Abstract

A water-based electronic cigarette liquid is disclosed. The water-based electronic cigarette liquid includes the following ingredients in parts by mass: 5-60 parts of water, 5-50 parts of smoke ingredient which is solid at normal temperature and is soluble in water, and 0-30 parts of glycerol. The electronic cigarette liquid in this invention has environmental protection, high safety, comfortable smoking taste, high smoke producing effect, and low viscosity.
