Hello everyone!
I'm new to vaping and I've been doing a little research now that I am completely off of cigarettes and I keep coming across articles claiming that there are chemicals in the liquid that make vaping very dangerous for your health?
Well, I was wondering what brands of liquid you guys use? Are there more natural ones I should be looking for? Are there certain ingredients I should be avoiding? Are there liquids that are safer?
Thanks in advance!
As you can see from the responses here this is a fairly hot topic in the vape world currently. IMO it will stay this way for a while, mainly because I doubt we're going to get any good solid answers to most of the possible issues any time soon.
I make my own juices and use flavorings that are believed not to contain high amounts of diacetyl. The only organic flavoring I use is lemon extract, but only at 1 drop per 10 ml of juice. IMO synthetic flavorings are cleaner and thus likely safer. Making my own juices means I at least know what ingredients are in them. If I were buying ready made juice I would use suppliers who are safety conscious and do enough to make me satisfied their products are reasonably safe.
There are other safety issues with vaping too. I stop vaping and fix things if my juice starts to taste a bit off, burnt hits are not healthy. I don't overheat my coils to avoid the likelihood of nasty chemicals being created and use wicking materials I feel are reasonably safe. I use glass bottles to store juice liquids. I try not to vape too much juice per day.
All this works for me, but YMMV. You got some great links in this thread to more information on a few topics. All you can really do is learn what you can and make up your own mind about things.
Good luck with it
