The majority of consumers venturing into the world of vaping are understandably motivated by health concerns. They're looking to put the well-known hazards of smoking behind them as they continue to enjoy the pleasant sensual experience and relaxation that vaping provides. For health-conscious consumers, it's imperative that the e-liquids they vape regularly are made from the best natural ingredients with the highest standards of quality control.
As a cigarette smoker, the flavor choices have always been severely limited. You have your pick of regular or menthol... and that's about it. Any distinct flavor variations between cigarette brands are negligible. A smoker looking for any more meaningful flavor experience would need to branch out into the arena of cigars and pipe tobacco - with even higher doses of hazardous tar and nicotine - and that is simply not a healthy alternative.
VG based e-liquids open the door to flavors as distinct as Nutty Cookie, Frosted Gingerbread, and Peach Tea. For the tobacco flavor purist, Burley Beard and Tobacco Trio can fill the bill. But there can still be hidden health hazards in the vaping world for the uninformed e-juice consumer who might think he's found a bargain brand to fill the void left by giving up cigarettes.
For the entry level vaper, the multitude of choices in e-liquids can be somewhat overwhelming! As the massive move to vaping sweeps around the globe, so too does the proliferation of substandard e-juice "manufacturers." Unfortunately, the e-juice industry abounds with products made in back rooms, garages, and makeshift labs.
The dubious products these shadowy entities produce are known in the vaping world as "Bathtub E-Juice". As Daniel Knight points out in his informative article at Vape Gazette, the term, "bathtub e-juice" refers to e-liquid that could be mixed by anyone "just about anywhere using ingredients of unknown quality and with unknown production standards."
Needless to say, it's obvious that any product manufactured for human consumption needs to meet the most rigorous standards for quality control, and bargain basement "bathtub" brands should be avoided at all costs.
For former cigarette smokers, the vaping world opens up a broad spectrum of flavor, scent, and vaping process options which they may not have anticipated. The first choice they'll face is the VG or PG question.
VG E-Liquid
Natural VG or vegetable glycerin is the e-liquid component, an all-natural plant extract, which makes the incredible variety of e-juice flavors possible.
It's highly probable that you're already a VG consumer as vegetable glycerin is a common ingredient in many food and cosmetic products. Vegetable glycerin has a texture somewhat like an oil or syrup. Its natural sweetness makes it the perfect alternative to sugar as it doesn't cause tooth decay and metabolizes differently to eliminate many other health complications related to sugar consumption. VG is added to lotions and shampoos for its humectant properties. That is, it attracts moisture to hydrate the skin. As the base for a vaping e-liquid, it provides rich thick clouds of vapor and its natural mild sweetness enhances the many unique blends of flavor in the popular Velvet Cloud line.
PG E-Liquid
The alternative e-juice component is PG, propylene glycol, a harsher, faster-burning e-liquid which comes with a higher risk of allergic reactions and lingering throat irritation. PG vapor clouds tend to be thinner and harsher on the throat as opposed to the rich clouds and satisfying full mouth sensuousness produced by the more viscous VG e-liquids. PG vapers may find themselves drawing more frequently which can deplete the e-juice supply more quickly.
The natural sweetness and slower vaporizing characteristics of VG e-liquids tend to make for a much gentler throat hit with a lingering aftertaste for the extended satisfaction that lets you get "more for less", making your e-juice supply last significantly longer. You can get more details on the VG vs. PG choice at our "Guide to Why High VG E-Liquid is the Way to Go."
