How to choose the right vaping e-liquid for you?

How to choose the right vaping e-liquid for you?

Published on 2023-05-01 00:47:30 by Vape And Go

Probably one of the most important parts of vaping is the e-liquid, and you have to make sure it is the right one for you! As the top ultimate juice e-liquid shop in the UK, we have put together a handy guide to make sure that you get the most out of your vaping experience. With so many different factors to consider, from strengths and flavours, to blends – how do you know if you are going to be a Pancake Man ejuice vaper or a Darkstar e liquid vaper? We are here to help!

Ultimate Juice E Liquid

Back to Basics

E liquid only consists of 4 ingredients:

  • Vegetable Glycerine
  • Propylene Glycol
  • Flavourings
  • Nicotine (always optional)

Sounds easy enough right? Well, this is where things can start to get complicated. As a top Ultimate Juice E-Liquid shop we have broken it down for you:

Vegetable Glycerine (VG) comes from vegetable oils and is a non-toxic, colourless fluid that is sweet and thick, and is responsible for the cloud production of your e liquid.

Propylene Glycol (PG) is a thinner synthetic liquid than VG and also has a sweet taste, and this is the carrier for your flavour and nicotine, and where you get the throat hit from. 

Choosing which ratio e liquid you want is the hard part, and you need to consider what device you use and what style of vaping you prefer

Quick Guide

Use higher a higher VG ratio for sub-ohm tanks – the sub-ohm coils are able to soak up the liquid more effectively and give you a denser cloud and massive vape production – like our pancake man ejuice!

High PG content is recommended for direct to lung devices as the thinner liquid is able to handle the coil better – it gives the sensation of having a drag on a cigarette. 

50/50 PG/VG ratio is ideal for beginners and for use with low powered devices or high resistance coils to give you a better throat hit. This also has the best and most intense flavours

High PG liquids tend to have higher strength nicotine and a more discreet cloud production.

Pancake Man ejuice

What strength nicotine is right for me?

If you are using our top ultimate e liquid shop in order to give up smoking, then you will need to calculate how many cigarettes you smoked in a day and work it out from there.

  • Heavy smoker (20+ cigarettes a day) – recommended nicotine level is 12mg
  • Medium smoker (10 cigarettes a day) – recommended nicotine level is 9mg
  • Light/ casual smoker (1-5 cigarettes a day) – recommended nicotine level is 3mg

What strength of nicotine you go for is also affected by your vaping device and your vaping style. The two main vaping styles are MTL (mouth to lung – where you hold the vape in your mouth before inhaling) and DTL (direct to lung – where you inhale directly into your lungs as you would if you were smoking). As a general rule of thumb, MTL uses higher nicotine strength and DTL uses lower nicotine strengths.

Darkstar e liquid

There is also the option of using a short fill e liquid. This is where you get 100ml of 0mg (nicotine free) flavoured e liquid. You then add something called nicotine shots (a bottle of flavourless nicotine) and add this to your short fill liquid. This one can be a bit confusing at first, but makes for a cost effective alternative than buying small bottles all the time, especially if you are a sub-ohm vaper!!

An example for the Darkstar E liquid shortfill would be: 100ml of the Darkstar e liquid flavour (omg nicotine) and 2 x 18mg nic shots will create 120ml of 3mg nicotine e liquid for your vape. If you are struggling to work short fill liquids out, don’t hesitate to get in touch for some help and advice!!

Nic Salts

The latest trend on the e liquid market is the introduction of nicotine salts. These are an e liquid that uses the same nicotine base as standard liquids, but with added benzoic acid. Traditional e liquids can be quite harsh on the throat when using high strength nicotine, but by adding the benzoic acid it means that you can have a high strength nicotine but with a smoother vape! It is perfect for those who are looking to quit smoking as it is absorbed quickly into the bloodstream due to the high nicotine content and can give you a rush just like smoking a real cigarette. It is popular for a good reason!

What’s your flavour?

Then comes the fun part!! Finding out which flavour you want to go for. One of the main benefits of vaping is that there are so many different flavours to choose from! Whether you are a sweet Pancake man ejuice vaper or you like fruity darkstar e liquid, there are so many different options from our top Ultimate E-Liquid shop that you can choose from.

Most people who are new to vaping will tend to go for either a tobacco flavoured, or a menthol flavoured e liquid as the taste is more familiar to them. However, people then start to get adventurous when they have been vaping for a while! The main categories are:

  • Tobacco
  • Sweet
  • Fresh / minty
  • Fruity
  • Drink and cocktail inspired

Now, when you are used to the deep, earthy taste of cigarettes, you might be wondering why there are so many fruity and sweet flavoured e liquids on the market? When you are a veteran smoker, it is a well known side effect that your taste buds become conditioned to enjoy the taste of smoke. When you quit smoking, you regain your taste buds and sense of smell back pretty quickly!! And this is when you will probably be your most adventurous.

Try, try and try again!

With the sheer amount of e-liquids that are on the market, it can be overwhelming for new and experienced vapers alike. The only way that you will truly find the right e liquid for you is to test a lot of different e liquids – you need to make sure you find the right flavour and strength that will make vaping an enjoyable experience!

Will you be someone who prefers food flavours, like pancake man ejuice or cake flavoured e liquid, or will you be someone who wants to try different and exotic flavours like darkstar e liquid or the notorious Heisenberg flavour?

Will you be someone who finds a favourite flavour and sticks to it, or will you be someone who constantly swaps and tries new flavours? The best way to find out is to get straight to tasting and start browsing our top Ultimate Juice E-Liquid shop!!
