What Are E-Liquids?
From the bold taste of tobacco to Juicy tropical flavors, e-liquids play a major role in the sensation we get from vaping. It can also be referred to as e-juice or vape juice.
It is the substance in vape devices responsible for delivering flavor and nicotine.
The nicotine content in E-liquids can vary from high to low - to absolute zero. That’s right, not all e-liquids contain nicotine.
With an extensive array of flavors to choose from, e-liquids offer vapers a wide range of options to enjoy. At Oreco® our flavors include but are not limited to; watermelon ice, grape ice, blackcurrant ice, yogurt, root beer, strawberry ice cream, crème caramel, RY4, Blue Razz, Litchi ice, mint sprite ice, strawberry kiwi, rainbow candy, strawberry watermelon, honeydew peach, sour apple, aloe grape ice, passions fruit lemon, lemon mint, and strawberry banana.
Let's dive in a little deeper!
What Are E-Liquids Made Of?
As stated earlier, E-liquids are the solutions in vapes that play a major role in creating vapor. They consist of a mixture of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), flavorings, water, and often-time nicotine.
Propylene glycol and vegetable Glycerin acts as the e-liquid’s base – they help distribute flavor and nicotine throughout the liquid. The food-grade flavorings are added to give your e-liquid that great taste. They are just the same as flavorings used in products such as your favorite ice cream, soft drinks, and some dairy products. This flavoring offers a wide range of tastes and aromas. You have a wide variety of options, from delectable desserts to luscious fruit, classic tobacco, and invigorating menthol flavors among others to make vaping an enjoyable experience.
Choosing Flavor.
There are thousands of e-liquid flavors to choose from. Choosing the right one comes down to your preference. For beginners, we recommend starting with something simple, perhaps something fruity then, as time goes on, you might want to progress to conventional flavors like tobacco.
But then again, it all comes down to user preference.
How Does E-Liquid Work?
Now that we are much more familiar with the content of e-liquid let's dive even deeper to understand how e-liquids work.
By now, you must be thinking “How does this liquid turn into vapor we inhale?”
In order for e-liquids to be converted into inhalable vapors, it is heated by an atomizer. This heat from the atomizer causes the liquid to transform into vapor (as every liquid should when heated). It then vaporizes into an aerosol that can be inhaled.
The vapor created from the heated e-liquids is drawn into your mouth and lungs and then exhaled out. The process is similar to smoking cigarettes but without harmful by-products or combustion like traditional cigarettes, this time around, it is just vapor.
5 Things to avoid doing with E-liquids.
While e-liquids are generally safe, it is still important to take precautions to prevent any harm or damage. To ensure your safety, keep in mind the following tips:
1. Ingestion:
Although e-liquids give that amazing taste you get while vaping, it’s important to note that e-liquids are designed for inhalation, and as such, they should not be ingested. Swallowing e-liquids directly can lead to nicotine poisoning.
Depending on the nicotine level in the e-liquid ingested, it can cause symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and seizure.
If you accidentally swallow e-liquid, rinse your mouth with water and seek immediate medical attention.
2. Mixing E-Liquids with Other Substances:
It is important to note that mixing e-liquids with other substances, such as alcohol or perhaps another e-liquid can pose significant risks. Such practices can lead to the production of harmful by-products.
Therefore, it is strongly advised to avoid mixing e-liquids with any other substances to ensure a safe vaping experience.
3. Storing in direct sunlight or in hot temperatures:
Your devices should be stored in cool and dry places, avoiding direct exposure to direct sunlight.
Direct exposure to sunlight can cause e-liquids to degrade, leading to a loss of flavor and quality.
We recommend storing your device in a cool place away from direct sunlight or hot temperatures.
4. Directly Heating E-Liquid with An Open Flame:
Similar to what we discussed above, E-liquids should never be heated with an open flame, as this can cause the e-liquid to ignite and potentially cause a fire.
5. Keep Away from Children or Pets:
It’s crucial to prioritize the safety and well-being of both children and pets.
E-liquid poses a significant risk to their health. We highly advise keeping all vape devices securely stored and out of reach of children and pets.
Together we can create a safe environment for everyone.
Conclusion:
The amazing flavors and sensations of e-liquids make vaping enjoyable and captivating. With a wide array of flavors, nicotine options, and impressive vapor production, e-liquids provide an exceptional and enjoyable vaping experience. However, it is paramount to adhere to the safety tip given above. By doing so, you vape in a safe and responsible manner.
