What is vape juice? If you are a beginner in vaping, you are probably wondering what this thing is.
Vape juice is also known as e-juice, e-liquid, or e-cig juice. It is a specific combination of liquid contained in a tank of vape where it will be heated so that fumes are produced.
Vape liquid can be refilled and it has various different tastes and smells. So, vapers can choose the one that meets their favorites.
Vape liquid usually has fruity flavors, such as blueberries, bananas, watermelons, lychees, grapes, apples, and so on.
But there are also the ones that have food or drink flavors, such as cheesecakes, martini, chocolate, coffee, vanilla, mint, Mocca, and many more.
The Composition of Vape Juice
The ingredients contained in vape juice are flavorings, Propylene Glycol, and vegetable glycerin. Vape juice can contain nicotine or not because nicotine is optional.
Vapers can choose vape liquid with various levels of mixing standards and different nicotine concentrations.
Generally, 80% to 90% of the ingredients contained in vape juice is the combination of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. And the rest is flavorings.
Propylene glycol is made from thick, colorless, and soluble organic ingredients. They are sweet and do not have a strong smell.
Propylene glycol functions to produce fumes but do not give too many throat hit effects. While vegetable glycerin is made from odorless, sweet, thick, and colored plant oils.
It acts as a solvent, sweetener, and balancer so that vapers can vape smoothly. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has claimed that propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are safe to be consumed in the food and pharmacy industry.
Vape liquid does not contain tar that can trigger lung irritations, throat irritations, cancer, or make your teeth yellow.
It is because vape juice does not contain addictive contents that can danger vapers’ health or make them addicted.
Moreover, the thicker the vape juice, the thicker the smoke produced by the vape. If you want to refill the vape juice, you are suggested to refill it only a half of the vape tank. If you refill it too full, the vape liquid will get into the center of the tube so that the smoke produced will decrease.
Before refilling the vape juice into the vape tank, shake the vape juice bottle first because the vegetable glycerin is collected in the bottom.
That is the answer to the question of what is vape juice.
