What Is an E-liquid?

E-liquid is an essential component of electronic cigarettes, an electronic device used to inhale vapour. It consists of a liquid specially designed to be vapourised and inhaled by the user. 

 

Vapers can enjoy a wide selection of e-liquids, offering a variety of flavours and nicotine levels, giving them many different options to choose from. X-Bar tells you all about e-liquids!

 

What Is an E-liquid Made Of?

 

An e-liquid is made from four ingredients:

 

  • Vegetable Glycerine (VG)
  • Propylene Glycol (PG) 
  • Flavourings
  • Nicotine

 

Vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol are the base for the mixture and the vaporisation of the other ingredients. 

 

What Is Vegetable Glycerine?

 

Vegetable glycerine is a sweet, viscous liquid derived from plants. When inhaled, it creates a smooth sensation and produces a dense vapour.

 

What Is Propylene Glycol?

 

Propylene glycol is more fluid and provides a better distribution of flavours. It also creates a “throat hit” sensation similar to the smoke of a traditional cigarette.

 

The Role of Flavourings

 

The flavourings are what give the e-liquid its taste. They’re available in a wide range of flavours, from fruit to desserts and soft drinks, and are made from food-grade ingredients. They’re specially designed to be safely inhaled. 

 

With or without Nicotine?

 

The nicotine is optional in e-liquid. Liquid nicotine is extracted from tobacco or synthesised and then incorporated into the e-liquid. In fact, nicotine is responsible for the dependency associated with smoking traditional cigarettes. It’s present in e-liquids in different concentrations, allowing you to choose different nicotine levels according to your goals: quitting or reducing your nicotine consumption. 

 

How to Use E-liquid?

 

E-liquid is used in electronic cigarettes, disposable puff cigarettes, and refillable puff cigarettes. These devices include a battery, a reservoir, or a pod housing the e-liquid, a heating element, and a mouthpiece for vaping. 

 

Did you know? To refill your reusable puff e-cigarette with e-liquid, you can change the pods once they’re empty and reuse your puff several times. However, if your puff blinks, it may indicate that the battery is low or that the pod is empty and needs to be replaced.

 

When you activate the battery, the heating element raises the e-liquid’s temperature inside the reservoir, turning it into vapour. You then inhale this vapour through the mouthpiece provided, creating a similar experience to traditional cigarette smoke without the many harmful chemicals found in tobacco smoke.

 

The Benefits of E-liquid: An Alternative to Traditional Cigarettes

 

Multiple Flavours

 

E-liquid has several advantages over traditional cigarettes. It gives you the opportunity to personalise your experience by discovering new flavours without the unpleasant aftertaste of tobacco smoke.

 

Protecting Your Health

 

Unlike burning tobacco, using an electronic cigarette does not produce the tar, carbon monoxide, or other toxic substances found in the smoke from traditional cigarettes. As a result, vaping is considered a potentially less harmful alternative for smokers looking to reduce the risks associated with smoking.

 

Better Control over Nicotine Consumption

 

The different concentrations of nicotine available allow you to gradually reduce your dosage, which can be useful if your goal is to wean yourself off nicotine or reduce your dependency.

FAQ

How Do I Fill an Electronic Cigarette with E-liquid?

 

To fill an electronic cigarette with e-liquid: 

  • Unscrew the reservoir at the top of the device to access the filling chamber
  • Tilt the reservoir as you slowly pour in the e-liquid, so it flows down the sides, avoiding the central tube
  • Close the reservoir, making sure it’s airtight to avoid any e-liquid leak 
  • If you have just changed the heating element: wait a few minutes to allow the e-liquid to soak into the new heating element. This will prevent a burnt taste when you use it for the first time
  • Clean up any traces of e-liquid to avoid all contact with skin or sensitive surfaces

 

How Do I Choose the Right E-liquid?

 

If you’re a former smoker or you’re looking for a similar sensation to a traditional cigarette, you should choose an e-liquid with a suitable nicotine concentration. Nicotine concentrations vary from low (3 mg/ml) to high (18 mg/ml.) You can also choose nicotine-free e-liquids. 

 

The PG/VG ratio is an important factor. In fact, the relative composition of vegetable glycerine (VG) and propylene glycol (PG) in an e-liquid can affect mouthfeel and the amount of vapour produced. E-liquids containing a larger proportion of VG produce denser vapour with a smoother feel, whereas those with a higher quantity of PG can offer a stronger throat sensation and a more intense flavour. 

 

Choose the flavour that suits your tastes! E-liquids come in an infinite variety of flavours. Explore the different options to find the one that fits you best. Ideally, choose e-liquids from reputable brands that are authorities in their field for a safe vaping experience: discover X-Bar’s products!
