PG vs VG
PROPYLENE GLYCOL (PG) and VEGETABLE GLYCERINE (VG)?
PG and VG are non-toxic, safe for human consumption. Both have been widely used as food additives in a large variety of commercially available food products such as breads soft drinks cheese, cakes, ice cream and many more. PG and VG are the base liquids of e-liquids and produce the throat hit and vapour clouds when vaping.
Propylene Glycol
- Low viscosity with a consistency like water.
- Lower density produces small vapour clouds.
- Completely tasteless and delivers a sharper throat hit.
- Carrier for the flavour and nicotine.
- Does not affect or alter the flavour of your e-juice.
Vegetable Glycerine
- It has a thick, dense consistency like syrup.
- The main producer of large vape clouds.
- Odourless and has a slight sweet taste.
- Has a weaker throat hit.
Mixing PG and VG
PG and VG are pre-mixed together in your e-liquids in different mixed amounts, 50%/50%, 60%/40%, 70%/30% and 80%/20%. This is in reference to the VG to PG percentage ratio in e-liquid. When mixed you get flavour intensity and throat hit of PG and the large clouds of VG. PG/VG mix ratio will dictate the vaping experience you will have. High PG ratio more throat hit less vapour cloud, high VG ratio less throat hit more vapour cloud.
WHAT PG/VG RATIO IS BEST
This will depend on several factors. Do want a strong a throat hit how much flavour you would like and how much cloud you want to produce, also the type of e-cigarette or vape mod you are using.
