What Exactly is My E Liquid Made of and is it Safe?

A fluid that not only prevents about 14 types of cancer and moreover, comes in dozens of delectable flavors besides having a lot of other merits sounds like something that probably deserves more respect and adoration than it gets. For something so revolutionary, the name ‘E-Liquid

• seems underwhelming and all of us should rather call them vape juices.

Since internet is a free medium and anybody can write anything, it is loaded with misinformation. At the behest of big tobacco conglomerations, Vaping is continuously being defamed and that’s something that angers the Vaping community across the world and this blatant submission of big companies to baser modes of business like spreading misinformation and maligning something as safe as vaping goes a long way to prove that the days of tobacco products aren’t far from over.

Vape Juices majorly have 3 ingredients and 2 minor additives, and all of these ingredients are safe for our consumption.

The 3 major ingredients found in E Liquids are PG (Propylene Glycol), VG (Vegetable Glycerin) and Natural/Artificial Food Flavors. Let’s get to know them in some detail:

1. Propylene Glycol:

PG is added to vape juices to reduce the thickness/consistency of the fluid so that it is convenient to use when using a starter vape device where in minimal juice is brought into use and lesser vapor is produced. It has no taste and smell and is responsible for what we know as a ‘throat hit’.

Additionally, it helps in spreading the flavor rapidly and effectively and is commonly found in everyday substances such as frozen yogurt and frostings.

2. Vegetable Glycerin:

VG has a sweetish sort of taste and is an extremely viscous fluid and is primarily responsible for creating thick white mists. Advanced Vapers who use high end vape devices and vape at higher temperatures prefer higher VG concentrations in their e liquids to fulfill their requirements of thick liquids. Vegetable glycerin is commonly found in different products like baby food, baked goods etc.

3. Food Flavorings:

Food flavorings might be natural or artificial and are generally produced under guidelines for safety and are used in a plethora of things like Ice creams, beverages, cakes and baked goods, etc.

4. Sweeteners:

A few liquids add sweeteners to generate an additional kick.

5. Nicotine:

Contrary to popular belief, Nicotine is addictive but safe and it does not cause cancer. Tobacco clubbed with about 5000 chemicals found in cigarettes causes tons of diseases including cancer when consumed via smoke after burning.

Many ex-smokers have successfully weaned off of their nicotine intake and are vaping without nicotine. It could take some time to reach that stage, but it’s very much possible.

Conclusion:

How safe and deliciously enjoyable your Vaping experience is going to be mostly relies on the quality and blends that the company producing the juices maintains.

It generally comes down to the importance of buying from a vape juice manufacturer who is ethical and always gets you consistent, safe and quality vape juices. So, be aware of who you’re dealing with, how ethical their business practices are and do they deliver what they promise? Keep Vaping!
