Introduction

When you explore vape shops or websites, you’ll come across various vibrant pods and pens that hold flavoured vape juice. However, what is disposable vape juice? This article aims to explain vape juice, highlight the available ingredients and types, touch on its shelf life, and emphasize its safety.

Definition

Disposable vape juice is a liquid used in vape kits and electronic cigarettes to create flavoured vapour. It’s also referred to as:

• E-liquid
• E-juice
• Vaping liquid
• E-cig juice

The ingredients in vape juice include vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, flavourings, and nicotine. There is also vape juice that doesn’t contain nicotine, which is friendly for new vapers.

Besides, you can choose from a wide variety of flavours and nicotine strengths, making it attractive to new vapers.

Ingredients

Now you know what vape juice is. Let’s take a look at the ingredients commonly found in vape juice.

Flavourings

The flavourings used in disposable vape juice can be natural or artificial and are always food-grade. A variety of flavours are available, with fruit flavours such as strawberry and watermelon being the most common.

Nicotine

In vape juice, nicotine is extracted from the tobacco plants so that only the concentrated liquid is added. When you inhale nicotine, your brain releases dopamine, making you feel happy and relaxed.

Vape juices have different nicotine levels or strengths. Here are the most common ones:

• 3 mg/mL or 0.3% = super low
• 6 mg/mL or 0.6% = low
• 12 mg/mL or 1.2% = low to medium
• 18-24 mg/mL or 1.8% – 2.4% = medium to high
• 36 mg/mL or 3.6% and above = super high

Propylene Glycol

Propylene glycol (PG) is a colourless, odourless, slightly thick liquid commonly used in cosmetics, foods, and vape juice. It serves as a flavour and nicotine carrier.

Vegetable Glycerin

Vegetable glycerin (VG) is a natural, odourless, and slightly sweet chemical derived from vegetable oils. It’s also a natural organic compound approved by the FDA for use in food and drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter.

Types of Vape Juice

All vape juice contains two main ingredients: VG (vegetable glycerin) and PG (propylene glycol). VG is thicker, while PG is thinner.

The ratio of PG and VG has a certain impact on the vapour and throat hit provided by vape juice.

• Vape juice with high PG delivers a strong throat hit and provides a strong-flavoured vape.
• Vape juice with high VG tends to produce larger vapour clouds with less throat hit.

Shelf Life

Vape juice is made up of stable molecules, but it can still deteriorate over time. The liquid’s colour may turn brown, which can be influenced by how it’s stored. If you keep it in direct sunlight or hot temperatures, the e-juice may degrade and become unusable.

But generally speaking, the shelf life of unopened vape juice is one to two years, while opened juice should be used within three months.

Verdict

Now you know what disposable vape juice is, it is important to pay close attention to the ingredients in the disposable vape juice when purchasing a vaping device to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
