E-liquid question

[Steamix]

Whoa...

Generally, 'e-liquid' means ready to vape. Nicotine content either in the usual mg/ml or per cent ( 10mg/ml = 1 per cent ) is a must on the label. Not all vendors quote the PG/VG ratio. Then it's advisable to ask for that info. It's rare, but some vapers react allergic to one or the other main ingredient.

Flavour/Aroma/Concentrate is for DIY. As many of these come straight off the shelves of the food industry, they rarely carry a warning on the label about vaping. Websites do carry the warnings, though.

Previous post saying VG mostly water ... naw... regular VG usually comes with 14 to 16 percent dihydrogenmonoxide in it. Almost pure Vg ( 96 pcercent plus ) can be had, but it doesn't wick very well and needs to be diluted with water..

Safe to use for what? it only needs to be safe, so humans can ingest it.... any judge would recognize that.

It could be safe for direct skin contact (patches), ingestion (lozenges, gum etc) or even vaping. At this point, MFS is the only vendor I've seen that advertises a Nicotine base specifically designed for vaping. All other vendors simply note that 100mg/ml needs to be diluted.

As above, if it works for you, no harm, I'm just picky about what I inhale and from where it comes, even if it's from a reputable company before it's bottled down to smaller sizes . I feel more confident using a product from a company that does due diligence and labels their products correctly. I wouldn't buy chemicals from anywhere, regardless of what they are, if they didn't have some sort of labeling on them beyond just a name and concentration unless I was going MFG direct and that was their standard labeling system, which leaves it open to me, if I choose to resell, to ensure proper labeling applies.

Again, I'm picky about those types of things. Just like I wouldn't buy flavoring with just a name on it with no brand or other info about what it is.

.

that's exactly what im saying. if you tell people that they need to dilute the product before you can use it, because the current concentration is not safe "direct application". you are suggesting to the customer that this product is intended for human consumption. thus opening the door for a lot legal ramifications.

nicotine is not approved or safe for human consumption, plain and simple.

They don't need to have a specific application in mind, just note that it needs to be diluted before it's safe for application in general.

so what do you mean by "application in general"?

Just a quick question. 1st time buying e-liquid. I seen mention of concentrates which I'm not interested in at this point. If I see an e-liquid listed as having %PG/%VG am I safe to assume that is NOT a concentrate and is ready for immediate use?

Thanks!

In general, products will be labelled as "eLiquid", "flavoring", or "flavor concentrate". You want "eLiquid".

If you are purchasing from a web site, there are a couple of clues that you can use to verify that you are buying eLiquid. Try to add one to your cart. It should require you to select a size (usually 10ml, 15ml, 30ml, etc..), and it should let you select a nicotine level. Nicotine levels on eLiquid are generally in the 0-24mg range. Sometimes it will also let you select a PG/VG ratio, but not always.

Happydave and Tactical just got into a discussion of nicotine base, which is not what you were asking about, or looking for. If you see a nicotine content higher tham 24mg on what you are looking at, STOP. It is probably nicotine base. THat is NOT what you want.

Your assumption is NOT always correct. PG/VG ratio also applies to nicotine base as well. Stay away from that.

When in doubt, ask the vendor or post a link to the product in your post. If you don't own or work for the vendor, it is okay to post a link to a product as part of a question about it.
