Vaping’s uncool? My lungs don’t care about your fashion tips

Excellent article, except:
The e-juice is a mixture of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, dye, flavouring and nicotine.
Wut? I'm not aware of any e-liquids that use colorings. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen such a liquid in the flesh in the 3-1/2 years I've been vaping.

My only problem here is that people seem to have forgotten that whatever you vape has a decimal in it.

He doesn't vape 6mgs of nicotine, he vapes 0.6mgs and that is a HUGE difference. No, not 30mgs, 3.0.

Huh? My current mix is 13 mg/ml. No decimal point. The decimal point only gets involved if you express nicotine content as a percentage. My current mix is 1.3% nic.

Oh I see. I remember when I first started vaping and everything was expressed in percentages. At least where I lived. So 3mg is 0.3% nicotine? Got it.

Correct. One ml of water weighs 1 gram. One mg is 1/1000 of a gram, or 0.1% of a gram. So your 3mg/ml is 0.3% nicotine (by volume).

Since the specific gravity of PG and VG are both a bit higher than water (1.04 and 1.26 respectively), it's actually a bit less than 0.3% by weight.

Yeah, the dye comment was ignorant, but the rest of his commentary was right on!

I tried out LorAnn's maraschino cherry for some mix, and it's a very dark red, which results in a pink ejuice. I've heard that Lorann's also has clear versions of their flavors, but somehow I got the colored version of that.

The flavor wasn't bad, but I decided that a) maraschino really wasn't what I was going for, and b) artificial coloring can't be a good thing for my lungs.
