To drink or to vape? Or what else to use for e-cig filling

To drink or to vape? Or what else to use for e-cig filling

When beginning vapers have already learnt the ropes of vaping and can tell about the difference between a box mod and mechanical mod, or show how to fill electronic cigarette with e-liquid, they want to experiment. Thus, curiosity leads to the question: what else can be used to fill an e-cig besides e-liquid? Today we will try to find out the answer and tell which options one can use to fill electronic cigarettes and which ones should not.

Filling with common water

Water is the world ground, but could it be the e-cig ground? It is just about the first that can pop up in mind instead of e-juice. You can fill the electronic cigarette with water but will hardly manage to vape. Firstly, water is too fluid. It spreads over the coil and the wick soaks poorly. Secondly, you won’t get dense vapor but rather vapor similar to those appearing while breathing in freezing temperatures. Such vaping doesn’t require device – winter is quite enough.

Conclusion: do not fill the e-cig with water. It makes no sense in terms of both taste and density. Besides, water corrodes the coil.

Filling with pharmaceutical glycerin

You can fill the electronic cigarette with one of e-liquid components – glycerin. Pharmaceutical glycerin is always diluted with water, thus while purchasing, you should pay attention to proportions: the less water the better. What will we get after filling? Lots of vapor. Too much vapor, as it is pure glycerin. But you will taste nothing – it is absolutely flavorless substance.

Conclusion: you can fill the device with glycerin, but it is almost meaningless. Vapers use this component as an e-juice placebo, if liquid suddenly runs out.

Filling with sweet fizzy drink

The option for the most curious ones. Any sugar water will be good enough for the experiment (for example, Coca-Cola). Note: it should be mixed with the e-juice key element in order to avoid the previous experiment situation: too fluid water. And if you mix approximately 1:1 with the key element, you will receive liquid suitable for filling. But until you do it, we will tell the following: vapor will be sugared a bit and drink flavor is not recognized. Even if using Fanta, you won’t feel the orange either on the inhale or exhale.

Conclusion: you can fill the device with fizzy drink only if you feel bored. No bones will be broken, but you won’t enjoy the vaping process as well.

Generally, the answer to the question whether one can fill the e-cig with something else is positive. But practically, you will become certain that it is better to vape e-juices and to drink coca cola. But do not mix it up. Take good care and vape with pleasure!
