Have you ever thought about how important it is to keep your clearomizer clean? If not, maybe it's time you did – after all, it's the part of your vape that you put in your mouth dozens of times a day.

Keeping your tank clean is a simple way to ensure you're getting the best flavor and performance out of your vaporizer, and it's really not that difficult. Let's look at a few simple actions you can take to ensure you're getting the cleanest, most satisfying vape possible.

One of the benefits of open-system vaping hardware is that you can re-use your tank or pod and coil many times over, saving money compared to closed-system pods that have to be thrown away every time they're empty. Still, you'll eventually reach a point when it's time to retire your old coil and reach for a new one...

Although the topic has died down after reaching a crescendo in the fall of 2019, reports are still trickling in of people who've contracted a lung illness, and of some who've even died, as a result of vaping. Not only is this rightly terrifying, it begs the question: if vaping has been around for more than a decade, why is it only now that we're getting all of these reports about severe lung disease and sudden death?

The answer is actually fairly simple, though unfortunately it's not one that's often accurately reported by major media sources...

If you haven't heard by now, earlier this month the federal Department of Health and Human Services announced a nationwide ban on virtually all pre-filled vape pods. The ban takes effect February 1, and will likely affect millions of users of closed-system vapor devices.

With all of the attention vaping has attracted over the course of the last year, it may seem to some like the practice has blossomed virtually overnight.

If you’ve been following the news cycle much over the last few weeks, it’s natural to be concerned about the future of vaping as we know it. But before panicking, let’s look at the issue in depth and get up to speed...

Smok probably deserves credit for introducing the world to sub-ohm clearomizers as we know them today. When the TFV-4, first in the TFV series, came out back in 2015, it shattered the vaping community's notions about what was possible with a disposable-coil tank. The flavor and vapor production were miles ahead of anything else on the market at that time, offering for the first time a no-fuss vape that could compete with hand-built coils. While they've continued to push the envelope with the TFV-8 and TFV-12 models, competitors have also stepped up.

Dedicated vapers are probably familiar by now with the Orion series of pod mods from Lost Vape. Even if you've never vaped one, you know they ushered in a new era of high-performance, adjustable power pod mods that have spawned countless imitations.

Seattle's mayor who, following the blanket vaping ban in San Francisco, says her city should follow suit. Predictably, there's already a backlash from Seattle vape shop owners, who point out the hypocrisy in attacking vaping while doing nothing to rein in smoking, a far deadlier practice.

Continuing the trend of pod systems getting ever smaller, the DRAG NANO Pod System by Voopoo takes a big step down (up?) in terms of pushing portability.  We get it: over the last year we've been buried under an avalanche of new pod systems. The big question is: how does this match up? As with many devices, it really depends on what you’re looking for, but right off the bat, this is aimed at vapers that are looking for tighter Mouth-to-Lung vapes, salt nic compatible devices, and something that excels as an on-the-go device.

Experienced vapers will be familiar with iJoy, a manufacturer known for innovative products ranging from smaller pod systems like the IVPC to more advanced mod systems like the Diamond Mini or Shogun. Their latest offering is the Mercury 12 AIO Pod System, which we're going to take a look at today. 

The FDA last week issued new guidelines in an attempt to help e-cig suppliers comply with existing law. We'll note here that while no vapor products are officially banned in the US, the number of products that legally exist is also zero, leaving manufacturers in a perpetual state of limbo.

The latest brand to challenge the Orion is Sense. Their Orbit TF Pod System is a companion to the base Orbit, which behaves more like a traditional pod and shares some key components. For this review, we’ll focus on the Orbit TF, because it adds extra features that we think make it a standout new offering. Let’s dive in!

When it comes to smaller pod systems, the Smok Novo Pod Mod is high on the list as one of the most accessible devices to use. It’s arguably an easier-to-use device than similar pod systems such as Aspire’s Breeze 2 or Smok’s Infinex because it relies on pre-filled pods that you can pick up and snap into place whenever your juice runs out.

We've long saluted efforts in Great Britain to move people away from smoking along with the use of vapor products as a helpful transition. We've recently learned that food banks are giving away e-cigarettes to smokers that frequent them, and we couldn't approve more. The English estimate that the average Briton smoker could save 70 pounds (about $90) every week by switching. That's a significant addition to a weekly food budget that could free low-income people from the need to visit food banks, benefits of vaping over smoking to one's health aside.

One of our favorite high-end liquid suppliers, Jam Monster E-Liquid, is back at it with a line of jamtastic fruity blends, the Fruit Monster. In this unique trio of wild flavors, Jam Monster sets out on an ambitious journey to pack as many different flavors into one bottle of liquid as is humanly possible.

