At VapeHQ we recognise that stopping smoking is one of the hardest habits you will try to break. With that added knowledge we strive to find the right product for you and support you on your journey to become a non smoker. 

We recognise that there are a number of quit smoking methods available to you but also recognise that many of these have an extremely high failure rate. There are different reasons for this depending on the method that you are using, for example many people are intolerant to Nicotine patches and Nicotine Gums or sprays have a horrible taste. These methods also do not take into account the mental habit that you have formed over the years and it is for these reasons that vaping has quickly become the number one quit smoking method in the UK, with nearly 3 million people successfully quitting smoking by vaping in the last 3 years.

Understanding what you need

Our starting point is always understanding why you have come to us. When you enter our store we are on a fact finding mission to understand why you want to quit smoking, how many cigarettes you smoke a day and how long you have been smoking for. With vaping there is no best option or “one size fits all” so it is important that we can gather as much information from you as possible to allow us to find the right device to suit your needs. 

Once you have decided on a device the next step is to talk you through our range of E-Liquids. Again there is no best option here, it is our job to guide you to make the correct choice that will effectively support your attempt to quit smoking.

What sets Vaping apart

When you quit smoking using Nicotine replacement therapy or going “cold turkey” you are severely reducing the nicotine that your body craves in one go, a typical pack of cigarettes contains up to 50mg of Nicotine with an average smoker absorbing between 20 and 30mg of that nicotine into their body. Traditional Nicotine replacement therapies such as using Nicotine patches also mean you can not have a cigarette. Vaping is different. 

Vaping allows you a bit more freedom in your attempt to become a non smoker. Firstly we offer a selection of Nicotine levels in our E-Liquids, from Nicotine free up to 20mg, which means that you will not be reducing the nicotine levels that your body craves all in one go. The intent is to first get you away from Cigarettes before beginning to reduce your nicotine levels until you are completely nicotine free and then working on breaking the psychological habit, which evidence shows is actually the hardest part to break. 

The other advantage of vaping is that you can still smoke alongside it and this is a key reason why quitting with a vape is so successful. As a smoker we recognise that everyone has “must have” cigarettes in a day, these are normally first thing in the morning and then after meals. These cigarettes will be the last ones that you give up, once your body has become used to vaping and a new, lower level of nicotine. This gradual change in the nicotine levels that your body is used too will make it much easier to successfully quit smoking altogether. 

There are also psychological habits which form as a smoker that can be equally as challenging to break when you attempt to quit smoking. Vaping replicates many of these habits, such as the repetitive arm movement , a visible exhale, and the feel of the hit on the back of the throat. Being able to replicate these habits means that your journey to being a non-smoker will be a much smoother experience. Vaping also replicates the social aspect of smoking, meaning that when your friends leave the pub for a cigarette you are not left sitting on your own. 

All these advantages when put together make vaping the number one stop smoking tool available in the UK right now.
