What You Need To Know About E Liquid

By Serena Price


All the dangers associated with the traditional cigarettes, the market is rapidly switching to electronic cigarettes (e cig) which is considered to be able to give the same benefit with little or no exposure to the dangers such as lung cancer. The fact that doctors and health professionals are also endorsing this option, and several celebrities and important figures in social standing are also making the switch, the demand is rising very fast. In case you are in this group, then it is important to understand E liquid you are using.

Other than the E liquid (Juice) that is heat to produce vapor that you then inhale as though you are smoking, the other contents of a basic electronic cigarette include an atomizer, a cartridge and the battery. The juices come in difference strengths (the nicotine concentration) and flavors.

Let us first discuss the basic components of this juice so that you get the basis of your choice. The juice is basically a mixture of water, flavoring, nicotine and some base liquid which can be Propylene Glycol (PG), Glycerine (VG) or Polyethylene Glycol (PEG 400). PG remains the commonly used although others prefer VG for its sweet taste. In case you are sensitive to PG but hate the sweet testing VG, then you may consider PEG 400.

The juices come with different strengths designed to suit different level of smokers. The heavy smokers, those who can finish more than a packet a day will prefer a higher concentration of nicotine while the weak concentration is for light smokers.

Here is the general guide on nicotine concentration. There is a nicotine free juice labeled as 0mg/ml targeting those who already quite smoking but still have the oral fixation. There is a range of 6mg/ml-12mg/ml for light smokers, 18mg/ml-24mg/ml for medium smokers and 30mg/ml-36mg/ml for heavy smokers. If you are trying it for the first time, it is very important that you seek help and guidance from a professional and you might have to consult a doctor particularly for pregnant ladies, breast feeding mothers and those with chronic diseases.

Most of flavors used are based on the food flavors. In any case, there are just too many tastes available in the stores today that no single article could discuss all of them. What matters is being able to understand the ingredients as they are always indicated on the label to assist you in making a choice.

You might be among that group that would rather steep their own juice. In case you prefer this option. There are many guides available for you both in magazines and in the net. You just need to understand that it is a matter of trial and error. Either way, it is a better way as you will can easily fills the cartridge by dropping 2-3 drops of juice into the atomizer and save a lot of money as a result.

All other things in an electronic cigarette are just to help you vaporize and inhale the E liquid. As such, your satisfaction is basically determined by this juice; that is why you must get it right. This includes ordering from the right suppliers and the best brand that you choose.
