Finding Your Perfect E Liquid Flavour

What should you choose?
Finding your perfect E Liquid flavour isn’t always easy. Many people looking to quit smoking are often intimidated and overwhelmed when trying to find a flavour they think they will like. What’s even worse is when you think a product looks nice, ordering it and waiting a couple of days on delivery and then finding out it tastes terrible. Don’t always judge a book by it’s cover.

There is no simple answer to ‘What’s the best E Liquid’ as everyone's taste buds and preferences are different. We’ll leave it down to you to decide which is best as you explore the endless selection of flavours available to you.

Most people looking to quit smoking think that they should get either a Tobacco E Liquid flavour or a Menthol E Liquid flavour. Though this may work for some people it won’t work for all as you’ll always be comparing it to the taste of a cigarette. This can lead to people giving up and going back to smoking.

We recommend looking around for different flavour types and seeing what works for you. Which is why we want to discuss the popular ones with you. The main groups are Fruity, Desserts, Tobacco, Candy, Menthol

Fruity E Liquid Flavours

Fruity flavours are the most popular types, because you can get pretty much get any fruit flavour you desire. Not only can you get single fruit flavoured E Liquid but also multiple flavours mixed in perfectly together.

Pachamama is famous for their fruity flavours, one of their flavours includes Mint Leaf, Honeydew, Berry and kiwi. All their flavours have multiple fruits blended perfectly together.

There are thousands of different combinations. You may even hate eating Kiwis, however an E Liquid which contains Kiwi Flavourings could actually be your favourite flavour. Flavour concentrates are also used to enhance another flavour. So our advice would be to not say no and take a chance, you may end up finding your all day vape.

Dessert E Liquid Flavours

How often do you turn down a dessert when you go out for a meal? Not often I suppose, it’s the same with E Liquid, it’s very difficult to say no to some of your favourite desserts.

You will be amazed at how accurate they can be, Apple Pie, Lemon tart, Tiramisu, the list is endless. You will also find that one companies version of Lemon meringue pie could be completely different from another brands version. Always feel free to try different companies out.

The next time you pick up a Dessert E Liquid you should close your eyes, imagine a plate of the same Dessert and see if it truly does compare.

Tobacco E Liquid Flavours

You would be surprised at how many different types of Tobacco flavours are on the market. The most popular Tobacco E Liquid has to be the famous RY4 which consists of tobacco, caramel and nuts. Others may prefer to stick to a dry tobacco or a sweet virginia.


Some manufacturers such as Tobacco Bastards have gone the extra step to create some amazing flavours which mixes tobacco with, bourbon, whisky, nuts, coffee, mint and even a meaty flavour.

As we’ve said before Tobacco E Liquids are very popular for people wanting to quit smoking as most people still want the taste of tobacco in their mouth.

Menthol E Liquid Flavours

Menthol Flavoured E Liquids are very popular among vapers because of it’s cooling properties. It is widely used in food and medicine so why shouldn't it be used in E Liquids?

It is the cooling agent in the menthol which has made these flavours popular. Other than Tobacco flavoured E Liquid Menthol is the next most purchased Flavour category among new vapers who are quitting smoking.

Most people think that Menthol E Liquids is your bog standard, Menthol, Spearmint or peppermint..Oh how wrong they are. It is often used in many Fruit E Liquid flavours as well as Candy E Liquid flavours. Menthol actually works well to break down and soften the taste of stronger flavours such as citrus fruits. If done correctly you can get a pleasant cool aftertaste to E Liquids.

With the new ban of menthol cigarettes which has come into play since 20th May 2020, we’re sure there will be an influx of people wanting to quit smoking and use vaping menthol E Liquid as an alternative. You can read our blog on the Menthol Ban here

Candy E Liquid Flavours

I don’t think it matters how old you are, everyone likes sweets and candy. Whether it’s Skittles, lemon sherbet, humbugs or Fruit salads, we will never stop liking it.

We have kept the category of Candy separate from Desserts as a chocolate cake E Liquid is too different to a fruity Jaw breaker E Liquid.

Candy E Liquids are great for taking a trip down memory lane, taking your first inhale on a fleshly cottoned coil with Candy Kings Sour Worms E Liquid will give you an amazing nostalgic feeling.

