E liquids are made from 3 main ingredients; vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol and flavourings. Most e liquids also contain nicotine, however there are plenty of flavours of vape juice that have nicotine free options.

There are quite a few 'types' of e liquid, but they generally all fall into a few main categories. If you're new to vaping, it's a good idea to know what these are so that you can choose the correct type for your vape kit or e-cigarette. Find out more about these below.

Types Of E-Liquid

All e liquids contain a ratio of two important ingredients. These are VG (vegetable glycerin) and PG (propylene glycol). VG is a thicker substance whereas PG is thinner. Different ratios of these ingredients will affect the viscosity of the vape liquid and therefore which types of device they will be most suitable for. They also have an effect on the vapour and 'throat hit' that an e liquid will produce:

E-liquids with a VG bias tend to produce larger vapour clouds with little to no throat hit.

E Liquids with a PG bias provide the hit to the back of the throat that is often favoured by those trying to give up smoking. These liquids tend to produce a more subtle amount of vapour.
