Smoking combustible cigarettes is a dangerous, even deadly habit, and when the time comes to quit, the real challenge is finding a strategy that works to kick those cravings. While it’s one of the best things you can do for your health, having motivation is often not enough to keep you smoke-free, which is why ex-smokers pair their strong desires for quitting smoking with nicotine replacement therapies like e-cigs, nicotine gum, and counseling. That said, another method that ex-smokers are turning to is hypnosis. 

What is hypnosis?

Defined as an altered state of awareness in which you appear as if you’re asleep or in a trance, hypnosis is often used to treat physical pain management or psychological problems such as eating disorders, speech disorders, and addiction issues. Hypnosis gives people the ability to relax and concentrate on a deeper level, which is very important when you’re quitting smoking for good.  

How can hypnosis work for quitting smoking? 

Hypnosis for smoking cessation requires the user to close their eyes and enter a relaxed state. You’re then asked to imagine unpleasant outcomes from smoking—this could be the smell that lingers on your clothes and hands, coughing and wheezing, and even the parched feeling you sometimes get when your mouth becomes dry after smoking. You’re also asked to focus on the negatives that smoking brings to your life and how you allow and facilitate it—smoking poisons your body, you need a healthy body to live, and it’s your job to respect and protect your body. Through self-hypnosis, you repeat affirmations and the desire you have to quit smoking. 

Does hypnosis work for smoking?

Generally speaking, hypnosis doesn’t work for everyone and the intensity of it can vary from person to person. However, it also won’t convince you to do anything that you don’t want to do. While there is no imminent proof that it works to help people quit smoking and remains a hopeful approach with many benefits when combined with other quitting smoking techniques like the use of e-cigs. 

Remember that it’s never too late to quit smoking.

As with anything you use regularly, your e-cig needs to be kept clean. Even the best vape pens on the market function better when they’re clean and clear of dust. While the frequency with which you clean your device depends on how often it’s used, we will discuss why, when, and how to clean your unit below.

Why does your vape pen need cleaning?

It goes without saying that cleaning your e-cig regularly will lengthen its lifespan. This is because debris can clog the air passages, causing strain on the hardware. While the idea of cleaning your device may seem a tad bit tedious, it’s quick, simple, and will save you from having to replace your device anytime soon. Furthermore, cleaning high germ areas like the mouthpiece is far more sanitary. 

How do you know when it’s time to clean your unit?

While you don’t need to worry about signs of build-up for a few months post-purchase, it’s a good idea to set up a cleaning schedule right from the start. A brand-new unit hits smooth and tasty on the palette, but with a lack of cleaning, the residue is sure to build up over time blocking the pathways and changing the quality of the vaper. We recommend making cleaning your vape pen a part of your weekly routine as a rule of thumb.

Here are some things to keep an eye out for to create a cleaning schedule that better suits your vaping needs:

• Residue build-up 
• Hard to inhale due to obstructed pathways
• Forced to inhale harder than normal

How do you clean your vape pen?

Logic e-cigs are designed to be hassle-free and straightforward to operate and clean. Both the Logic Pro Advanced Vapor System and the Logic Power Series can be cleaned by simple removal of the mouthpiece from the battery. You can do this by twisting the unit and unscrewing it. Then, take a clean paper towel and wipe down each terminal along with the nooks of your mouthpiece. If you decide to vape using a Logic Disposable Electronic Cigarette, you don’t need to worry about regular cleaning. Simply vape your unit until no more e-liquid remains and recycle your empty device.

Happy (clean) vaping! 

Even the best vape pens, well-used, require cleaning? Do you have a schedule to ensure device longevity?

Vaping nowadays is almost as accessible as traditional cigarettes simply because many manufacturing companies have jumped to the vaping industry’s hype and revolutionary stance and have grown substantially to this date. Even though many technological advancements have been made, top-notch brands seem to not run out of innovative ideas and keep creating new, evolved products to give everyone a better experience. 

