The number one question faced at Vapor4life, an electronic cigarette distributor worldwide, is “What’s in the juice known as propylene glycol?” Maybe the question posed by the consumers should be “What’s NOT in the juice?”
Numerous studies have shown that conventional tobacco cigarettes can contain upwards of 4000 toxic chemicals. Decades of research has shown that these chemicals cause cancerous cell growth, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and numerous other life-shortening illnesses. Around the globe, smokers struggle to get away from these dangerous ?death sticks? but often find that their dependency on nicotine makes cessation nearly impossible.
Now there is an alternative. In 2003 electronic cigarettes (e-Cigarettes) emerged from China. This new technology, created as an alternative to traditional smoking, involves no combustion whatsoever and offers a simple way for users to satisfy their nicotine cravings through inhalation of nicotine transported via an agent which is commonly used in numerous pharmaceutical and household items, propylene glycol.
The electronic cigarette user, or ?vaper?, uses a battery operated vaporizer. Liquid (also referred to as ?nobacco juice? and ?e-juice?) is heated to produce a visible vapor that resembles cigarette smoke. The ?vaper? inhales the vapor and receives a similar sensation to inhaling smoke while receiving their nicotine that they crave. Electronic cigarettes produce no smoke, no distinct odor, and nor do they burn or create any combustion. It has heads turning and has people questioning the age old adage ?Where there is smoke, there is fire.? This couldn?t be further from the truth.
Vapor4Life touts it?s 2 piece models, known as The Original Vapor King comprised of a battery, a cartomizer (atomizer/cartridge one piece unit) , which offers a smoker the sensation of inhaling ?smoke? via water vapor that is produced by propylene glycol while acting as an agent of transport for flavoring and the nicotine that the user craves while satisfying the hand-to-mouth habit that is developed through smoking. That is a mouthful for what consumers have begun to call ?vaping? or ?vape? – and just like that, a verb is born.
Comprised of propylene glycol, food grade flavorings and nicotine; the ?juice? delivering the nicotine takes advantage of a commonly known as the element in fog machines that creates the artificial fog. Propylene glycol is also the component in asthma inhalers that creates the mist that delivers the crucial medication to the asthmatic patient. It is also the main element in gel capsules containing over-the-counter and prescription medications. Oral, inject-able and topical pharmaceutical formulations often use propylene glycol as the carrier of medications.
Propylene glycol is a colorless, nearly odorless, organic compound. Studies conducted in 1942 by Dr. Oswald Hope Robertson of University of Chicago’s Billings Hospital showed vaporized propylene glycol inhalation in laboratory mice may prevent pneumonia, influenza, and other respiratory diseases. Additional studies in monkeys and other animals were undertaken to determine longterm effects, especially the potential for accumulation in the lungs. After a few months of treatment, no ill effects were discovered. (1)
Members of the electronic cigarette industry are, more often than not, users of electronic cigarettes themselves who are seeking an alternative to the conventional tobacco cigarette. ?We don?t claim that this is smoking cessation product line. We are looking to provide an alternative to smoking that allows the user to get their nicotine? says Dave Stepen, Executive Vice President of Operations and Marketing for Vapor4Life. ?Vapor4Life?s goal is to provide it?s customers with the most flavorful and effective use of this new technology. ? The primary ingredient in Vapor4Life?s tasty ?nobacco juice? is none other than propylene glycol. ?We only use the highest quality propylene glycol in our juice and our manufacturers take incredible steps to ensure that we deliver the best flavors without having to take shortcuts in quality assurance.? states Mr. Stepen.
With starter kits as low as $ 45.00, e-cigarettes are drastically cheaper than traditional tobacco cigarettes, as well as being more public friendly due to the lack of odor. The renowned model of e-cigarette sold by Vapor4Life is the Original Vapor King KR808D-1, being one of the most popular models available due to the extensive flavor variety and ease of use of the prefilled cartomizer and battery unit.
Vapor4Life, founded in Northbrook, IL in 2009 by Steve ?Smilin?, is one of the largest providers of electronic cigarettes in the United States. Offering the revolutionary Original Vapor King, Vapor4Life offers more than 130 flavors of ?nobacco juice? for their customers to choose from. ?We want to be the best. In order to be the best, we listen to our customers and treat them as we?d like to be treated.? says Smilin, CEO of Vapor4Life.
Vapor4Life?s flagship Original Vapor King, outstanding customer service, no hassle warranty, and wide variety of Nobacco juice flavors; has brought them more than 40,000 customers worldwide, proving them to be a force to be reckoned with in the e-Cigarette industry. ?We just want to do it right.? Smilin says humbly.
Since 2003 electronic cigarettes have taken the world by storm. With over a million of smokers now using the smoke-free electronic cigarette alternative to get their nicotine fix, it has become clear that electronic cigarettes have carved their place in the world and are here to stay.
