What are the chemicals in cartomizers??? Are they safer than normal cigarettes?

[parkay77]

Hello!!!

This has been a lingering question of mine. I am wondering what exact chemicals are in these cartomizers? I know it's a silly question when I have smoked regular cigs for about 16yrs. Just wanted to see if it's a heck of a lot safer than regular ones. Does anyone have any input on this??

Thanks!! That did help out, quite a bit! I am so new to the e-cig, so one more question? What is PG and VG?

They are the base of the mix. Some people claim to have reactions to PG so they just vape VG. I like a blend like 60% PG and 40% vg. More PG the more flavor, less vapor. Hope this helps. I tried searching for a good thread on it but, I failed to find it. Good luck!

There are also those who react to VG but not PG ... seems a smaller percentage, but we exist all the same. I react to 100% VG (shortness of breath and coughing), but can use 70/30 PG/VG.
