Qualitative and quantitative compositions of fluids for electronic cigarettes

Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal volume 46, pages687–692(2013)Cite this article

The composition of fluids used in “electronic cigarettes” was studied without preliminary preparation procedures using one- and two-dimensional homo- and heteronuclear 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy in addition to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). It was shown that the main components of the mixtures were non-tobacco products.
