Electronic cigarettes are still a novelty, the concept of using liquid nicotine instead of real tobacco captures a lot of attention from all the age groups. This in fact is a special solution of liquid nicotine which can be easily vaporized by a small heating element.
The e-liquid or liquid nicotine contains anything from 2.4 to zero percent nicotine, which eliminates the chances of accidental spills, swallowing of the liquid itself. The cartridges usually contain sixteen to twenty four milligrams of nicotine which is way lesser then the normal nicotine levels in a traditional cigarette of whopping forty to sixty milligrams. The two common bases for the liquid nicotine delivery usually used in the e-cigarettes are basically, propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine.
