If you are interested in vaping, or vaping electronic cigarettes, then you have decided to give up conventional products of the tobacco industry, and possibly nicotine addiction in general. This is certainly an act worthy of praise and great gratitude from both your body and the people around you. But while quitting nicotine is still in the future, let's talk about the main consumable used in the vaping process - the liquid that is refilled with e-cigarettes.
What is this liquid and what does it consist of?
So, liquid for electronic cigarettes is a substance that is poured into a special cartridge. Once turned on, the e-cigarette sends the composition to the atomizer, whose heating element is responsible for the evaporation of the liquid and turning it into a fragrant vapor. You will inhale it. Note: steam, not smoke, which, in addition to nicotine, also contains a huge list of harmful tobacco combustion products(about 4000)! And this is the first good news in our conversation about e-liquid, which is not at all difficult to buy today thanks to the variety of manufacturers, brands and specialized outlets.
E-liquid usually has 4 main ingredients:
- Propylene glycol is a colorless viscous liquid that serves as the basis for many medicines and cosmetics or is present in their composition as a disinfecting component. Approved for use and as a dietary supplement.
- Glycerin is a colorless oily liquid that is used both in the manufacture of cosmetics and in the manufacture of confectionery and bakery products. For example, glycerin improves the consistency of chocolate, prevents the bread from quickly stale, and pasta from sticking together during cooking.
- Nicotine is a substance that harms the body, and no one will convince you. However, the degree of harm caused is determined by the amount of nicotine consumed and the level of its purification in the production process. In comparison, e-liquid contains about the same proportion of nicotine as a medical patch or chewing gum, and the nicotine used is of the highest purity. But there are also nicotine-free liquids, which are usually chosen by those who have already got rid of addiction, but still feel cravings for the “ritual” itself.
- Flavorings are components that make e-liquid "tasty". Popular flavors are tobacco,coffee, fruit, and also very unusual, for example, grilled chicken or Red Bull. Here everyone decides for himself, according to his taste preferences. Let's just make a reservation that the flavorings that the liquid for electronic cigarettes contain are not "solid harmful chemistry", but permitted additives, which in most cases are of natural origin.
A few more facts for comparison
Most often, novice vapers are interested in how much nicotine contains e-liquid. What strength composition is better for novice vipers to buy, and what composition is better for people who are already almost free from nicotine addiction? The liquid can contain both 0 and 8 and all 36 mg of nicotine per 1 ml. It is not difficult to guess that the latter characteristic refers to the strongest compounds that are usually used to dilute lighter liquids.
Heavy smokers, aka new vapers, usually opt for 18mg/ml formulations. On average, 1 ml of liquid is consumed per day, but keep in mind that not all 18 mg of nicotine enter the body, but only 30-50%, that is, a maximum of 9 mg. For comparison: a person who prefers Marlboro lungs will receive after 10 cigarettes smoked 4 mg of nicotine + 40 mg of tar and carcinogens. And this despite the fact that for heavy smokers a pack (20 cigarettes) per day is not the limit!
