Juice can be:
1) Propylene Glycol (present in toothpaste, barbecue sauce etc.), common additive. FDA GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe for human consumption). A very, very small percentage of people have a sensitivity to this ingredient.
2) Vegetable Glycerin. Pharmaceutical Grade.
3) Some combination of the above.
In the juice is a level of nicotine, also inspected. And favoring is added. Any flavor is possible. Waffle is a favorite of many.
The only toxic component is the nicotine. If someone mixes their own juice using nicotine concentrate, special care must be used. As the bases are available premixed with nicotine, few people deal with the concentrate.
Juice should be kept out of reach of children and pets.
Since a large amount of juice is manufactured in China, there might be some apprehension as to contamination, unknown additives etc. The simplest answer is that all above-mentioned ingredients are so inexpensive and easily available that any contaminant would be more expensive. All the major juice factories are "clean" labs and are inspected.
The containment of the liquid (MAP tank) in my picture is made of LEXAN. You can run over it by a truck, over and over, without damage. Dropping it doesn't even scratch it.
The e-cigar was a flop. The battery did not last, the atomizer died and the juice leaked. It was abandoned as an idea.
The mods I have require little training. They are actually easier and more foolproof than the ones that look like cigarettes. There are only a couple of mods worldwide that are rated expert.
Everybody got into the gadget part. Those who have shop experience and smoked cigs found the early e-cigs wanting. People called modders on their forums discussed (open source) improvements. A great deal of effort has been expended in this effort, more than any one company could pay for. There have been failures. What seems to work in small production sometimes fails in mass production.
Some mod patents have been applied for. One of these might become the Ford.
If you are happy with what you have - great. E-cigs have been proven by orders of magnitude better than smoking. Outside of PG sensitivity, no ill effects have been seen. Considering the large number of users and the prevalence of forums the e-cig bad reports are few and far between.
If you or anybody wants a recommendation PM me.
