I answer these questions but I'm not a doctor nor am I giving medical advise: To answer questions 1,2 & 3: Your body will go through some changes after quitting analogs, you should have similar symptoms as quitting before. Eliquid drys the mouth and can cause mouth sores remember drink more liquids.

Kotick Full Member

Thank you for your reply. I know you guys aren't doctors and if I needed one then I'd definitely go see my own.

rob33 Ultra Member Verified Member ECF Veteran

LOL, you'd be surprised what people ask and some answer like they have been practicing for years. Some of the better suppliers list their PG/VG percentage some will mix your eliquid to your percentage you want some even have 100% VG (Mt Baker Vapor is one that cames to mind).

Good thing for canker sores is sage. Take a tablespoon of dried sage leaves and steep in boiled hot water for 15 minutes. Strain and gurgle. You can also put 1 teaspoon of baking soda (not baking powder!) in a cup of water and gurgle. Do not swallow!

What happens if you don't build an atomizer?

Consumers who buy unregulated e-cigarettes, also known as mechanical mods, need to understand the risk of possible explosion that can occur if the atomizer is not built property. When I say “built,” I am referring to the type of coil that is situated in the atomizer. Amateur users who customize their “builds” often use the wrong size of the coil which causes the battery to overwork, overheat, then explode. This is why many unregulated e-cigarette manufactures inform consumers that unregulated e-cigarettes that require “building” are for advanced users. According to KennedyVapor, a well-known mechanical e-cigarette manufacture in the vape community, writes under a product disclaimer that “rebuildable atomizers are for the experienced vapers with access to multimeters and a working knowledge of how electronic devices work” (Kennedy Vapor). The combination of the three basic parts of an unregulated e-cigarette can transform the vape into a lethal grenade that can send shrapnel into the users face. However, this danger can be prevented with the knowledge of “vape safety” and “battery safety.” According to NBC’s article titled, E-cig Vendors Say Experience Matters When Vaping, “Vape Con organizers said accidents or explosions happen as a result of user error with mechanical mod vapes when too much power is drawn from the battery” (NBC-2). Rarely are explosions and device malfunctions caused by the manufacturer defects. As a result, armature users are urged to begin with regulated e-cigarettes.

Why are mucous membranes better for nicotine than lungs?

The mucous membranes in those locations are better pathways for nicotine than the lungs because the vapor aerosol droplets are much larger than smoke particles, and do not go so deeply into the lungs. You sound like someone who neither smokes nor vapes as a regular thing, and are thus unaccustomed to nicotine.

What is regulated e-cigarette?

Regulated e-cigarettes are designed with preventative safety features that ensure the safety of users. Generally, regulated e-cigarettes are made up of multiple intricate computer chips and resistors that allow users to adjust the amount of power that is delivered from the high-powered battery to the atomizer. With the use of computer chips, manufacturers can program the device to work safely in a number of ways. Safety features that analyze the atomizer’s electrical resistance that is measured in ohms is implemented on all regulated devices to prevent batteries from over working and exploding. Another safety feature that is offered with all regulated e-cigarettes is the feature to turn off the device. This feature prevents accidental misfiring that could cause fires and explosions from an overworked battery. With unregulated e-cigarettes, there is no option to turn off the device and to regulate the power that the atomizer receives from the battery. Therefore, unregulated devices are geared towards advanced users who understands the science and mechanism behind e-cigarettes. According to Joey Jux, Vice president of DUVO Life, an official e-cigarette reseller, “the easiest ways to avoid injury are to store your vape outside of your pockets, and only use mechanical mods if you're experienced” (NBC-2). If the device is in one’s pocket and is pressed against an object without his or her attention, then he or her can suffer from burns caused by the excessive heat that is generated in the atomizer.

Does pure VG wick?

Pure VG does introduce problems: it’s thick and viscous, it wicks slowly (therefore it might leave your coil heating with little to no liquid), and it dries into a sticky goo (so it might clog your device). Most of these issues are resolved by new sub-ohm devices, otherwise, for smaller or simpler devices, daily cleaning and priming does the work (e.g. clean the atomizer with tiny tools). You might also consider nicotine salts, which may not produce better ‘smoke’, but do absorb faster, allegedly, therefore making you vape less for that nicotine hit.

Is vape liquid toxic?

However, those who argue that the ingredients used to produce vape liquid are far more toxic than the ingredients used to manufacture traditional cigarettes may be right to some degree. There are four basic ingredients used by all major vape liquid manufacture: Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerin (VG), Nicotine (Nicotine is not always used in vape juice), Flavoring, and Water. The ingredients that vary across vape liquid manufactures are the thousands of different flavorings that can be mixed to suit the taste of consumers. Analyzing the other ingredients, we can see that some of these ingredients used in vape liquid are actually ingredients we come in contact to on a regular basis. Propylene glycol is a synthetic ingredient that is used in antifreeze, food, medicine, and beverages. Because there are many applications of propylene glycol, the quality of this ingredient varies. Most manufactures of vape liquid use food-grade propylene glycol. However, inhalation of food-grade propylene glycol is not completely harmless. Under extreme temperatures, propylene glycol “can undergo dehydration over basic catalysts to produce propylene oxide (PO)” (Dimple). And according the International Agency for Research, propylene oxide is classified as a group 2B carcinogen (IARC Classification). Carcinogens classified under group 2B have limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and less evidence in animals (IARC Classification). That being said, propylene oxide is not a serious threat. Moreover, not all of the ingredients used to manufacture vape liquid are synthetic.

Is vaping safe?

And these technological advancements extend well into the e-cigarette industry. With today’s standards of technology, vape manufactures can incorporate many safety features that allow consumers to vape peacefully without the worry of explosions. There are two types of e-cigarettes in the market today, regulated and unregulated e-cigarettes. Unregulated e-cigarettes are the most dangerous type of e-cigarettes in the market. This type of e-cigarette is composed of three basic pieces: the cylindrical metal body, the atomizer that is attached on top of the body, and a removable button that is usually located at the bottom of the device.
