Not that it matters because I'm going to vape anyways because I really like it. Especially my blueberry waffle with extra maple syrup , ry4, chocolate chip cookie, strawberry cake batter, Heavenly tobacco... (Oops, got off on a tangent there for a second didn't I??) So here's my question...


How does propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, nicotine and flavoring, when heated, inhaled and exhaled, create water vapor?

 

[Jarbs]

it doesn't create water vapor.

It doesn't create water vapor. Think of a fog machine. That's what you're creating. It's a fog, rather than mist, or water vapor.

Why It's Called An 'E-Cigarette' And 'E-Smoking'

My simpleton way of thinking that "water-based aerosol" would be the same thing as water vapor.

Water or Aqueous based:

"What is an Aqueous Solution?"

One Answer (there are several that refer to water):

"An aqueous solution is a mixture of two or more substances. The mixture is homogenous, meaning the substances are dispersed equally throughout the solution. It is also usually liquid."

Our PG and VG are miscible in water. And could be diluted with water, if desired. Nebulizers used for breathing treatments sometimes employ saline — sterile salt water, or just plain water.

Theydon't. They actually combine with waterto give the vapor its volume. Substances that do this are called humectants, meaning they like to bond or dissolve with water molecules. What you see on the exhale are the resulting particles that form when the substance and water combine.

I try to make it a habit to correct people when they say it's water vapor. The only way you'd be able to get water vapor is to vape water...no fun there.

As in saliva which is 99.5% water. I think I'm getting now. Thanks.

Technically, I think it's a condensate. If it was still vapor, I'd be a gas.

(You asked for it!)
