WHAT IS VAPE JUICE
E-liquids consist of a medium, an aroma, alcohol, water. It may contain, or not, nicotine, at higher or lower concentrations:
Propylene Glycol
and Vegetable Glycerin are the bases used to produce steam. Indeed, these liquids have the property of vaporizing at low temperature (± 60 ° C) forming a vapor giving the illusion of cigarette smoke.
A mixture of these two products that have different properties is usually used: glycerine produces more steam, but its sweet taste can distort aromas and its viscosity can foul the atomizers, so it is most often used in lower proportion . Propylene glycol, however, if it produces less steam than glycerine, instead promotes the “hit”: this pleasant contraction of the throat to the passage of steam that really gives the feeling of “smoking”.
Water and alcohol serve to fluidify mixtures, alcohol also serves to promote the “hit.” Alcohol and water are generally not used in proportion greater than 5% in total.
Finally, nicotine is pure liquid nicotine obtained by extraction of tobacco leaves.
Be careful, some liquids may contain diacetyl. Diacetyl (or artificial aroma of butter) is a harmless ingredient when swallowed but can, if inhaled in high doses, induce severe bronchial disease. All our e-liquids are free of diacetyl.
Important: our e-liquids do not contain the following components: ambrox, paraben, ionized ingredients, corn derivatives, GMOs or GMO derivatives, cereals and derivatives containing gluten, soya and derivatives, crustaceans, molluscs, fish and derivatives, eggs, milk and derivatives, nuts and derivatives, sesame seeds, lupine and derivatives, sulphites, celery and derivatives, mustard and derivatives, peanuts and derivatives.
Aromas give their flavor to steam: they can try to get closer to tobacco, however, do not expect to find exactly the taste of your cigarettes: no aroma can reproduce the sensation or temperature of combustion.
Which e-liquid to choose?
It is important to find the nicotine dosage that corresponds to the one you have used your body.
A dosage too low may make you feel a state of lack, too strong a dosage can lead to headaches, dizziness, etc. In both cases, you would be quickly dissatisfied and quickly tired of your e-cigarette.
Important: the chosen e-cigarette model, by the volume of steam it generates with each puff, is also a factor to consider.
The simplest way to choose the nicotine concentration of your e-liquid is to refer to the type of cigarettes you are used to smoking (strong, light, “ultra-light”, ..). The daily number of cigarettes smoked will determine the frequency of use of your e-cigarette.
In terms of taste, several flavors are available. A 10ml vial costs less than a pack of cigarettes and corresponds to about 180 ~ 200 traditional cigarettes. You can easily indulge yourself by changing aromas, without breaking the bank.
Are e-liquids dangerous for your health?
Apart from nicotine, all the components of our e-liquids have proven to be safe for health when they are absorbed into the food (cold, at room temperature, heated) or put in contact with the skin.
The doubt regarding their use, and more particularly propylene glycol and glycerin, lies in the absence of scientific studies demonstrating or not their innocence when inhaled in the form of steam.
Propylene glycol:
it is a chemical made by the reaction of propylene oxide with water. For decades propylene glycol has had an unsurpassed reputation for safe use in a wide range of consumer products, including food products, animal feed, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, as well as industrial applications.
Propylene glycol production is monitored throughout the manufacturing process to the point of delivery. A high level of product quality, and compliance with stringent hygiene conditions, qualifies propylene glycol USP / EP (pharmaceutical grade) for use in health applications.
The authorities confirm the safety of propylene glycol. Several international authorities have studied the safety of propylene glycol. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety, have published risk assessments that indicate the very low toxicity of propylene glycol. If propylene glycol is used in pharmaceutical applications, strict specifications for quality as presented in the European Pharmacopoeia should be followed. European consumer health authorities have approved the use of propylene glycol with food: in direct food contact (Directive 95/2 / EC and amendments) as additive E1520; in indirect food contact (Directive 2002/72 / EC and amendments) concerning plastics and articles intended to come into contact.
In the human body, propylene glycol is rapidly metabolized and excreted. Its metabolic pathway is comparable to that of sugar: propylene glycol is rapidly converted to lactic acid, in a similar way to what occurs with sugar (energy) in muscles during sports, propylene glycol is, therefore, naturally present in our body. It is excreted via the urine.
In the environment, tests have shown that propylene glycol is readily biodegradable. Studies show that propylene glycol has a very low degree of toxicity. From a toxicological point of view, alcohol is more toxic than the same amount of propylene glycol.
