Why Does E Liquid Matter So Much?

By Serena Price


The number of smokers who are switching to the safer alternative is increasing by day, with celebrities and respected leaders both in the governance and corporate scene leading the park. This is not by coincidence considering that electronic cigarette is free of the dangers associated with traditional cigarette but still giving the same if not better level of satisfaction. Before you make a switch, there are a few things you need to be clear about, and the most important one is the E liquid you choose.

The basic components of an electronic cigarette include a cartridge, a battery, an atomizer and the E liquid which is heat to produce vapor that you then inhale. In order to select the best juice for your cartridge however, there are many questions that you must fast answer.

E liquid is the juice in electronic cigarette without which it is not complete. You need it to refill your cig which heat it producing vapor that you inhale. In most cases, it always contains nicotine unless it is specified to be zero nicotine, also indicated as 0mg/ml. Other contents include water, flavorings and some base liquid which may be PG (Propylene Glycol), VG (Glycerine) or PEG 400 (Polyethylene Glycol). While PG remains the most common, those sensitive to PG and do not like the sweetness of VG always go for PEG 400.

The next question is about the strength of juice to go far. The most basic answer to this question is to determine your level of smoking, In case you finish a packet or two in a day, then you are a heavy smoker and your juice should contain more nicotine. It is important to understand that nicotine is poisonous and as such, must be used in moderation.

Here is the general guide on nicotine concentration. There is a nicotine free juice labeled as 0mg/ml targeting those who already quite smoking but still have the oral fixation. There is a range of 6mg/ml-12mg/ml for light smokers, 18mg/ml-24mg/ml for medium smokers and 30mg/ml-36mg/ml for heavy smokers. If you are trying it for the first time, it is very important that you seek help and guidance from a professional and you might have to consult a doctor particularly for pregnant ladies, breast feeding mothers and those with chronic diseases.

Rather than having to purchase refill cartridges so often, you can mix your own juice or order the brand of choice, add a few drops into your cartridge when empty and a drop directly to atomizer and you are ready to go. This is a way of cutting budget as one cartridge can be used and reused several times.

You might be among that group that would rather steep their own juice. In case you prefer this option. There are many guides available for you both in magazines and in the net. You just need to understand that it is a matter of trial and error. Either way, it is a better way as you will can easily fills the cartridge by dropping 2-3 drops of juice into the atomizer and save a lot of money as a result.

Currently, there are several companies that deal in electronic cigarettes and you can get the brand of choice from the stores or even order them online. It is however important to do your homework to ensure that you select the best E liquid in terms of flavor and the nicotine level.
