Eliquid is the special liquid that goes inside vape devices and responsible for delivering your nicotine in a range of delicious flavours. Eliquid can also be known as e-juice, vapour juice and nicotine liquid, and is an essential part of any vaping kit. If you’re new to the world of eliquids then it can seem quite daunting at first as there are a huge number of different options on the market. But don’t worry, we’re here to help!
The main four ingredients in any e-liquid are Vegetable Glycerin (VG), Propylene Glycol (PG), Nicotine and Flavouring. PG is an odourless, clear liquid that carries most of the flavour in an e-liquid uk and also provides that throat hit feeling that people expect from smoking cigarettes. VG is a thicker, sweeter liquid that produces a lot of vapor when heated up and is used in things like ice cream, food enhancers and medical products like cough medicine, suppositories, shampoo, toothpaste and as a sweetener in low-fat foods.
Nicotine is the last ingredient in any liquid and can be either freebase or nic salt. Freebase is the most common form of nicotine found in e-liquid and closely mimics the feeling of smoking cigarettes. Nicotine salt on the other hand is much more effective at helping to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms for those who have been struggling to stop smoking.
Flavourings in e-liquid can be anything from fruit to desserts and everything in between. They’re all food-grade and safe to vape but the type of flavouring used can have a big impact on how harsh an eliquid tastes.
