If you're new to vaping you might have heard the term 'all-day vape' crop up in conversation or on E-Liquid descriptions. What does that even mean? To be honest, it's exactly as it sounds but we'll break it down for you. In this article, we'll take a look at what makes an all-day vape and give our top recommendations for the smoothest and most flavourful vape experiences. So, let's get started!
What does 'all-day vape' mean?
An all-day vape is a term used in the vaping community to describe what they would consider an enjoyable, low-nicotine and long-lasting vaping experience. It doesn't refer to how long you're vaping or even how long you should vape during the day! What it simply means is an E-Liquid that you can enjoy throughout the day. There are a few factors that make up an all-day vape.
What makes an all-day vape
There are three main things that make a good all-day vape:
1. A low/comfortable nicotine strength
2. A natural, well-balanced flavour that isn't overpowering
3. Doesn't produce huge clouds of vapour
Firstly, an all-day vape should be smooth and not too powerful, usually with either a low nicotine strength (3-10mg) or even nicotine-free. But it should still meet your nicotine cravings. So, if you're still fresh from swapping from cigarettes, you may need a higher strength to satisfy the cravings.
Generally, if you smoke heavily you will likely benefit from 20mg. If you used a 3-5mg E-Liquid then you would end up vaping more to try and meet the nicotine cravings. Not ideal for you or the amount of E-Liquid you'd need to buy! If you're not satisfying your nicotine cravings you could end up tempted back to cigarettes.
The flavour should not be overpowering or too synthetic either, so natural fruit and menthol flavours are preferable. Everyone loves a complex flavour but sometimes these can be a little too much to be enjoyed all day (unless the flavour combinations are properly balanced!).
Lastly, it shouldn't produce huge vapour clouds, just enough to make an enjoyable experience for yourself and those around you! Nic Salts are perfect for this as many Nic Salts are 50/50 ratio meaning you won't get big clouds.
Our recommendations for the perfect all-day vape
What is deemed an all-day vape can be quite subjective. What one person might enjoy puffing on all-day long may not be the same for you. While there are certain indicators that make a great all-day vape, the actual flavour profile will vary depending on your own tastes. If you don't like mango then chances are the perfect mango, all-day E-Liquid ain't going to be for you.
So, in celebration of everyone's tastebuds, we've tried to list a few of our favourite all-day vapes that we think someone else might enjoy.
The simple pleasures:
Pod Salt Core - Banana Ice
Nothing gets more perfect than a simple fruit flavour, and one that really stands out is this one. Banana offers a sweet, creamy flavour that feels authentic. Not only this but it's kept refreshing by an ice infusion that helps to make this an all-day vape that delivers everything you need. Pick it up at 11mg or 20mg but if you're looking for something lower then perhaps you should try our next suggestion.
Pod Salt Go Zero - Mixed Berries Ice
Now this is a blend that's great to vape all day - and better yet, its nicotine-free! Mixed berries are a firm favourite for the majority of vapers, and this disposable device offers you 2500 puffs of delicious flavour. Tantalisingly sweet with tart edges to keep you on your toes when you vape, the ice blast to finish cleans the palette nicely to make you want to come back for more.
Reds Apple E-Juice - Original
Simple but effective, and most importantly, enjoyable! Reds pride themselves on delivering the most authentic apple flavours so you really can't for wrong with their original flavour. Each puff delivers crisp red apple notes that make you believe you've taken a bite from the real thing. Available as 10mg and 20mg, this Nicotine Salt means you can enjoy a smooth vape, good nicotine hit and quality flavour.
Something a little different:
Pod Salt Nexus - Lime Raspberry Grapefruit
Hear me out, I might have said earlier that complex flavours rarely make a good all-day vape but, when they're done as well as Nexus, I make an exception. Formerly known as Citrus Mix, this blend of flavours sounds like a lot but it's been blended so well that it creates a balanced flavour that you really can enjoy all-day. It's so good you won't even notice that you've vaped it all already! Sweet, light, refreshing, it's everything you need to keep you in your best mood all day long. Available in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg, you can even pick this up as a shortfill to make your own low-nic or zero-nic vape.
Dripp - Hznbrg
Shortfills really do lend themselves to great flavours, and as they're naturally nicotine-free, you can enjoy them as they are or add nic shots to create a low mg E-Liquid. Dripp offers some interesting flavours that are literally dripping with flavour. This one in particular offers a juicy mix of blueberries and raspberries for a sweet and smooth flavour. An ice infusion at the end tops it off perfectly.
Cool classics to enjoy:
Pod Salt Origin - Menthol Tobacco
For those that enjoy the warming tastes of tobacco, Origin delivers a refreshing take with this menthol-infused flavour. Reminiscent of menthol cigarettes, Pod Salt combines warm, earthy notes of tobacco with cooling, lightly sweet menthol to help to take the edge off. What it creates is a refreshing vape like no other, perfect for those making the transition from smoking to vaping or those that enjoy slightly more robust flavours. Available in 11mg and 20mg.
Vape:50 - Ice Menthol
A Freebase addition to our list, Vape:50 deliver a perfectly balanced E-Liquid that provides consistent flavour and nicotine hits. Ice Menthol is the ultimate refreshing vape. Blending sweet and cool menthol with an icy blast makes this a wonder to vape all day. It reminds us of enjoying your favourite pack of mints/chewing gum, minus the tedious jaw-work involved. With a choice of 3mg to 18mg, you can enjoy this flavour even while cutting back on the nicotine.
