But there are still situations where using an e-cigarette in public is frowned upon. So what can you do? Have you ever tried stealth vaping?<\/em><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like cloud-chasing, stealth vaping is another technique used by vapers. However, it\u2019s actually the complete opposite. While cloud-chasers run setups with a low resistance to produce the thickest and biggest clouds imaginable, stealth vapers aim to vape more discreetly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1107\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/image-factory\/70d2df029091371ab7973775b3672e91c31cf08a~565x849@2x\/images\/products\/co6xiTyFzCVP5GsilppuzsGPrR9mRu6kDfnoDtcb.jpg\" alt=\"man with custom box mode vape device vaping an electronic cigarette outdoor at beautiful place outdoors | electric tobacconist UK\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why Stealth Vape?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stealth vaping isn\u2019t about seeing if you can get away with using an e-cigarette in places where you shouldn\u2019t. While vaping in public isn\u2019t prohibited by law, certain establishments will ask you to stop if they catch you blowing a cloud of vapour in the corner of the room. Instead, stealth vaping is concerned with minimising disruption to the people around you, while still respecting your right to use an e-cigarette. So, why stealth vape?<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Public opinion:<\/strong> Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/457102\/Ecigarettes_an_evidence_update_A_report_commissioned_by_Public_Health_England_FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>public health authorities<\/strong><\/a> backing e-cigarettes as a healthier alternative to smoking, there\u2019s still a division in public opinion, with much of the public buying into media stories that <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/science\/2016\/03\/12\/e-cigarettes-are-no-safer-than-smoking-tobacco-scientists-warn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">e-cigarettes are unsafe<\/a><\/strong> and a threat. These individuals will likely disapprove if they see you blowing vapour clouds and, while you\u2019re doing nothing wrong, if you want to avoid altercations with misinformed members of the public, stealth vaping is the way to go.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid temptation:<\/strong> With increased bans of vaping in public places like <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/newsbeat\/article\/33079473\/so-where-can-you-still-vape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pubs and train stations<\/a><\/strong>, if you want to vape in peace, you\u2019ll have to do it surrounded by a cloud of cigarette smoke. If you\u2019ve only recently swapped smoking for an e-cigarette, it\u2019s vital that you avoid temptation. Sharing your vaping space with current smokers means you\u2019ll inhale second-hand smoke, conflicting with the benefits of vaping. If you\u2019re with friends, you may feel compelled to bow down to peer pressure and spark one up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Respect:<\/strong> In places such as restaurants, vaping can be distracting. If you can vape without anyone noticing, you can still get your nicotine hit without spoiling the experience for yourself or anyone else.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flimsy restrictions:<\/strong> The justification for many bans on e-cigs is the idea that \u201can e-cigarette resembles a cigarette\u201d. With an increasing amount of devices far from resembling a traditional cigarette, it\u2019s a far stretch to ban them, especially when they emit a harmless and largely odourless vapour. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vaping360.com\/stealth-vaping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stealth vaping<\/a><\/strong> resolves these issues, allowing you to vape without judgement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Where Can You Stealth Vape?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This can be tricky to negotiate. While it\u2019s difficult to deny yourself a few puffs of your e-cigarette, there are places where vaping is strictly prohibited and you could risk more than a polite request to stop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While many workplaces prohibit vaping without considering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhf.org.uk\/news-from-the-bhf\/news-archive\/2016\/september\/e-cigarette-use-linked-to-successful-attempts-to-quit-smoking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>wealth of evidence<\/strong><\/a> published by reputable scientists and health bodies, a recent report released by Public Health England actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthandsafetyatwork.com\/health\/phe-ecigarette-guidance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>encourages employers<\/strong><\/a> to implement a vaping policy. They realise that forcing those looking to quit to share a space with smokers could have a detrimental effect. If a nicotine hit helps you through a stressful day, how can it be anything but beneficial for both you and your employer? But in the meantime, as long as you aren\u2019t compromising your career, stealth vaping is an option.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vaping is prohibited on most airlines, so even if you take all precautions to exhale absolutely zero vapour, you could still risk getting into trouble if you\u2019re caught. While going without nicotine can be hard, especially on long flights, it\u2019s not unheard of for people to be fined or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spectator.co.uk\/2014\/02\/what-i-learned-in-a-qatari-jail-cell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>even jailed<\/strong><\/a> for using their e-cigarette, especially in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How to Stealth Vape with Your E-Cigarette<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So if you\u2019re looking to vape discreetly, how do you go about doing it?<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Use the Right E-Cigarette<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s important to have the right setup for stealth vaping. E-cig starter kits typically produce less vapour than their more advanced counterparts, simply because they aren\u2019t as powerful. To stealth vape effectively, though, you\u2019ll be better off investing in a more advanced <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/box-mods-c37\">e-cigarette<\/a><\/strong>. While box mods are typically associated with those looking to produce large clouds, there\u2019s no reason why they can\u2019t be used to stealth vape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alternatively, a device with a small battery can provide a powerful throat hit and taste without creating large clouds of vapour. The draw activated <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/eleaf-icare-mini-starter-kit-p1610\">Eleaf iCare Mini<\/a><\/strong> e-cigarette has just a 350mAh battery, making it portable and discreet. However, it also outputs up to 15 watts of power, so you can still benefit from rich flavour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">E-cigarettes set up with a low resistance coil will produce more vapour, so it\u2019s best to use a high resistance coil (you won\u2019t be able to stealth vape if your device is set up for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/blog\/2016\/09\/best-e-cig-starter-kit-in-the-uk\/\">sub-Ohm vaping<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stealth Vaping Techniques<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Blowing down your shirt:<\/strong> This technique simply involves inhaling, then blowing the vapour down your shirt. Your clothes will absorb the majority of the vapour, meaning you\u2019ll actually exhale less vapour. However, be careful not to take a hard draw, as the vapour may billow back out. An alternative is to blow into a napkin, which will absorb the vapour. However, it may not always be practical to do this in public, especially if you vape a lot during the day, so it\u2019s wise to master a different technique.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Holding in the vapour:<\/strong> This involves inhaling, and rather than immediately exhaling, you hold in the vapour for longer. Then, exhale through your nose. This dilutes the vapour with oxygen, meaning you\u2019ll exhale very little to no vapour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Quick Word on E-Liquids<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">E-liquids are primarily made up of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG). The majority of e-liquids are composed of equal amounts of both. However, e-liquids with a higher PG ratio will produce less vapour and give you a better throat hit, so leaning towards a suitable e-liquid, in combination with using these techniques, will help you vape like a stealth ninja.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out our range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrictobacconist.co.uk\/vape-pens-c8\">e-cigarettes<\/a> at The Electric Tobacconist and get free despatch when you spend \u00a310 or more!<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vaping has come a long way in recent years and is slowly becoming more acceptable as a safer alternative to smoking.