Logic is a huge name in the industry, and vapers have been raving about their Logic Pro. Here, we will talk about some of the newest features of Logic Pro and what separates it from your regular vape.

• No-Spill Capsules

Vape leakage and spilling capsules are some of the most common problems of vapers. Many factors could cause this concern, such as overfilling pod, the coil needs changing, low battery pod, incorrect setting, and poor vape design. With Logic Pro Vape Pen, on the other hand, you won’t have to worry about these fixes anymore as it is properly designed to avoid these types of inconveniences. An easy pop-in mechanism allows you to switch through different flavors seamlessly with no spills.

• Fast Charging

Another problem with Vape Pens is that even though you can carry them around, you’ll have to find a place to charge them as they could run out of battery in the middle of the day. Logic Pro has adjusted to fix this problem by using a 650mAh battery that fully charges in just 100 minutes. With a short amount of time, you could now enjoy a 24hrs of hassle-free vaping experience.

• Shows E-Liquid Label

Without measuring all your puffs, you wouldn’t know precisely when your e-liquid runs out. Logic Pro Cartridges is designed with intentionality, as you’ll be able to look at the level of your e-liquid anytime you want. This intelligent design is beneficial to avoid running out of juice, especially when you’re heading out.

• One Button Activation System

Convenience and ease of use are critical for vapers to focus on enjoying the experience instead of reading hard-to-read manuals and setup tutorials before they even start vaping. This is why the Logic Pro managed only to use one button as an activation system while also providing many very easy functions to learn and use for daily vaping.

• Sleek Minimalist Design

Aside from its functionality, Logic seems to have nailed its design. The sleek minimalist look of the Logic Pros is getting all the attention it deserves and topping off with a fully functional mechanism. Logic Pro is truly a must-have experience for everyone in the vaping community.

• Multiple Flavor Options

Flavors are one of the reasons why vapes gained traction in the mainstream market. However, mass manufacturers have found it easier to replicate juices that don’t go through any quality standards. With Logic Pro, you’ll rest assured that all the liquid juices have run through tests and are formulated to provide as much quality as possible for the vaping community. Tobacco and Menthol Capsules for Logic Pro are one of the best-selling e-liquids today, as they should be.

The American Lung Association has been making strides to create a tobacco-free future. Listed below are many victories and milestones!

Does tobacco cause cancer? 

Did you know that combustible cigarettes contain over 5000 chemicals, with around 70 that are linked to various cancers? This means that people who use tobacco products or who’re regularly around environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke) possess an increased risk of developing cancer in any form. As the leading cause of cancer and death from cancer, many ex-smokers turn to e-cigs to quit combustibles cigarettes, limit their nicotine intake, and wave goodbye to tobacco for good.

The American Lung Association’s tobacco timeline

1954: Richard Doll and A. Bradford Hill published an article in the British Medical Journal confirming the link between smoking and lung cancer.

1961-1964: The American Lung Association wrote to President Kennedy to highlight an increase in evidence to support that smoking was a health hazard. The report, entitled Smoking and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General of the Publish Health Service, was later published publically in 1964, confirming a link between smoking and lung cancer. 

1966: Health warnings first appear on combustible cigarette packs: “Caution—Cigarette smoking may be hazardous to your health.”

1975: The Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act went into effect as the first statewide law in the nation to require separate smoking areas in public places. 

1984: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves nicotine gum to help people quit smoking.

1987: Congress prohibits smoking on domestic flights of less than two hours to take effect in 1988. 

1990: San Luis Obispo, California becomes the first city in the world to completely eliminate smoking in public buildings, bars, and restaurants. 

1993: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published a report concluding that secondhand smoke is responsible for approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths each year in nonsmoking adults and impairs the respiratory health of hundreds of thousands of children. It was entitled, Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking: Lung Cancer and Other Disorders.  

1995: Nicotine is declared a drug and combustible cigarettes start the process of becoming regulated drug delivery devices. 

