Which liquid is best for my vaping device?

Categories : All Articles

When choosing the best e-liquids, many vapers focus solely on factors such as flavour preference and nicotine content. While these are important for your overall enjoyment, you also need to consider which liquid is best for your specific vaping device.

Although you can technically use any e-liquid with any device, some perform much better than others when paired with different devices. Choosing the wrong liquid can result in a disappointing vape with unpleasant flavours, poor cloud production, and less of a nicotine hit.

Understanding your e-liquids

E-liquids are generally made up of 4 main ingredients; propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), nicotine, and flavourings. Of all these ingredients, PG and VG are present in the majority of e-liquids in varying quantities, and this is what affects your vaping experience.

High PG E-liquids

High PG e-liquids are a popular choice with new vapers as they provide a stronger throat hit and effective nicotine delivery. High PG e-liquids are also best vaped at lower temperatures, making them ideal for use with pen style and mouth-to-lung vape devices.

High VG E-liquids

High VG e-liquids are popular with more experienced vapers and those that favour direct to lung vaping devices. High VG liquids have a thicker consistency, helping them to produce larger clouds. They need to be used at higher temperatures for the best results.

50/50 E-liquids

50/50 e-liquids are a great choice for most devices as they are perfectly balanced to provide the best of both worlds. The PG delivers the throat hit and nicotine delivery, whilst the VG produces the clouds and flavour.

Short Fill E-liquids

Short fill e-liquids are a popular choice as they provide the flexibility to mix and match to meet your specific requirements. Short fill e-liquids are provided in a bottle that contains extra space to add nicotine shots, nic salts, cooler shots, or additional PG or VG. Depending on the composition of the original e-liquid and the shot you choose to add, you can customise the mix to suit pretty much any device.