Candy E Liquid is very popular in the vaping world, it’s very difficult to not buy everything you see. Browsing through the candy category on any site reminds you of being a kid and wanting everything from the pick & mix aisle.

One of our most popular ones are from Double drip with their fruity sherbets range.

At Jumponthevape we do our best to bring you amazing E Liquids at affordable prices. After placing an order you will receive an email from Trust Pilot asking for a review, this helps us grow and also gives you the ability to leave fantastic feedback for any of the flavours you’ve tried.

[jumponthevape]

If you’re a smoker that’s looking to quit, you may have heard of vaping and wondered if that is the best option for you. While vaping has become increasingly popular over the last few years, many people don’t really know what vaping is, how it works or the benefits of vaping, especially when compared to smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes.

Vaping is when you smoke an electronic cigarette, also called an e-cigarette or e-cig. But what is an electronic cigarette? It’s not a high tech version of a tobacco cigarette, which is a common misconception. E-cigarettes produce vapor from the liquid inside that, if you want, contains nicotine. It is a healthier, smoke-free way to deliver nicotine making it a great way to transition away from traditional cigarettes if you’re looking to quit smoking.

Is vaping better for you than smoking?
By far, one of the most important and talked about benefits of vaping is that it’s better for your health than smoking. There have been plenty of studies that prove this as well as first-hand accounts of people who feel better when they switch to vaping from smoking.

For example, according to an article published in New Scientist “Those who ditched cigarettes and vaped instead saw their blood vessel function increase by around 1.5 percentage points within four weeks compared with those who continued smoking.” That same article continues to explain that for every 1% in improvement in vascular health, you lower your risk of cardiovascular events by 13%.

Additionally, although you might have heard some negative opinions on vaping in the news lately, Public Health England has reported that Vaping is still 95% less harmful than smoking.

So if your health is important to you and you find that you’re ready to quit smoking, then vaping might be the best way to gently transition yourself and your body away from traditional tobacco cigarettes.

Vaping is affordable
When you switch to vaping from tobacco products, you should see a clear difference in the amount of money you are spending on a regular basis. Traditional tobacco products are expensive, partly due to being heavily taxed, so if you are a heavy smoker that cost truly adds up and can easily become a financial burden.

While electronic vaping does have a slightly higher initial investment because you will have to purchase vape pens and other accessories, these initial purchases last a long time as long as you purchase quality items and take care of them. Once you’ve purchased these items the ongoing cost will easily be less than half when compared to the cost of smoking cigarettes heavily.



Vaping doesn’t smell bad
One of the biggest deterrents of smoking tobacco products is the smell. It’s hard not to constantly smell like an ashtray when you’re smoking many cigarettes on a daily basis. Because the smell of tobacco smoke is very strong and tends to linger, it can be a bother not only to you, but probably more noticeably the people around you who aren’t smokers.

When you vape, you are inhaling a vapor and there is no smoke involved so when you switch to vaping you can ditch the smoker smell. While vaping you may give off a light scent of the E Liquid you’re using, however, the smell is not harsh or bad like tobacco smoke and it doesn’t linger. When you switch to vaping you can ditch the smell and be sure that the non-smokers in your life will thank you.



E Liquid is available in Menthol
If you’ve been a menthol cigarette smoker and you’re struggling with the ban of menthol cigarettes across the UK, then you might be excited to find out that Menthol E Liquid is still available for vaping.

Rather than switching over to smoking traditional cigarettes, you can take a step toward much better health by switching to vaping with Menthol E Liquid. You can get the same flavor and feel of menthol, but without the harmful effects of tobacco.


There are many flavours of E Liquid
No matter what your taste is, there is likely an E Liquid flavour available that will satisfy you. One of the most enticing aspects of vaping is the wide range of flavors available. Whether you’re a menthol lover or you prefer something fruity, you can continue to try different favors until you find your favorite.

Unsure if there’s an E Liquid flavor out there for you? There are tobacco flavours for those who love traditional tobacco, there are milkshake flavors and there are tons of fruit flavors. We also have a post about Finding Your Perfect E Liquid Flavor if you need a bit of guidance.

Control of nicotine intake
A major benefit of vaping is that you have a lot of control over your nicotine intake. With traditional cigarettes, you smoke a cigarette possibly knowing how much nicotine is in it, but not being able to actually control the amount of nicotine.

