What is in a Vape?

In a vape, there're battery, wick, coil... but that's not what we're interested in, let's see what chemicals are in the vape juice:
  • Nicotine: Nicotine is the key chemical substance in a vape. Most vapes you see contains about 3% or 5% nicotine, and there's also nicotine-free vapes.
  • Propylene Glycol (PG): Propylene Glycol helps to evenly distribute flavors in the liquid and provide a stronger throat-hit feeling.
  • Vegetable Glycerin (VG): Vegetable Glycerin helps to produce a large amount of vapor, making the vaping experience smoother.
  • Flavorings: They are organic compounds, and there can be hundreds of flavor components in each e - liquid, including various natural or synthetic flavors, which are used to create different taste experiences, such as fruit flavors, dessert flavors, etc.

Is Formaldehyde in Vapes?

Maybe, when the e-liquid is heated to produce vapor, PG and VG may undergo pyrolysis and oxidation reactions. Under high-temperature conditions, they can be decomposed to produce formaldehyde. However, it can be avioded:
  • Do not vape excessively as that might overheat the vape device. Take slow, steady puffs and make sure to give sufficient time for the vape device to cool down after each puff.
  • Do not "dry puff". Dry puff means there's not enough vape juice (e-liquid) in a vape and every puff is actually buring up its wick and coil, which as you can imagine, not good for your health.
