The components of e-liquid
How to make DIY Electronic Cigarette oil? The components of e-liquid
VG, PG, nicotine solution (optional), flavor
To get started with e-liquid DIY, you must first understand the composition and operating principle of e-liquid. As we all know, the operating principle of e-cigarettes is to evaporate the e-liquid on the cotton by heating the heating wire coil and then evaporate the smoke, and then produce The most important element of smoke is VG, also called glycerol, also called mist enhancer or glycerin.
As just mentioned, the primary function of VG is to produce smoke. VG is a colorless, transparent and viscous liquid. It is characterized by high concentration and strong transpiration. It is miscible with water and ethanol and produces a lot of smoke after heating.
We must pay attention to the selection of glycerin. We must choose food-grade VG to be truly harmless to the body. Pharmaceutical-grade VG is only suitable for cosmetics. There is still a big difference from food-grade VG. The content of other content in pharmaceutical grade VG, such as diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol, is strictly quantitative, and it is these additions that will produce subtle harm to the human body after transpiration, while industrial grade VG is tens of thousands. Not for use in e-cigarettes. These injuries are accumulated continuously, and there is no need to respond immediately after inhalation. Let's not take a chance or seek cheap and useful brands whose sources are unknown or not guaranteed. Now the most widely used is the food grade glycerin produced by P&G, and there is also Wilmar (Fengyi) produced in Singapore. This can be used with confidence, but it is still a niche product, so I still recommend P&G. In particular, AROMA-ZONE (Big Red Bottle) produced in France is pharmaceutical grade glycerin, and its use is not recommended.
We only need glycerin. We will find that when we smoke glycerin alone, there will be a slight sweetness, but it is almost uninteresting. Therefore, we need to use the participation of flavors to bring us all kinds of flavors. For detailed flavor introductions, let`s go to Later, what I want to say here is that the essence is insoluble or not completely soluble in VG. If the essence is added to the VG alone, it will be difficult for him to mix evenly. The most direct result is that the taste is not blended. No taste in one bite, but heavy taste in one bite. I believe no one wants to see this situation, so we need to rely on PG to help.
PG, propylene glycol, miscible with water, ethanol and a variety of organics, it is a colorless and viscous liquid under normal conditions, but it is not as viscous as VG and has a slightly sweet taste. As just introduced, it will be miscible with a variety of organic substances, so it is just used as a solvent or diluent for our flavors, especially in a compound formula (multiple flavors), which will help a variety of flavors to blend better. The flavor mixed with PG is also easier to dissolve in VG, and then prevents the difficulty of severe layering of taste.
The selection of PG is the same as VG. Food grade must be selected. Medical and industrial grade must not be used. The detailed reasons are the same as VG, so I won't repeat it here. Now the mainstream PG brand is produced by DOW Dow. Almost all American e-liquid manufacturers also use Dow's PG, and most of the flavor carriers we use are also PG.
There are two more points worth mentioning here. One is not to draw PG alone. PG has the ability to slap your throat. When you draw alone, you may feel choking, throat piercing, etc., which is not good for your body; the other is Regardless of the population is allergic to PG, people with severe allergies may experience edema or redness after smoking. If this symptom occurs, please stop inhaling and seek medical attention immediately. But we don't have to worry too much. According to incomplete statistics, the total share of PG allergies does not exceed 0.3%, so you don't have to be the lucky person.
With VG and PG, the three key elements of e-cigarettes are already available in the cooperation of flavors, and it is now possible to make e-cigarettes that can be smoked. However, many people touch e-cigarettes for the purpose of quitting smoking. This kind of e-liquid is not addictive, so at this time we will use another thing, and that is the nicotine solution.
The nicotine solution used here is generally a 36mg/ml PG base liquid diluted solvent, and the nicotine-containing cigarette is prepared by calculating the proportion (the amount of nicotine solution = the e-liquid guideline nicotine concentration/base liquid concentration * pre-prepared quantity) Oil, usually smoke oil is divided into 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 12mg and higher, 0mg is suitable for players who do not smoke, because there is no throat sensation, 3mg is suitable for lung smokers, and the concentration of 3mg is guaranteed Under the premise of a certain throat sensation, the lungs can be sucked without choking. 6mg and 12mg of e-liquid are generally suitable for oral smokers, because the smoke first enters the mouth and inhales the lungs, which is similar to the method of smoking real smoke. The feeling will be stronger, like you are smoking a real cigarette. I don't recommend that you try it with a concentration of more than 12mg, even if you breathe.
36mg/ml nicotine solution is relatively safe, even if it accidentally splashes on the skin, just rinse it off with water and it will not harm the human body. Be careful not to accidentally eat it.
Many players prefer to use high-concentration nicotine solutions in pursuit of high-VG formulations. Here I want to tell us that if the concentration of PG carrier base liquid exceeds 65.5mg/ml, if it is not stabilized by the phosgene method, the entire solution is not It is stable, perhaps during the dilution process, a single overdose due to the unstable content of nicotine solvent occurs, which is very bad for the body, so when choosing 100mg/ml nicotine solvent, it must be confirmed that it has passed the phosgene method and is stable. .
Regarding the nicotine throat sensation, we must distinguish the throat piercing, choking and plump throat sensation. Generally, throat piercing and choking will cause your throat to be itchy, which has a strong influence, and even a burning sensation. These are generally It is caused by excessive nicotine or poor quality. The fullness of the throat sensation will not form this feeling. Instead, there will be a feeling of choking. We must distinguish
Inhaling nicotine will not cause harm to the human body itself, because nicotine will be eliminated from the body with metabolic functions in the human body. The fastest way to eliminate it is to use urine, plus VG will take away a lot of water after transpiration. This is why you will get thirsty if you smoke too much e-cigarette, so if you smoke e-cigarette, you must pay attention to ensure the daily water consumption.
