The Basics about E-Liquid Nicotine Juice

When it comes to e-cigarettes or what is also known as vapor cigarettes, you'll come across something called e-liquid and might not understand what it means. The term is pretty self-explanatory, and you may have figured out that e-liquid is the liquid put in e-cigarettes and vaporized when one is using the e-cigarette. This simple definition of e-liquid doesn't cover the fluid in its entirety since there are many aspects that make e-liquids different from each other, which make an impact on the experience of e-smoking. Most think the e-smoking experience is based on the actual e-cigarette device; however, the liquid has far more to do with it. Here I will give a brief overview of what you might need to know when it comes to e-liquid, its involvement in e-smoking, and safety. With the ego-t starter kits, you can have a really great experience.

Basically, the ingredients for e-liquid are some flavorings, both natural and artificial, a specific percentage amount of nicotine unless you choose to use a nicotine-free version of the e-liquid, and the last ingredient is a special liquid that reacts to heat and vaporizes. E-liquid is made up of three primary ingredients, which include a base liquid that works with the battery and vaporizes when heated; nicotine, which is added at various strengths; and flavoring, which are natural and artificial. When it comes to the base liquid, or carrier, the two elements involved are vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol.

A lot of beginning e-smokers start with buying cartridges that are already full of e-liquid and disposable when empty. After a period of using these disposable cartridges, most e-smokers learn about e-liquid that is bottled and available for sale so they can use it for refillable e-cigarette devices like eGo setups, which saves them money. The price of a prefilled cartridge holding 1ml of e-liquid is about three dollars and the cost of bottled e-liquid costs less than one dollar per 1ml.

E-liquid is a product that is pretty simple; however, there is a lot of variety out there since the three ingredients can be manipulated in several ways and make for a lot of different flavors, produce various amounts of vapor when puffed on, and affect the throat hit of the vapor.

There is a belief among e-smokers that vaporized e-liquid is safer to inhale than regular tobacco smoke, and that's basically why the switched from tobacco cigarettes to e-cigarettes. When e-liquid vaporizes there is an uncertainty about the flavorings, which means the main concern is how flavorings might affect one's health when vaporized.

For instance, in a study conducted a couple of years ago, traces of diacetyl were found. Approved as a safe substance, diacetyl is the same stuff used to flavor buttered popcorn. However, some research indicates that it can do damage on the lungs. Most producers of e-liquids do all they can to keep diacetyl out of their formulas.

Also, in many cases, tobacco extracts are found in e-liquids. Complexities are added to e-liquids when these thick extracts are used in them. For now there is no evidence that these extracts are harmful.

E-liquids are a new trend and research still needs to be done, but all that is mentioned above should give you a good start to understanding e-liquids.

  1. As I speak w/folks with medical issues that smoking is only making worse, it is difficult to get them to quit. Most are willing to at least "cut back" how much they smoke a day. However, with those who have certain conditions, quitting is essential. Long-term health issues is something most don't think about. E cigarettes may be good to try when one is cutting back with the intention to quit altogether. Encouraging those w/mental health issues to get medical attention for MH issues first then attempt to try to cut back and quit smoking.
