Introduction to E-liquid: The Path to a Better Vaping Experience

Welcome to the world of e-liquid, or vape juice as it’s also called, a vital component in your vaping experience. In this guide, we explore this liquid that you fill your e-cigarette with and turn into vapor for an enjoyable vaping session. Whether you’re new to vaping or an experienced vaper, this information is designed to enhance your understanding and enjoyment of e-liquid.

What is E-juice? A Thorough Explanation

E-juice is more than just a liquid; it’s the core of every e-cigarette. This flavored liquid, available both with and without nicotine, is what you fill your e-cigarette with. It mainly consists of Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerol (VG). PG contributes to a cigarette-like feeling and a sharper flavor experience, while VG creates a smoother sensation and more vapor. Depending on your personal vaping preference, you can choose different PG/VG balances. For models powered at higher watts, a higher VG content is often recommended, while lower watt devices, like pod systems, are better suited with medium or low VG content.

E-Juice, E-Liquid, and E-Liquid: Different Names, Same Product

First and foremost, it’s important to understand that these terms – e-juice, e-liquid, and e-liquid – actually describe the exact same thing. The use of different names often depends on geographical location and local language habits.

In Sweden, the terms “e-juice” and “vape-liquid” are commonly used, while in countries like the United Kingdom, where vaping is very popular, the term “e-liquid” is more commonly used.

Why Different Terms are Used?

The reason for the different terms is partly due to cultural and linguistic differences. “E-juice” and “vape-liquid” tend to be used in Sweden, while “e-liquid” is the term more often used in English-speaking countries.

A Simple Explanation for All Vapers

Regardless of the term you encounter – whether it’s e-juice, vape-liquid, or e-liquid – it always refers to the same product: the liquid used in electronic cigarettes and vaping devices to create vapor and provide flavor.

Choosing the Right E-liquid: From Flavorful Fruit Blends to Classic Tobacco

E-liquid comes in a plethora of flavors, from exotic fruits and refreshing menthol to those that mimic the traditional tobacco flavor, but without the smoke and odor that come with real tobacco. The choice of flavor is a personal journey. Why not try something new and exciting, or stick to a classic flavor? We offer a wide range of flavors that are sure to meet your desires.

Choosing the Right Nicotine Strength for Your E-Cig

When it comes to nicotine strength, it’s important to consider the wattage of your e-cig. A high-watt e-cig vaporizes more liquid and creates more vapor, meaning you intake more nicotine. Therefore, it’s more common to use e-liquid with lower nicotine content in these models. Your choice of nicotine strength should also reflect your previous nicotine intake. If you’re accustomed to a high nicotine intake, you might start with a stronger variant and gradually taper off. For those accustomed to lower nicotine levels, a lighter variant, or even nicotine-free e-juice, might be a good choice.

This table can be a good starting point for which nicotine strength is suitable for different watts:

Customize Your Experience: Choose Your Perfect PG/VG Ratio

For an optimal vaping experience, it’s important to understand how the PG/VG ratio affects your e-liquid . PG provides a more intense flavor and a stronger throat hit, while VG generates a smoother sensation and thicker vapor. To find what suits you best, we recommend experimenting with different ratios. Remember, a higher VG content is often better for powerful devices, while a balanced or lower VG content can be ideal for lower wattage devices.

Choosing the right e-liquid is a crucial part of usage to make it as good as possible. By understanding the different aspects, from flavor to nicotine strength and PG/VG ratios, you can tailor your experience to your specific needs and preferences. At PremiumVape, we strive to offer a comprehensive collection of e-liquids to ensure that every vaper can find their perfect match.

Tips for Choosing Nicotine Strength

Choosing the right nicotine strength is crucial for your vaping experience. A simple rule of thumb is to look at the wattage of your vape:

•  Low watt: Choose a higher nicotine strength, perfect for MTL (Mouth To Lung).  ‘
• High watt: Go for a lower nicotine strength, ideal for DL (Direct Lung).

For MTL devices with low wattage, e-liquids with high PG and nicotine work better, while high-wattage DL devices are optimal with e-liquids with high VG and low nicotine levels.

What are Nicotine Salts?

Nicotine salts and traditional e-liquid share several similarities – both are in liquid form, contain nicotine, and are intended for vaporization. The significant difference lies in the nicotine concentration. Traditional e-liquid varies in nicotine strengths from around 3mg to 18mg. On the other hand, nicotine salts usually start around 10mg and can go up to 50mg, although sales within the EU are limited to a maximum of 20mg due to regulations.

Using E-liquid with Nicotine Salt

If you’re considering switching from traditional e-liquid to nicotine salt, we recommend starting at a lower level, such as 10mg, and gradually increasing the strength. This approach is important because nicotine salts are absorbed faster into the body and can have a more intense effect. For those transitioning from smoking to vaping, 20mg nicotine salt can offer a similar satisfaction to that of a traditional cigarette.

Is Nicotine Salt Stronger than Regular Nicotine?

It’s important to understand that e-liquid with nicotine salt is significantly more potent than regular e-liquid . This high potency makes them ideal for those trying to quit smoking, but they are not suitable for people who do not already have a nicotine habit. The use of nicotine salts should be taken seriously, and it’s crucial to choose a strength that suits your specific needs and experiences.

The Benefits of Nicotine Salt

For those looking to avoid the strong sensation of higher nicotine strengths, nicotine salt is an excellent alternative. It’s milder on the throat and offers a smoother nicotine delivery.

