Which Ingredients You Can Find in Your E cigarette


In the recent years the awareness about the health risks tied to tobacco cigarettes among Australians has been growing, so has the desire to find a suitable replacement. Electronic cigarettes were and still are one of the alternatives about which there’s a great fuss. Although banned by law in Australia, smokers still have the possibility to order an E cigarette with a medical prescription.

What’s in the E cigars? Are E cigarettes a healthier alternative to tobacco cigarettes? These are the two main question about which there are still many dilemmas and doubts. Truth be told, E cigarettes contain the main highly addictive substance found in tobacco cigarettes. What’s the difference then? — You will probably ask. The difference is in the additives, smoke and large number of chemicals (big number of them proven to be carcinogenic) contained in the traditional cigarettes.

Simply put, nicotine has its negative effects on your body, but not inasmuch as the other poisonous ingredients found in tobacco cigarettes. This is not the case with the electronic cigarettes. Besides the basic construction consisting of battery, atomizer and mouthpiece (cartridge), the electronic cigarette contains liquid. To refill liquid in your preferred flavour is all you have to do after you purchase an E cig. However, besides the flavours you can choose according to your preferences, the basic substances in each liquid include:

  • Nicotine — This is the prime substance that is “responsible” for the nicotine addiction and smoker’s cravings for tobacco cigarettes. In E cigs you can choose among several nicotine levels, depending on how heavy smoker you are. Unlike the rest substances contained in traditional cigarettes, nicotine is not carcinogenic.
  • Flavourings — There’s a broad range of E cigarette flavours to choose from. Anytime you refill liquid for your E cigarette you can choose different flavours such as fruit flavours, flavours of tobacco, vanilla, cinnamon and even food flavours such as cheesecake for example.
  • Propylene glycol — This is lab-made substance that is labeled as safe for use in the production of cosmetics, medicines and food.
  • Glycerin — What you need to know about glycerin when you refill liquid for your E cigarette, is that this substance has sweet taste and is colorless and doesn’t leave any odor. It’s used in foods and drugs as well.
