Types of E-Liquid

Choosing the right vape juice can make or break your vaping experience. And, the right choice is associated with a good understanding of e-liquid types because not every e-juice is for every coil and vape kit. This blog will equip you with an in-depth knowledge of the types of vape juices and what makes one better than another. Read through to find the best liquid for a perfect all-day vape.

Types of e-juices are categorised based on four factors that include

• PG/VG
• Nicotine Strength
• Flavours
• Formats and Bottle Size

All vape juices comprise two base liquids: propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG). These two ingredients shape your vape's feel, flavour, and cloud production. Depending on the PG/VG ratio, vape juices have three further categories.

• High-PG
High-PG e-liquids have a thin consistency yet carry rich flavour well and deliver a stronger throat hit. They work best with low-powered, mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices, pod kits and are Ideal for people who recently switched from smoking.
• High-VG E-Liquids
VG is responsible for smooth, thick clouds with a soft hit on the throat. Thus, high VG vape fluids best suit direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping and more powerful kits with advanced coil technologies. You’ll often find them in shortfills. To further understand, read our blog on PG and VG.
• 50/50 Blends
As the name suggests, this is an even mix of PG and VG. This type of e-juice offers a balance between throat hit and vapour production and is therefore ideal for beginners or seasoned vapers who want a bit of both.

The most common types of vape juice nicotine trending in the market are:

• Freebase Nicotine
This is the traditional form found in most standard vape juices. It offers a stronger throat hit and is usually found in lower strengths like 3mg/ml, 6mg/ml or 12mg/ml nic strength.
• Nicotine Salts (Nic Salts)
There is a difference between nicotine salts and free base e-liquids. Based on pure nicotine, nicotine salts are smoother on the throat and absorb into the bloodstream faster. They are available in strength variations like 10mg/ml or 20mg/ml (TPD Complaint). They are a perfect pick if you are after a stronger hit that is not harsh, or if you are an ex-smoker using pod systems.
