If you’re new to the land of vaping, then here’s a quick guide to help you navigate through the different vaping liquids out there:
What is vaping?
It’s the use of a device that heats up blends and herbs, turning them into vapor, which is what you then inhale. Compared to traditional smoking, vaping eliminates the risks and dangers of second-hand smoke as well as cuts down on a user’s nicotine intake. This makes it a healthy alternative to traditional smoking.
What are vaping liquids?
Widely known as e-juice or e-liquid, vaping liquids are also called vapor liquid flavors and are typically made out of a combination of propylene glycol, food flavorings, vegetable glycerin and sometimes, a bit of nicotine. There is a range of PG/VG ratios around as well as varying amounts of nicotine.
What is the PG/VG ratio?
Both PG and VG are odorless liquids. When combined with flavor and nicotine, they create the vaping liquid or e-juice that gives e-cigarettes their flavor, says Vaping360.
If you want a more intense flavor when you vape, or after the “throat hit” effect, then the propylene glycol content in your vaping liquid should be higher than the vegetable glycerin content. This produces less smoke, too, so you can be discreet about vaping in public if you want to.
On the other hand, if you want you want to enjoy a smoother vaping experience, one your throat will thank you for, then opt for a higher VG instead. This can mute the flavor though but you can easily use more power to generate more vapor and better flavor to counteract that effect.
The more you know and understand about vaping liquids, the better your vaping experience will be. So keep this guide front and center to help you out when you want to try your hand at mixing and making your own e-juice.
