Big Mike's Bright Lights

“Vaping has become big news and has been gaining in popularity,” says Mike Sommerville of Big Mike's Vapor Trails. “The word 'vape' was even the word of the year in the Oxford dictionary.”

Vaping is the act of using an electronic cigarette. Vape can either be used as a verb (you can vape indoors or smoke outside) or a noun (I’ve been using a vape for three months now). It is called vape, and is allowed indoors, because it emits vapour, not smoke. More importantly, especially for smokers, E-juice is the active ingredient of vaporizers: it is made of food-safe additives and nicotine and is supplied in juice form (though it is not for drinking).

“The flavours are amazing,” Mike says. “There’s peanut butter and jam, fuzzy peach, pomegranate, eggnog, everything. My wife, Unice, has a special on for Christmas: buy one starter kit and get candy cane e-juice and another e-juice for free. It tastes exactly like a candy cane, not a hint of tobacco.”
