What Is 50/50 E-Liquid?

Why E-Liquids Contain Different Ratios Of PG & VG?

With varying ratios of PG & VG, e-liquids change in viscosity. A higher PG ratio results in a more liquid consistency due to PG being thinner, while higher VG percentages yield a thicker e-liquid as VG is thicker.

High PG (60%+)

E-liquids with more PG are ideal for kits and tanks with coils above 1 ohm, designed for ‘mouth to lung (MTL)’ vaping. Thinner juice is necessary to heat quickly at lower temperatures with higher resistance coils.

This setup produces cool vapour clouds and a satisfying throat hit depending on nicotine strength.

High VG (60%+)

Vape juices with higher VG suit kits with coils below 1 ohm for ‘sub ohm’ or ‘direct to lung (DTL)’ vaping styles. Thicker liquid slows vapourisation at higher temperatures produced by lower resistance coils, resulting in big, flavorful clouds with minimal throat hit.

50PG/50VG

A balanced 50/50 e-liquid offers an all-around experience suitable for most kits, tanks, and coils.

Its properties vary based on coil and power settings, providing medium-density vapour, good flavour, and a subtle to medium throat hit depending on nicotine strength.

Understanding ‘Throat Hit’

‘Throat hit’ refers to the scratchy sensation at the back of the throat experienced when inhaling smoke or vapour. Higher ohm coils with a high PG e-liquid mimic this sensation, making them beginner-friendly for those transitioning from cigarettes.

Higher nicotine strengths intensify throat hit, so adjusting PG levels, nicotine intake, or trying nicotine salt liquids can provide a smoother experience.