2006: The Surgeon General releases The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke. The 40+ year debate is over and any form or level of secondhand smoke is now deemed harmful. 

2008: The U.S. Public Health Service releases an important update on treating tobacco use and dependence. This guideline contains recommendations for doctors on how to help their patients quit tobacco, including seven types of medications and three types of counseling. 

2010: Marketing restrictions on youth access take effect prohibiting misleading health descriptors. 

2015: A new report entitled, Health Implications of Raising the Minimum Age for Purchasing Tobacco Products found that raising the minimum age to 21-years-old will significantly reduce youth smoking initiation and rates. Hawaii is the first state to raise the sales age on tobacco products.  

2017: Tobacco companies run corrective statements in print newspapers and on TV about the deception and fraud surrounding the dangers of smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke over the past 50 years. 

2020: E-cigarette companies were required to submit a premarket review to the FDA.

2021: FDA is still going through all of the applications. The Vuse Vapor e-cig is the first device to be approved as a smoking cessation device. 

Now that we’ve answered your question, “Does tobacco cause cancer” and laid out a variety of resources pointing to it over 70 years, are you ready to make the switch?

Thirty U.S. states upped or added taxes on vaping products in 2022. With such a rapid increase—27 states in seven years—it’s become harder and harder for responsible, adult vapers to purchase their e-cig products and keep on par with vaping budgets. When e-cigs were first introduced to the market, retailers only had to worry about regular taxes. However, now every shipment crossing state lines is subject to a different level of taxation, making it difficult to keep up with. 

No state is the same

There are currently no federal restrictions on vape product sales within the United States, instead, there are state excise taxes on each e-cig product. The confusing part is that while some states have vape-specific sales taxes, others will allow local jurisdictions to establish their vape taxes. If that isn’t enough to comprehend, vape retailers like us who sell online have an added complexity of needing to comply with the laws and regulations of each state where their customers purchase from, including sales tax nexus requirements. 

Here is a list of states that currently don’t have excuse taxes on vape products according to the Federation of Tax Administrators:  

As of February 2022, the states without vape taxes are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Caroline, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas. 

It’s important to know that while Indiana currently doesn’t have a vape excise tax, it will be taking effect on July 1 of this year. Also, Alaska doesn’t have a statewide vape excise tax, but many municipalities within the state collect a local tax on vaping products. 

Many more states will likely start collecting excise tax on vaping products soon. So, if you live in one of the states that currently doesn’t collect taxes, we recommend stocking up on your products to avoid paying more down the road.

While the coldest part of winter has come and gone, for many parts of the world, spring is also rather chilly. Since it doesn’t cost you anything to properly look after your e-cig, we’ve listed some tricks below to help you to keep your device operating under freezing conditions. Here are the tips for vaping in colder weather. 

Keep your device warm

Depending on where you live, temperatures in the winter and spring months can be chilly, which causes operational problems for all types of electronic devices. So, if the weather is still cool outside, we recommend keeping your e-cig warm to ensure that no problems arise such as the battery losing power, e-liquid freezing, or condensation forming around your unit. That said, the easiest way to warm your device is by keeping it in your coat pocket or inside your purse for seamless accessibility while also utilizing your body heat for those extremely cold days. 

The same thing goes for backup cartomizers and capsules. While the e-liquid won’t freeze unless you leave it outside, if you’re experiencing extremely low temperatures, the cold can affect its consistency. Storing backup e-liquids somewhere warm ensure that your experience remains easy and enjoyable. 

Moisture is bad for your device

Even the best e-cigs should be kept in a dry environment to ensure that no condensation can easily form. Why is moisture a problem, you ask? Getting water into the battery compartment and electrical connection may lead to malfunction and the need to replace your entire device. So, aside from keeping your device warm on cool days, be sure to store it away when not in use on rainy days as well. 

