Longer-Lasting Taste
In short, the quality and type of e-Juice used will impact the flavour.
Quality: In order to get the best quality, it is important to purchase e-Juices from trusted brands, known for their high-quality products. Many e-Cig users turn to trusted American brands, such as Apollo E-Cigs or ePuffer E-Cigarettes, for their e-Juice needs. Purchasing vape liquids from trusted brands will help to ensure the quality and flavour of the products.
Type of liquid: E-Liquids are often mixtures of Propylene Glycol [Pg], Vegetable Glycerine [Vg], liquid Nicotine, and added flavours. Variations in the percentages of each amount of the liquid will impact the flavour. For more flavour, many clients prefer to have higher percentages of Pg than Vg, and recommend a mixture rate of 70:30 or even 80:20.
Liquid Intensifiers: Certain liquids exist to intensify flavours, create thicker puffs of smoke-rings, and otherwise enhance the smoking experience. These special intensifying liquids can be purchased from many of the same retailers of e-Juice. Sometimes, these special e-liquids require specific devices which ae better adapted to handle the additional temperatures that these liquids burn at. It is necessary to check the compatibility or device requirements when using such intensifying e-juices.
Common Starter Tastes For E-Cig Juice Beginners
Transitioning from traditional cigarettes to e-Cigs or vapourisers may require an adjustment period to acclimate to the new smoking experience. For this reason, many beginners prefer to start out with familiar flavours and find the Tobacco, as well as Menthol, or even Mint flavours to be good fits for them. However, after adjusting to what many clients deem a “cleaner” feeling of smoking, it is common to switch over to sweeter flavours.
Therefore, after the transition period, many users find Fruity or Dessert e-Juice flavours best for their tastes. Vape liquids have many flavour options to choose from, so while sticking with the traditional flavours certainly is an option, it is not the only choice in the pursuit of the best e-liquid.
Whether or not to purchase e-Liquid and what type of e-Juice can be used depends on the device.
Disposable Devices: Some e-Cig and Vape devices are disposable and run using cartridges. For these devices, it is not necessary to purchase e-Liquid, as this type of fluid cannot be used with the device. Additionally, not all disposable devices have the option of replacing cartridges. Reading package labels and descriptions can let the user know if their particular device is disposable and whether or not it can be paired with other cartridges.
Reusable Devices: For this type of e-Cig device, fluids are often required for use. Purchasing fluids from trusted e-Cig vendors can help to determine which types of fluids are needed for the specific device. Many e-Juice fluids can be paired with most devices; however, for specialty fluids, or intensifying fluids, device compatibility checks may be especially needed, as these types of fluids are known to be incompatible with certain devices. If a client is concerned about compatibility, it is advisable to read all product labels and descriptions, to check with any guide books, or to ask a trusted sales representative.
Common Bottle Sizes in UK
Sample and Small Sizes: Sample sizes are available from some vendors of e-Cig products. These sample e-liquids may be purchased for the price of shipping or a reduced price of around $3. The sizes of samples vary, but may commonly be around 5ml, which offers e-Cig users a taste of new flavours or products to see if the taste is suitable to the user. Many e-Cig users find samples and smaller sizes a great way to test out flavours that they haven’t tried yet, without having to commit to purchasing larger sizes, which are often more expensive.
Medium or Regular Sizes: Many e-Juices are sold in the standard size of about 30ml. While pricing varies for this size, common pricing is between $10 and $15 per 30 ml bottle. Some special blends of flavours, or limited edition vape liquids may be more expensive.
Larger Sizes: For those who have found a flavour or e-liquid that works well for them, they may want to purchase a larger size bottle of the favourite vape liquid. Larger sizes are available in double the regular size, 60 ml. Pricing for this higher quantity varies, but may be purchased for about double the regular price, or about $30.
Available Nicotine Strengths
A traditional cigarette has about 1 milligram of Nicotine each. With e-Cigs, users can control how much, if any, Nicotine that is added to vape juices. Some users prefer to gradually phase out the use and reliance on the substance. While others, prefer to maintain a certain amount in their blends. With this in mind, Nicotine liquid is commonly available in the following dosage amounts:
Nicotine Strength Levels: 0%, 0.6%, 1.2%, 1.8%, 2.4%, 3.2%.
In order to choose the best e-Juice blend, it is important to understand these basics and personal smoking needs; using this knowledge one can create a customised best e-Juice.
Changes to Vaping Regulations UK 2017
The way we go about vaping changed a little when the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) came into play in the European Union May 2017. The TPD applies to the United Kingdom, and to imports to the UK from other countries.
One important change is the restriction placed on nicotine strength. While we noted above that a wide range of strengths are available (0-3.2%), not all these strengths are legal in the UK. A cap was placed, meaning that only e-liquids with a nicotine strength of under 20mg (2.0%) are available for purchase and use. However, you are still be able to buy e-liquids with strengths of 0-2.0% – a good range!
Make sure to check online for up-to-date information on rules and regulations that could affect you and your vaping experience.
How to Find The Best E-Juice for You
There are a few things to consider when choosing an vape liquid to suit your needs. What sort of flavour are you looking for? Traditional? Fruity? Exotic? Do you want your vape liquid to contain nicotine? Is price a priority for you?
By deciding what is most important to you when purchasing your e-liquid, you will be able to prioritise when looking at different brands. If a wide variety of flavours is important to you, opt for a vendor which provides this range! If price is a top priority, choose a vendor which offers discounts on bulk orders. With all retailers, make sure to check that the e-juice contains quality ingredients, and that the company is reputable.
When you have decided what sort of e-juice to want to buy, the next decision is to choose whether you want to make your purchase from a brick and mortar shop or from an online vendor. There are pros to both of these options. By visiting a shop, you may be able to try out different flavours or varieties of e-liquid for free! However, by shopping online you may be able to get a more competitive rate. Ultimately, choose where to buy based on your needs. Waiting for an order to be delivered may not be possible for you, and so buying from a vaping shop may be ideal. On the other hand, if you wish to order a large amount of e-juice in one go, then shopping online may be more cost-effective.
Overall, simply choose the e-liquid which will provide the flavour, quality and nicotine strength you require – at the best price! There are so many types of e-juice available that now is a fantastic time to branch out and experiment with new flavours, brands, and experiences!
