T
he vaping scene is full of
passionate vapers who have
embraced everything about
vaping as they pursue and enjoy
a healthier lifestyle. Vapouround
caught up with vaping DJ
extraordinaire DJ Dantics who spins
discs at some of the coolest vaping
events around the world. Here is what he
had to say.
Q: You’re passionate about vaping
and music. How did this mixing of two
passions come about?
A: I had been DJing and producing music
long before e-cigarettes and vaping
became popular in the UK. Over the last
year, the two have combined very well
for me, which is where I am right now.
I've been lucky enough to DJ at some of
the UK's biggest vaping events.
Q: How do you feel when you’re
vaping and DJ-ing? Do you have any
particular e-liquids you put aside for
vaping whilst you’re spinning discs?
A: I love it! Blowing O's in time to music
is great fun and there's no need for a
34 WINTER EDITION VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE
smoke machine when I'm behind the
decks!
As for specific set ups whilst I am
playing, I tend to just use my 'go-to
set-up' which at the moment is a Sigelei
150w TC and Derringer RDA.
As for e-liquid it has to be one of my
ADV's so I don’t get bored of it!
Q: How long have you been vaping
for and when did you make the
switch from traditional tobacco to
e-cigarettes?
A: I first tried an e-cigarette 'cigalike'
when my brother was working for E-Lites
around three years ago.
I tried a few disposable shisha pens
too, but trying to quit traditional tobacco
cigarettes, using those things was hard.
I smoked my last cigarette on New
Year’s Eve 2014-2015 and I haven't
looked back since.
I half believe that being able to quit
cigarettes using vaping is down to the
fact it turned into a hobby for me.
Collecting devices and e-liquids, along
with enjoying the whole vaping scene in
general just made it easy.
Q: Vaping is a lifestyle choice. What
would you say to anyone wary of
switching to e-cigarettes?
A: Read Public Health England’s new
study. Look, putting anything into your
lungs isn't good at the end of the day, but
for PHE to publicly comment that vaping
is 95% safer than tobacco cigarettes is
awesome for the whole industry. Let's
just hope the USA (specifically CA) takes
note! A lot of my friends who still smoke
cigarettes and want to try vaping are
always put off by the cough or choke
they get when they try it for the first
time. However, you soon get used to
it by picking your own set up, nicotine
strength and flavours. It's all about
personal preference!
Q: Can you remember what your first
vape was (mod & e-liquid)?
A: I can! Apart from the cigalikes and
then eGo CE4, my first proper set-up
was an iStick 20w with a Kangertech
Aero tank. As for the e-liquid, I remember
having some 12mg Mountain Dew
flavour from a local store; I still have the
empty bottle somewhere!
