Hello from a newbie

[Lizzy_Drippin']

Hi all. Just joined today

I have recently got myself and Ego and a clearomizer,,yeyy! Going to give vaping a try after 20 years of smoking.
Anyway, I bought a menthol eliquid, but was quite taken aback when I read the ingredients. There are Oils in it, like orange oil, nutmeg and ginger oil! I spoke to a friend of mine who has been vaping a while now, and advised me anything with Oils is dangerous and carcinogenic. Ok, I hear you say, but so was pumping cigs into your lungs day after day. But, I have started on this to avoid all the "nasties" that came with ciggys. So thought I would join here to ask you all.
Any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks Guys!

Lizzy

Hi Lizzy does your juice have a brand name? A lot of the chinese juices use the word oil interchangeably with liquid and it can be a bit misleading. Generally essential oils are never used in eliquids.

Hiya.
That is what my friend says....It says ASH Eliquid on the box.

Not familiar with the brand but if from a reputable ecig vendor should be okay.

Welcome to the great world of vaping. There is a ton of knowledge on this forum. It will only overwhelm you if you let it. Congrats on dropping the smokes.

Hello Lizzy_Drippin'! Welcome to ECF and congrats on your decision to vape instead of smoking.

Welcome to ECF!
I would toss that liquid, there are plenty of reputable vendors in the ECF suppliers section.

It was bought from a recently opened dedicated Ecig shop, my friend was not familiar with it neither.

I see there is a chat room, I would like to participate, if that is OK? What channel do I need to enter?

Hi Lizzy.

I'm afraid you are correct to worry. Oils (even if flavour oils) are strictly a no-no.

What concerns me more is that you have bought from a store which thinks this is acceptable.

Would you consider PMing me the name of the store and/or the brand of the e-liquid?

....it is possible that you have some Chinese liquid which has substituted the word oil for flavouring, of course, but I'm not sure you want to be vaping that anyway.

I can help with finding other liquid, if you are interested.

Dave.

Yeah, toss it. Look around online you can find great vendors such as Velvet Cloud Vapor that uses Organic liquid. Pretty sure they make their own flavoring as well, I could be wrong. Going organic is a good choice for juice and it tastes great as well!
