Vapor Shack Joins the e Cigarette Debate

(Newswire.net — May 16, 2014) St. Petersburg, FL. — e Cigarettes are like any other consumable product, the quality of the ingredients has everything to do with the end product. Much of the press on e Cigarettes offers a biased viewpoint of the industry, and not offering an explanation on why they are making statements. Vapor Shack of St. Petersburg, FL. is on the mission of offering a healthier alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes, and wants to set the record straight.

“There are only a few ingredients used to make e Cigarette flavors,” explains one of the owners of the new Vapor Shack St. Petersburg, FL. e Cigarette shop, “which include the Nicotine extract, the flavoring, and the mixing agent which is Propylene Glycol, and/or Vegetable Glycerin.

Let’s examine each of these ingredients individually. In each and every batch of e Cigarette flavoring there is Nicotine extract. This is a very important ingredient to know everything about, because tobacco is filled with toxins. As with any industry, many people are in it for the money and will use the lowest grade, cheapest ingredients they can find.

 

Using an e Cigarette vapor that is made from the highest quality Nicotine that was extracted in an FDA approved lab, is the only one that should be used. The picture shows the difference in the Nicotine extract (which is clear) that Vapor Shack in St. Petersburg, FL. uses for their hand mixed flavors, and the type that most of the other e cigarette juice makers use (the darker one) which is filled with toxins from the tobacco plant. Not only are all the things found in the dark Nicotine extract not healthy, they bleed into the taste.

 

The next ingredient is the mixing agent, the Propylene Glycol and the Vegetable Glycerin. The best e juice mix is a 50/50 mix of these two. There are a few people that are allergic to Propylene Glycol, and should use a 100% Vegetable Glycerin mix. The Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin that the Vapor Shack in St. Petersburg, FL. uses are USP Kosher, which is the highest grade available. Some people think they are allergic to the Proplylene Glycol, however, they are really having an issue with the low quality types used in most e Cigarette juices that are not using USP Kosher grade. The grade of these mixing agents also will affect the taste, and inexpensive low grade ones will come through in the flavor of the e juice.

Now the last ingredient is the flavoring, which having so many to choose from is one of the perks of using an e cigarette in the first place. The new e cigarette shop in St. Petersburg, FL. only uses the highest quality food grade flavorings for their hand mixed e juices. This makes a big difference in the flavor, because many of the e juices available are pre-mixed with a low quality non food grade flavoring that is filled with chemicals.

Another problem with a pre-mixed flavoring is the age. Just as with any food product, which these essentially are because they are made with food grade ingredients, they only last a certain period of time. The consumer has no way of knowing how old the pre-mixed flavors really are. How long they sat in a warehouse, or how long they have been sitting on the retail shelf. The Vapor Shack in St. Petersburg, FL. hand mixes their flavors from ingredients that have been kept refrigerated, and explains to clients to use them within 6 weeks of purchase. This makes all the difference in the taste and healthiness of the product.

Vapor Shack of St. Petersburg, FL. displays the current certificate of analysis and FDA inspection certificates for the FDA certified Nicotine extract, USP Kosher Poly Glycol, and USP Kosher Vegetable Glycerin used in their hand mixed e cigarette juice to provide a healthier alternaive for vaping enthusiasts.
