Premium liquids, grail of e-liquids

Marketing studies do not laugh when it comes to consumables related to the electronic cigarette. We often hear about the different categories of e-liquid classified high-end without really knowing what it returns.

These VIP products are the result of a careful refining aimed at a specific clientele, in search of a flavor that is not common to all the others. Called "premium", these e-liquids are distributed in certified stores; therefore, buy this kind of products is not on the sidelines under penalty of infringement. Sold at high prices, we often wonder if these solutions are overpriced or are really worth it. We look at this right away.

The material difference between a simple liquid and a premium liquid

It is customary to decline to standard vials categorized tobacco flavors, fruity or greedy. Some mixes vary these flavors for the more experienced. And it's the same system that's applied to premium liquids that are built on the same basis, but the perception is not at all similar. In these pearls are a multitude of flavors that one does not learn in a session of vape. As a top-of-the-range product, designers use more technological and sharp processes to refine flavors to the maximum.

As a result, the taste of the steam as a whole reflects an explosion that leaves no sensation on the sidelines. It's as if you put caviar, lobster, zebu fillet and ice cream in your mouth at the same time without disturbing your appetite. Defined as such, it is very difficult to imagine what it actually brings. However, the originality of the procedure, the price of the ingredients and the value of the presentation in general must be relied on.

How to recognize a premium at the look?

Beautiful, that's the term that summarizes the presentation of a premium vial. However, with the diversity of builders found in the four corners of the world, we must be more skeptical about this presentation. In general, everything is different at home.

First the box, and yes, small wonders are always highlighted compared to the usual cheap liquids. Presented as perfume, we say right now that this one is special. On this box are information on the liquid, its packaging and the pharmaceutical certificate that guarantees the originality and the pointed procedure that is applied to produce it. Be aware that if you purchase a premium e-liquid and it does not provide information about the content, composition and names of designers and resellers, is that you are in front of what we call a "fake" or a copy.

This possibility can be avoided by going directly to buy your product from an authorized specialist. As for the vial, some clues can value the high-end e-liquids. One can quickly recognize a solution by the shape of the bottle, which should not be commonplace, and with the specification of the treatment of the chemistry of the liquid, it seems tinted differently from the others. If the base (still propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin) is standard, the handling of it is not the same. Indeed, premium liquids are packaged in pharmacies and the toxic agents they contain are significantly lessened. For this, the color is not at all the same as in the usual liquids despite the ratio, the dosage and the main material are identical.

The disadvantages encountered with regard to Premium e-liquid

It's like buying a good long-time whiskey, a premium, it's for an occasion, a new experiment that needs to be celebrated as it should be. What shocks the first is the price! A higher class e-liquid can go up to 20 times the price of a normal solution. Is it justified? Yes and no. In a view of overabundance, wealth, we easily accept this whim, however if we take into account the price / quality ratio, we instinctively realize that it is the marketing cost, the price of advertising, which is highlighted. Although the product is special and qualitatively superior to others, its accessibility must be given more importance in order to be able to judge it.

The second criticism that can be attributed to these vials at gold prices refers to the practical level. A solution of this caliber does not vapid anyhow. You must have the equipment you need; one who thoroughly optimizes the perception of the research that has been accomplished in this jewel. Otherwise, a dripper in subohm can quickly ruin this pleasure and throw your money at the window. The annoying thing is that to be able to enjoy the value of the ingredients, you have to have the material that goes with it, so forget your old clearomizer with kanthal A1 0.2 mm mounted in simple clapton. For each product line, a specific configuration is required, and unless you have all the models in your home, you will need to re-coil, choose a different battery and replace your drip tip;

DIY VS Premium, a duel of class and passion

Is there a competition in both concepts? In some aspects, the match seems balanced while knowing that the procedure and the technique of manufacturing an e-liquid are very different depending on whether it is industrial or artisanal. To clarify the debate, quality is not the main criterion that can bring down the balance. Other conditions such as ease of access, price and economy will also be considered.

In terms of quality, we can not say that homemade preparation can compete with pharmaceutical tools. If the price of premium e-liquids is so high, it is because its overall cost of production is very expensive. Moreover, very complex operations are applied during these passages in laboratories like thermal decantations, in order to remove as much toxins and disruptive agents.

To meet this complexity, the DIY will maintain its specialization and its unique nature. Far from tutelage the industrial procedure of the premiums, the vapes of DIY are one hundred percent special and what is fun is that everybody can put in it, provided to well control the electrical principles, electronic and to provide the right tools and materials. A DIY is always specific even if the rendering is totally disgusting, in this context it is a waste of time for a missed product that is harvested. To sum up, if you are looking for superior quality, the premiums are unbeatable. On the other hand if you seek your vape unique to you and your desires, invest in the craft of the liquid.

Second round, let's move on to accessibility and price

As mentioned before, premium e-liquids are very expensive. And the opportunity to buy must be special. Also, the DIY seems to take the advantage in terms of economy. In general, properly preparing for the design of your own cloud also requires an investment; on the acquisition of ingredients, the purchase of materials, and the time it takes for the operation (including waiting for maceration or steeping ).

Despite this, this preparation goes in the right direction as and as the experimentation, the work becomes easier and it is reflexes that evolve. This adaptation time is also not common to all do-it-yourselfers. And what about the uninitiated to the reconstructible? In this case, it would be worthwhile to make sure to have a good liquid that to hope a mediocre result because of its incapacity to produce the good vape.

On counting, one must recognize the strengths of both liquids. On the one hand, we have the quality of premium e-liquids, flawless, safe and guarantee a successful vape experience. It may be said that a vape depends on the need of the user, the reality is not less that this solution has been studied by experts of taste, sensations and all this in a very scientific environment.

The question of price is forgivable in a sense, in the context where one can not arrive at such details without going to ask the experts. On the other hand, we have everything else, the imagination, the freedom to experiment and delve into what we are looking for and to be passionate about accomplishing it. Each vaper who has embarked on the rebuilding has suffered failures, but gains in experience. When consumers prefer the quick, the safe, the easiest, they do not hesitate to make sacrifices for these few drops of perfection. When they are more oriented towards personalization, experimentation, the unique, their sacrifices will turn to research and passion. Result: draw.
