Before choosing the right liquid for you, make sure you know the ingredients of the liquid and its safety. We will also explain how they are treated by law.

The main ingredients are PG and VG, which are also used in food additives

The main ingredients of ejuice are PG and VG, which stand for propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, respectively. It is considered harmless to the human body unless ingested in excess, and is also added to foods as a safe preservative. Its characteristic as an ingredient in liquid is that it has a good flavor profile, allowing its flavor to be used to its fullest. In addition, since there is little burden placed on the atomizer, the frequency of atomizer changes can be reduced if a high PG ratio is used.

VG is a plant-based ingredient with very high water retention properties. It is believed to have little effect on the human body, but the safety of continuous ingestion of fats and oils contained in glycerin has not yet been established. Therefore, it is best to avoid smoking anything with a high percentage of VG throughout the day. In terms of liquids, they are characterized by their stickiness and the amount of vapor they produce when vaporized. While it is popular among those who like to smoke explosively, its disadvantage is that it wears out the liquid and coils quickly. It is also important to note that VG has a poor flavor profile, so the aroma is weaker.

Nicotine-containing liquids cannot be sold in Japan.

Since it is prohibited by law to sell or transfer nicotine-containing liquids in Japan, all products distributed in Japan are nicotine-free. In addition, there are many nicotine-free products, not only domestically produced ones, but also those from overseas. Some vape specialty stores, such as vape studio, even though they carry products from overseas, publicly state that they only carry nicotine-free products.

Domestic liquids that adhere to a unique standard of safety

Many of the products related to vape, which have spread rapidly around the world, are made in foreign countries, and legislation has not yet caught up in Japan. Since no safety standards have been established for liquids, many domestic manufacturers maintain the safety of their products by setting their own standards, such as by conducting ingredient testing at third-party organizations. In addition, some domestically produced products are purely domestic, made entirely from domestic products, even down to the raw materials. On the other hand, there are cases where products from domestic manufacturers are made in China, but China's production technology is by no means low, due to the fact that vapes have been popular since the early days of the industry. And even in the unlikely event that a product is defective, it is inspected based on its own safety standards, so it can be used with peace of mind. Keep in mind that the important thing is not which country the product is produced in, but whether or not it meets safety standards.

Look for reliable products at reliable stores.

Since there is no legal safety standard, there is always a risk that defective products may appear on the market. In order to enjoy vaping safely, you should protect yourself by choosing authentic products from manufacturers at reliable stores, whether they are online or brick-and-mortar stores.

Endless Flavors of Liquid

Manufacturers from all over the world release numerous flavors, for example, there are countless varieties of the same mint flavor. Let's take a look at the depth of flavors that are being developed every day.

The basis of liquid is the balance between the main ingredients "PG" and "VG

The characteristics of flavors vary depending on the balance between PG and VG, the main ingredients of nicotine salt eliquid. Most products clearly state this ratio, so it is a good idea to refer to it when selecting a product. Even the same menthol flavor will taste different depending on whether it contains more PG or VG, so you will need to experiment to find the ratio you prefer.

PG for a punch of flavor and a kick in the throat

Tasteless and odorless, PG is a light sensation when inhaled, and is the decisive ingredient for the "flavor" that enhances the flavor. In general, the higher the ratio of PG, the more sharp and clean the flavor.

VG produces sweetness and rich smoke

VG has the characteristic of being mildly stimulating with a hint of sweetness, making it heavier when smoked. A high ratio of VG produces a large amount of vapor, but the flavors are not as rich, so it is suitable for those who want to enjoy a smoke explosion. Another characteristic of VG is that it consumes quickly and takes time to soak into cotton due to its high viscosity. Care should be taken when using it at high voltages, as it may run dry and damage the coil unit.

Main types of flavors and recommended liquids There are countless types of flavors, ranging from orthodox flavors such as menthol, tobacco, fruit, and juice to more unique ones such as cake, Japanese sweets, alcohol, and sports drinks.
