If you\u2019re a smoker looking to make the switch to electronic cigarettes, you\u2019re probably curious about what you\u2019ll be putting into your lungs instead of that dreadful tobacco smoke. Vaping terminology can be a bit confusing at first, so in this article I\u2019m going to try and explain the differences between the two most widely used e-liquid bases: propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG).<\/p>\n
No-Match e-liquids contain four ingredients: a PG or VG base, nicotine, water and food grade flavourings. The base, or carrier, holds the nicotine and flavour in suspension so your e-cigarette or vapourizer can produce those nice clouds of smoke-like vapour. Both propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are non-toxic organic compounds and generally considered safe for consumption. In fact, they are widely used as food additives in a variety of commercially available food and personal care products.<\/p>\n
First, let\u2019s talk about PG-based e-liquid, because it\u2019s the most popular of the two. The low density of the juice means that gunk doesn\u2019t build up on the heating element of your atomiser as fast as it does when thicker vegetable glycerin liquid is used.<\/p>\n
Propylene glycol is a tasteless odorless substance, so it doesn\u2019t alter the flavour of the e-liquid in any way. PG also produces a stronger throat hit, similar to that of tobacco cigarettes.<\/p>\n
Vegetable glycerin is a considerably thicker solution, compared to propylene glycol. On its own, VG has a slight sweet taste which also makes the e-liquid sweeter and the flavours a little difficult to detect.<\/p>\n
Because of its thick consistency, VG e-liquids produce significantly more vapour.<\/p>\n
PG e-liquids tend to give you a better throat hit and a lot more flavour. Most No-Match premium e-liquids are predominantly PG based. Our 70% VG e-liquid on the other hand, allows your atomizer to produce a lot more vapour. VG e-liquid is a thicker and more sticky fluid, the more VG e-liquid you use, the less of a throat hit you\u2019re going to get \u2013 that\u2019s the general idea.<\/p>\n
The vaping community is evenly divided when it comes to e-liquid preference. Some enjoy the intense throat hits more than flavour and vapour, others enjoy the sweet, thick plumes of vapour.<\/p>\n
We suggest starting with PG e-liquid, especially if you are looking for an experience similar to smoking.<\/p>\n
