High PG Vape Juice typically has a high ratio of propylene glycol (PG) to vegetable glycerin (VG). These are two common food-grade chemicals that carry flavors and nicotine to make e-liquids.

About High PG Vape Juice

Propylene glycol or High PG is commonly used as a preservative in the food industry. Asthma inhalers include it, as do other medical devices used in the UK. It is a colorless liquid with a slightly sweet taste. Primarily used as a “base” ingredient in vape juice, it has a lower viscosity than vegetable glycerin.

What does High PG in Vape juice stand for?

PG is a food-grade liquid that makes up the majority of e-liquid or High PG Vape Juice. PG is an abbreviation for “propylene glycol”. Almost all vape juices contain a ratio of both ingredients, but you may come across some e-liquids marketed as “Maximum PG.” This means that it contains very small amounts of propylene glycol.

Read on to learn more about PG and vape juice’s different ratios. But first, here’s some information about the ingredients that make up most e-liquid and e-cigarette refills.

Are High PG e-cigarettes safe?

Is propylene glycol safe to vaporize? Yes, just to be clear, it is considered very safe and non-toxic, and unlike tobacco, it is not carcinogenic!

What does the High PG ratio in e-liquids mean?

E-liquids are made with different PG levels. Depending on the ratio of the ingredients, the smoothness, the strength of the flavor, and the amount of “clouds” will change.

What PG/VG ratio do you need for your Vape kit or tank?

We do not recommend using high VG e-liquids with Classic or “MTL” kits. VG is more viscous than PG and therefore sprays at a different rate. This can cause the coil to burn out quickly and taste pretty awful.

Likewise, I recommend not using high PG e-liquids in sub-ohms or his DTL kits. This is because thicker liquids can clog the coils and cause a burnt taste.

For the above reasons, all OK Vape E-Liquids contain a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. This balance means the e-liquid is versatile and works well with most vape kits and tanks, whether designed for mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung.

This guide details MTL and DTL vaping styles and the differences between each kit type.

What is the best e-liquid for different ohmic coils?

The recommended vape juice for use with various devices has already been mentioned, but it’s important to keep in mind that your coil resistance may have an impact on the e-juice you should use. Be cautious.

Lower resistance coils, for example, less than 1 ohm, are best for higher VG liquids. Coils with resistance greater than 1 ohm are suitable for higher PG arc juice. The table below provides e-liquid recommendations for use with various coil resistances.

E-liquid ingredients

There are three basic e-liquid ingredients found in most vape juices.

These consist of:

Propylene glycol (PG)
Vegetable glycerin (VG)
Flavor

E-liquids can contain varying strengths of nicotine, from completely nicotine-free to up to 20 mg. This is the maximum legal nicotine content of an e-cigarette refill or vape juice set by the EU TPD e-cigarette regulation. Cigarette refills (also known as cartridges or cartomizers) contain a small amount of e-liquid made from the same ingredients as above. Likewise, pre-filled pod cartridges hold up to 2 mL of e-liquid.

Nicotine in e-liquids

Nicotine is a stimulant that is considered addictive. A naturally occurring chemical found in tobacco plants and in small amounts in some fruits and vegetables.

Although there are many nicotine-free e-cigarettes available, many e-cigarette users opt for vape juice with nicotine.

Types of Nicotine-Free

Base Nicotine

Freebase nicotine is the most common form used in most e-liquids. Unless the e-liquid specifically states that it contains nicotine salts (more on that below), it definitely contains freebase nicotine. It offers a powerful throat hit that some vapers find more satisfying, but the higher nicotine intensity can make it a little too harsh.

Nicotine Salts or “Nic Salts”

Nicotine salt liquids, also known as “nick salts,” offer a faster, smoother nicotine hit. It is also a great option for those switching from smoking to e-cigarettes for the first time, as it allows for higher-intensity use and can satisfy cravings sooner.

Which vape kit uses High PG E-Liquid?

E-liquids with high PG content can be utilized in several types of vape kits. However, to enjoy them at their best, you should use a low-power vape kit and a high PG juice with a high resistance coil of 1.0 ohm or higher. This is a powerful kit that produces a lot of vapor.

This is because vaping can be uncomfortable when used with high PG liquids and can increase throat sensations that can be uncomfortable. Fortunately, traditional starter kits and pod kits are ideal for use with high PG juices and produce great flavor, satisfying clouds, and a smooth mouthfeel at low wattages. This means your device needs less charging.

Which high PG e-liquid is right for you?

High PG e-juices are commonly available in nicotine levels of 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 9mg, 12mg, and 18mg. Every vaper is different, and higher nicotine levels often result in a stronger throat sensation.

What is the best high PG liquid device?

This used to be simple advice.

We recommend using a device with a coil resistance greater than 1 ohm (Ω) for high PG liquids and a coil resistance of less than 1 ohm for high VG liquids. Slightly simplistic, we followed the broad principle that high resistance coils work with high PG e-liquids and vice versa.

Resistance is only one factor in how coils and tanks work with e-juice, and some manufacturers have released low-resistance coils that work with high-PG e-juice. E-Cigarette Direct provides recommendations for e-liquids to use in each product’s FAQ (working with manufacturers where appropriate) and is always worth checking out.

Stronger Throat Hit with PG

The fact that PG produces a stronger, more cigarette-like “throat hit” is among the most crucial factors to take into account. Although it may not sound comfortable, many smokers who are just switching will benefit from this. It makes vaping more similar to smoking, which can make the adjustment for new users easier.

PGs are typically discovered in:

Toothpaste
Medicines (oral, topical, rectal, inhalation, injection, drip (eye, ear, nose))
Theater Smoke (Stage Smoke)

PG susceptibility and allergy

In very rare cases, some people may have PG sensitivities or allergies, so we opt to use pure VG-based e-liquids. If you notice any unusual symptoms or irritation, stop using e-cigarettes immediately and consult your doctor if necessary.

If you’ve just switched to e-cigarettes, it’s important to stay hydrated, as vaping PG-containing e-liquids with e-cigarettes is likely to leave you with a dry mouth and sore throat. Some people experience a cough that subsides within a few weeks.

So juices with a high PG content have superior flavor, right?

Well, maybe not always. While PG transmits flavor better, you often inhale a lot more vapor when using a high-VG juice. Consequently, there will be a lot more vapor to taste.
