It’s interesting how electronic cigarettes work and how it can be a non-hazardous alternative to tobacco smoking. What is more interesting is the solution that comes with the device. Real tobacco smoke contains a lot of unsafe chemicals that caused cancer and heart-related problems. Even if the e-juice contains nicotine, the amount is set to non-hazardous level. Electronic juice do not have tar as well which frequent consumption leads to developing halitosis and oral problems.
Electronic cigarettes have three, sometimes two divisions – the atomizer, cartridge, and cartomizer. The atomizer is the part that fires up the nicotine solution, which is more popularly known as the e-liquid or e-juice, contained in the cartridge. The e-juice varies according to nicotine concentration.
If smokers have limited choice due to few variations of nicotine solution, manufacturers thought of ways to satisfy their tongue to help them totally forget about tobacco. They can now create their own recipe and adjust the taste according to their preference.
The e-juice is composed of four basic ingredients: propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavorings, and nicotine. Smokers patronizing the e-cigarette had very limited control over how their e-juice would taste. Today, manufacturers gave smokers the permission to use up their own concoction by selling the ingredients in separate containers. This will allow the users to adjust the level of nicotine concentration in their e-juice.
There are users however who want to create their own flavor and mix but do not know how to calculate. Good thing there are e-juice calculating software available online for free to help them find the right hit.
Electronic juice has been proven to cause no harmful effects in the human system as confirmed by the US Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA) and World Health Organization (WHO). These ingredients can also be found in other Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) drugs like nicotine gum. The flavorings are usually bottled in syrup form. A very small drop of it is needed in the concentration. E-liquid contains the following in particular:
*Fatty acids/Esters (0.3)
*Glycerol (99.8 %)
*pH (7)
*Sulphates (<20ppm)
*Moisture (.13%)
*Chlorinated compounds (<30 ppm)
*Chlorides (<10ppm)
*Heavy metals (<5ppm)
*Specific Gravity (1.29)
Those who have experienced blending their own recipe found it easy and less disappointing given that the e-juice only simulates the taste of tobacco. The flavoring syrup comes really strong that is why only very small amount of it should be dropped in the nicotine concentrate.
E-liquids are largely produced in China and exported to different parts of the globe. They are perfectly safe for inhalation. Quitters find nicotine juice enough to sustain their cravings no matter how heavy smoker they were. The options given to smokers to mix their own e-juice rendered even greater advantage because smokers will never have to look back on tobacco again. It is not a guarantee but it will give smokers a better and safer option in order to get them out of the dangers of developing horrible diseases that put a good life to waste.
