Maybe you’ve come across inexpensive e-juice brands but don’t deny yourself comfort by risking this cheap stuff. Recall the phrase “cheap is also expensive”. Often cheap e-juices are of low-quality which may contain impurities, or may not satisfy your craving. Always stick to reputable brands (premium e-liquids) that are known to use certified, medical-grade nicotine, and food-grade ingredients.
