PG and VG Ratios

When it comes to finding your perfect vape juice, understanding PG and VG ratios is key. Propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG) are the backbone of every e-liquid, and their balance shapes everything from throat hit to vapour clouds.

If you’re after a crisp, noticeable throat hit and bold flavour, high PG e-liquids (think 50/50 or 60/40 PG/VG) are your go-to. These blends are ideal for MTL vaping with vape pens and pod kits, delivering that satisfying sensation similar to traditional cigarettes. Brands like Vampire Vape and Doozy Vape offer a wide range of high PG options, making it easy to find a juice that matches your flavour preferences and vaping style.

On the flip side, if you love thicker clouds and a smooth throat hit, high VG e-liquids (like 70/30 VG/PG) are where it’s at. These are perfect for sub ohm devices and DTL vaping, giving you a smooth vaping experience with impressive vapour production. High VG e-liquids are a favourite among cloud chasers and those who prefer a gentler inhale.

Nic salts, such as those from Elf Bar, usually stick to a balanced 50/50 PG/VG ratio. This delivers a smoother nicotine delivery and is great for MTL vapes, offering a satisfying throat hit without being harsh.

Ultimately, the right PG and VG ratio comes down to your own taste and vaping style. Whether you want a strong throat hit, smoother clouds, or something in between, top vape juice brands have you covered with a variety of options.
