July, 2015 - E-Juice News From Royal Vape Juice

So hello RVJ Vapers!

We are geared up for a big month here at Royal Vape Juice with new flavors and new specials on e-liquid.

New Flavors

We will be finishing our product listings on the brand new website, so that means old favorite like Graham County Fudge, Butter Pecan, Juice Java, and Chill Cheesecake will now be available online.  While that's handy, we don't think it really gives our launch the love that it needs.  That's why the following flavors are being released just in time to celebrate 4th of July the right way:

RVJ Cool Custard E-Juice

RVJ Fireworks E-Juice

RVJ Fun Frosting E-Juice

RVJ Nutty Buddy E-Juice

RVJ Sweet Pancake E-Juice

Discounts

Our discount for July is for 5% off any order over $25.  This discount will be in effect from July 1st until July 31st.  As always users can use coupon code TRYME for one sample pack (either fruit or dessert) for $1 and shipping and handling.  Simply put the pack you want into the cart and enter the code in the checkout.  

Keep vaping and have a happy 4th of July!

Understanding Concerns About E-juice Manufactured In China

When looking for a new brand of e-juice a lot of vapers will run across the controversy over e-liquid manufactured in China or from ingredients in China.  While plenty of people have plenty to say, it is increasingly difficult to sort out speculation from fact.  Here at Royal Vape Juice we only use USP grade VG, flavorings, and PG.  Our nicotine is 99.9% pure pharmaceutical grade.  Have you ever wondered why so many brands go to such effort to make similar statements about their quality?  Or have you ever wondered exactly there is so much skepticism about e-juice from China (besides the nearly non-existent production regulations which the U.S. also mostly doesn't have)?  

First, why does anyone prefer Chinese E-Liquid?

E-juice and e-cigs from China have a major advantage: Price.  Manufacturers there have access to significantly less expensive food grade ingredients and other materials, never mind how cheap the cruddy stuff is.  Cheap materials, cheap labor, cheap facilities, and cheap shipping mean that they can charge consumers way less than U.S. brands.  This also means that vape shops and online stores nation wide can buy bulk and double their money and still charge less than sources that only sell juices or e-cigs that are made in the U.S.  

I'm not sure that any vaper reading this honestly doesn't want to save a buck, so that's exactly why those juices are SOOOOO tempting!

So are Chinese e-liquids really bad or not?  

The biggest factor that really confuses this issue is that all Chinese brands are NOT bad.  They regulate themselves and use quality ingredients.  Self-regulation can be a beautiful thing, but it isn't enough.  There has always been a large regulatory gap in Chinese and American manufacturing.  In fact, the NY Times did a great article and video that really illustrates the problem here .  Some main points:

• No regulations exist to prevent dangerous manufacturing practices in China.
• While some manufacturers regulate themselves others may purchase in bulk and then mix knockoffs from shady companies into the shipment to increase profit.
• While some companies may regulate themselves, if the materials they purchased to make their e-liquid was contaminated their e-juice will also be contaminated.
• They actually have found dangerous chemicals like those found in anti-freeze and up to 4 times as many carcinogens than are found in traditional cigarettes in e-juice and e-cigs made in China.

So what does it mean?

It means that while quality varies even in the U.S. and the long-term health risks of vaping have yet to be really established, if your juice is from China you run a higher risk of negative health effects.  The pricing may be tempting, but here at RVJ we recommend using only e-juice that is made in the United States, even if you don't pick ours.

Quick Intro To Juice Ingredients For Beginners.....

Everyone starts out as a beginner and it can definitely get overwhelming when you are first finding your favorite juices.  Some people go into a shop, take the recommended mod or pen, and pick a bottle of juice based on if it sounds like it should taste good.  Sometimes that works great and they become vapers for life, but when it doesn't work out it can be discouraging.  What happens when one vanilla flavor was great, but the one you picked tastes... Not so good?  What if your friend is over there chucking clouds but you barely get enough for one smoke ring?  Worse yet, what if you try to ask what happened and don't understand the explanation?

As your handy dandy vape dude I can help with that.  Here we are going to take a few minutes to talk about how juice ingredients will taste, feel, or produce different amounts of vapor.  If you are a beginner we here at RVJ hope this gets you where you want to be e-juice wise.  If you are more experienced we hope you will share some of your own vaping tips in the comments below.

VG/PG

VG stand for vegetable glycerin and PG stands for propylene glycol.  Both of these are common food sweeteners.  The ratio of VG to PG should be listed on the bottle of juice and will look something like 70/30 or 50/50.  VG produces more vapor and may be sweeter while PG tends to have more throat hit and is thinner.  Max VG flavors are often too thick to wick properly in smaller tanks like the EGO starter kit tanks, so if you try them beware of dry hits.  A dry hit happens because you vaped the juice faster than your tank was soaking it up or simply because you ran out....  Tastes and feels bad, beware!

Nicotine Levels

You will notice that your bottle should be clearly marked with a certain nicotine level such as 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, or 12mg.  Some may go up to 24mg, but past that may be dangerous.  This is not how much nicotine is in the entire bottle.  Rather, this is how much nicotine is present for ever ml of juice.  Higher nicotine levels may have more of a throat hit like a cigarette and they may have a huge impact on flavor.  A juice may taste entirely different at 3mg nicotine than it does at 6mg or even 12mg.  Here at RVJ we only use Nude Nicotine because they receive amazing reviews from users and so far none of us have detected any sort of unpleasant flavor.  Because we only use high quality nicotine we recommend users choose a higher level of PG for more throat hit rather than a higher level of nicotine.

Your Tank or RDA

When you pick your e-cig or mod you may be surprised to know that which one you choose will have a great impact on your flavor and vapor production.  Your hardware limits how much air will be pulled past the wick as well as how much juice will be on the coils to vape, so some hardware will naturally produce a stronger flavor than others just like some will produce more vapor.  Before you buy any hardware we recommend looking at user reviews or actually trying one out at your local shop.  Here at RVJ we are happy to talk hardware to make sure you get the products that are right for you.  We do not carry e-cigs or mods, but we can help you find what you are looking for elsewhere.  

Thanks for your support and please feel free to tell us what you think in the comments section.  Until next time,
