If you're buying a gift for someone who's thinking about quitting, wait. A vape might not be the right present, even if they've mentioned it. Ask them directly. It's better to face an awkward conversation than to enable a habit they're trying to break.

Also, if the person is new to vaping, don't buy a high-nicotine device. Start with a lower strength and let them adjust. High nicotine can be overwhelming and unpleasant.

Finally, if you're unsure about the recipient's taste in flavors, wait until you can ask or observe. There's nothing worse than gifting a watermelon-mint vape to someone who hates menthol.
