VapeBerry Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I've been wondering lately, everywhere you see vaping referred to as inhaling water vapor. But, there's no water in e-liquid. How does vaporizing juice scientifically produce water vapor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Some eliquid does have distilled water in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapeBerry Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 True, but isn't vaping pretty much vaporized PG/VG, or does vaporizing these molecules somehow condense water in the air thus producing the vapor we all know and love?

Earthling789 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 In essence, YES, it is water vapor. The PG and Nicotine are rapidly absorbed by the body, and on the exhale, trace (but measurable) amounts of Glycerine are found, but mostly it is water. There is an older study (which was quite conclusive on these findings), which found the exhale to be mostly water, with trace amounts of Glycerine, extremely low traces of nicotine (1/35th the level of passive second-hand smoke of a traditional cigarette), and zero findings of toxic or carcinogenic substances. Also notable in the study: No glycerine was detected in air during cigarette smoking. On the other hand,72μg/m3 were detected during e-smoking. This amount is much lower than the threshold safety imit (TWA-TLV10mg/m3)and much lower than the threshold for moderate risk. However, it’s important to note that acrolein, a molecule formed by dehydration of glycerine due to high temperatures, was present in the air of the room during cigarette smoking test (20μg/m3). In fact, it is well known that glycerine is often added to moisten tobacco. During combustion glycerine is transformed into acrolein. The fact that no combustion is involved when using e-cigarettes probably plays a fundamental role in the absence of acrolein from indoor air during their use. As everyone knows, acrolein is a very toxic and irritating substance. Moreover it is currently suspected of having a fundamental role in the carcinogenic process. vaping_jake, spydre, @hope_photography123 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elberto34 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 E- Liquid is the fluid that fuels the Electronic Cigarette. It is what provides the nicotine solution and the flavoring to your Electronic Cigarette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydre Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks for the info, Earthling. I've heard that the majority of the carcinogens in tobacco cigarettes, including the tobacco itself, are not actually carcinogenic unless burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
