A Beginner’s Guide to Vaping: Everything You Need To Know

Are you considering giving up smoking? Sick of the increasing cost of cigarettes? Just taken the plunge and are getting to grips with your vape starter kit? Unsure what vaping has to offer? If the answer to any of these is yes, please read on while I look to give you all the information about vaping, the basics, the devices, and different e-liquids available and advancement onto more complicated vape machines. With these facts, you can plan your vaping journey or make the important decision to show smoking the door.

The Vaping Basics

The majority of vape devices use a tank system filled with e-liquid. Inside the tank is a wick with a cotton core that soaks up the liquid; when heat is applied via power from an internal battery, the liquid is turned into a vapour. This basic principle remains the same for all vape devices, but with subtle differences with the more advanced machines. E-liquid, vapour juice or vape juice are all names for the liquid used in vape devices, and it is a combination of three or four components. These are –

  • Propylene Glycol – an organic food and medicine ingredient.
  • Vegetable Glycerin – is a clear liquid made from plant oils.
  • Food-based flavourings – these are the food industry staples.

The fourth and possibly most important element is nicotine; more commonly, this is pre-mixed into a complete and ready to use e-liquid. There are possibilities further in a vaper’s career to buy e-liquid minus the nicotine, referred to as shortfill e-liquid; the vaper then adds their required number of nicotine portions called the shots.

The Different Vaping Devices

Vaping devices are fairly simple beasts; you fill them, charge them up and use them, there are some bells and whistles on more advanced machines, but the process essentially remains the same. The most basic vape device and a great starting point for the new vaper is the disposable vape pen or pod, already pre-filled with e-liquid and charged with enough power to vape, the liquid in the tank is used and then disposed of. They are easy to use and give the beginner a taste of what vaping has to offer; they’re also fairly cheap, so trying vaping isn’t expensive. From there, vapers can move onto refillable and rechargeable devices such as vape pens or one of the full starter kits most suppliers offer, which are a great idea.

Vaping Advancements

Having vaped for a while, got used to their starting vape device, and tried a number of the vast range of tasty e-liquid flavours, it may be time to move on to something more advanced. Vape devices with adjustable power packs and variable wattage are an option, as is a step up to the latest in vape device design, the vape pod. Vape pods swap the traditional tank design for a switchable pod; they are refillable and easily enable the vaper to switch between different e-liquid flavours. Once the coil is finished, the pod is swapped for a new one, rather than changing the coil as needed in a normal tank designed vape.

So, there are the vaping basics. I hope with this new information; you can plan your vaping journey. I was brought a basic starter kit over six years ago and haven’t looked back, give vaping a try today!

Earnity’s Dan Schatt and Domenic Carosa on Becoming a Successful Crypto Investor

Today’s blog discusses tips on how investors can be successful when investing in cryptocurrency, a topic that Dan Schatt and Domenic Carosa, Earnity’s co-founders, are very familiar with.

People can invest in cryptocurrency both for diversification purposes as well as to increase their wealth overall. As Dan Schatt and Domenic Carosa point out, there are several advantages to investing in cryptocurrency, such as:

To diversify investment portfolio: Cryptocurrency has the potential to reduce the volatility of returns of an investor’s portfolio of assets since the value of cryptocurrency is not necessarily correlated with the values of other assets such as stocks or bonds. This means that investors could possibly reduce the overall amount of risk associated with a given portfolio’s expected return by adding uncorrelated assets such as cryptocurrency.

To earn money: Cryptocurrency is a good way for investors to earn more online if they manage their own account or use Account Management Services. They can also find trading signals on various social media platforms where other traders offer them free of charge.

To save money:  Investors can also invest in cryptocurrency and hold it for an extended period if they think the value will appreciate over time. For example, Bitcoin was worth less than $0.01 in March 2010 but was worth over $4,000 per coin in April 2017.

To protect wealth:  Cryptocurrency has since become a safe haven for many investors. Considering that cryptocurrencies are free from the authority of any single government, many people believe that investing in cryptocurrency is a way to protect one’s wealth. In addition, since the total amount of and future growth rate of most crypto is known in advance, there is no inflation risk associated with it, in contrast to a fiat currency that can be “printed” by the national governments.

Watch this space for more investment information and tips from Dan Schatt, Domenic Carosa, and the rest of the Earnity team.

Dan Schatt and Domenic Carosa’s New DeFi Firm Earnity is Paving the Way to Bring Crypto to More Users

In the past years, people have started seeing the potential of cryptocurrencies. As a result, many are becoming interested in creating their digital portfolios, especially in the wake of web3, NFTs, and decentralized finance (DeFi). However, they are hindered by the thought of going through complex steps upon signing up. Crypto platform Earnity, co-founded by Dan Schatt and Domenic Carosa, is a company created by fintech veterans who believe that crypto and DeFi will have a vital role in making access and opportunity possible for all.

From a technological standpoint, the world of cryptocurrency has been evolving at an exponential rate. New assets, tokens, and projects need to be understood more by users to succeed in the open-access community. Compared to the early days of Bitcoin, experts see that there is a potential for more users to participate. Dan Schatt and Domenic Carosa’s new DeFi firm Earnity aims to take the complexity and exclusivity out of crypto so that more people can start creating digital assets in a social media community space where they can also learn as they start buying, collecting, and gifting tokens to other users.

For the Earnity team, crypto was created to enable the personal financial independence and sovereignty that everyone deserves. Dan Schatt, Domenic Carosa, and a team of fintech experts are developing a platform that allows users to take complete control of their funds through a secure system. Instead of gatekeeping the crypto space, the goal is to create a community where even beginners can succeed. In the DeFi space, the lack of central authority enables faster, more secure transactions than traditional finance.

Crypto going mainstream will happen sooner than most people think. The global economy, accessibility to technology, connectivity, public interest, and other factors set the stage for more users to finally see what the buzz is all about. To gain momentum, people need a curated and dynamic crypto marketplace like Earnity that allows them to explore financial technologies, DeFi, and web3 while building their portfolio.