However, when vaping you can control your nicotine intake because different E Liquids contain different amounts of nicotine. Since you’re able to personalize the amount of nicotine that you’re inhaling, you can choose to lower your nicotine intake if that’s something that you want to do.

If you want to quit smoking completely and get to the point where you don’t need or want any nicotine, you can slowly taper down the amount of nicotine that you vape until you’re vaping 0 nicotine E Liquids. It’s a gentle and satisfying way to quit smoking without any withdrawal symptoms.



Vaping is socially accepted
Because of its increasing popularity, and the fact that there is no smell to irritate the people around you, vaping has become socially acceptable in most places. Most people will not be bothered by you vaping near them because they won’t be inhaling tobacco smoke and any smell will generally be a pleasant smell depending on the E Liquid you have.

In addition, you won’t be subjecting the people around you to the health hazards of secondhand smoke. Vaping gives of far fewer chemicals so you’re not putting the people that you’re around at risk by vaping.

In the end, there are many benefits to vaping as stated above, especially when you compare vaping to smoking tobacco. Vaping is across the board a more acceptable method for nicotine intake when you consider health, social acceptance, and budget.

DVTCH X CHUCKIE E LIQUID REVIEW 2020

Jumponthevape is very pleased to bring you X Chuckie from the infamous

DVTCH Amsterdam

So why the name Chuckie? DVTCH Amsterdam aren’t the only superstars in Amsterdam there is also DJ Chuckie. If you haven’t heard of him, DJ Chuckie is a producer in the ‘Dirty House’ music scene, and has also helped develop a style of music called ‘Dirty Dutch’. He also owns his own record label called Dirty Dutch Music.

We have three new exciting flavours available for you, Aftershock, Moombah and Bass Kick, all of which is named after songs from DJ Chuckie.

All three of these flavours have their own unique design that truly represents their E Liquid brand and leaves you with the feeling that you shouldn’t even throw the box away. All three flavours come in a 60ml bottle so you have space for one nicotine shot to make it a 3mg. As a little extra you also get a DVTCH branded rubber wrist band.

Moombah E liquid

Just like the sweet song this is a sweet Juice. When you take your first hit with this you get this beautiful sweet sweet Kiwi that hits your taste buds, your tongue is then greeted by multiple blended fruits all at once, an invigorating blend of red berries, tones of cherries and blackcurrants.


What we liked the most about vaping Moombah was you got that tropical Kiwi not just on your first inhale but at the end too, it doesn’t fade away it is just briefly interrupted by the other fruits and then it returns. We also liked that although the mixture of fruits are blended nicely, you can actually taste each individual fruity flavour. It’s a thumbs up from us.

Bass Kick E Liquid


On the inhale you get a nice artificial but also sweet candy cherry flavour, just like the type of flavour you would get from a cherry pick & mix or a Haribo sweet, it is just like vaping a candy.
On the exhale you continue getting cherry but what’s oddly nice is it leaves your mouth feeling like you have just been eating some sweets.

We love the nostalgic feeling that we got from vaping Bass Kick, you really get a good kick of flavour in this. For a Cherry E Liquid based off a sweet, we are very impressed.

Aftershock E Liquid


Now we saved this to last because we love a good dessert. Strawberry cheesecake yum yum. Dessert E Liquids can go either very well or terribly wrong but we know that the others have tasted great so we had a lot of confidence with this one.

Wow, it has a delicious creamy cheesecake flavour with a biscuit crumble base and has a very sweet but freshly picked strawberry taste that is entwined with it and it is topped off with a layer of smooth coconut that gives it the perfect finish.

All of the flavours flow after each other, this could possibly be the best Strawberry cheesecake we’ve ever tried.

All of these flavours look and taste beautiful and have clearly been made with care and attention. We love the packaging and it’s great to see more fantastic brands from DVTCH Amsterdam.

Atomic E Liquid

Atomic E Liquid is another classic brand from Nicopure. Nicopure are the famous American E Liquid creators of brands like Halo, Mikes Wicked, Evo and Late Night Diner. Atomic E Liquids are produced in Florida USA and distributed globally. They understand that to establish trust they must deliver consistent, quality, and great-tasting American-made e-liquids.

If you've ever vaped any of the Halo E Liquids you will want to try the Atomic range. If you've never tried anything from Nicopure, let Atomic be your first.

