Electronic cigarettes today are becoming increasingly popular, actively displacing conventional cigarettes from the market. What is the reason for this?
Pros of an electronic cigarette
Firstly, according to the law, which entered into force in 2013, smoking in public places is prohibited, which makes many smokers uncomfortable. Secondly, if you count, then an electronic cigarette, bought once, saves a fairly round amount of money in a fairly short time. Thirdly, although nicotine is also present in e-cigarette liquids (there are nicotine-free options), smoking an electronic cigarette can be considered less harmful than smoking a regular cigarette containing many substances that are even more harmful to health. And, of course, the smell of an electronic cigarette is almost invisible compared to the terrible smell of smoke produced by a smoker.
Electronic Cigarette Liquids
The composition of liquids for electronic cigarettes, as a rule, includes a base consisting of propylene glycol (abbreviated as PG), glycerin (VG) and distilled water (AD). Any of these components is used in medicine, cosmetology and recipes. Therefore, harm in their use as such simply can not be. Propylene glycol is the main carrier of taste, glycerin creates a visual sensation of vapor, and water is a solvent that makes the liquid less viscous to facilitate passage through the vaporizer of an electronic cigarette. There are also a variety of additives that are used to enhance and soften the taste, create a greater "credibility" of smoking and bring the taste and aroma of an electronic cigarette closer to a regular cigarette. And just the flavorings for electronic cigarettes, added to liquids, are the main ingredient that helps a smoker if not quit smoking completely, then switch to electronic cigarettes with the least discomfort. They have a variety of tastes and aromas.
Fragrances for liquid electronic cigarettes
Flavors are natural (food) and artificial. The difference between them is not so great, but it is. Food flavors for electronic cigarettes do not have such a large selection compared to artificially created ones, although they are usually more expensive. In artificially synthesized, there is nothing to worry about, since even in the food industry such flavorings are consumed and do not carry any particular danger. In addition, the choice of artificial analogues is an order of magnitude greater, and if desired, everyone can choose a flavor that is fully consistent with their personal taste.
Variety of Flavors for an Electronic Cigarette
Liquids are tobacco, fruit (or berry) and with the taste of popular drinks. Here the difference between them is clear by name. Tobacco flavors for electronic cigarettes convey the closest taste and aroma of a regular cigarette and most often have names that are consonant with the brand of cigarettes. At the same time, some manufacturers may change one or two letters in the name, but the essence of this does not change much, and any smoker can easily find his "favorite" cigarettes in the assortment of liquids for electronic cigarettes. There are also liquids with the tastes of famous cigars.
Menthol or fruit, berry or, for example, coffee flavors are offered by stores selling everything for electronic cigarettes, in a fairly large assortment, so you can choose your favorite flavor or take something new to try. But you should not, when choosing for yourself flavors for electronic cigarettes, consider the feedback of other users as the main factor for choosing, since the taste of each is individual, and what one liked, may not like the other.
Nicotine in electronic cigarettes
Any smoker will confirm that the presence of nicotine in cigarettes is the main indicator for “completeness of sensations”. Its quantity is indicated on each package of cigarettes. Some smoke strong cigarettes, while others smoke light cigarettes. But it is wrong to believe that “light” cigarettes are less harmful. They contain the same amount of harmful oils, and sometimes even more than strong cigarettes. However, when smoking an electronic cigarette, the amount of nicotine in the liquid also matters.
Liquids for electronic cigarettes are sold that have varying degrees of strength. They on their packaging also have information about the amount of nicotine in them, which is indicated in milligrams per milliliter. There are liquids containing nicotine 24, 16, 8, 6, or 0. Each manufacturer has their own line of tastes, there are liquids with different amounts of nicotine, and the flavors for electronic cigarettes are the same. In case you are just starting to smoke an electronic cigarette, it is recommended to buy a liquid of 16 or 8 mg / ml, and for heavy smokers who prefer strong cigarettes and smoke more than a pack per day, 24 mg / ml. In the future, if smoking an electronic cigarette involves a complete cessation of smoking, you can reduce the amount of nicotine by buying less strong liquids or diluting the nicotine-free liquid with nicotine-free options.
