1. What is E-Liquid?

Just as the name E-Liquid sounds, it is simply the liquid that pumps flavour and converts to vapour in an E-cigar. E-Liquid, which can also be called E-juice, or Vape juice, is usually a blend of various levels of ingredient that leaves you with varieties of the taste of your choice.

1.1 Introduction

One of the best ways of achieving a very awesome vaping is knowing how to perfectly refill your E-Cigarette with E-liquid. E-cigarette, also known as Vaping devices, are electronic devices that imitate tobacco smoking. Since what brings about a good flavour and vapour in E-cigarette is the quality of E-liquid that you use with it, it is very important that you know everything about E-liquids and how to use them. In this article, we shall take you through every important thing you need to know about E-liquid and how you can fill your E-cigarette with E-liquid to achieve the best vaping.

1.2 How is E-Liquid Made?

You might have tried checking out what the ingredients of E-liquid are before and also had the feeling of mixing it yourself, we strongly recommend that you do not attempt doing so on your own! This is because, even though the ingredients appear very simple, knowing the right amount of which ingredient to put at what particular time is very important too.

The components of E-liquid are usually Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerin, Water, Flavour, and Nicotine.

The Propylene Glycol (PG) is a substance that carries flavour well and E-liquids have at least 50% of PG. The Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is most times extracted from a palm tree and it helps to make a lot of heavy vapours while vaping. Most E-liquids also have at least 50% of VG.

The flavours that are added to E-liquids are vaporizable extracts from trees and are available in various mix and taste.

The addition of Nicotine in E-liquid requires that the perfect quantity of nicotine is added because nicotine happens to be an addictive substance. It is however not all E-liquid that have nicotine included in them and so you should go for your choice of E-liquid based on how best you can handle the intake of Nicotine.

These ingredients are mixed in an orderly manner and the mixture is then left to age for some days in a process that is informally known as “steeping”.

1.3 Types of E-Liquid

There are varieties of E-liquid available in the market today, the most popular ones are PG E-liquid, VG E-liquid, Salt Nicotine E-liquid, and the Hemp Oil Vape Liquid. The type of E-liquid to choose depends on your style of vaping, so it is essential to know that exact one that best suits you.

1.4 Nicotine in E-Liquid

We must discuss this aspect of E-liquid components, this is because, just as we have noted earlier, nicotine is an addictive substance and even though it is not linked with most common diseases associated with cigarette smoking, it is a known stimulant that should not be taken by pregnant women and children.

One other commonly reported side effect of nicotine in E-liquids is the harshness it produces. However, in recent time, the use of nicotine salt had been introduced to replace it. Nicotine salt is extracted from the salt in the stem, unlike Nicotine which is directly extracted from tobacco leaves. Nicotine salt affords you the chance to experience a higher nicotine content with a highly reduced level of harshness.

Various amounts of nicotine are added to various E-liquids depending on the type of vape so you should go for the E-liquid that has just the right quantity of nicotine for you!

3. How to Refill your Cigarette with E-liquid

You must know how to fill your cigarette with E-liquid; because there are different types of cigarettes, there are also different methods of refilling it. This would bring us to the discussion of the types of cigarettes that are commonly available, which are the Closed Pod System and the Open Pod System.

In the closed pod system, tanks containing the e-liquid are used attached to the e-cig. These tanks are also called cartridges at times. An Example of a closed pod system is the Upends Upcott:

In an open pod system, on the other hand, the e-cig presents with a part where the e-liquid is stored- known as the clear-omizer, and can be topped occasionally as it finishes. An example of an open pod system is the Upends Uppen:

Let us now check out how to refill each type of Cigarette.

3.1 How to Refill a Closed Pod System

Just as we noted initially, the closed Pod system has a tank that is attached to the cigar and that is cannot be refilled manually. All you have to do once you start noticing that the liquid is almost gone, either from a reduced flavour or weak vapour, is to unscrew the tank from the e-cigar, disposeof it, and then replace it with a new tank, making sure that the new tank is firmly screwed to the e-cigar.

Refilling Closed Pod System does not usually come with many technicalities, just unscrew the old tank, dispose of it, and then attach the new tank to the e-cigar!

3.2 How to Refill an Open Pod System

As we said, the open pod system comes with a clear-omizer that is manually topped each time the e-liquids finishes. Some Open Pod system cigar even comes with a clear window at the sides of the devices that allows you the chance to monitor the level of the e-liquid at every point in time.

One very important thing to note while refilling an open pod system is that you have to be careful so as not to allow the e-liquid to enter the mouthpiece. When that happens, it is known as flooding and one of the major problems you would have with that is that will lead to a really bad taste while vaping.

We would also like to recommend that you try to replace the clear-omizer (where the e-liquid is stored) after every 10 refills to enjoy the best vaping experience.

Follow the following steps while refilling your open pod system:

The first thing to do is to unscrew the mouthpiece and the battery from the clear-ominizer. After then, avoiding the center tubing, place the nozzle in the inside wall. Then start squeezing the nozzle to fill the clear-ominizer and while doing this, gauge the level through the clear window so as not to fill pass the top of the window. After you have done this, screw the mouthpiece and battery back in the clear-ominizer, and finally, take some short drags to prepare the e-cigarette for the best vapour production.

4. Conclusion

The best thing you can do to have a great vaping experience is to ensure that you choose the most awesome e-liquid and alongside the most correct refill operation. This is because choosing the wrong e-liquid and refilling your e-cigar wrongly can leave you with the worst vaping experience ever, and that is why we have written this amazing article to guide you to the best choices!