Similar to their other brands these all come in 100ml bottles with 50mls of E Liquid in them so you can add your desired amount of Nicotine. All flavours are a 50/ 50 mix of VG and PG for that perfect balance of great flavour, nicotine hit and cloud production.

Today we're going to look into all 6 of the Atomic flavours to tell you a little more about them.

Atomic Tobacco Bliss E Liquid

We already knew that tobacco flavours such as Tribeca and Turkish from Halo was a hit with us so we were excited to give this one a go. If you’re a true Tobacco E Liquid connoisseur than this one is for you.

Tobacco Bliss is a luxury tobacco flavour with a subtle savoury twist. The tobacco is quite a mild and not overpowering but after exhaling you can taste the real sweetness and we found that there was also a pleasant vanilla note.

Atomic Vanilla Custard E Liquid

So we’ve not actually had a Vanilla E Liquid from Nicopure before so we didn’t have anything to compare it with but we have had other vanilla custard classics.

It’s not just what it says on the tin it’s so much more. This vanilla Custard is very close to the real thing. It’s incredibly creamy which we loved and the vanilla notes are rich really stuck out but in a good way.

Whilst vaping we this beauty we instantly thought crème anglaise and loved this dreamy Dessert flavour.

Atomic Lemon Freeze E Liquid

Before trying Lemon freeze we were expecting a very sweet citrus with an icy cold blast afterwards. Personally I wouldn’t quite say I got a freeze from it but there was a nice strong menthol effect from it.


Whilst vaping this lemon freeze it kind of reminded us of lemon lockets, the lemon in this juice is just like the centre of a locket, a sweet syrupy lemon and a cool menthol blast that opens up your air ways.

Though it wasn’t exactly what we were expecting we don’t have any complaints and found this Lemon Menthol E Liquid flavour very enjoyable.

Atomic Evermint Menthol E Liquid

With the Menthol ban on smoking that came into place on 20th May, this Menthol flavour could be a winner for anyone looking to quit smoking and take up vaping.

Regardless of whether you are new to vaping or a vaping enthusiast, this menthol juice will blow your socks off. This isn’t just any old Menthol E Liquid, this is a new take on a classic.

Before we go further we’ve all heard of it but what is menthol? Menthol is naturally found in mint plants such as peppermint and spearmint. It gives a cooling sensation and is often used to clear upper airway congestion, it also tastes great.

What we love about Evermint is the combination of menthol, peppermint & spearmint, the perfectly balanced menthol delight will stick in your mouth long after your exhale. It also has quite a sweet touch to it but overall this gives you cool soothing chill.

Atomic Mango Mint E Liquid

What’s better than a nice fruity flavoured juice? A nice fruity juice with a touch of mint to give that lovely cooling feeling.

Atomic hasn’t tried to create a brand new type of flavoured E Liquid for vaping, they’ve just created their own unique fruit menthol E Liquid. Mint has been used before to enhance fruity flavours and we can’t deny that we all love it.

Atomic Mango Mint is a deliciously fruity and tastes just like fresh ripe Mango's, It has a cool menthol undertone that lingers on your tongue. It’s a great choice for a long summer day, sit back in your deck chair and relax with this tropical joy.

Atomic Cherry Berry Bubblegum E Liquid

Remember being a kid and having a cherry berry gum ball? If you want to taste that nostalgic feeling this is for you.


You may think you’ve had the best cherry berry bubblegum before but I’m sorry Atomic is here to burst your bubble. Most versions of this classic give that synthetic fruity flavour but this is so so different.

Atomic has decided to go with real fruit flavour to bring back that childhood feeling. Ripe tangy cherries have been carefully mixed with sweet berries and finally combined with your typical candy bubblegum. Don’t take our word for it give it a go.


So on summary it is another thumbs up to Nicopure for bringing us another great range of flavours. Take advantage of our launch price for this brand and grab yourself a bargain E Liquid.

We still have plenty of other E Liquids in our bargains collection so feel free to have a look here.

Thanks for taking the time to see what we had to say about Atomic,you can also have a look at the other brands from Nicopure by clicking below.

Your Guide to the Best E-Liquid at JumpontheVape
If you’re anything like me, you love searching for a new online vape shop to find the best UK vape deals so you can try new flavours. Of course, we all have our tried-and-true brands and flavours of E-liquid, but there’s nothing like trying something new.


