WARNING

The higher the quality of an e-liquid, the better the vaping experience. Lanavape offers e-liquids from brands that use high-quality and reliably-sourced ingredients.

The majority of e-liquids contain just four main ingredients, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavourings and nicotine (optional).

Propylene Glycol

Propylene Glycol (PG) is an artificial mixing agent which is used in a lot of food and medicinal products such as ointments, body creams, makeup and asthma inhalers.

It is non-toxic and safe for human consumption, PG is odourless when heated and when mixed with nicotine, it gives a simulated throat hit. If you are looking for a stronger flavour and a more harsh throat hit from the nicotine then a higher PG based e-liquid is recommended.

Vegetable Glycerine

VG is a derivative of vegetable oil and is also recognised as a safe substance for consumption. It is used to thicken the consistency of e-liquid, which in turn creates the dense vapour clouds associated with sub-ohm vaping.

Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is a natural mixing agent which will control the amount of vapour production within an e-liquid. It is considered a safe substance for consumption and is used common foods such as baked goods, grains, cheese and processed vegetables

When you're choosing your e-liquid, there are two choices that you're going to need to make: what nicotine strength you're looking for and what flavor you're interested in trying first.

You can figure out what nicotine strength you're looking for by the number of cigarettes that you smoke in a day:

1 to 5 cigarettes a day: 0.6%

5 to 15 cigarettes a day: 1.0%

15 to 20 cigarettes a day: 1.4%

20 or more cigarettes a day: 1.8%

The fewer cigarettes that you smoke, the less nicotine you'll need. The above numbers aren't set in stone and are more of a reference for you choose your first e-liquid.

If you're vaping a certain strength of nicotine and notice that you're still feeling the need to smoke more, you may need to slightly increase the nicotine strength of the juice you're using. On the other hand, if you feel like you're getting too much nicotine, you should reduce the nicotine strength of the juice that you're using.

E-Liquid Flavours

Choosing an e-liquid flavor is a bit more complex for a process, but it's also part of the process that people enjoy the most! Since taste is so subjective, it can tough to recommend a perfect flavor to a new vaper. What your fellow vaping friends may recommend maybe a flavor that you can't stand.

If you're a new vaper that's switching over from smoking, try starting off with a menthol or tobacco flavor, as they're both flavors that you're likely familiar with and can make the switch from smoking a bit easier. Once you've gotten used to vaping, you can always begin experimenting with the hundreds of other flavors that are available!

Make sure that when you're first starting out, to take things slow. Give your body plenty of time to adjust the new e-liquid that you've picked out.

If you're going to be tempted to light up a cigarette outside the pub, first thing in the morning or after a meal make sure you have a plan to stop yourself from smoking. If you are able to, avoid these situations for the first few weeks to make sure that you don't start smoking again.

Don't Give up

Nicotine is addictive and the habit of smoking is even more addictive. Some people can go cold turkey and stop smoking overnight. However, most smokers will go back to smoking before they can fully quit. Be realistic and don't give up!
