Hey Vape Fam, our 4th station of vaping culture exploration is still hanging out in Europe, but different from the British style, let’s unravel the je ne sais quoi of France’s vaping scene 
—a mix of Gallic flair, strict regs, and a love affair with bold flavors.
1. Liberté, Égalité, Vapoté: France’s Vaping Rebellion
France has Europe’s highest vaping rate—merci to the 3M+ vapers who ditched clopes (cigs) for clouds! But it’s not all baguettes and roses:
- TPD Rules: 10mL bottles, 20mg nic caps, and flavor bans? Oui. But French vapers adapt like pros.
- Vape Shops as Sanctuaries: Over 3,000 boutiques de vape dot the country, from Marseille to Lyon. They’re not just shops—they’re hubs for debating the latest DIV (DIY) e-liquid recipes or arguing over meilleur mod.
2. Device Trends: Chic, Compact, and Unapologetically French
- Pod Power: Sleek, discreet devices like the XROS 4 and XROS 4 NANO dominate. Why? Perfect for vaping between apéros or metro rides. Les sels de nicotine (10-20mg) are king for ex-smokers.
- Cloud Artistes: Sub-ohm isn’t dead! The GEN MAX and LUXE XR MAX thrive at conventions de vape, where cloud competitions get as intense as a Tour de France sprint.
3. Flavor Fantaisie: From Pâtisserie to Provence
French palates demand sophistication:
- Gourmand Classics: Crème Brûlée, Pain au Chocolat, and Macaron e-liquids—vaping these is like a pastry tour in 2mL.
- Herbal & Fresh: Lavande de Provence, Citron Vert, and even Thé à la Menthe (hello, Moroccan influence!).
- Tobacco Nuance: Gauloises-inspired blends with a twist—think dark cocoa or cedar notes.
4. À Vous! French Vapers, Sound Off!
- Your Daily Setup: Pod minimaliste or cloud monstre?
- Go-To Flavor: Classique tobacco or audacieux lavender-cheesecake?
- Local liquid brands: Shout your fave french liquid brands.
Keep France’s vaping culture libre, fière, and pleine de saveur. À la vôtre!
