Vaping provides the opportunity to find just the right flavor of e-liquid for any time of the day or to go with anything you may be in the mood to try. However, nicotine liquid is more than just flavor. It can create the throat hit, the smoothness and vaping sensation that adds to the experience.
Additionally, nicotine liquid in combination with the type of atomizer you use will also be responsible for the volume and density of the vapor produced by the e-cig, regardless of the type and the customization.
Choosing the right nicotine liquid is important and today, more than ever, those who enjoy vaping have a number of options to consider.
The PG/VG Ratio
Depending on the company manufacturing the nicotine liquid, there may be options to customize the ratio of PG (propyl glycol) and VG (vegetable glycerin) in the mix. VG adds a natural sweetness and smoothness to the vaping experience while PG is the solvent that carries the flavor. With higher levels of PG the flavor is more intense.
VG is also responsible for producing the vapor with any type of e-cig, and this can be significant with mech mods and custom build atomizers. PG, while not responsible for the vapor production, creates a “throat hit” which is more like the actual smoking experience with a tobacco cigarette, cigar or pipe.
The Nicotine Strength
Different website and e-liquid producers will offer their e-juice formulations with different strengths of nicotine, just as they allow for customization of the PG/VG blend.
Virtually all nicotine liquid options are available without any nicotine at all, right up to a medium or a strong level of nicotine. Strong is usually 24mg/ml. There is also an extra light available in most e-liquids at 3m/ml. Depending on how much you vape and if you are using vaping to slowly decrease nicotine intake you can choose your level based on your own needs and preferences.
Last but not least, some of the mint, ice, menthol or “cool” flavors also include a chemical known as Koolada. It doesn’t add taste, just that sensation of cool during the vaping experience.
Some of the top online retailers of nicotine liquid now offer the base, in the PG and VG ratio you want, as well as the nicotine strength you select. Then, you can buy the flavorings and create your own blends, which is the next evolution in customization of vaping.
