Vape juice also referred to as e-juice or e-liquid has four main ingredients:
Vape juice is a viscous liquid that is used to fill an electronic cigarette or vape to deliver nicotine. Not to forget, you can always get vape juice without nicotine as well. The e-liquid is heated in the vape to generate a cloud of vapor.
You might be wondering, are the chemicals in vape juice safe to vape?
Before we dive into each of these vape juice ingredients, it’s important to know that all of these chemicals are considered “Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS)” by the FDA for human ingestion. However, the health effects of vaporizing or smoking these chemicals are not fully understood.
By the end of this article, you will understand:
We’ll start off with vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol since it makes up the majority of your e-juice content. Both of which are used as a humectant (substance to preserve moisture) in everyday household items for food and cosmetic products.

Because nicotine in vape juice is used as a quitting aid, 0 nic vape juice is also available. It can be used as the last step to lowering your nicotine intake for good.

Overall, vape juices still contain the same basic ingredients they did at the time this article was written.

Thank you for breaking this down for me. 😀 I’m a heavy smoker moving to vape in hopes I can taper down to no nic. 😏 Anyway, I guess I’m hoping these chemicals are less harsh than my PallMalls. I’m reading scary articles of formaldehyde etc. Is there a way to find out what exactly is in my vape juice?

Hey Trace, welcome to the vaping community! Glad to hear you’re considering quitting cigarettes!
As for your concern, here are the common nicotine levels on the market:
0.3% = 3 mg nicotine
0.6% = 6 mg
1.2% = 12 mg
2.4% = 24 mg (Cig-a-likes)
25 mg – 50 mg = Nicotine Salts
If you are a moderate smoker, I’m assuming you smoke half a pack a day. You would most likely fall in the 6 mg range. If that’s too much, you can always buy the 3 mg nicotine level. Just remember, the higher your nicotine level, the harsher your e-juice will taste.
However, nicotine salts are specifically made to make vaping at high nicotine strength bearable and smoother. Hence, the 25 mg-50 mg. If you want to try the nic salts, I would recommend 25 or 35 mg.
Unfortunately, the amount of nciotine in your cigarette does not equate to the nioctine level in your e-juice. This is because nicotine travels in your blood stream differently. Regular e-juice will take longer to feel the effects wheras with nicotine salts and cigarettes, you will feel it instantly.

Hello, the amount of vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG) are generally written on each juice bottle, as most juices will vary in the amount of VG and PG they contain. VG and PG generally make up the bulk of the liquid in an ejuice.
For example – A juice that’s labeled 50/50 VG/PG will contain nicotine, flavoring, and the rest of the bottle will be half VG and half PG. Another juice can be labeled 60/40 VG/PG. That juice will have a mix that is made of 40% VG and 60% PG.
