Freebase E-Juice

E-juice is primarily made from four main ingredients: propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavorings, and optional nicotine. Here is a list of their primary roles.

• Propylene Glycol - A thin, odorless liquid that helps carry the flavor in your vape juice and provides a throat hit similar to smoking. The higher the PG content, the stronger the throat hit.
• Vegetable Glycerin - A thicker liquid that helps produce large vapor clouds and adds a smooth, slightly sweet taste. A higher VG ratio in your e-liquid results in bigger clouds and smoother hits.
• Flavorings - They are food-grade, vapor-safe compounds that give vape juice its taste and are available in endless options, including fruity, candy, dessert, and tobacco flavors.
• Nicotine - This ingredient in vape juice usually comes in 3 mg, 6 mg, or 12 mg strengths and can sometimes give you a buzz.

No, vape juice does not contain actual sugar. However, many e-liquids use sweeteners—like sucralose or ethyl maltol—to enhance flavor, especially in fruity or dessert-style vapes.

Yes, they do expire. Vape juice usually lasts 1-2 years from the manufacturing date, depending on storage and ingredients. Over time, the ingredients and nicotine can degrade, affecting both flavor and strength. Most manufacturers include a manufacturing date or expiration date, so it’s important to check before use.

Yes, you can bring vape juice on a plane, but there are important guidelines to follow:

• Carry-On Luggage: E-liquids must be in bottles of 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or smaller. You can bring multiple bottles, but they must all fit in a sealable, clear, one-quart-sized bag.
• Check-In Luggage: There are no size restrictions for vape juice in checked luggage. Be sure to pack vape juice securely to avoid leaks or spills.
• Usage: Vaping or charging your device on airplanes is strictly prohibited.
• International Travel: If you're flying internationally, be sure to check the local laws and regulations regarding bringing vapes into the country.

Diacetyl is a chemical compound used to create rich, buttery, or creamy flavor profiles in e-liquids. While it’s safe to consume in foods like microwave popcorn, inhaling diacetyl can lead to lung conditions, including bronchiolitis obliterans, commonly known as “popcorn lung."

Due to these health risks, most high-quality vape juice brands avoid using diacetyl in their products. That’s why it’s important to buy vape juice from reputable manufacturers that prioritize safety and transparency.
