Which vape is best for beginners?

How do I keep my flavors tasting fresh?

Flavor comes down to a few simple habits. Store your cartridges away from heat and direct light, keep your mouthpiece and connections clean, and use cartridges within the manufacturer's shelf life. A little upkeep goes a long way toward keeping each session tasting the way it should.

It is a good idea to check the expiration date or shelf life indicated by the manufacturer and use your cartridges within that window for the best experience.
