys to select a high-wattage mod, and of course the appearance is also very important.

Recommendation： Aspire Archon 150W Mod

Kit

Many new vapers don’t know how to choose tanks and proper mods that match, so the official ‘kits’ will be good for them. Either the color and appearance matching, or appropriate performance, a kit will bring the best experience and convenience to you.

Recommendation：

MTL Kit: Aspire Zelos 50W kit

Sub Ohm Kit: Aspire EVO75 kit

RDA/RTA

At some point, many vapers will start trying building their own coil after vaping for a while to take more control over their preferred vaping experience.

Building coils will not only bring enjoyment to them, but also save some money in buying prebuilt coils.

For these vapers, a easy-to-build and simple RDA or RTA will be what they want.

For this kind of products, Aspire Cleito and Cleito120 RTA will be a very good start to their coil building skills. We also recommend Aspire Quad-Flex RDTA kit, which can be configured as an RDA, Squonker RDA, RDTA and Nautilus X tank. This will be very cost-effective for vapers who want both tank and RDA.

Recommendation：ASPIRE CLEITO RTA and QUAD-FLEX RDTA

Aspire is committed to customer safety and the importance of battery safety in the E-cig Industry

Posted on May 19, 2017 by Kiki

It has long been a concern not only among the reputable manufacturers like Aspire, but also of the authorities such as the FDA on the safety of batteries in the e-cig industry.

So many times have we heard reports of batteries catching fire, causing fires and even exploding in use!

These battery issues can be found in reports on toys, electrical tools, mobile phones, in fact almost anything that requires a rechargeable battery.

Probably the latest battery ‘bandwagon’ for people to jump on recently has been that of the e-cigarette. Reports of e-cigs catching fire in peoples’ pockets and purses, incidents of them catching fire whilst charging, and batteries exploding causing property damage, these reports of end-user incidents have been put down to numerous factors, such as faulty batteries, user misuse or actual fake batteries.

On the 19^th April this year SEVIA USA (of whom Aspire is a founder member) attended a seminar that was held to address these battery issues and to find ways to regulate the battery industry. The FDA itself is also in the process of compiling rules and regulations concerning batteries. Though there are not currently any standing rules or regulations concerning batteries for the E-cig industry, Aspire is obviously looking forward to reasonable rules and regulations in this industry for the sake of, and to ensure the safety of its customers.

The transcript of the seminar can be found here:
