Everything, what you need to know about e-liquids simply explained!
No matter, whether you are just starting out with vaping or have been vaping for a while: The E-Liquid is the heart of your experience. Without juice there is no steam! But what is actually in this little bottle?? Is that safe?? And how do you get the most out of your liquid?? We clarify things – without any complicated laboratory German.
1. What exactly is e-liquid??
Imagine your e-cigarette like a small kettle. The e-liquid is the liquid inside. If you pull, it is heated and turns into fine steam, that you breathe in. It's that simple!
2. The ingredients: What are you actually vaping??
no worries, you don't have to be a chemist, to understand that. Almost every liquid consists of only four things:
- VG (Vegetable glycerin): Makes the steam nice and thick and white. It is gentle on the throat.
- PG (Propylene glycol): Carries the taste and provides a “kick” in the throat (similar to a real cigarette).
- Flavors: These ensure that, that your steam smells like strawberry, Mint or tobacco tastes good.
- Nicotine: You can choose for yourself – from “reasonable power” to “completely nicotine-free”.
Did you already know?? VG and PG do sound like chemistry, but also stuck in toothpaste, Skin creams or even in foods like cake and chewing gum.
3. Quality: This is how your liquid is made
A good liquid is not made in the kitchen at home, but under strict rules:
- Cleanliness comes first: In the factory everyone wears hairnets and masks. Dust has no place in the liquid!
- The security check: Before a bottle goes on sale, it will be checked. Are there any pollutants in it?? bacteria? Just something 100 % is pure, is allowed into the shop.
- The “ID” for the bottle: Every bottle has a number (Batch number). This way you can track exactly, when and by whom it was mixed.
4. Profi-Tricks: This is how you save liquid (and money!)
Nobody likes to waste their favorite liquid. Here are two simple tips, how your bottle lasts longer:
- Choose nicotine wisely: If you take a liquid with a little more nicotine, You'll feel full more quickly and draw on the steam less often. This saves the supply.
- The right device: Huge cloud-making devices consume extremely large amounts of juice. If you want to save, Better take a small one Pod-System. They are subtle and use significantly less.
- Store in a dark place: E-liquids don't like direct sunlight. It's better to put them on a shelf or in a drawer, so that the taste stays fresh.
5. Which liquid is right for me??
If you're just transitioning, try one 50/50 Mixing ratio (PG/VG). This works great in almost every device and tastes great.