Take extra care of the battery

While the best e-cigs on the market, such as Logic, come equipped with a powerful, high-quality battery, cold temperatures can greatly affect their power, making them less efficient. That said, it’s easy to keep your battery working properly when you know what to do. Charge your battery daily and ensure that it’s close to empty before placing it on charge. Also, be sure to not overcharge the battery.

Everyone is likely to experience some degree of hair loss or thinning due to age, which over time, can eventually lead to balding. However, did you know that if you’re a smoker, it’s common for you to experience premature hair loss? Since smoking combustible cigarettes can cause many negative health concerns, hair loss is just another reason to kick the habit. 

Does smoking cause hair loss?

While many factors may lead to hair loss, including stress, genetics, hormones, and lifestyle habits, smoking combustible cigarettes are a huge contributor. This is because blood flow is vital to the hair follicle—tiny pores in the skin that produce hair—for healthy growth. High nicotine levels reduce blood flow throughout the body while constricting your blood vessels, negatively impacting the oxygen and nutrients needed to sustain your hair growth cycle. 

What effects does smoking have on your hair? 

Smoking combustible cigarettes:

• Depletes collagen, dehydrating your hair and robbing it of natural oils
• Causes a buildup on your scalp, making your roots oily
• Causes premature greying
• Brings changes to your endocrine system, hampering the glands
• Reduces vitamin A and C, which is needed for collagen production

Does quitting smoking help air growth? 

One of the best ways to reverse the effects of smoking combustible cigarettes on the hair is by quitting for good. This is because hair loss due to smoking is reversible and treatable, allowing you to regrow healthy hair. While it takes time for hair to return to a healthier state, especially if you were a long-term smoker, it’s essential to take the steps towards quitting for good. For those who aren’t able to quit cold turkey, we recommend utilizing quit smoking aids like e-cigs to transition away from tobacco and lower your nicotine levels. Once you eliminate the contaminants from your body, hair growth will come.

Most ex-smokers say that the first week of being a non-smoker was one of the most challenging parts of the whole journey. The habit is still fresh, and you’ll use a lot of willpower to surpass the days to come. Let’s discuss this and explain how you could get through the first week of quitting smoking.

What makes the first week challenge?

There’s a reason why many people have tried to quit the habit but failed time and time again right before their first week of being a non-smoker ends. This is because the nicotine withdrawal symptoms of quitting are at their peak, and if you’re not aware of them and how to get through them, you’ll only end up returning to square one. Here are some of the most common struggles for smokers in their first week.

• Intense Cravings

You’re going to notice an intense craving to go back into smoking. Intense Cravings are usual, mainly if you’re used to smoking packs of cigarettes, then all of a sudden, stop using them. Smoking is called a habit because it becomes part of a routine over time. Some people use it only for social gatherings, and some may use it to alleviate stress or for recreational purposes. Either way, once you get used to it, you tend to become dependent on the smoke, and this is where addiction starts to take its course.

This is why whenever you stop using them, you should be expecting that you’re going against your instincts and set routine, so it’s expected for you to experience heightened cravings to smoke again. An excellent way to get through this is by using alternative options like vaping. E-cigarettes have helped many ex-smokers get through their journey as they are one of the best ways to curb intense smoke cravings without getting the risks of an actual combustible cigarette.

• Brain Fog and Difficulty to Concentrate

This part of the withdrawal is a huge deal, especially if you’re used to using cigarettes during breaks at work to keep up with your day-to-day stress in daily activities. Difficulty concentrating is expected when you stop smoking a cigarette simply because your brain is not used to not having nicotine around. This results in a foggy brain and gives you difficulty getting focused on the tasks at hand.

One of the best ways you could do to get through this is to cut yourself some slack for the week. Quitting smoke is difficult enough, and it’s best to cut off or limit activities that would need too much focus from you.

