Vaping 101: Ejuice Categories

in #health6 years ago (edited)

In the previous part, we saw a few generic things about atomisers. Today we will get a first look at ejuice.

Common questions

I'm smoking this pack of cigs, I love the flavor. Is there an ejuice that's similar to my cigarettes?

Yes, there probably is. However, if you are looking for a 100% recreation of your favorite smoke, you will be let down. Ejuice's taste is made by combining various food and/or other flavorings.
This means that there will be some differences to the taste you are looking for. If you try the same flavor from 2 different companies, you will understand what I mean.

I don't want my ejuice to have sweetness.

That's not possible. PG and VG (the main ingredients of ejuice) are more or less sweet. However, some flavoring remove some of that sweetness.

I got a new ejuice and after vaping 4-5ml, my coil is done. Have I done something wrong?

If you have an ejuice you like very much, you've probably been chain-vaping and you burnt it. However, it's probably not 100% your fault: the more flavorings in an ejuice, the harder it is on your coil. Having a simple ejuice (with 1 or 2 flavorings) makes virtually no impact on your coil's wire. So there's always a chance that your Banana split with caramel and nuts ejuice helped destroy your coil faster.

Ejuice types

Ejuice is categorised in many types. The most common types are the following:

  • Tobacco
  • Fruity
  • Dessert
  • Drink
  • Menthol

All of them are pretty much self-explanatory, but lets have a quick look at each one!

Tobacco-flavored ejuice

Simulates the flavor of a cigarette. Generally, together with the Menthol ejuice, they are not as sweet as the other types of eliquid. This type of flavor is generally recommended for smokers who are jumping to vaping.

You can find tobacco-flavored ejuice, either on their own, or combined with sweet & menthol flavors.

Fruity-flavored ejuice

There are hundreds of fruits turned into ejuices. In this type of ejuice, you will understand the thing I told you about difference in the taste on the same flavor from 2 different companies.
There are countless combinations of fruit ejuices. While they might sound great (and they are), it is not usually a great way to start vaping!

In general, they are the second most sweet type of ejuice, and the most popular. Well, with so many choices available in the stores, it's only natural! (pun intended)

Dessert-flavored ejuice

You like Crème Brûlée, Apple Pies, Lemon Tart etc? Chances are you'll find your favorite dessert in ejuice! Of course, taste it before buying (if possible) as, like in real life, the taste will be different from brand to brand. Like when you go to 2 different patisseries.

If you are like me, your cravings for sweets can be controlled with this type. There's nothing to back this, to be honest, but it works like this for me! Great to help with that diet for the summer that's almost here, huh ladies?

Drink-favored ejuice

There are many popular drinks that have been turned into ejuice! The most widely available ones are Coffee, Mojito and Red Bull. Consider though avoiding this category. Would you like to drink your coffee and vape mojito?

Menthol ejuice

Refreshing like gum, comes in mint, spearmint, peppermint. May also contain Menthol crystals (suitable for human consumption), that add some real refresh to your mouth. And they surely hinder your taste!

Honorary mention: CBD

Lately, there's been a surge of CBD (Cannabidiol) eliquids. They contain real CBD that has no psychoactive effects, in contrast to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). However, I'm not sure you can get the same health benefits CBD has to offer, in comparison to other methods.