E-Liquid for Fruity Flavour Fans
We’ll start with my favourite flavours since they’re usually the most popular and they’re the flavours I want to talk about most. JumpontheVape divides their fruity flavours into three categories: Fruity, Citrus, and Berry. Obviously, with almost 150 products in this section alone, I can’t cover them all, but here are my favourites I absolutely think you should try if you haven’t already.

(They also include ‘flavour notes” in their descriptions, which is super helpful, especially if you’re new to vaping and aren’t sure what to expect from these kinds of flavours just yet.)


My Favourite Fruit E-Liquid Flavours
DVTH Chloe has notes of cantaloupe, blueberry, and honey. This is typically sweet but isn’t overpowering.

Big Mouth Lemon Lush Pie tastes like it sounds – literally like a lemon cream dessert!

YeTi Apple Cranberry has a lovely sweet-sour flavour with the combination of green apple and cranberry, so is a good choice for those who don’t always love super sweet flavours.



My Favourite Citrus E-Liquid Flavours
Citrus also has a choice of 64 products, so if you’re a big fan of citrus flavours, I recommend taking your time to look through them all. For me, however, I’ve got 4 favourites I’d recommend:

Pachamama Passion Fruit Raspberry Yuzu is actually sold out at the time of writing, but if it’s in stock when you read this, definitely grab it. This has a lovely zesty flavour but with the sweetness of raspberry – it’s one of my favourites!

Drifter Tutti Frutti Sourz on Ice is great for those of you who like something that’s a bit like eating Sour Patch Kids! This is a must if you love sour gummy sweets.

12 Monkeys O-RangZ – stick with me here, I know it says cereal flavoured, but what it’s really talking about is that sweet Fruity Pebbles flavour you’ll know if you’ve had American cereal. It’s not a healthy breakfast, but vaping this is certainly less calories than eating a bowl of Lucky Charms!



My Favourite Berry E-Liquid Products
Berry also has over 70 products typically, so again, you’re not short on choice. I love berry flavours, so here are the ones I recommend you try:

Big Mouth Unseen Strawberry Lime is so good and I love the mix of strawberry and lime flavours in this.

Candy King Swedish is reminiscent of the sweet/candy Swedish Fish. You don’t find them that often in this country, but you can get a taste of them with this vaping liquid. This is such a great flavour so I recommend you grab this now.

Pachamama Huckleberry Pear Acai isn’t one I hear many people talk about, but after trying a few of the other Pachamama flavours, I grabbed this one and LOVED it. I really like flavours that are sweet but with something sour to contrast it, and this one reminds me of a pair drop mixed with something tangy. It’s definitely worth a try!



E-Liquid for Coffee Lovers
Okay, so I’m not a huge coffee fan, but I know a lot of you are and if you love all things coffee flavoured, you have to try a coffee E-liquid. And, I’ll be honest, a lot of them will be popular even with those who aren’t reaching for a cup of joe in the morning. Here are the flavours I can personally recommend:

Barista Brew White Chocolate Mocha – this one I actually tried after a friend had it (back before coronavirus) and when I saw it on JumpontheVape, I decided to grab it again. I love white chocolate, so I guess it’s no surprise that I loved this, but the mocha flavours are pretty yummy too!

Other flavours I recommend from Barista Brew are Smores Mocha Breeze and Salted Caramel. I have to say the Salted Caramel is pretty special.

Tobacco Bastards No. 29 Coffee is also delicious, as is VAPR Tiramisu Tobacco.

E-Liquids for the Sweet Tooth
I don’t know about your friends, but 9/10 when I see them, they’re vaping a ridiculously sweet E-liquid. As I’ve already said, I like something with a little contrast, but I can’t deny that some of these have become my favourites.

Late Night Diner Banana Foster Pie – how can you go wrong with Banana, Pastry and Dessert flavour notes? You can’t!

Big Mouth Bubble Waffle – this literally tastes like an ice cream waffle sandwich. You need this.

KonceptXIX Poley Rolly tastes like a Victoria sponge cake served with ice cream. I love this one.

Candy King Sour Worms E-Liquid - I’m a big fan of Candy King products and their Sour Worms ticks a lot of boxes since it perfectly balances the sweet and sour flavours I love.


