VG PG Ratio in Vape Juice: What It Means
VG and PG are the two base liquids in every e-liquid. The ratio between them affects vapour production, throat hit and whether the liquid works in your device. Getting it wrong can cause leaks or dry hits.
Quick answer: Use high-VG liquid for sub-ohm coils and high-PG liquid for small pods. A 50/50 ratio is the safest all-round choice for beginners.
What VG and PG do
| Ingredient | Full name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| VG | Vegetable glycerin | More vapour, smoother, thicker |
| PG | Propylene glycol | More throat hit, thinner, carries flavour |
Common ratios and where they fit
A 50/50 blend works in most pod systems and beginner devices. A 70/30 VG-PG blend suits sub-ohm tanks and produces more vapour. High-PG blends, such as 60/40 PG-VG, work well in small pods and deliver a stronger throat hit.
| Ratio | Best for |
|---|---|
| 50/50 | Beginners and general pod use |
| 70/30 VG-PG | Sub-ohm tanks and cloud production |
| 60/40 PG-VG | Small pods and stronger throat hit |
Why the wrong ratio causes problems
High-VG liquid is thick and may not wick fast enough in a small pod, causing dry hits. High-PG liquid is thin and can leak in a sub-ohm tank. Match the ratio to the device rather than choosing by flavour alone.
Choosing for the first time
If you are using a starter pod kit, start with a 50/50 nicotine salt. If you are using a sub-ohm tank, choose a high-VG liquid. Ask the shop to confirm compatibility before you buy.
