E-LIQUID – A FAQ ABOUT E-LIQUID
This blog post is here to give you a crash course about e-liquid – A – FAQ about e-liquid and how it works. Once finished reading you should feel much better informed to make your e-liquid decisions.
WHAT IS E-LIQUID?
E-liquid is made up of primarily VG (Vegetable Glycerin) or PG (Propylene Glycol). VG and PG are humectants, which are used to keep the substance moist. E-liquid contains nicotine that the e-cigarette atomizer heats up to produce vapor. This vapor is inhaled like normal cigarette smoke. As well as nicotine, e-liquid is coupled with food grade flavoring to bring you a tasty vaping expirience.
WHAT FLAVORS ARE THERE?
As liquid nicotine, PG and VG are virtually odorless, E-liquid suppliers are producing an ever-expanding variety of flavors. These range from the typical tobacco flavors such as menthol, coffee and vanilla to more exotic flavors such as strawberry, bubblegum and pina colada. Everyone responds to the flavors differently so make sure you get a trial pack before you buy a big bottle!
HOW DOES NICOTINE IN E-LIQUID RELATE TO NICOTINE IN TOBACCO CIGARETTES?
The nicotine content in E-liquid ranges from low to high, right through from nicotine-free at 0mg to extra strength at 24mg. Due to the number of variables involved, it is very difficult to equate E-liquid to cigarette smoke precisely. Generally lower levels of nicotine work best for people who smoked less than a pack a day and/or light cigarettes. for those who smoked full flavor and/or a pack or more a day, the higher levels of nicotine will likely be satisfying for you.
It is important to remember that nicotine is poisonous in large quantities so make sure you handle it very carefully and furthermore keep it out of reach of children and pets.
WHY IS VAPING HEALTHIER THAN SMOKING?
We all know that nicotine is an addictive substance but when delivered through normal cigarettes it is joined by numerous cancer-causing ingredients such as tar and carbon monoxide. Mixed in to a lot of pre-rolled cigarettes are 4000 chemical compounds and 600 additives. E-liquid delivers nicotine without these carcinogenic materials.
HOW DO I USE E-LIQUID IN E-CIGARETTES?
There are several kinds of electronic cigarettes and the method of using E-liquid differs accordingly. You can either buy pre-filled cartridges of E-liquid or the more cost-effective measure of refillable tanks. Additionally there are numerous disposable options as well. These are “one time use” and are tossed out after the battery life and e-liquid is depleted.
