Qualities of a good e-juice

Posted by Amos Fred on December 4th, 2020

Many vapers will attest to the fact that e-juice contributes to their overall vaping experience. Many companies manufacture vape juice. Each company produces different types and flavors of vape liquid, and it can be challenging to choose which one to use. You should not overlook if the e-juice follows the health and safety standards required by the law. Other things that you should consider include;

1. Smell and taste of the liquid

An e-liquid should have a pleasant smell and good taste. This shows that the ingredients were mixed proportionately. When you buy an e-liquid and find the solution to be cloudy with bad odor and taste, do not buy it. It means that the ingredients' recommended mixing ratios were not followed, and the solution might be unsafe for consumption. 

2. Nicotine levels

E-juices are divided into two main categories, freebase and nicotine-based e-liquids. Freebase vape juices have zero nicotine levels in them, while the others contain nicotine. The level of nicotine in each liquid varies depending on the type and flavor. However, all vape juices' nicotine levels should be lower than regular cigarettes because most vapers are former smokers trying to quit.

There are also institutions such as The High-performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) that ensure all vape liquids have a safe nicotine level for human consumption.

3. A perfect balance of PG and VG content

Propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are among the main components found in e-liquid. These ingredients are also used to manufacture other food products, medicine, and cosmetics, so they are safe for human consumption. Most e-liquids have a 20/80 PG/VG levels ratio, but you can find some that have a 50/50 ratio.

Your choice will depend on the vaping experience you value the most. If you prioritize flavor, then you can choose a vape juice with a higher PG percentage. If you value smoke, you can choose the liquid with a higher VG percentage. Keep in mind that some people have an allergic reaction to high levels of these products, so be careful. 

4. Packaging

Some of the top manufacturers of e-juice have the customer in mind when packaging their products. The liquids come in 30ml or 100ml bottles, which are small and portable, making them ideal for users on the move. Vape juices also come in bottles with childproof caps, which make it safe, especially if you have kids. Speaking of safety, it is best to go for a vape juice packaged in bottles instead of plastic. This is because some plastics contain harmful chemicals that can be harmful to your health in the long-run. You must also ensure that the bottles are leak-proof to avoid making a mess when you pack your juices in a bag.

Lastly, you should always buy vape juice from a reputable brand. An experienced company knows how to cater to the needs of its customers. A good brand will have different flavors with varying nicotine levels to ensure you get the best out of your vaping experience.
