Vape juice, also called e-liquid or e-juice, is the liquid that powers vapes. It’s made up of a mix of ingredients that are heated to produce vapor, which users inhale.
Vape juice is made by blending four basic ingredients:
Vegetable Glycerin (VG) – A thick liquid that produces vapor.
Propylene Glycol (PG) – A thinner liquid that provides the throat hit.
Flavoring – Added to create the taste you enjoy.
Nicotine (optional) – For users who want a nicotine boost.
These ingredients are mixed in different ratios to create various kinds of vape juices with different characteristics.
The VG (Vegetable Glycerin) and PG (Propylene Glycol) ratio in vape juice affects the vapor production and throat hit. Here are some common VG/PG ratios:
This is the traditional vape juice with freebase nicotine. It’s used in high-power devices and gives a strong throat hit. It’s great for those who want a more intense nicotine experience.
This vape juice uses nicotine in salt form. It gives a smoother throat hit, even with higher nicotine levels. Nicotine salts are best for low-power devices like pod systems and pens. This is ideal for people who want a stronger nicotine experience without the harsh throat hit.

This vape juice has more VG, which helps make more vapor and gives a smoother throat hit. It’s best for sub-ohm vaping and cloud chasers.
Shortfills come in larger bottles, usually 50ml or more, with space to add nicotine shots. They are great for people who want to customize their nicotine levels. These are often used with high-VG liquids for sub-ohm vaping.
Nicotine shots are bottles of nicotine that you can add to shortfill vape juice to increase nicotine strength. They usually come in strengths like 18mg or 20mg. You mix them into shortfills to get the nicotine level you want.
This vape juice has no nicotine. It’s perfect for those who just want to enjoy the flavor or the vaping experience without nicotine. It’s also a good option for people trying to quit nicotine or those who don’t want it at all. It still gives the same vapor and flavor but without nicotine.