• Anxiety and Depressive State of Mind

Another challenging withdrawal symptom of quitting smoke is the negative mood changes which could leave you with anxiety and a depressive state of mind. This is because when your brain has gotten used to the sedative effects of nicotine, you tend to depend on the substance whenever you feel stressed and anxious.

Fortunately, natural ways to alleviate stress require you to depend on harmful chemical substances like cigarettes. Being active, catching up with your closest friends, and simply doing activities that you enjoy should be enough to get through day-to-day stress.

If you feel like your depression is getting worse, talking with a healthcare professional is highly recommended to respond and help deal with your current situation immediately.

• Increased Appetite which Leads to Weight Gain

Stress eating is natural, and you’re going to find yourself eating a lot more than you’re used to after you quit smoking. If weight gain is holding you back from trying to quit smoking, understand that this is only temporary as you’re body is trying to adapt to abrupt changes, and it’s only the best for your health in the long run if you get through the early symptoms of your quit journey.

What can you do about this? Since your daily food intake goes up, it’s also recommended that you should try to be a little more active. It helps reduce the amount of energy or calories your body stores. At the same time, it does an excellent job of alleviating stress, especially in the absence of your go-to substance for anxiety, which is smoking. 

Takeaways

Deciding to quit smoking is already a massive step towards your sobriety. Although staying off smoke is a little bit more challenging in the first few days or weeks, you’ll start getting used to it as time goes by. With a little bit of help, these tips mentioned above should already be enough for you to get through the withdrawal challenges of quitting smoking.

Logic e-cigs are powerful, accessible, and work well for users that are transitioning to vaping and those also hoping to lower their nicotine intake. These handy quit smoking devices work so well that our website is focused solely on supplying customers with the three devices all manufactured by Logic! Continue reading to learn more about Logic e-cigs and how each of these three units operates before deciding which one is right for you. 

How do you use the Logic Disposable Electronic Cigarette?

Logic’s disposable e-cig unit is the most convenient and simplistic model available. Offered in 2.4% nicotine with some added tobacco flavoring, this device is powerful and easy-to-use making it the first choice for transitioning ex-smokers and a top-choice for long-term vapers. So, why is this model so popular? Aside from being equipped with a pre-charged battery, the Logic Disposable Electronic Cigarette is ready-to-vape from right out of the box, which means that there’s no maintenance needed. Simply unpackage your new device, inhale through the mouthpiece, and enjoy complete satisfaction. 

How do you use the Logic Power Series?

Similar to the disposable unit the Logic Power Series is a robust model that is offered in 2.4% nicotine. As a rechargeable unit, it requires some added steps to get vaping. Start by unpacking a tobacco e-liquid cartridge—your starter kit includes one along with a powerful battery and charger. Since the battery is packaged with a charge you simply remove the two plastic end caps from your cartridge and twist it onto the threaded portion of the battery. Click the button to activate and start your vaping experience. When the battery is low it will blink blue and you can twist it onto the charger and plug it in to gain a full charge. After that, you simply order replacement cartridges based on your usage, which can be easily completed through the easy ordering system that we have set up on the website!

How do you use the Logic Pro Advanced Vapor System?

This awesome unit is offered at a lower 1.8% nicotine, which is great for those who want to lower their nicotine concentration levels. As another fantastic rechargeable option, there are added steps involved before you can enjoy the smooth vaping process. Firstly, the Logic Pro Advanced Vapor System is sold separately from its replacement tobacco capsules. So, you must order both before you can seamlessly use the device. Start by first removing your vapor pen from the packaging—it comes equipped with a USB charger and wall charger. The battery should be charged and ready to go. You can now remove the e-liquid capsule from its packaging, also removing the rubber ends before inserting the capsule into the pen with the flat end up. Then you can twist the charged battery onto the pen before pressing the button five times to activate it. A blue light will now come on to indicate that it’s ready to vape. The best part about this unit is that after 10 minutes, the battery will automatically turn off to preserve energy. 

Just like the unit above, recharge and replace capsules as needed depending on your usage.
