A must-read for vapers: What makes an e-liquid qualified?

What kind of e-liquid qualifies as acceptable? One of the most important components of an e-cigarette is the e-liquid, so buying qualified e-liquid is extremely important. Poor-quality e-liquid may harm our health and can contain many carcinogens, making it even more harmful than cigarettes. So here, I’d like to explain how to choose e-liquid.

E-liquid is made up of VG (vegetable glycerin), PG (propylene glycol), flavorings, and nicotine. VG is a common pharmaceutical and food additive, widely used in cakes, chocolate, and other sweets, and it generally has no significant side effects on the human body. It is colorless and odorless. PG is used to dilute the viscosity of VG and is also a common pharmaceutical and food additive that is generally considered safe for the human body. Flavorings are the key factor that create the wide variety of e-liquid tastes and provide the flavor satisfaction people enjoy from vaping devices. Many foods we eat every day also contain flavorings. It is not hard to see that these three ingredients are not inherently harmful; they are often used in foods and everyday products. In fact, children’s toothpaste contains all three ingredients, and some toddler toothpaste labels even state that swallowing it is safe.

That leaves only one final ingredient—nicotine. Earlier controversies raised questions about excessive nicotine levels in e-liquid. For vaping products, e-liquid can be said to be the most important component, and it is also currently one of the biggest issues in the domestic market, especially as the main consumable for e-cigarette users. However, the market is flooded with all kinds of e-liquids, both domestic and imported, making it overwhelming. Some low-quality or deceptive products have trapped many beginners. In the industry, people often refer to new e-cigarette users as having “fallen into the pit,” and these problematic e-liquids certainly deserve some of the “credit” for that.

So, what kind of e-liquid can be considered qualified?

First: Healthy and safe

Nowadays, every industry talks about food safety, and the government is also paying great attention to it. E-liquid is a product comparable to food in terms of what goes into the body. If a blended e-liquid is not healthy and safe, then everything else is meaningless.

Second: Does not cause dry mouth

E-liquid is used frequently, so if it causes dry mouth, the experience is poor. Taking a few puffs and then needing water every time is not normal.

Third: Does not cause dizziness

If the nicotine strength is high, using too much may cause dizziness. Many people may also feel dizzy at first simply because they are not used to it. These situations are relatively easy to deal with. But if a particular e-liquid makes you dizzy for other reasons, that is likely a quality issue.

Fourth: Does not cause mouth irritation

Many people have probably experienced this. After using it, the inside of the lips may become ulcerated, and even mildly spicy food becomes hard to eat. Once you stop using it, the problem goes away.

Fifth: Full-bodied aroma

A rich, full aroma is very important in an e-liquid. After inhaling or exhaling, if the flavor does not feel full, it leaves an empty sensation.

Sixth: Clean-looking e-liquid color

In China, appearance, aroma, and taste have always mattered when it comes to what we consume. If the color of an e-liquid does not look clean and seems to contain impurities, it feels unhygienic and reduces the desire to use it.

Seventh: Not overly fragrant

Some e-liquids are so intensely aromatic that after trying them once, you never want to use them again. That is clearly not normal.

Eighth: Does not make you nauseous

Similar to the seventh point, if using it makes people feel nauseous, they are unlikely to want to use it again.

Ninth: Does not affect appetite

Some e-liquids can affect appetite and make people not want to eat after using them. This is also not normal.

What kind of e-liquid is considered qualified? After reading the information above, I believe everyone now has a basic understanding. When using e-cigarettes, buying qualified e-liquid is crucial, so be sure to use the points above when choosing your e-liquid. Official e-cigarette e-liquid purchase channel WeChat: vapeos.
