From October 1st 2021 nicotine vaping products will require a prescription from an Authorised Australian Prescriber. We have you covered.
A lot of vapers are either trying to quit smoking or have successfully jumped from cigarettes to e-cigarettes. The difference? Smoking delivers nicotine by burning tobacco leaves. Vaping delivers nicotine through vapourised liquid. The nicotine is still addictive, and the goal is to kick it entirely with us. Ultimately, as a tool for smoking cessation, vapes can tackle your nicotine cravings and be very effective.
Unlike nicotine patches and gums, vapes give smokers the same satisfying draw, the same feel and taste and heft of a cigarette, but without the carcinogens. That’s the beauty of vapes. The whole process has been designed to mimic a cigarette, with stepped nicotine doses to help reduce your intake. Vaping is all about control: giving you the tools, and the knowledge, to quit successfully.
If you’re just starting out, and you’re looking to quit smoking, we usually recommend closed pod vape (like the alt. battery below). Pod vapes are like pod espresso machines: simply grab a pod, slip it into the battery, and start puffing. The other recommended option is a pen-style vape (like the VAPO Alpha Starter Pen). Vaping pens are refillable with e-liquid, so you can swap flavours and easily adjust the amount of nicotine. Both of these products will give you a familiar mouth-to-lung draw.
Researchers believe vaping could be 95% less harmful than smoking.
Most smokers smoke 50-80% less after switching to vapes.
E-cigarettes contain fewer toxicants than tobacco cigarettes.
Using e-cigarettes to quit is 5 times more effective than going cold turkey.
All vape users want a smooth draw and full flavour, but heavy smokers are usually looking for that nicotine ‘throat hit’. If you smoke a pack of cigarettes daily, you’re considered a heavy smoker. To give yourself the best chances of quitting, stick to Mouth to Lung devices (like the VAPO Alpha Starter Pen below) with a stronger nicotine dose (e.g. 9mg +), then gradually reduce that dose over time.

The transition from cigarettes to vapes isn’t always smooth. Some people find it hard to make the jump. The best thing you can do is gradually incorporate vaping into your everyday smoking routine.
Find a product that feels good and a flavour you enjoy. Work with your doctor to get the nicotine dose right, and learn to draw your vape properly. Rather than quick, hard puffs, really practise that long, soft inhale. Just like a cigarette. Above all, have patience. Quitting smoking is incredibly hard, and it doesn’t always work first time.