E-Liquid Flavours for Those Who Miss Cigarettes
If you switched from cigarettes to vaping, or if you’re making the transition, there are a few flavours I recommend (though there’s a much bigger choice on JumpontheVape):

Tobacco Bastards No.33 Light

Atomic Tobacco Bliss (you get a lot for your money with this one too)

Halo’s Turkish Tobacco


Other Must-Try & Notable E-Liquid Flavours on the JumpontheVape Online Vape Store
Charlie Noble Shellback Slush E-Liquid - If you love cool flavours but don’t want just menthol, you have to give this offering from Charlie Noble a try. Cool with a tropical slant as those exotic fruit flavours come through. For super cold I turn to Sub Zero E-Liquid from Halo, it’s seriously refreshing.

Big Mouth Unseen Strawberry Lime E-Liquid I love strawberry, but sometimes find it a bit sweet and sugary in vaping liquids. However, this is another one where the lime really balances out the flavours for me.

Vampire Vape Highland Soda has an awesome name, and an even better name. It’s a bit like drinking Fanta, but with a bit of a twist (pun not intended). It’s delicious and definitely worth a try.

Big Mouth Donut Cone Ice Cream Yes, this tastes as good as it sounds. Trust me.

There you have it! You’ve got more than enough recommendations for E-liquid to keep you trying new flavours for the rest of the year! Again, JumpontheVape offers free delivery when you spend over £30 (which isn’t exactly hard), and great customer service, so I can highly recommend it!

IS VAPING SAFE ?
We are back again to talk about whether vaping is safer than smoking, and to discuss some of the rumours & myths that are going around about vaping and the use of e-cigarettes. Recently there has been another article on social media platforms, a very unfortunate story about a 16 year old who has been vaping for 6 months and the doctors have said he has the lungs of an 80 year old. This young teenager has been diagnosed with having Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis.


Now, this would come to a shock to many people who are considering quitting smoking and possibly start vaping as an alternative or for a means to quitting smoking. A headline like this would persuade you from doing so but just like many other articles or cases, not all the details seem to be available. What we did find out is he was an ex-smoker but no mention of how long he had been smoking. An article does say that he had two different E Liquids but only one was reacting

Blood test analyses showed that his condition may have been caused by one, as opposed to both, of the e-cigarette liquid flavours as Fisher had IgM specific antibodies for liquid 1, but not liquid 2, raising the possibility that the eliciting antigen was present in liquid 1, noted the authors. After 14 months, Fisher’s symptoms cleared up, and the condition of his lungs returned to normal based on his spirometry.

What it doesn’t advise is what these e liquids contained? Were these branded products made by a registered manufacturer? Or were these e liquids that were affecting him made in someone's garage? What ingredients were used in creating these e liquids? These are very important questions that should have been asked, so the question for us is why isn’t this information provided? Surely if it was just one of the e liquids that was causing this then an investigation should have been carried out, the manufacturer of that e liquid should have recalled all products but there is no mention of this. Not that we are sat here in our tinfoil hats but something doesn’t seem to add up here...

There is many stories similar to this and it seems more likely that people have been purchasing and using homemade e liquids which could be using any type of ingredients that are not regulated. You may also recall the sudden media coverage of vaping ‘’related’’ illnesses in the USA, this was then debunked when investigators found out that people were vaping liquids that contained THC, resulting in some deaths. These illegal liquids were often sold off the street or from unknown sources. This is why we feel we need to address some of the most frequently asked questions and tackle some of the rumours that are floating around.



How safe is vaping really?
First of all, we want to provide you with a statement from Public Health England as people still ask is vaping safe?

Public Health England found that vaping is 95 percent less harmful than smoking. The study also found that 44 percent of smokers wrongly believed vaping to be just as harmful. You can view the article here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/e-cigarettes-around-95-less-harmful-than-tobacco-estimates-landmark-review



But E Liquids aren’t regulated
One of the most commonly used arguments against vaping is that you have no idea what’s in the E Liquids. Well, we can tell you that E Liquids do not contain Hydrogen cyanide, lead, arsenic, ammonia, Nitrosamines, or radioactive traces such as Uranium which is found in the fertilizer of tobacco plants.