Summertime is upon us, which means it’s time to grab your swim trunks, head to the beach, and fill your tank with an extraordinary fruit vape: Ruby by Boho Vape. Pop on your ruby slippers and click them three times, then prepare for a world of tropical wonder.  

Some examples of popular Chinese vape hardware brands include Smok, Vaporesso, KangerTech, Aspire, Sigelei, Joyetech, and Innokin. Think about how commonplace the brand Smok has become in the popular American vaping market, just to name one of the most prominent examples. These brands are all affected by the imposed tariffs and it has a ripple effect through an industry and the consumer.

Colorado, which is looking to impose a 62 percent tax on the wholesale price of vapor products. This is significantly higher than the 40 percent Pennsylvania imposed (and later overturned) a couple years ago, though even that measure was enough to cripple the local vapor industry. Because it's coupled with a less-significant tax hike on tobacco products (22 percent), vapor advocates will have a hard time arguing to the public against this one. The measure cleared the state legislature and can no be put before voters.

Pod systems are everywhere these days, and with good reason. They’re small, easy to use, and efficient vapor delivery systems. In order to rise above the competition, new pod systems have to have a real zest, a real zip, a real … zeal for quality vaping!

Big Tobacco is morphing into Big Vape. The linked piece shows how Marlboro parent Altria's massive $13 billion investment in cigalike giant Juul positions both companies to take advantage of a continuing decline in the demand for combustible tobacco products amidst the rise of vaping.

For a fresh, summertime fruity flavor, today we’re going to explore one of the juiciest flavors from Humble Juice Co, Berry Blow Doe e-liquid. Humble is one of the more well respected brands of e-liquids, and this is one of their most popular flavors. Vapers love it so much they're now offering a new twin pack that offers more juice for your buck, doubling up on 60 ml gorilla bottles at a special reduced price. Sleek black packaging also replaces the old clear bottles, lending a more refined look.  

Longtime vapers will recognize SmokTech as an industry pioneer: their award-winning TFV series of clearomizers set the bar by which modern sub-ohm tanks are measured. Their selection of budget-priced, high-performance mods is unmatched. Today, we're looking at an updated version of the wildly popular Alien mod, now renamed the RHA.

These days, it seems pretty everyone is all-in on the entry-level pod mod trend. Even the venerable elder statesman of advanced vaping, KangerTech, has finally thrown their hat into the ring (check out our review of their new Surf pod). That's all well and good, but where does that leave advanced vapers who demand more power, better draws, and stronger cloud production from their device?

Springtime has sprung, and as we flip the calendars over to May that means your summer vacation is likely fast approaching. While some people daydream about daiquiris on a sandy beach, we vapers envision contentedly puffing away on an exotic tropical e-liquid with the waves crashing in front of us. Everyone loves going on vacation, and most likely you're going to want to make sure your vape gear can travel with you.

For all the cloud chasers out there hungry for the next generation in massive sub-ohm tanks, the current installment of Smok's award-winning line isn’t just a beast, it’s the beast king! The Smok TFV12 is an upgrade from the TFV4 and 8 series, offering even more airflow, more cloud-blasting capability, and more options than just about any other sub-ohm clearomizer on the market today.

Things keep looking up in India, where the nation's trade ministry says there's no legal basis for banning the import of vapor products. Anti-vapor advocates in the country had been pushing hard for a complete ban on vaping nationwide, but they've run into a number of hurdles in recent months that have delayed or decreased the likelihood of implementation of a ban.

The state of New York is looking to ban all nicotine products, including vapor liquids and devices, from pharmacies. Recently, similar local proposals were enacted in the state capital, Albany and New York City, and now some legislators in the state are pushing for a statewide ban.

Vaping can bring people together in so many special ways. More and more happy couples, it seems, are uniting around their vape lifestyles. With a rise in vaping among young people as the preferred alternative to burning plants, we've seen a new trend at weddings: some newlyweds have begun to center their weddings and wedding photos around plumes of vapor.

After learning about how pod mods work, we've come to the fun part: picking out your favorite flavors and an ideal nicotine level. Where to start? Well, here’s a rundown of flavor categories and a quick guide to nicotine strength (more on that latter point here).

This study, that reports 45% of Americans (mistakenly) believe vaping is as harmful as smoking. Add in another 10% who believe vaping is actually worse than smoking, and more than half of the country's adult population currently fails to recognize the true risk associated with smoking. This has scientists concerned, as adults who fail to grasp that vaping is less harmful than continuing to smoke are unlikely to switch from cigarettes to vapor products.

Protesters took to the streets in New York as the state’s legislative bodies voted to to ban vaping flavors. The New York State Assembly and Senate approved a near-complete flavor ban in early March (with possible carve-outs for tobacco and menthol flavors), which prompted advocates to march and hold signs on the streets of Buffalo to express their outrage.
