What Are Vape Liquids? - Types, Storage, and Flavours

 

E-liquids, vape liquids, and e-juice are the same thing - just different ways to refer to the same product. An e-cigarette heats the e-liquid into a vapour that is inhaled. 

The growth of vaping has been tremendous. When vaping first started, e-cigarette cartridges contained the e-liquid. With the introduction of vape tanks and vape mods, vaping has evolved into an entire multi-million-pound industry. 

In 2020, there are close to one-hundred vaping brands in the United Kingdom. Naturally, though, not every brand is created equally

Consumers need to know that they are only consuming the highest-quality vape liquids in the UK. The manufacturing process in the UK needs to adhere to the most stringent quality criteria manufactured using premium-quality materials. Unfortunately, poor-quality vape liquids are sold in the UK that can be harmful to your health. 

The vaping liquid you choose needs to be prepared under highly professional and clean laboratory settings. Blending E-liquid ingredients need extensive training and expertise in areas of chemistry. Almost all the ingredients used in vape liquids are food safe. 

How are E-liquids created?

One area of interest about vape liquids is how the e-liquid is created? Two key ingredients are responsible for this. Those ingredients are Vegetable Glycerin (VG) and Propylene Glycol (PG). Other two elements are flavouring and nicotine - VG and PG account for around 10% of the entire vape liquid composition. 

Three out of the four main vape liquid ingredients are food safe. As far as the nicotine in e-liquids is concerned, it is usually derived from tobacco plants and is of a pharmaceutical grade.

Types of e-liquid:

        PG E-liquid

        VG E-liquid

        Hemp Oil Vape E-Liquid

        Salt Nicotine E-Liquid 

One question that most beginner vapers ask is if vape liquid will taste like actual cigarettes?

The short answer is: no.

Since there is an absence of combustion, a vape liquid can't have a real cigarette's flavour. However, there are numerous unique flavours available in brands like Nasty Juice, Oplus e-liquid, DIY e-liquids and Anarchist e-liquid. 

Keep in mind, though, that the same flavour might vary from brand to brand. So, for instance, if you like a strawberry flavour from one brand, you might not like it from another. 

Let's briefly discuss the three brands mentioned above. 

How To Store Vape Liquids? 

E-liquids should be in dry, cool conditions, with no direct sunlight exposure. To reduce exposure, a lot of manufacturers make use of coloured glass containers and bottles to minimise sunlight exposure. For most vape liquids, the bottle has the manufacture and expiry date. Most juices expire within a couple of years of the date of manufacturing. Make sure that you keep e-liquids out of reach from children and pets.

Flavours in e-liquid:

As mentioned, most vape liquid flavours are food-grade safe. However, not every e-liquid is compatible with vape liquids. For instance, certain ingredients might not be suited for vaporisation. Hence, make sure to buy e-liquids from a professional brand that blends e-liquids and bottles them under professional lab conditions. 

Thoroughly understanding e-liquid ingredients requires highly trained chemists and state-of-the-art sterile facilities. 

Conclusion:

Some flavourings used in e-liquids contain diacetyl and other diketones to provide a buttery, creamy taste. At high levels of exposure, diacetyl has been associated with bronchiolitis obliterans, a serious lung disease.

In the UK, diacetyl is banned as an ingredient in e-cigarettes and e-liquids, and even when present, the concentration is present at levels hundreds of times lower than in cigarette smoke. 

Many reputable brands such as Anarchist e-liquid, Nasty Juice, DIY e-liquid, and Oplus e-liquid create their e-liquids in registered and approved facilities. They have created exceptional tasting e-liquids, to very high standards. Always chose an e-liquid brand that made for UK standards.

Surprising Health Benefits of CBD TEA

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound found in the C annabis Sativa plant. It is often confused with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is another compound of the same plant.
