New Year’s resolution time is almost here and for those who want to stop smoking, vaping is a popular alternative. Vapor shops are turning up in many cities, including Fishers, and these retail storefronts usually sell all the necessary vaping equipment plus promote the practice.

Vaping is touted as being safer than tobacco and describes the experience of using atomizers, also known as e-cigarettes. Vapor Trails vapor shop at 8779 E. 116th St. in Fishers is one local place to find vaping accessories like atomizers, the heating coils and flavored liquids that makes the process work. Vapor Trails also provides a lounge where people can sit, socialize and vape. Customers must be at least 18 years old to enter the store.

Josh Lawyer, salesperson at Vapor Trails, confirmed that vaping is essentially a cigarette replacement. “Vaping weans people off nicotine,” he said. “It’s mostly smokers who vape but some people do it just for the enjoyment.”

How exactly does it work? The pen-style e-cigarettes have a coil inside that heats liquid (also known as juice) to the boiling point and that process produces vapors. The process mimics smoking and, over time, the nicotine content in the liquid is reduced from up to 24 milligrams to zero. “Vaping is the most successful smoking alternative there is because people still get to keep the hand-to-mouth habit and the exhale, only this process is healthier,” stated Lawyer.

Vapor Trails only sells liquids that are safely manufactured in America. Lawyer warned that people who buy liquids from an individual or from some overseas outlets may not receive a high quality or sterile product. Vapor Trails offers over 130 different liquid flavors and one of the most popular juice flavors at the shop is Bottle Rocket, which tastes like a red, white and blue popsicle.

Lawyer also stated that vaping is not known to lead to cigarette smoking. However, people who have successfully quit smoking cold-turkey may turn to the e-cigarette experience as an alternative when they feel like picking up a real one.
