The heart of e-cigarettes and vaping is the e-juice. It is also commonly called an e-liquid. This is the product that contains the flavor and nicotine. Due to vaping’s immense popularity there are a wide variety of e-juice flavors available. The best quality e-juice product is a premium lab created e-juice.
E-juices are made in a lab into a pre-mixed liquid. Premium lab created e-juices are made in a controlled manufacturing environment by trained technicians. The ingredients used are FDA approved and USP high grade products. Quality ingredients produce a smooth, premium e-juice.
The base of e-juices are usually made up of a combination of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG). This mixture creates a nice, smooth base. Propylene glycol is a compound often used in food products. It is used as a flavor carrier in foods, an ingredient in food coloring and also an additive in many medications.
Vegetable glycerin is a plant based substance. It is also known as vegetable glycerol. Global Healing Center states that vegetable glycerin is a clear, odorless liquid that is produced from plant oils including palm, coconut and soy. Its texture can be compared to an oil or syrup. Vegetable glycerin that is used in household products or used in foods must be USP grade. This is 99% pure vegetable glycerin. Vegetable glycerin can be used in lotions, shampoos and toothpastes.
Three Other ingredients that can be found in e-juices include water, flavorings and nicotine. The different flavorings are composed of natural or artificial food products. USP food grade flavorings are used in premium lab produced e-juices. The amount of nicotine in e-juices varies and can be from 0mg to 24mg.
E-juices are light sensitive products. Lab produced e-juices are carefully manufactured and bottled in colored containers to protect the liquids from sunlight. Expiration dates along with the date manufactured are on the packaging to ensure freshness of the products when purchased. Trying out new flavors is great way to experience all that e-juices have to offer. Consider buying new flavors in small quantities until you are sure the flavor works for you. Look for e-juices in both refillable and prefilled cartridges.
Lab produced e-juice flavors come in many different types and brands. Flavors can range from the simple fruit flavor to the exotic. They also include flavors such as tobacco and menthol for a more traditional cigarette-like smoking experience. E-juices with higher vegetable glycerin content, also called high VG flavors, are a great alternative base for vape smokers who may be allergic to propylene glycol. Higher VG flavors produce a larger vapor cloud than lower VG e-juices. You can mix and match lab produced e-juices for unique combinations of flavors.
