What e-liquid flavors you should avoid

What e-liquid flavors you should avoid

There are quite literally hundreds of flavors of e-liquid flavors. It’s understandable where the appeal for vaping comes from in regards to choosing one method to quit smoking. Those flavors not only smell delicious and strong but taste that way as well. However, there is a lot of evidence proving that the chemical ingredient in most e-liquids called diacetyl is very harmful to people to inhale into their lungs. 

That chemical is associated with people getting ‘popcorn lungs’, scientifically named obliterative bronchiolitis, which is an irreversible and life threatening lung disease that causes scarring of the small air sacs in the lungs which prompt the thickening and constricting of the airways. Not every e-liquid flavor has this chemical as an ingredient, but make sure to always double-check.

What is Diacetyl?

Diacetyl is a chemical used in e-liquid flavors to create a buttery taste, most commonly used in flavoring microwaved popcorn. It is incredibly dangerous when inhaled, especially frequently. A few symptoms of obliterative bronchiolitis that people who vape frequently should keep in mind are coughing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. These symptoms are very common for anyone who smokes, which has its own reasons. But when it comes to vaping the concern is the obliterative bronchiolitis.

The E-liquid flavors you should avoid

As mentioned before, not every e-liquid flavor contains this life threatening chemical, but it is way better to be safe than sorry. Always make sure to buy your e-liquids at trusted wholesalers such as on the website of Mr Joy, but never forget to check the ingredients list of your e-liquids regardless of where you get them. These are a few of the flavors you should avoid.
