WHAT IS IN VAPE JUICE?

Vape juice, also known as juice or liquid vape, has four main components:

1. Vegetable glycerin
2. Propylene Glycol
3. Flavoring
4. Nicotine

Vape juice, also known as liquid nicotine, is a viscous liquid used to fill electronic cigarettes or vapes. You can also get vape liquid without nicotine. The vape heats the e-liquid to create a cloud.

Are the chemicals in vape liquid safe to vape or not?

It’s important to note that the FDA has classified all of these chemicals as “Generally Recognized As Safe” (GRAS) for human consumption. The health effects of vaporizing and smoking these chemicals have not been fully studied.

You will be able to:

1. The ingredients in your e-juice
2. What is HTML0 used for?
3. Does it affect your vaping experience?

Let’s start with vegetable glycerin and propylene glycerin since they make up most of your juice. These two substances are commonly used in household products, cosmetics, and food as a humectant.

VEGETABLE GLYCERIN

What is VEGETABLE GLUCERIN (VG), and what does it do?

• Glycerol or Vegetable Glycerin is a thick, clear liquid that’s usually derived from palm trees or soybeans. It can be made using animal fat, but it is less common.

• Many people mistake this for vegetable oil because it has a thick, syrupy texture. However, VG is different from vegetable oil. Glycerol, on the other hand, is water-soluble.

• The FDA has approved VG as a chemical that is “generally recognized to be safe” for human consumption. Inhaling Glycerol (or VG) has not been studied for its effects on health.

What is VG used for?

• The food industry uses Glycerol as a sweetener because it leaves a slightly sweet taste. Glycerol is also used in food to help retain moisture, thicken foods, and homogenize ingredients.

• Glycerol, a substance used in the pharmaceutical industry to increase the solubility of ingredients and to improve the absorption by the skin, is added to skin creams to help preserve moisture.

• VG can be found in a variety of personal care products, including makeup, shampoos, hand and skin creams, toothpaste, eye drops, and deodorants.

• Food products like baked goods, cheeses, yogurt, gel pills, and other processed foods also contain VG.

How does VG affect your vaping experience?

• The viscosity (VG) of a liquid determines how much vapor is produced. The thicker the cloud, the higher the VG. Cloud-chasing vapers will use a high VG ratio with subohm vapes in order to achieve large, plumy clouds.

• VG is known for its smoother and softer throat hit.

• It is because of the thicker VG that your vape coil will have a harder time wicking, which can lead to dry hits. A high VG will make it take longer to saturate the Cotton in your vape coil.

• The goopy consistency of VG makes it more difficult to clean a tank than PG.

PROPYLENE GLYCOL (PG)

What is propylene Glycol?

• Propylene Glycol, a liquid that is colorless and odorless derived from petroleum, has a mildly sweet flavor. PG is a liquid with a slightly syrupy texture, but it’s runnier than vegetable glycerin.

• Propylene Glycol can be confused with Ethylene Glycol, a toxic chemical that is found in antifreeze. Many manufacturers use Propylene Glycol as an alternative to ethylene glycol due to its high toxicity. Propylene glycol is used to make products for humans and pets, while ethylene glycol must be handled with care.

• Propylene glycol, a chemical that is approved for human consumption by the FDA, is not cancerous. As for inhaling PG, it Depends on the vaping devices you are using.

• If you are allergic to PG and have symptoms like a sore mouth or skin irritation, it is best to choose an e-juice that has a higher VG ratio.

FLAVORING

What are FLAVORING CONCENTRATES?

• In e-juices, flavoring concentrates are a mixture of artificial and natural flavors that mimic the taste of food or drinks.

• FEMA (Flavour Extracts Manufacturers Association) has approved flavoring concentrates that are ‘food grade.’ The effects of inhaling these flavoring concentrates, even though they are food-grade concentrates, are still not well understood.

What are the uses of FLAVORING CONCENTRATES?

• Flavoring Concentrates are used in soda, baked goods, candy, and other processed foods.

• Vape juices can be created by combining different flavoring concentrates. A simple flavor like strawberry, for example, can replicate the taste of eating a real strawberry. Mixology can be both a science and an art.

How does the flavoring concentrate affect your vaping experience?

• Flavoring Concentrates make up less than 10% of total e-juice.

• E-juices do not contain oil-based flavors.

• Inhalation of diketones such as diacetyl and acetoin can be diacetyl. Media started to focus on the dangers of diacetyl after workers at a diacetyl popcorn plant began contracting a rare lung condition called popcorn lung, or bronchiolitis.

• The amount of Diacetyl found in cigarettes is 100 times greater than the amount of e-juice that has been discovered.

NICOTINE

WHAT IS NICOTINE?

• Nicotine is an alkaloid that can be found in plants of the nightshade (nightshade family), such as tobacco, tomatoes, eggplants, and potatoes.

• Nicotine is highly addictive, and it’s one of the reasons cigarettes are hard to stop.

• Nicotine can be a stimulant, but it also relaxes a person.

• Inhalation of carcinogenic substances in cigarettes is not the cause of cancer. Nicotine is addictive, but no scientific evidence has been found to prove that it causes cancer.

What is nicotine used for?

• Nicotine is found in nicotine gums, nicotine inhalers, and patches, as well as e-liquid.

• Nicotine cravings make it difficult to quit smoking cold turkey.

• Nicotine is added to vape juices and in other nicotine replacement therapy products in order to help people quit smoking. Many people use vape juices to mimic the sensation of smoking and get nicotine more safely.

0 nicotine vape juice can also be purchased because nicotine vape juices are used to help quit smoking. This can be the final step in reducing your nicotine intake.

How does nicotine affect the vaping experience?

• Vaping nicotine is available in levels of 0 mg to 12 mg.

• You can get 0mg nicotine e-juices to help you quit nicotine while still enjoying the sensation of smoking.

• The more nicotine in the product, the stronger the throat pain. Nicotine can give a more bitter flavor.

• You can choose between two types of nicotine: nicotine freebase and nicotine salts.

• Freebase nicotine, also known as regular nicotine, is most commonly available in the following dosages: 0 mg. 3 mg. 6 mg. and 12 mg.

• The nicotine salts are a relatively new product. They differ from freebase nicotine in that they allow vapers to vape higher nicotine strengths without the harsh taste. It is the closest vaping experience to a cigarette.

• Nicotine salts are also known as nic Salts. Nicotine salts usually come in 25-50 mg strengths.

• To prevent children from consuming juice, all bottles must be child-proofed. Nicotine poisoning in children is fatal.
