We haven’t seen this topic gain the importance that it actually needs because we think that it definitely is serious enough to talk about it. We all know vaping has been around for a very long time, vaping goes hand in hand with E liquids actually, vaping is nothing without E-liquids.
Why do we need to handle E-liquids safely?
They’re affected by light, heat, and air.
Heat: affects the specific compounds that are responsible for the flavor of your e-liquid, so if any of them change, it will alter the taste of your vape fluid.
Light and Air: affect because air allows oxygen to react with nicotine to produce cotinine (this “oxidation” process involves the loss of two hydrogen atoms and the gain of one oxygen atom). Light affects because UV light provides energy for this process which will cause less nicotine in your e-juice.
Harmful for children: because children are little curious being and keeping e-liquids in their reach can cause serious harm if they swallow some of it.
The feeling of dried up and flavorless e-juice has been described in this sentence so perfectly. “I can’t find the words to express my disappointment, when – several months later – the “rainy day” came, I eagerly filled my vape tanks with the juice and took a vape. The flavor had died. I was left with a peppery, bland mess that barely even contained the ghost of the flavor I’d loved so much.” - Lee Johnson (a fellow author).
What We Need To Do To Prevent All These Situations From Happening
You should always store e-liquids in their original containers, so people around know exactly what they are.
If you are a parent, you should keep them somewhere you know your kids can’t go or some place they can’t reach.
Keep all e-liquids tightly capped and preferably use child-proof caps if you have younger children.
If your kids are old enough to understand, it is better to thoroughly talk about this topic and make them understand the do’s and don’ts.
If you are refilling your e-cigarette manually, you should be even more careful. Nicotine can be absorbed through the skin so, just clean up any spills immediately and wash any exposed body part or cloth as quickly as possible with soap and water.
Last but not least if you have to dispose an e-liquid, don’t just spill it anywhere. Take a sealable bag of absorbent cat litter, pour the fluid in it and then throw it in the trash can. This will prevent nicotine from soaking in-ground or run in the drains. It also will prevent stray cats and dogs from getting sick from the liquid.
Vaping is fun, we don’t deny this fact but along with that fun, it comes with some responsibility. We should take care of people, animals, and the environment and prove vaping to be safe.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
