Choosing The Right E Liquid Flavor


By Tisha Greer


Once you have purchased an electronic cigarette, the next decision you have to make is selecting an e liquid flavor. This is poured into the cartridge of the cigarette and activated when you inhale, releasing water vapor giving you the pleasure of smoking without the harm. Your selection of e-juice needs to be made carefully as the wrong choice can send you right back to smoking traditional cigarettes.

Many of these products are available online so it is important to make sure that you select a product made with non toxic ingredients approved by the FDA. It should be made in a proper laboratory by trained chemists to make sure that strict mixing procedures are followed. This will ensure that you do not receive products that contain toxic materials or have been watered down to increase volume.

If you are a new smoker, there are two terms that you need to understand involving two ingredients used in the juice. One of these is propylene glycol (PG) and the other is vegetable glycerin (VG). These ingredients are used as carriers to hold the nicotine and flavors in suspension so that they turn to vapor quickly when heat is applied. Ideally, a combination of both PG and VG are used. The thickness of the VG increases the amount of vapor produced, while the PG enhances flavor.

Appropriate nicotine strength is another important decision. Some of these products contain no nicotine at all while others come with different strengths, varying from extra light to extra high. Choosing an amount which is too low may mean that you end up smoking more to compensate. Choosing too high an amount can result in overloading your body with nicotine.

Taste is a very individual experience and what appeals to one person may be disliked by another. Traditional cigarettes have limited flavors such as menthol but e-juice comes in a wide variety of flavors. Some companies offer sample packs so you can try and variety of flavors and find the ones that work best for you. Other companies allow you to customize your choice of flavors, combining them according to your taste.

Tobacco flavors are often the first choice made. As the nicotine craving is dealt with, there is no necessity to stick to the traditional tobacco flavors. There are so many other flavors on offer from sweet and fruity, to beverage flavors like coffee. Those with a sweet tooth have plenty of choice with dessert flavors like chocolate cheesecake and apple pie. Those who prefer something less sweet can choose a fruity taste such as apple, blueberry, cherry and kiwi.

Consistency of flavors is obviously important to smokers. Products should taste as described and this taste should not fluctuate. The way the product is stored can affect taste. It needs to be stored in a dark, cool and dry place as sunlight can damage the taste. If it is stored properly it can last about six months. If it is stored in a refrigerator it can last up to eight months.

As vaping becomes more mainstream, discussions on forums abound as to the best e liquid flavor. Whether you enjoy traditional flavors, menthol or those which are more sweet and fruity, you are sure to find one to suit you. You can enjoy the pleasure of smoking without the harm to yourself or those around you.
