Whether you’re new to vaping or rethinking what you inhale, understanding the ingredients in your e-liquid is essential—especially if you care about your health.
Most vape juices are made with two key ingredients: PG (Propylene Glycol) and VG (Vegetable Glycerin). These base liquids determine how your vape feels, tastes, and affects your body.
PG is a thin, synthetic chemical made from petroleum. Yes—the same base material used in motor oil and antifreeze. It’s used in everything from processed foods to cosmetics.
Why do traditional e-liquid brands use it? Because PG:
Carries flavor very well
Produces a strong “throat hit”
Helps thin the liquid for easier vaporization
But PG also has downsides:
It’s petroleum-derived, not plant-based
It can cause throat irritation, dryness, headaches, or allergic reactions
People with PG sensitivity often report discomfort or tightness in the chest when vaping
Bottom line: PG makes vape juice more intense, but it comes at a cost—especially if you care about putting clean ingredients in your body.
VG is a natural, plant-derived ingredient made from oils like coconut, soy, or palm. It’s thicker and sweeter than PG, and much gentler on the body.
Why choose VG?
Produces smooth, dense vapor clouds
Feels soft and soothing on the throat
Is non-toxic, non-irritating, and generally safer for sensitive users
Most vape juice on the market uses a PG/VG blend, often in a 70/30 or 50/50 ratio. This means lots of flavor, but also lots of artificial additives and a strong throat hit.
To enhance flavor, many traditional brands rely on:
Artificial flavorings
Artificial sweeteners
Synthetic chemicals to boost intensity
These additives might make the vape taste like candy, but they’re not ideal if you’re looking for a gentler, more natural experience.
Our high VG e-liquid offers a cleaner alternative that balances flavor with health-conscious ingredients. Here's what makes it different:
Very low PG content (15% from the flavoring)
No artificial sweeteners
A blend of natural and artificial flavors
Maltol, a naturally occurring flavor enhancer found in fruits and bread crust, used instead of synthetic sweeteners
You’ll get great flavor that is light and smooth clouds—without the harsh chemicals.
