The electronic cigarette: Do we know what's in it?

Here is a phrase we hear every day!

So why do we regularly hear this phrase? Le vapoteur discount wanted to investigate!

First of all, let's (re)clarify together the composition of an e-liquid, it's very simple!

What is propylene glycol?

Propylene glycol is a molecule filtered in the human body by the kidneys and eliminated from your blood in less than 2 hours.

So it passes through the kidneys and is then converted into lactic acid, in exactly the same way that the human body produces lactic acid during a workout.

What is lactic acid: it is what gives energy to muscles. It is found in milk, wine and fruits and vegetables.

(Don't be mistaken, lactic acid is not responsible for muscle soreness, but it is what converts sugar into energy in your body).

Propylene glycol produces a thin vapor but provides a throat hit and enhances flavors.

What is Vegetable Glycerin?

It is vegetable fat, so far we agree! It helps retain water in the body and therefore promotes hydration.

Vegetable glycerin produces a thick vapor.

Aromas:

Of food-grade or natural type, they are used to add flavor to your e-liquids.

Food flavoring e-liquids: Absolutely the same flavorings as those found in your strawberry yogurt.

Natural flavoring e-liquids: They are extracted from fruits or plants naturally through an extraction, purification and concentration process.

 

Shall we continue?

Nicotine:

It is found in zucchini and carrots but in small quantities. Our body produces it naturally and your brain needs it to function.

Nicotine is essentially extracted from tobacco plants. We can even state that nicotine is actually the only substance contained in tobacco that is not harmful to your body.

Nicotine has cognitive properties that notably aid concentration. It acts on stress and your dopamine levels.

That is why when you consume nicotine in one way or another, tobacco, patch or electronic cigarette, your level of satisfaction varies.

Nicotine is not harmful, it is even often compared to caffeine. Indeed, since both have cognitive benefits but cause addiction.

The more you consume high doses of nicotine, or caffeine for that matter, the more your body is likely to ask for more. That is the definition of addiction.

It is therefore naturally important to control doses and not consume more than necessary.

We talked about propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, nicotine and aromas.. and a little water (less than 1% which serves to thin the e-liquids)..

And that's it, there is nothing else in your e-liquids!!

We leave you to read the labels of your e-liquids, and please be aware that the ingredients present in your e-liquids are OBLIGATORILY all listed on the bottle. If you cannot find these indications, do not buy and do not consume these e-liquids!

But you might say, so what is there that's harmful in e-liquids for electronic cigarettes?

In reality, NOTHING! But although we only have nearly 20 years of hindsight on this tobacco substitute defined as the only effective means to quit smoking, we cannot medically affirm (since we are not doctors) that in 40 years you won't grow a third lung in your back.

Athletes might not complain about it but we don't have enough hindsight to state this with certainty.

In the meantime, we can state with certainty that we know what is in our e-liquids. The brands we offer all have approval for sale on the European market: the TPD 2018 has set the mandatory guidelines!

However, some e-liquids may need to be avoided and can indeed be dangerous to vape.

Only use certified e-liquids from recognized brands such as D'lice, roykin ,swoke, french touch, or Vincent dans les vapes. These e-liquids are tested and manufactured in France and have undergone very strict health checks allowing their consumption in all types of electronic cigarettes!

So beware of media buzz whose sole purpose is... The BUZZ... Media that spread false information in their own interest but rarely in yours, let's be clear!

We invite you to visit the Le vapoteur discount Agen store to ask us all your questions, and we will be happy to answer them over a tasting of our new e-liquids and a coffee.
