Vape'em If You Got'em: Vaporizing Your Nicotine Habit Once and For All

In Beijing, we take cigarette smoking pretty seriously. So it was only a matter of time before the e-cigarette revolution hit the capital. Vaporizers are currently viewed as a less harmful alternative to cigarettes for those wanting that nicotine fix, without that pesky smoke tearing up your lungs or stinking up your threads (surprisingly lots of people hate that). At Cyovape you can find everything to help you kick those tobacco sticks at one location.

There are many vaporizers to choose from (RMB 398 to 1,580). They even have disposable, cigarette-shaped versions (RMB 28) in various flavors that last about 500 puffs. This is the equivalent of about two packs of cigarettes, if you just want to give it a try and not commit to one of those pricey phallic vapor bongs.

Once you have your vaporizer picked out, Cyovape has a suitable synthesized version of your favorite tobacco and beyond, with flavors like cotton candy, blueberry ice, and cappuccino. Their selection of e-juices is set in tall stacks around the store, with prices ranging from RMB 50-100. Next door to the shop, there is even a small tasting room, where you can blend your own e-juice, or customize your pen with Hello Kitty heads or a handlebar mustache, as if these things didn’t look silly enough.

Even though this shop isn’t as cheap as ordering a vape pen off Taobao, Cyovape is a convenient option if you don’t have your online commerce options set up.

While the future of e-cigs is still being paved, this is probably your best option for getting a far healthier nicotine buzz. The staff is knowledgeable about their merchandise, and is willing to guide you through the differences of these simple, hyper-futuristic devices, so you can get that stinky monkey off your back.
