E-cigarettes are an increasingly popular alternative to tobacco in Switzerland. This guide explains the essentials to get started without getting lost.
Understanding how it works
An e-cigarette heats an e-liquid using a heating element to produce a vapor that is inhaled. There is no combustion, therefore no smoke: this is called vaping.
Choosing your first equipment
To start, a pod or a simple kit is ideal: compact, easy to recharge and to use on a daily basis.
- Pod : the simplest, perfect for indirect inhalation (like a cigarette).
- Complete kit : more settings and autonomy as you progress.
Choosing your e-liquid
Two factors matter: flavor and nicotine level. See our guide dedicated to nicotine levels to get it right from the start.
Our advice
Start with a flavor you enjoy and a dosage that matches your previous consumption. Don't hesitate to ask for advice in store.
