The main components of e-liquid are edible or pharmaceutical grade vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol, as well as special flavors. Some e-liquids also contain nicotine, mainly to make their taste more similar to cigarettes.
1. Nicotine
Nicotine, commonly known as nicotine, is an alkaloid that exists in Solanaceae plants (Solanum) and is also an important component of tobacco. In e-liquid, nicotine will also produce the same dependence as nicotine in cigarettes. Nicotine replacement therapy is a non-tobacco form, small doses of nicotine preparations with good safety, replacing nicotine in tobacco, and slowly reducing the nicotine content in the e-liquid used, which can reduce dependence on nicotine.
2. What is PG
PG means PG means Propylene Glycol, Chinese name is propylene glycol. Propylene Glycol, a petroleum derivative made from the hydration of propylene oxide, is a versatile ingredient used in over 4000 products and formulations in the cosmetic and beauty industries as a moisturizer, skin conditioner, fragrance Essential oil carrier, solvent and viscosity reducer. It is also a commonly used food additive and is also found in deodorants, toothpastes, mouthwashes, tobacco products, and other industrial products such as antifreeze and brake fluid. The main role in e-liquid is the flavor carrier, which is a very important presence in e-liquid components.
3. What is VG
VG refers to Vegetable Glycerin, Chinese name is vegetable glycerin. Glycerin is a sweetener and humectant commonly used in the food processing industry, mostly found in sports foods and milk replacers. Glycerin is widely used in the food industry for two main reasons: it has a sweet taste but is lower in calories than sugar; and it absorbs moisture and absorbs moisture from the air. The vegetable glycerin is used in the production of e-liquid because of the demand for smoke production. Generally speaking, the higher the VG content, the larger and thicker the smoke produced by the e-liquid.
