What's Really in Your E-Liquid? Breaking Down the Basics

Hey vapers! Ever wondered what exactly goes into that bottle of e-juice you’re vaping? Let’s break it down simply:

The Core Ingredients:

:one: PG (Propylene Glycol) – The flavor carrier. Thin, odorless, and provides that “throat hit” many crave.
:two: VG (Vegetable Glycerin) – Thick, sweet, and responsible for dense vapor clouds.
:three: Flavor Concentrates – Food-grade (but vape-optimized) extracts that create everything from fruits to desserts.
:four: Nicotine (Optional) – Freebase (smoother at high wattages) or salts (faster absorption, smoother at high strengths).

The Extras (Sometimes):

  • Cooling Agents (WS-3/WS-23) – For that icy kick. :ice:
  • Sweeteners (Sucralose) – Enhances flavor but can gunk coils faster. :candy:

Key Note: Quality matters! Reputable brands use pharma-grade PG/VG and rigorously tested flavors. Avoid sketchy DIY mixes—your lungs will thank you.
