Qualitative and quantitative compositions of fluids for electronic cigarettes

  • Published:
Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

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.
