When it comes to liquid vape juice, the UK has some of the strictest regulations in the world. That’s because we’re concerned about your health, and want to know that you’re inhaling only ingredients which are safe for your body.
The fluid inside e-cigarettes and vape pens is known as e-liquid or ejuice, and it’s heated in these devices to create the aerosol you inhale during vaping. The liquid comes in a range of different flavours and strengths, and can be mixed with nicotine to create vaping products. However, many people don’t know exactly what they’re inhaling when they puff on a vape, and there are concerns about the chemicals involved.
Unlocking the Flavor Spectrum: A Guide to Liquid Vape Juice
Liquid vape juice contains propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), as well as natural or artificial flavorings. The VG and PG are used to create the aerosol you inhale, while the flavourings give you that delicious taste you’re after. The UK’s e-liquid regulations ensure that all of these ingredients are evenly blended and free of harmful contaminants.
Nicotine is an optional ingredient in e-Liquid, and is sourced from either natural tobacco plants or synthetically from chemicals like ammonia. It’s worth experimenting with nicotine strength to find what satisfies you best, and you can even try nicotine-free e-Liquid if that suits your palate better.
Those who want to blow larger clouds are typically better off with high VG e-Liquids, with ratios such as VG:PG 80:20 or 90:10. These thicker blends can only be used in tanks or devices that can handle them – a higher resistance coil is needed, and a larger battery is also usually required.
