PG and VG are both ingredients in E-Liquids.

E-liquids are the juice that gets turned into vapor in a vape device or e-cigarette.

There are three ingredients in e-liquid. Depending on the mixer, they will appear in varying amounts.

The three ingredients in e-liquid are:

1. PG (Propylene glycol)
2. VG (vegetable glycerine)
3. Flavorings

It’s not uncommon to find a juice that is 10% nicotine. Another 10% will be flavoring. That leaves about 80% for your favorite flavor. The levels of each vary of course, but that’s a good guestimate.

What Does Each Ingredient in E-Liquid Do?

VG is a sweet, thick liquid.If you’ve got a juice that’s pumping out fat clouds of vapor, that’s because of the of the VG. If it has a sweet taste like a Boston cream pie or a bag of Skittles, it is because of this ingredient.

Propylene Glycol (PG) is a thin liquid.Unlike VG, it does not have a taste. However, it does have a very important function. PG creates the “throat hit” that many people look for in a vape experience. It mimics the feeling of traditional smoking. That tends to mean that a heavy-duty vaper, or an ex-smoker will tend to want a little more PG in their vape. However, some people are highly sensitive to this sensation, and prefer a lower level of PG in their juice. There’s no wrong way to do it. It is all about personal preference.

How do I know How Much PG and VG I Want?

The truth is you won’t know what you like until you find it. Start out with an e-liquid that is rate 50/50 for PG and VG. After that, try juices that have more of one or the other. You will be a much smarter shopper after that. You will be able to talk shop like a pro, and find an amazing juice for you to try once you know your own vaping palette.

How do I Get a Heavy Throat Hit From My Vape?

Dial up the PG levels and see what you think. You’ve got many options. You can get as precise as 55/45 VG/PG e-juices.

How do I get a Smoother, Less Throat-Heavy Hit from My Vape?

Do the opposite of what is recommended above. Grab an e-liquid with a 70/30 VG/PG profile. You might want to try an 80/20 e-juice , such as Ise rather than Inari salts.

A Note on Nicotine Levels…

We offer a choice of nicotine levels on many of our vape juices. You can pick your nicotine levels for your vape juice like you’d pick a t-shirt size.

What are Nicotine Salt E-Liquids?

Nicotine salt e-liquids use a special compound to create an experience that many vapers consider superior to other nicotine juices. It offers many advantages over the the original nicotine additives in e-juice. It uses the whole nicotine compound just like in a tobacco leaf. It lets you get a smoother, stronger draw. It also lets you get more vape hits out of the same amount of e-juice.