Choosing the Right Strength in Light of the Nicotine Tax

When it comes to choosing the right nicotine strength for e-liquid , the nicotine tax plays a significant role. We at PremiumVape understand that this tax affects both retailers and consumers, leading to changing preferences and market trends.

Understanding the Impact of Nicotine Tax

In 2023, Sweden’s nicotine tax was divided into two main categories based on nicotine strength. This tax structure is as follows:

• For e-liquid with a nicotine strength of 1-14.9mg: The tax is 20 SEK plus VAT.
• For e-liquid with a nicotine strength of 15-20mg: The tax doubles to 40 SEK plus VAT.

This difference in taxation has led to an increasing popularity of nicotine salt with a 14mg strength. Many consumers and retailers have turned to this strength as a cost-effective alternative.

Why 14mg Nicotine is a Popular Choice

Considering the tax imposition, 14mg nicotine salt becomes an attractive middle ground for vapers. Many choose 14mg because it’s cost-effective. It provides a good nicotine experience without reaching the higher tax category. It’s perfect for those who want something stronger than the lowest strengths but don’t want to pay extra tax for the highest.

Choosing Your E-liquid

At PremiumVape, we offer a range of different e-liquid to suit your needs:

• Nicotine e-liquid : Smaller packages of 10ml with between 0mg-18mg nicotine.
• Shortfill: Larger bottle of e-liquid (usually 50 or 100ml) without nicotine, with space to add a nicotine shot or two, typically to create e-liquid with 3mg nicotine.
• Custom shortfill: Custom e-liquid mixed by us for up to 12mg nicotine.
• DIY juices: Essences and flavors that you mix yourself with base liquid (PG/VG) and nicotine as desired. For accurate mixtures, we recommend weighing the ingredients.

Understanding the Shelf Life of E-liquid

Unlike many other products, e-liquid maintains its quality over a significant period. An interesting aspect is that e-juice can change color and become brownish. This is a natural process due to various factors, such as oxidation and the natural aging of ingredients. This color change does not necessarily mean that the e-juice has deteriorated or passed its best-before date. In many cases, the e-liquid is still as usable and fresh as when it was first manufactured.

Optimal Storage for Longer Shelf Life

To ensure that your e-liquid remains in the best possible condition, storage is key. Generally, an unopened bottle of e-liquid can remain in good condition for up to two years from the manufacturing date. However, this shelf life can be affected by several factors:

• Avoid heat and sunlight: Heat and direct sunlight can accelerate the breakdown process of e-liquid ingredients.
• Minimize exposure to oxygen: Oxygen can affect the taste and consistency of e-liquid. Therefore, it’s recommended to store e-liquid in an airtight container.
• Store in a cool, dry, and dark place: The best way to extend shelf life is to store your e-liquid in a place that is cool, dry, and protected from light.

Safe Storage of E-liquid: Protecting Your Loved Ones

When it comes to vaping and using e-liquid, safe storage is a critical aspect that should not be overlooked. At PremiumVape.eu, we are keen to remind our customers about the importance of always storing their e-liquid out of reach of children and pets.

Why Safe Storage is Important

E-liquid, especially those containing nicotine, can be harmful if ingested, particularly for children and pets who are more sensitive to its effects. Nicotine is a toxic substance, and even small amounts can cause serious health problems. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to always store e-liquid in a safe and inaccessible place.

Tips for Safe Storage of E-liquid

• Use lockable storage boxes: Store your e-liquid in lockable boxes or cabinets that are not accessible to children and pets.
• Store E-liquid high up: Keep bottles high up, far from the reach of children and pets.
• Use child-proof caps: Ensure that all e-liquid bottles have child-proof caps to prevent accidental opening.
• Separate E-liquid from household products: Never store e-juice near food items or household products to avoid confusion.
• Clearly label the storage location: Use clear labels to mark the storage location of e-liquid, so that everyone in the household is aware of where they are stored.

What to Do in Case of Accidental Exposure?

If a child or pet accidentally comes into contact with e-liquid, it is vital to seek medical help immediately. Bring the e-liquid packaging to the healthcare provider to quickly provide accurate information about its contents.

What Happens if E-liquid is Accidentally Swallowed?

Accidents can occur, and it’s important to know how to handle the situation if you accidentally ingest e-liquid. If the e-liquid does not contain nicotine, the risk of harm is low, but nicotine-based e-juice requires caution. A small drop usually does not cause problems, but larger quantities or uncertainty about the amount should lead you to contact healthcare for advice.

Handling E-liquid Stains on Clothes and Fabric

Spills of e-liquid can happen, but stains on clothing and fabrics can usually be washed out. Pre-treating with dish soap can help to dissolve the stain before it goes into the washing machine. Note that some e-liquids may contain dyes that are harder to remove. In these cases, a stain remover may be useful.

Effective Cleaning of E-liquid Spills

Cleaning spilled e-liquid is usually straightforward. Use paper towels, water, and possibly a little dish soap to wipe up minor spills. For larger spills or when there are children and pets around, use more powerful cleaning agents. Remember to wear protective gloves, especially when handling e-liquid with nicotine, as nicotine can be absorbed through the skin.

E-Liquid: Not an Oil, But Water-Based

It’s a common misconception that vape juice is a type of oil. In reality, e-liquid is water-based. Although some e-juices may contain traces of natural oils from fruit, tobacco, or other extracts, these amounts are minimal and do not affect the liquid’s quality or safety. It’s important to remember that e-liquid, despite its sometimes oily consistency, is not an oil.
