Novice Vaping : Composition of an E-liquid

In the event of smoking cessation or switching from traditional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes, it is very important to make the right choice of e liquid alongside the choice of e-cigarette. To choose your e liquid, you can't only rely on other people's judgments, but we advise you to follow your desires and preferences to form your own opinion. A liked e liquid by someone is not necessary the favorite of another. First of all, to make your choice, you must understand the composition of an eliquid and know several flavors.

Composition of an e-liquid :

- Propylene Glycol (PG) is an alimentary component which produces a thin and light steam, once it is heated at low temperature.

- Vegetal Glycerin (VG) is also an alimentary component which produces a dense and rife steam, perfectly imitating cigarettes' smoke.

- The aroma is the element which brings flavor to the eliquid you vape.

- Nicotine, in liquid form. Its dosage can vary following your need.

Nicotine :

For your nicotine dosage, we advise you to begin e-cigarettes with an adapted to your tobacco consumption nicotine rate to see how effective the product is. You will see nicotine dosage from 0 to 14mg/ml on Bar A Diy.

Here are some equivalence to traditional daily cigarette consumption to help your understand what dose of nicotine you should use :

- 0mg/ml : no nicotine

- 6mg/ml : from 5 to 10 cigarettes a day

- 11mg/ml : from 10 to 15 cigarettes a day

- 14mg/ml : more than 15 cigarettes a day

Know that if your nicotine rate is too strong, you risk to fall into an overdose of nicotine : if you have headaches, nausea, vomiting, try to lower your dosage. If symptoms remain, immediately stop e-liquid consumption, and consult your doctor.

Flavoring aromas :

Concerning aromas to choose, at the beginning, you surely will seek a taste like tobacco, then you can diversify flavors to find your favorite.

We advise you to have multiple favorite eliquids, because you craving can vary through the day, for instance, you could appreciate some flavor in the morning and some other in the middle of the day. You will need to taste several to make your own opinion.

For information, we recommend storing your e-liquids away from light and at room temperature, to avoid deterioration from natural light.
