Organic Juices

I had an organic el torro juice a long long time ago and it was fairly rank and never thought about it after that, was talking to a new vaper who is insisting upon only organic juices but couldnt give me a specific reason why

soo, Organic juices lads and ladies, what do you think?

Organic in what way? Organic ingredients?

Organic means no pesticides used in the production of the source materials. It can mean other things too depending on how fluffy you want to get.

Vegetable Glycerine (VG) is produced mainly from rapeseed and is practically imposable to make 100% pure. In fact the purity will vary depending on the grade and cost that a producer is willing to pay. You will end up with some trace amounts of "other" stuff in there.

Propylene glycol (PG) is manufactured from propylene oxide, a petroleum-based raw material. No pesticides here!

Nicotine is extracted from tobacco plants though can be synthesized but I don't think anyone is using the expensive synthesized stuff. Tobacco plants have a huge range of pests - expect big use of pesticides here though there are specialist organic producers.

Flavourings for the most part will be synthesized and used in very small amounts so for all intents you could consider this organic.

If a vendor is claiming organic I would ask them about the VG and Nicotine. I really doubt there is any juice that is truly organic due to the nicotine element.

Probably not and unlike foods there isnt as far as i know an organic organization that certifies an e juice so could really be anything although one of them claims to be fda approved although im not sure the fda certify organic
