Is e juice vegan? is e liquid vegan? are e cigs vegan? Cruelty-free e juice cruelty-free e liquid cig

I get this PM from time to time, so I'm writing this to be searched easier.

Most e juice is %100 vegan. You might find some with animal-based glycerin or something but it's very uncommon. Email the supplier and they'll usually tell you it's vegan. Same with DIY flavors, which many already note are vegan.

PG, VG, artificial and natural flavors, and liquid nicotine were probably tested on animals for FDA approval. But you'd probably have to buy like 1,000 gallons of PG usually sourced from DOW to give a penny of support towards future testing DOW might do. There are many things you can do to compensate for the 1 penny like using less electricity etc.
Living %100 cruelty-free isn't possible for most if not all people. If you're reading this, your computer might be built using animal products and painted with chemicals tested on animals. Even if you support the broccoli industry by eating a lot of broccoli, an anti-broccoli company might fight for market share by giving a bunch of rabbits cancer then feeding them only broccoli to say broccoli doesn't help fight cancer.

I really appreciate this.

So it would stand to reason that most VG is indeed vegetable based, not from animal parts?

 

[caveat]

Good thing!

Hey, this is important to me, what can I say. I think vaping animal products is disgusting

WOAH WOAH WOAH! Are you telling me that vegetable glycerin comes from... vegetables? That's it. Where's my beef glycerin?

All in jest, naturally.

Vegetable glycerin is sort of self explanatory, and you might think all e-liquid would be vegan and not come from animals, but many "natural" flavorings do.

Just don't ask where raspberry flavoring comes from if you don't want to know (Hint-it's not always from raspberries).

I vape unflavored, so it's not an issue for me... I HAVE TO ask though... Where does raspberry natural flavoring come from, if not from natural raspberries?

Raspberry, Strawberry and Vanilla "natural" flavorings can come from animal sources.

Oh god... That's disgusting, and I'm not vegan.

Other people reading this thread: Do NOT click that link and scroll up to read where castoreum comes from. Accept that it's a "not fruit" chemical, and move on.

Oh no! Guess, I'm not vegan anymore.
Well, most flavorings are chemical formulations created in a lab anyway. C'est la vie!

 

[Brianbotkiller]

Yeah, I mean, I am Vegan, so this stuff is a bigger deal to me. It's just another thing to be informed about, really.

Think we can get a group buy going on beef glycerin?


That wiki about where certain flavorings come from is somewhat disturbing... Although it isn't going to make me stop enjoying certain flavors... Am I just gross or what?

Always nice to be reminded of what "natural" and even organic can mean. Thank you ever so much, Underwhelmed.

 

[Ardy]

So what vegetables are used in the making of vegetable glycerin ?

Isn't this a hoot !

Other uses

Castoreum is also used to contribute to the flavor and odor of cigarettes

 

[patkin]

Well, I guess if you're vaping organic (allegedly natural) beef, chicken, fish,egg or custard juice you should check with the vendor. Frankly, I don't see how an atomizer would hold up to something like that after say one single puff. "Custard" btw is not "custard" when it comes to ejuice... its a chemical that gives the effect and flavor of custard... no eggs were used in the production of this juice.
