How Do I Get Started Vaping?

If you're thinking about switching from smoking or just exploring vaping for the first time, you're not alone. Many adults in Dubai and the UAE are choosing vaping as a cleaner alternative to traditional cigarettes. This guide will help you understand the basics and get started with confidence.

What is Vaping?​

Vaping is the act of inhaling vapour produced by an electronic device called a vape or e-cigarette. These devices heat a liquid, known as e-liquid or vape juice, which usually contains nicotine, flavouring, and a base like propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin.

Choosing the Right Device​

There are different types of vape devices:

  • Disposable Vapes: Pre-filled and ready to use. No refilling or charging needed. Great for beginners.
  • Pod Systems: Small, refillable or pre-filled pods with better battery life. Ideal for daily use.
  • Vape Mods: Larger devices with customizable settings. Suitable for experienced users.
In Dubai, many new vapers start with disposable vapes or pod systems from trusted brands like Vaporesso, MYLE, or Tugboat.

Picking Your E-Liquid​

Vape juice comes in different nicotine strengths and flavors. For those moving away from smoking, nicotine salt e-liquids are smoother and absorb faster. Common strengths include 20mg and 50mg. Start with a flavor you enjoy—fruit, mint, or tobacco are common favorites.

How to Use a Vape​

  1. Charge your device (if rechargeable).
  2. Insert a pod or fill the tank with e-liquid.
  3. Wait a few minutes so the coil absorbs the juice.
  4. Inhale gently from the mouthpiece.
  5. Adjust airflow (if available) for a tighter or looser draw.

Safety and Legal Tips​

  • Always buy ESMA-approved products in the UAE.
  • Avoid counterfeit or low-quality vapes.
  • Store e-liquids away from heat and children.
  • Dispose of used devices responsibly.

Where to Buy Vapes in Dubai​

Look for reliable, ESMA-certified vape shops in Dubai, either local stores or online vape shops offering same-day delivery. Sites like VaporInDubai list genuine products from major brands and provide customer support for beginners.

FAQs​

Is vaping safer than smoking? Vaping eliminates tar and many harmful chemicals found in cigarettes. While not risk-free, it's considered a cleaner alternative.

How do I know which nicotine strength to choose? If you smoked regularly, start with 20mg or 50mg. Light smokers may prefer lower strengths like 10mg.

Can I vape in public in Dubai? Vaping is allowed in some public areas but always check signage and local rules.

Do I need a prescription to buy vapes in the UAE? No. Adults can legally purchase ESMA-approved vaping products.

Final Thoughts​

Getting started with vaping doesn’t have to be confusing. Stick with trusted brands, choose the right device, and make sure you understand how to use it properly. Always buy from authorized sellers to ensure safety and quality.

How Do I Get Started Vaping?

Getting started with vaping can seem a little overwhelming, but it’s actually pretty simple once you know the basics. Here’s a quick guide to help you start:

  1. Choose Your Device:
    If you're new, start with something simple like a pod system or disposable vape. They're easy to use, low maintenance, and perfect for beginners.

  2. Pick Your E-liquid or Pod:
    You’ll find options with or without nicotine, in a variety of flavors. If you're switching from cigarettes, you might prefer a nicotine salt e-liquid (usually smoother and stronger).

  3. Know the Components:
    Most vapes have a battery and a cartridge or pod that holds the e-liquid. Disposable vapes come pre-filled and ready to use.

  4. Start Slow:
    Take short, gentle puffs—not like a cigarette drag. Give yourself time to adjust and find what works best for you.

  5. Stay Informed:
    Learn how to care for your device (if reusable), store e-liquids safely, and understand nicotine strengths. Visit trusted vape shops or forums to ask questions and get advice.

  6. Check Local Regulations:
    Make sure you're of legal age and aware of the vaping laws in your area.
