Identify E liquid quality with flavor, VG, PG

Now the players, in pursuit of big smoke, taste, refreshing, do you still remember the original intention of playing vape? For what reason did we contact vape? In order to reduce the harm of cigarettes to the body, instead of using vape to quit smoking or replace the smoke, or to see others skilled to spit out a variety of fancy smoke rings, and then want to experience the feeling of pulling the wind? For whatever reason, I believe everyone has a consensus that vape is healthier and less harmful than cigarettes.

Regardless of the taste factor of E liquid, how to distinguish the quality of an E liquid is mainly to look at the flavor material used in this E liquid. This refers to the use of E liquid flavor ingredients, as different flavors will use different solvents. At the same time, the solubility of different flavors in VG or PG is also different, and the chemical stability at atomization temperature is not exactly the same.

Flavor:

In the process of making the finished flavor, the manufacturer will add different additives according to their different formulations and production processes. Simple and coarse, the flavor is divided into synthetic flavor and natural flavor, the difference between the two is still very large:

The natural flavor is directly extracted from the animal and plant to filter the substance containing the fragrance component, which better maintains the aroma characteristics of the original flora and fauna, the aroma is more natural and soft, and the manufacturing cost is relatively higher.

The chemical flavor is a natural flavor, which is a template for the identification of a characteristic part of the natural fragrance. It is prepared by chemical analysis and artificial synthesis. The general synthetic flavor contains dozens to dozens of compounds, and the fragrance is relatively easy to make. It is more intense and at a lower cost.

The natural flavor of the flavor is natural, elegant, fresh, not nasal, and the divergence is relatively fast.

The synthetic flavor has a strong aroma and the fragrance is not volatile. If the concentration is not well controlled, the fragrance will suffocate.

From the price comparison, the natural flavor is much more expensive than the chemical flavor, generally 3 to 5 times the price, and a few can reach the difference of 10 times or more. That is to say, E liquid with roughly the same taste, if using chemical flavor, the cost is reduced by 60% to 80%.

At the same time, there is another topic that needs to be extended. It is the concept of eating flavor and daily flavor. The flavor used by vape must be the flavor selected in the edible flavor. If it is a daily flavor, it can't be used in vape. Even if it makes E liquid taste more intense, the damage to health is actually very big. Some ingredients in the daily flavor are the same as the edible flavor, but the process and manufacturing standards of the daily flavor are very different from the specific prohibition additives. Some additives are in the daily flavor. It is allowed, but it is strictly prohibited in the consumption of flavor.

VG and PG:

These two substances are widely used in various fields of medicine, food, and chemicals. But not as long as both VG and PG can be added to E liquid, they are also graded.

In general, we will be divided into food grade and industrial grade. The difference between the two is not a star or a half. Food grades have strict requirements on the purity of raw materials, ingredients, packaging containers, transportation environment, and the number of bacteria. For example, the barrel of VG packaging has strict requirements on the inner wall coating material of the barrel, and needs to resist corrosion and fall off. At the same time, the sealing rubber ring of the lid must also be made of non-toxic and corrosion-resistant silicone material. Therefore, food grade materials tend to be much higher in price than industrial grade materials.

A good bottle of E liquid should be prepared from natural finished flavor + food grade VG, PG + medical nicotine. Because the manufacturer has already added some solvents according to its own formula and production process, in order to better reflect the health concept of E liquid, in principle, in addition to the above ingredients in E liquid, there is no clear research results. Under the circumstance, no other additives or other raw materials should be added, and the probability of adverse chemical reactions caused by the heating of E liquid is increased. Of course, doing so may lose a certain taste. This is what the benevolent sees the wise and sees wisdom.
