They contain Propylene glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG)in small amounts. I found the same when i used them so researched it. I stayed with them tho.. reckoned smoking was the real risk. I don't smoke now
Propylene glycol is an organic compound which has ubiquitous applications in everything from food manufacturing to lubrication of industrial equipment. Oral toxicity for both acute and long-term exposure is very low. In humans, PG is metabolized into lactic, pyruvic (a ketone), and acetic (vinegar) acids, all three of which are already naturally found in the human body. The only complication I could see from this would be if you take metformin. Although rare, metformin has been known to potentiate lactic acidosis, a potentially life-threatening condition caused by a build-up of lactic acid. However, it’s doubtful that the amount of lactic acid the PG in your pseudo-cigarette would cause you to metabolize would be sufficient to induce lactic acidosis. The bottom line: propylene glycol is generally recognized as safe and should have a neutral effect on blood sugar concentration.
Vegetable glycerin, more commonly referred to as glycerol, is a polyol alcohol compound. Glycerol is a common food additive which works as a preservative, a sweetener, and thickening agent. Humans metabolize glycerol into a form of triglycerides, phospholipids, and possibly glucose. Since glycerol is an alcohol, it does metabolize like a carbohydrate, although it has a lower glycemic index than sucrose. Thus, it is likely to cause a small increase in your blood sugar, though the amount contained in your pseudo-cigarette is unlikely to make that increase significant (or perhaps even detectible). The bottom line: vegetable glycerin is generally recognized as safe and might produce a modest temporary elevation of blood sugar.
The bottom-bottom line: whatever risks might be involved with the intake of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are clearly much smaller than the known risks of cigarette smoking. I applaud you in your decision and action to discontinue smoking. Nicotine is perhaps the most addictive drug to exist, so I highly respect your efforts.
Thank you I read it and got a tad confused so it should be okay? Yes?Here's a post made by another user a while ago on ecigs/eshisha
Essentially, it *could* have an effect so it's best to just keep an eye out for any noticeable changesThank you I read it and got a tad confused so it should be okay? Yes?
I'm not interested in taking up smoking it or anything at that matter just curious as to what it tastes like as I have seen alot of people with it! And as for the don't really smoke, I have smoked a couple of times when drinking but no way am I addicted aha!Essentially, it *could* have an effect so it's best to just keep an eye out for any noticeable changes
From what I know, there's been little to no research on the effects of PG/VG ejuice mixes on blood glucose levels. Just out of interest, you say you don't really smoke - why is it that you're interested in taking up smoking eshisha? Not judging or anything, don't worry. Just curious!
Oh I see haha! I don't want to smoke I just have alot going on and well it's the only thing that does destress me I have only ever had about 5 fags in my life and I heard of the eShisha haha! xI quit with shisha 8 months ago. Saved all the pennies and bought a horse (lifetime ambition fullfilled) Starting losing weight (dont want to give him a sway back) and then got hit with DX :/
I have parma violet flavour, cinnamon and numerous other delicious ones, as well as the traditional fag flavour. Can 'smoke' them in the pub too
I think if you're trying it just out of curiosity, maybe look at ordering some of the 0mg nicotine flavours online. You still get the taste and the feel of smoking the usual eshisha but don't have to deal with nasty cravings. Sounds like it might be the best option! Most of the flavours I smoke are 0mg nicotine and I find that they taste far nicer than the ones with any nicotine inI'm not interested in taking up smoking it or anything at that matter just curious as to what it tastes like as I have seen alot of people with it!

I just get VERY stressed
I didn't want the ones with nicotine in anyway aha!I think if you're trying it just out of curiosity, maybe look at ordering some of the 0mg nicotine flavours online.

They sound nice aha! Do they like make you feel de-stressed or whatever?http://enjuice.com/shop/e-liquid/nonic-eliquids/c-23/c-85 is where I got my last batch. Ordered 10ml of banana milkshake, caribbean tropicana, peach melba, menthol ice and vanilla dream, all 0mg nicotine
Somewhat, yeah. I firmly believe that most of my addiction to smoking is psychological. I'm happy if I can do something that at least feels like smoking.They sound nice aha! Do they like make you feel de-stressed or whatever?
The ecig itself would need to be bought separately. This was the first kit I bought http://charliesvapeshop.co.uk/kits/charlies-starter-kits/charlies-evod-starter-kit-_ and I found it great for beginners. I've moved on to slightly more advanced setups since then, but that's only because I treat 'vaping', as it's called, as a hobbyAnd that doesn't come with the pen thingy? whatever it is called hahaha?
Ohhh that sounds like me haha! I shall look into it! thank youSomewhat, yeah. I firmly believe that most of my addiction to smoking is psychological. I'm happy if I can do something that at least feels like smoking.

Probably, but there's no saying how long for. I'd say with any electronic device it's better to spend a little more on something that won't break after a week. Looking at that particular one, there's more bad reviews than good ones which is instantly a sign that it's probably not good!http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ego-E-Shisha-Rechargeable-electronic-Cigarette/dp/B00H5VTZNA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1399996598&sr=8-2&keywords=shisha pen
Would that one work? ahah! I am SO cheap!
True I will have to have a look about then ahah! Thank youProbably, but there's no saying how long for.
