The main ingredients of e-liquid are harmless in experiments
The main ingredients in e-liquid are glycerin, propylene glycol, flavor and nicotine (optional). Nicotine is a highly toxic substance, but it is safe if not excessive. This cigarette also contains this substance. Regarding nicotine The safety of vape can be seen in my previous article. I will not repeat the description here. Let’s talk about the harmlessness of the experiment on the other main ingredients of vape.
In order to test the effects of the main components of e-liquid on human health, according to the magazine "ASPET", scientists put orangutans and mice in high-concentration steam, conducted animal experiments for 12 to 18 months, and prepared the equivalent The number of reference comparison samples. The same method is also used to test the effects of direct ingestion of glycerol and propylene glycol on human health. In the swallowing experiment, the dose administered by the animal is 50 to 700 times the dose of glycerol and propylene glycol ingested by breathing.
In the development speed, blood count, urine test, kidney function test, fertility and other indicators, the test results of the test group and the control group showed that there was no essential difference between them. The only difference was that the mice were in propylene glycol steam. Always show a higher body weight. After being exposed to the highly saturated steam of glycerin for several months, the orangutan’s facial skin was somewhat dry. However, this situation disappears when the vapor concentration drops below saturation.
The autopsy also did not find any difference between the experimental group and the reference group. The lung examination did not find any overall and local irritation of the glycerol and propylene glycol vapor to the animal’s lungs. The experimental group’s kidneys, liver, spleen and bone marrow were examined. All also showed normal.
The results of this experiment, and the fact that there are no human cases of illness caused by exposure to glycerin and propylene glycol vapor, prove that long-term exposure to saturated vapor of glycerin and propylene glycol is harmless.
Experiments have proved that glycerin and propylene glycol are not only safe in food, they are also safe even if they have been smoked in the form of steam, so everyone should have confidence in the safety of vape.
In the previous 315 party, the vape produced formaldehyde problem, which surprised many vape industry professionals, but soon the cause of vape production of formaldehyde was found, that is, the e-liquid was heated to a high temperature. Without disclosing the parameters of vape and e-liquid brands and experimental products, 315 suddenly announced that vape would produce formaldehyde. It seemed to be of no use to the vape industry and arouse user anxiety.
Before the vape standard was released, the development of the vape industry was chaotic. The products on the market were mixed, and the products of many small workshops did harm users. However, as a regulatory agency, the entire industry cannot be hit by the actions of certain unhealthy manufacturers. Disorganized industries need the guidance of regulatory agencies, especially the industry that can create good foreign exchange and employment for the country.
After all, vape is still a young industry, and its standards and safety data are seriously lacking. I hope that more authorities can join the ranks of vape safety certification and provide more reference data for manufacturers and users. As an e-liquid manufacturer, we insist on using high-quality raw materials and standardized production to ensure the quality of e-liquid, ensuring that every bottle of e-liquid sold is up to standard.
