How should beginners choose their first vape setup? Let’s look at five key points to quickly narrow down the most suitable devices for us.
Key Point One Determine whether you will use temperature control or wattage mode for vaping. Temperature control mode is really not recommended for beginners. This is not to say that temperature control is overly complicated, but it requires higher specifications from the device, far exceeding those needed for wattage mode, and it also has higher demands on the heating wire. (For specific differences between temperature control and wattage, reply with "temperature control wattage" to watch.) Therefore, if you do not prioritize temperature control as your daily mode, it is recommended to purchase a semi-mechanical box or a regular mainstream device without needing to buy overly expensive equipment.
Key Point Two
Batteries: we need to consider not only the number of batteries but also the installation method.
The number of batteries refers to how many batteries can fit inside the device. Is it a single battery that can only accommodate one battery, or does it have two, three, or four? What size are the batteries: 18650, 20700, 21700, or 28650, etc.? If you are using a mouth-to-lung atomizer, a single 18650 battery will suffice, ensuring both portability and durability. However, if you are using a direct lung mode and vaping heavily, it is recommended to use a dual 18650 setup, which is portable and can last most of the day. For heavy users, a quad 18650 or dual 20700 device will basically eliminate battery concerns.
The installation method refers to whether the batteries are conventional removable lithium batteries, such as 18650, 20700, 21700, or 28650, or if they are built-in non-removable batteries. In simple terms, unless you have a particular fondness for the appearance of devices with built-in batteries, it is better to choose conventional batteries for easier maintenance and care in the future.
Key Point Three
Chipset: try to choose products from reliable manufacturers. As for the types of chipsets and the best manufacturers, there’s no need to elaborate here. For the vast majority of users, as long as the chipset is not falsely advertised, the differences in wattage mode will not be significant. There’s no need to obsess over a specific brand of chipset, thinking that not buying it means being scammed, and so on. However, within a certain price range, you get what you pay for; after all, materials like solid wood and carbon fiber have high added value and aesthetic value.
Key Point Four
Functionality: I believe that most friends use wattage mode for daily use, and don’t think that those flashy features provide any extraordinary experience. The simpler the device, the more you will use it in the future. Features like curve adjustment, compensation, and "dog mode" become irrelevant over time; many friends eventually realize that just setting a wattage is sufficient. So don’t think that devices with more features are better; a good device is one that performs its primary function well. Devices overloaded with features are more prone to malfunction, and no matter how expensive they are, they can become a hassle once purchased.
Key Point Five
Most importantly! Be sure to choose a device whose appearance you are 100% satisfied with! This is especially important. Rest assured, in the world of vaping devices, there are plenty of options. If you don’t like the look of a device, just skip it; there are many good devices available, so don’t follow trends! It’s also recommended to choose designs that are not overly eccentric; the more stimulating the design, the easier it is to tire of aesthetically, while more moderate designs are easier to pair with atomizers.
