What Are The Main Components Of E-cigarette E-liquid

First, the main components of e-cigarette e-liquid

Tincture oil is mainly composed of four substances, namely, trace amount of nicotine, propylene glycol (referred to as PG: Propylene Glycol), “vegetable glycerin (referred to as VG: Vegetable Glycerin)”, and “flavors & flavors”.

1.Trace amounts of nicotine:

(1)Nicotine, also known as nicotine, is an addictive substance for cigarettes. Trace amounts of nicotine in e-liquid can ensure that addiction is satisfied.

(2)Pure nicotine is highly toxic, and the nicotine content in e-liquid is often expressed as XXmg / ml.Generally speaking, when buying e-liquid, you can choose 24mg / ml (very high concentration), 18mg / ml (high concentration), 12mg / ml (medium concentration), 6mg / ml (low concentration) or 0mg / ml (no nicotine) . Nicotine concentrations exceeding 24mg / ml are very harmful to the body, so basically no manufacturers have produced them, but customers can do it on their own (please, it’s frightening!)

(3)Nicotine is the first reason for the “throat feeling” of electronic cigarettes. The higher the nicotine concentration in the e-liquid, the stronger the “throat feeling”, but at the same time, it will reduce the taste of the e-liquid.

(4)The main role of nicotine is to relieve smoking addiction and produce a throbbing sensation. And has a certain effect to enhance the taste of e-liquid. Some people talk about “the nicotine discoloration” and think that nicotine is highly toxic. In fact, the nicotine solution contained in e-liquid is not high in concentration. Nicotine, which has been closely linked to “death” and “cancer” for nearly a century, has now received a lot of new attention, and many experts have justified its name. It is believed that the nicotine in cigarettes does not cause too much harm. The real carcinogens are tar, carbon monoxide and more than 4000 kinds of poisonous, harmful and even radioactive substances produced by the burning of cigarettes.

(5)Of course, the harm of nicotine to the body cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is best to gradually reduce the nicotine concentration of e-liquid and quit nicotine dependence as soon as possible. The common nicotine concentration of e-liquid is 0mg, 6mg, 12mg, 18mg. The higher the number, the higher the nicotine concentration per milliliter of e-liquid, and the stronger the throat feel. Of course, the entrance is getting worse. Concentrations that are too high can cause a cough, but also cause stomach pain and dizziness. So if you use the e-cigarette again, if the above phenomenon occurs, please replace the e-liquid with low nicotine concentration. Most people use 6mg of e-liquid, which feels best, meets their needs, has a good throat feel, and is not stingy.

2.Propylene glycol (referred to as PG: Propylene Glycol):

(1)propylene glycol is a common drug and food additive, hygroscopic, slightly sweet, odorless, colorless and transparent, similar to water. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) describes PG as “generally safe for humans.”

(2)PG, as one of the basic components of e-liquid (carrying nicotine and flavors & flavors), is mainly used to “carry most flavor of e-liquid” and produce “a small amount of mist” and “throat”. If you like “big smog”, then the oil PG content you choose should not be too high.

(3)Although PG is generally safe for the human body, a small number of people will still experience some side effects similar to throat discomfort, sputum, and allergies. These side effects are short-lived and mild. As long as you stop smoking or change the PG content of the e-liquid (and some e-liquids are PG-free), it will be fine.

3.Vegetable glycerin (referred to as VG: Vegetable Glycerin):

(1)It is a more common drug and food additive (commonly used to make cakes, chocolates and other sweets), very hygroscopic, sweeter than PG, odorless, colorless and transparent, and fluidity similar to cooking oil.

(2)VG, as one of the basic components of e-liquid (carrying nicotine and flavors & flavors), is mainly used to generate “a large amount of mist.

(3)VG has no side effects on the human body (I have not heard of anyone who is allergic to chocolate), but due to its sticky nature, it will slightly increase the difficulty of cleaning the atomizer.

(4)VG (Vegetable Glycerin), also called vegetable glycerin or glycerin. Like PG, it is also a widely used raw material in daily life. Attentive friends look at the cosmetics, food, wine, sugar around them. The ingredients marked on these packages all have “propylene glycol, glycerol”. People who especially like to eat sweets also consume a lot of VG. Because cakes, biscuits and other sweets, most of them contain VG. The main role of VG in e-liquid is to produce mist.

(5)VG will generate a large amount of mist after heating. Generally friends who use too much smoke or oil drop atomizers should know that if you want to increase the amount of smoke, you need to use product oil and add a large amount of VG to produce the ideal smoke. . VG is highly hygroscopic and very sticky. If the liquidity of an e-liquid is very poor, it must have a high VG ratio. Such e-liquid smoke is very large, the flavor is slightly worse, and the throat feel is weak.
