What is an electronic cigarette?
As the name suggests, electronic cigarette is a generic term for vapes and heated cigarettes that use electricity to heat tobacco for inhalation. However, the term "e-cigarette" is not the same as the term "IQOS" or other heated cigarettes, and vapes have completely different uses and purposes, and the structure of the product itself is different as well.
Currently, the type of e-cigarette widely known in Japan is a completely new concept called a heated cigarette or next-generation cigarette, such as IQOS. Heated cigarettes contain nicotine because they heat tobacco leaves. Therefore, switching from paper cigarettes to heated cigarettes does not mean that you have succeeded in "quitting smoking".
The type of electronic cigarette introduced here is a "vape. A vape is a device (starter kit) in which a flavored "liquid" is added and heated electrically to produce a vapor that is inhaled and enjoyed. As of 2021, the Japanese public has become even more negative about cigarettes and smoking, with the increase in cigarette taxes and the passage of the Passive Smoking Prevention Law. This is a natural decision considering the "harm" that cigarettes do to health.
The most important feature of a vape is the ability to "simulate smoking" by inhaling water vapor. In addition, vape liquids sold in Japan do not contain nicotine or tar and are considered harmless to health. For this reason, more and more people are using vape as an aid in quitting smoking or reducing smoking.

If you are new to electronic cigarettes (vape), you may find it difficult to choose the right starter kit for you from a wide variety of products. This is because there are many different types of vape products, ranging in price from 1,000 yen to more than 10,000 yen, and in price from easy to high-spec.
A common attitude among vape beginners is "Let's just buy a cheap vape and try it out for the time being! This is not a mistake. This is not wrong, but as mentioned above, there are many different types of vapes, ranging from easy vapes to high-spec vapes. Naturally, cheap and easy vapes are inferior to high-spec vapes in every way! In the end, many vape beginners get tired of vaping and say, "This isn't what I expected from a vape..." or "It's not as good as I expected.
But that is because they have not experienced a highly functional and high-spec vape!There are many highly functional vape starter kits available for 2,000 yen to 5,000 yen or less, even if they are not expensive vape kits that cost more than 10,000 yen.

After purchasing a vape for the first time, even vape beginners will want to try a more serious disposable vape starter kit.
When you actually try using a vape starter kit, you will discover your personal viewpoint and the points you consider important, such as "Not enough smoke," "I am concerned about the cost," "Refilling the liquid is a hassle," and so on. Vape starter kits vary widely from model to model, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Therefore, the important thing in choosing a starter kit is to clarify "what you want.
For example, a small model that is easy to carry when you go out, a high-power model that allows you to enjoy both flavor and smoke volume at home, a model with a large liquid tank capacity, etc. Thinking about what you will use it for and where you will use it when you buy a new one will make it easier to choose. First of all, you should ask yourself, "When will I use it? Where will you use it? How will you use it? and how you will use it.
