“Smoking is injurious to health” is a universal warning that goes with every cigarette packet sold in India. Despite that, people engage in smoking, knowing the serious implications it can bring to their health.
What are E-cigarettes?
The modern day cigarettes called e-cigarettes have become an alternative source to traditional smoking that brings in some casual vaping fun. A typical e-cigg is actually an electronic technical device that produces vapors by heating nicotine induced flavored liquid called E-juice. You can find most expensive as well as cheap e-juice varieties online today.
E-juice composition and ingredients
E-liquids are comprised of two prominent base substances in order to add smooth smoke flavor, which are PG (Propylene Glycol) and VG (Vegetable Glycerin) in different combinations and strengths.
Propylene Glycol
- PG is a lab generated liquid that is widely used in food items, medicinal drugs and various types of cosmetic products.
- It is a volatile and colorless liquid that makes it absolutely safe component providing the best e-juice flavor one could ever ask for. However, if consumed in excess it can led to chronic lung diseases like asthma and bronchitis.
Vegetable Glycerin
Extracted from palm and soy oils, VG is also referred to as Glycerol. This is the second main component of e-juice after Propylene Glycol. With slightly sweet kin taste, this component adds in a rich consistency to e-juice imparting a real cigarette like flavor!
Flavoring Agents
All e-juice liquids consist of flavoring agents that are mixed in the correct ratio to impart the same feel and flavor that a smoker would crave for! Sometimes distilled water is also used to dilute the concentration of heavy e-juices.
Nicotine
Nicotine is a major component that goes in preparing e-juice. It is mixed in varying proportions which is used to determine the strength of e-juice such as high and low strength varieties.
Today there is a great variety of e-juice available in the markets that come in attractive flavors like sweet drizzle, banana pie and strawberry milkshake. Cut wood which is a leading e-juice brand also offers esiquisite range of e-juices on its official online website.
If you are beginner and haven’t tried a regular cigarette before-juice is not a product for you as it can lead to nicotine addiction. Engaging into e-juice can be considered occasionally but making it a regular practice will bring in health implications that are no less than what can come through traditional smoking.
