The heart and soul of e-cigarettes and vaping is the e-juice. Also known as e-liquid, this is the product that holds all the flavor. Because of the popularity of vaping there are a variety of brands and flavors available. One of the highest quality products is a premium lab created e-juice.
Lab produced e-juices are made in manufacturing facilities that have a controlled environment to ensure quality products. They are created by trained technicians. For a premium finished product, FDA approved and USP high grade ingredients are used. The finished product is a smooth e-juice base. Lower quality e-juices can be inconsistent in their textures and flavors.
The two important ingredients in the base of the e-juice are USP propylene glycol (PG) and SUP vegetable glycerin (VG). A mixture of the two products creates a smooth base. Propylene glycol is often used in common food products. It is used as a flavor carrier in foods, an ingredient in food coloring and an additive in many medications.
Vegetable glycerin, as stated by Global Healing Center, is a clear, odorless liquid. It is produced from plant oils such as palm, coconut or soy. The texture can be compared to an oil or syrup. Household products and foods are required to have only USP grade vegetable glycerin as an ingredient. This is 99% pure vegetable glycerin product. It can be used in lotions, shampoos and toothpastes.
Other ingredients in an e-juice can include water, flavorings and nicotine. The flavorings are made from natural or artificial products. Premium e-juices made in a lab have USP food grade flavor ingredients. The amount of nicotine in an e-juice varies. They can have levels of nicotine from 0mg to 24mg. Anything above 24mg is not recommended.
Being light sensitive e-juices are bottled in colored containers that protect them from harsh lights. They are manufactured in facilities that are light controlled. Their containers have expiration dates and manufactured dates on them to ensure you are buying the freshest product available. When buying e-juices it’s best to purchase new flavors in smaller quantities. This is to ensure you don’t have bottles of e-juices you don’t like.
There are many flavors of lab produced e-juices. They can be fruity or exotic. The flavors also may include tobacco and menthol flavors for vape smokers trying to quit traditional tobacco cigarettes. Some e-juices are considered high VG flavor, or have a higher vegetable glycerin content. This is a good alternative product for vape smokers who may be allergic or sensitive to propylene glycol. E-juices with a higher VG level produce a larger vapor cloud. Go ahead and mix and match lab produced e-juices for unique flavors to fit your specific tastes.
