To ensure your success, visiting a reputable shop like HiVape is the best first step. They provide high-quality, NZ-compliant devices—from simple pre-filled pods to advanced vape mods—to help mimic the rituals of smoking while satisfying cravings.

How to Transition Successfully

• Choose the Right Device: Beginners should start with a pre-filled pod or closed pod system. These are hassle-free and mimic the "draw" of a cigarette. If you prefer variety, refillable pods allow you to test more flavors and nicotine strengths.

• Match Your Nicotine Level: If you smoke 20+ cigarettes daily, start with 18–20mg/mL. Lighter smokers should aim for 6–12mg/mL. You can gradually lower this to no-nicotine options over time.

• Prepare for the 2025 Ban: Note that disposable vapes will be banned in NZ starting 17 June 2025. Switching to a rechargeable vape kit now is a more sustainable and cost-effective long-term strategy.

• Experiment with Flavors: From classic tobacco to Kiwi favorites like feijoa, finding a flavor you enjoy makes it much easier to stay away from cigarettes.

Why Make the Switch?

Vaping is significantly cheaper than daily cigarette packs and doesn't leave an ashtray smell on your clothes. Most importantly, it supports NZ’s Smokefree 2026 goal, offering a cleaner lifestyle for you and your community.
