Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Difference Between PG and VG in a Vape Juice?
The major difference between PG and VG is that PG provides flavour and throat hit, while VG produces vapour clouds and contributes to a smoother inhale. Their ratio decides the performance and the thickness of e-liquids. If you want flavour intensity, opt for high PG vaping liquids, and for improved vapour production, choose high VG vaping liquids.
How do Nicotine Salts Different from Freebase Nicotine?
Nicotine salts are a form of nicotine that combines nicotine with an acid, offering smoother throat hits and faster absorption. Freebase nicotine, on the other hand, is pure nicotine, typically harsher on the throat but delivers stronger effects. Nicotine salts are subjected to a smooth throat hit and rapid nicotine absorption even at 10 or 20 mg strengths. Contrarily, freebase nicotine gives a harsher throat hit and absorbs slowly.
Can I use any E liquid in any Vape Device?
No, the e-liquid’s PG/VG ratio and nicotine type should match your device's coil resistance and intended vaping style for optimal performance and to avoid leaking or burnt coils. For instance, higher VG vaping juices are compatible with low-resistance coil devices, and high PG e-juices are ideal for high-resistance coils.
What does "Shortfill" mean?
A shortfill is a large bottle of nicotine-free e liquid with space left to add a nicotine shot (nic shot) to achieve the desired nicotine strength (TPD-compliant).
How do I Choose the right Nicotine Strength for my E liquid?
This depends on your previous smoking habits or current nicotine tolerance. Heavy smokers may start with higher strengths (12-20mg freebase or 10-20mg nic salts), while light smokers or occasional vapers are best suited for lower strengths, e.g., 3-6mg freebase or 10mg nic salts.
How Long does E liquid last once Opened?
The longevity of an opened vape liquid is 6-12 months; however, it is suggested to use it within a month for the best taste. Also, keep them in a cool, dark place and avoid direct sunlight exposure to preserve their flavour and nicotine stability.
Why Does my e cig liquid Change Colour over time?
It's normal for e-juices to darken over time due to oxidation particularly those containing nicotine. This doesn't mean it's gone bad, but the flavour might mellow or change slightly.
Can I Mix Different Vape Flavours?
Yes, you can mix compatible vape liquids to create your own unique flavour combinations, especially with refillable tanks and pods. Ensure the PG/VG ratios are similar for the best results.
Are there Nicotine-free E-liquids Available?
Yes, e cig liquids are widely available in 0mg (nicotine-free) options, especially shortfills for vaping flavours without nicotine. Shortfills allow you to add nic shots of your desired nicotine strength, offering a customised vaping experience.
Do Vape Juices Expire?
Yes, vape juices expire. Usually, the average shelf life is up to 2 years, but we suggest checking the manufacturer's recommended best use dates on the packaging for safe consumption.
