Answer: PG (Propylene Glycol), also known as propylene glycol, is a common drug and food additive. It has hygroscopic moisture absorption, slightly sweetness, colorless and odorless transparent liquid, and has good fluidity. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines PG as "common to human health." Of course, there is also a saying - PG is slightly poisonous.
One of the basic components of PG as an electronic E-liquid is to act as a carrier for the fragrance or to enhance the mouthfeel of the E-liquid. After heating, it will produce a small amount of mist with a certain sense of throat. There is also a dilution of VG, which reduces the viscosity of the E-liquid and improves the effect of the oil guiding to avoid burning the atomized core.

These side effects are short-lived and mild, as long as you stop or change the PG content of E-liquid or E-liquid symptoms without PG will naturally disappear.

5. Question: Does E-liquid contain nicotine?
Answer: The main role of adding nicotine in E-liquid is to alleviate the craving, produce a throat sensation, and have a certain effect of improving the E-liquid taste.

Nicotine, which has been closely linked to "death" and "cancer" for nearly a hundred years, has received a lot of new attention, and many experts have just named it. It is believed that nicotine in cigarettes does not have much harm to the body. The real carcinogen is toxic, harmful and even radioactive substances produced by burning tar, carbon monoxide and cigarettes.
Of course, the harmful effects of nicotine on the body can not be ignored, such as affecting the heart and brain blood vessels. Therefore, it is Premium to gradually reduce the nicotine concentration of E-liquid and quit nicotine dependence as soon as possible.
E-liquid Generally, the concentration of nicotine is 0 mg, 6 mg, 12 mg, 18 mg, and the like. The higher the number, the higher the concentration of nicotine per ml of E-liquid, and the stronger the throat feel, of course, the more the entrance is. If the concentration is too high, it will cough, and it will cause stomach pain, dizziness, nausea and other symptoms. So if you use Vape again, if you have the above mentioned phenomenon, please replace the E-liquid with low nicotine concentration. For most people, it is usually Premium to use 6 mg of E-liquid for mouth aspiration, and it is more comfortable to use 3 mg of E-liquid for large smoke.