Since the vaping market has grown in the UK there have been many changes to how E Liquids can be made and what ingredients can be used. The UK is one of the strictest countries in the world when it comes to regulation for E Liquids. In 2016 the Tobacco Product Directive (TPD) came into place and changed the vaping world. Though many E Liquid shops, online vape shop, and manufacturers faced a big problem with existing stock we believe there was good cause for this. E Liquids are subject to quality and safety standards whereas before they weren’t. Products also need proper informative packaging advising of products containing nicotine. All E Liquid products must be notified to the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) by the manufacturer with detailed information including all the ingredients. Once these are tested and forms completed there will be a certificate confirming this.



Second hand vaping is just as bad as second hand smoking?
We have all been aware of the impact of second-hand smoking and how the health risks this has so it is a fair assumption to believe that second-hand vapour would also affect someone but Public Health England (PHE) says otherwise. In 2018 PHE found there were no identified health risks when it comes to passive vaping. Though people with health conditions such as asthma or any other respiratory condition are likely to be more sensitive to this. The ingredients that go into E Liquids are Nicotine, propylene glycol, VG glycerine, and flavourings, these are very different to cigarettes and there is no side-stream vapour emitted by an e-cigarette into the atmosphere.

It is illegal to smoke in enclosed public places and workplaces but when it comes to vaping it is down to the employer or organization to decide on their policy and to consider the staff at all times. What we always ask for is for vapers to be considerate of others.



NICOTINE MUST BE HARMFUL?
We think here is where a lot of the confusion comes from, most people believe it is the nicotine in cigarettes which is the most harmful, and unfortunately this is not true. Studies show that four out of ten non-smokers and smokers believe that nicotine is the cause of tobacco smoking-related cancer. Yes, Nicotine is addictive but evidence shows that nicotine carries minimal risk to your health, it is all the other chemicals in a cigarette which causes the severe health problems and can lead to cancer. Carbon monoxide and tar are the most harmful aspects when it comes to smoking, and vaping E Liquids do not contain these substances.

All regulated E Liquids will be clearly signposted as to whether they have nicotine. TPD laws state that nicotine can only be present in bottles of 10ml and under. Any E Liquids you find in larger bottles are referred to as ‘shortfills’ and will come with 0mg of nicotine, though there is normally space for you to add nicotine if you wish to do so.



POPCORN LUNG?
In 2016, prior to the TPD laws coming in there was a study around whether vaping causes popcorn lung. Before we go further into the study, let’s explain exactly what popcorn lung is as many people have heard of it but might not be able to explain it properly.

Popcorn lung is a type of lung disease (not cancer) and is called Bronchiolitis Obliterans, the name popcorn lung was given to it as it was initially found within workers in a popcorn factory. The chemical that can cause popcorn lung is called Diacetyl, which was used as a flavouring for packaged microwave popcorn.

One study which was carried out in the US and published in 2016 looked at whether E Liquids contained Diacetyl, out of 51 different E Liquids, 39 came back testing positive for some level of Diacetyl, this is where the idea that you can get popcorn lung from vaping E Liquids. The problem with the study is that there was no investigation and no evidence to see whether vaping E Liquids can cause popcorn lung. We wouldn’t exactly call this a study, it’s more of just an assumption which is one of the most widely used excuses that people use when saying that vaping is bad for you.

Despite the fact that there’s been no evidence to suggest popcorn lung is caused by vaping, in 2016 the use of Diacetyl was banned in the creation of E Liquids under the Tobacco Products Directive. I’m sure this did cause some minor problems but as our parents always told us, it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you are interested in looking into this further at cancer research UK.

We hope that you find this article helpful and we wish that we’ve helped clear up some concerns when it comes to vaping. We have previously written an article about Vaping vs smoking so feel free to have a read of that also.

Every week we get told about people's success stories and how they have managed to quit smoking and in our eyes, that’s a win. Out of the 3 million vapers in the UK, more than half have completely stopped smoking. The NHS also advises that a further 770,000 people have given up both vaping and smoking, smoking rates have also dropped to an incredibly low of 14.9%. We really hope this continues and that we can help the UK go smoke free. The battle still continues though as currently there are still over 7 million smokers. If you are looking for more information about how smoking cigarettes can harm you we strongly recommend looking on the NHS website.

Vapor does contain nitrosamines, though, but the amount of nitrosamines is about 400 times lower when compared to tobacco smoke.
