Are e-liquids vegan?

图片
We are often asked if our e-liquids are vegan or if there is a way to tell whether vape juice is vegan or not — if it's not marked as vegan on the label. Because there are so many different e-liquids on the market, it would be difficult to say with absolute certainty that ALL e-liquids are vegan. However, most e-liquids probably are — simply based on the ingredients they contain, which, in most cases do not contain any animal by-products. E-liquids have a base of vegetable glycerine (VG), propylene glycol (PG) or a combination of both. Vegetable Glycerin (or VG), just as the name suggests, is plant-based and Propylene Glycerol (or PG) is a synthetic chemical made from petroleum products. Both PG and VG are generally considered vegan. However, some PG manufacturers have confirmed that there may be animal by-products involved in the process of creating propylene glycol — and if this specific type of PG is used in your vape juice, then it would not be vegan. If there is no way for

iQ Vaping: How to choose the right PG/VG ratio

Here at iQ Vaping, we focus on helping new vapers efficiently transition from smoking to vaping. If you are a seasoned vaper, you probably know all about PG/VG ratios and what works best for you. If you are relatively new to the habit, however, choosing the right mix may be a challenge. This is why we have prepared a quick and to-the-point guide with tips on choosing the right PG/VG ratio. So, how do you choose the right PG/VG ratio? There are two key things to consider here: what kind of kit you have and what you want to get out of the experience. Let's start with experience. The throat hit : if you are looking for a sharp throat hit when vaping then you'll prefer a high PG vape— and the stronger "kick" is something a lot of ex-smokers crave as it's closer to what they used to experience when smoking cigarettes. Smoothness: High VG vape juices, on the other hand, offer a smoother feeling on the throat. Cloud chasing: if you like exhaling dense clouds of vapor,

Your Mini Guide To Spit-Back And How To Avoid It?

Spit-back can be quite an unpleasant experience. And whether you have experienced it or haven't had the pleasure just yet — we are sure you want to avoid it. In this mini-guide, we will try to give you all the information you need about what spit-back is and what you can do to avoid it. What Is Spit-Back? In vaping, spit-back is when your coil  "spits" a small amount of heated e-liquid back as you are trying to inhale. As you can see from the description, it's rarely a pleasant occurrence. How And Why Does Spit-Back Happen? Spit-back happens when your e-liquid vaporizes too quickly and turns into a hot bubble, which then bursts with hot vape juice. This is similar to when you accidentally pour some water on a heated pan — it will spit back violently. However, if you pour lots of water on the heated pan, the reaction will be subdued and you won't get a spit-back. In the same way, a coil that is well-saturated should not give you spit-back. Spit-back ca

iQ Vaping: Why Nic Salts?

Most of our devices are designed for vaping nic salts. This includes our lightest and delightest iQ AIR and the compact but powerful iQ ONE (which actually comes with two interchangeable coils so that you have your choice of nic salts and free base). So why do we prefer nic salts? There are a few things we've considered. Nic salts are typically recommended for ex heavy smokers as they allow for high nicotine concentrations — nic salt e-liquids can go up to 50mg/ml. If you are an ex-smoker and are new to vaping, nic salts may prove to be the most workable solution as they can closely mimic the sensation you used to get from smoking. Thus, there is a lower risk of you going back to smoking. Nic salts are a great fit for low wattage devices. And compact low wattage devices are (in most cases) the best fit for new vapers as they come with almost no learning curve and minimal maintenance letting you get started with vaping right away. Low wattage devices tend to be compact,
