How To Choose A Vape Juice 

What Are Vape Juices Made of?

The composition of the vape juice is nothing tricky – just glycerin (VG), propylene glycol (PG), flavors, and nicotine at will. Different fluids have different PG/VG ratios. Also, some manufacturers pride themselves on using natural flavors; they are expensive and quickly clog your winding. The taste qualities of vape juices vary from single flavors to complex compositions with different tastes on inhalation and exhalation, as well as leaving a unique aftertaste.

Nicotine

First of all, vape juices differ in strength, which is determined by the level of nicotine. If you do not smoke, then you need a nicotine-free e-liquid. For those who are in the process of quitting cigarettes, there are a number of vape juices with different nicotine content: from 1 mg/ml to 24 mg/ml. It is better to select a fortress based on the type of evaporator and the usual power.

For simple electronic cigarettes, it is better to take strong liquids (6-12 mg): these devices produce little vapor, so in order to get the right dose of nicotine, you need to either choose a stronger liquid or vape for a long time and persistently. For more powerful atomizers, 1–3 mg of nicotine is enough.

A blow to the throat depends on the fortress, which is familiar to smokers. On powerful devices, this blow from nicotine liquid is felt more strongly. Its level can also be increased with the use of some flavors when one of the components of the base is propylene glycol.

More Steam or More Flavor?

How to choose the PG/VG ratio? Beginners and even some experienced vapers sometimes get confused when choosing the percentage of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG) in their e-liquid. The PG/VG factor influences mixture consistency and steam generation:

If the composition has a high content of glycerin, the liquid will be denser. The puffs of steam are thicker, but the flavor is almost not felt.

Increasing the propylene glycol percentage will make the liquid more fluid. With this vape juice, taste transfer is better felt. However, there will be less steam.

Among all the options, one can distinguish proportions that have already become classics.

30PG/70VG

Such vape juices contain 70% glycerin and 30% propylene glycol. The 70/30 ratio has long been an unofficial standard. This option is used by most manufacturers. Liquid with this composition is quite thick, so it is usually used for drips and tanks.

40PG/60VG

The vape juice is 40% propylene glycol and 60% glycerin. These proportions are used by many companies as well. This liquid has a watery consistency, so the wick is wetted faster. According to many reviews, this liquid is most suitable for vaping on a serviced MTL base. And although saline e-liquids are made specifically for pod mods, they can also be used for drips if leaks are avoided.

50PG/50VG

The balanced composition contains 50% propylene glycol and 50% glycerin. A fairly common option, which is produced by Brusko Salt, Masons, Boshki Salt, and some other brands. This composition is the most liquid compared to the previous ones. Therefore, it is used for pod systems. In low-power devices, the fluid supply opening is usually quite narrow.

Therefore, the liquid is preferable to be more fluid. This vape juice is also suitable for electronic cigarettes with MTL draw. It is not recommended to fill drips and tanks with this mixture – the risk of leakage or “spitting” of the device increases.

You can also find other ratios. Learn a simple rule: the higher the percentage of VG, the more vapor, the thicker the liquid; the higher the PG content, the richer the taste, the more watery the liquid.

For those using single coil tanks, you can use the 50VG/50PG ratio for more flavor or the 60VG/40PG ratio for more puffs. Juice 70VG/30PG will work well on drips or double-coil tanks, allowing you to let out thick clouds of steam.

Recommendations For Use

During storage, the liquid must be shaken periodically. Then a uniform distribution of the ingredients in the bottle is achieved, and as a result, you get the “right” taste. In order to prevent a change in taste and protect nicotine from oxidation, the collection of liquids must be stored like medicines – in a dark, dry, and cool place. It is also important to avoid sudden temperature changes.

Be sure to pay attention to the expiration date indicated on the package, and for long-term storage – place liquids in the refrigerator.

Some vape juices (especially nicotine ones) may have a dark tint; some liquids will darken over time. As a rule, this is due to the composition of flavors. Cotton wool and spirals from such liquids get dirty faster, so they will have to be changed more often.

Choose specialized shops where you can buy e-liquids with different nicotine content, bases, and flavors, be it fruity e-liquids or dessert-based vape juices. Usually, such shops arrange delivery to your home and have discounts for regular clients.

Conclusion

Switching from a regular or even an electronic cigarette to a vape, a person realizes that a huge number of tastes and types of vape juices are now open to them. There is nothing surprising in the fact that beginner’s eyes widen; they do not know where to start and what to buy. The choice is also complicated by the fact that there’s no answer to the question “Which liquid is better.” There are many options, and everyone chooses for themselves.

If you quit smoking with the help of vaping – with the right liquid strength, you can do it without problems. First, determine your dosage and gradually reduce it. If you do not smoke, then everything is quite simple for you – choose zero. Remember:

• VG – more vapor, thicker liquid; PG – more flavor, less thick liquid.

• Avoid homemade e-liquids from dubious dealers. Store e-liquids in the same way as aspirin – in the dark and cool.

• Shake before use.

• And do not be afraid of anything – the information from this article is enough to make your sensible choice.

The right choice and storage of vape liquid allow you to fully enjoy vaping and not harm your body. Therefore, always carefully study the product you buy and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
