In case you’re new to Premium Vape Australia, ‘E-liquid’ is a term for the liquid that is used in a vape/e-cigarette to produce both the flavour and vapour. E-liquid consists of two main components - Propylene Glycol (PG) which thins out the consistency of the vapour and Vegetable Glycerin (VG) which thickens the consistency of the vapour. 

PG and VG What Now?

Propylene Glycol is a synthetic organic compound that is used in food processing and pharmaceuticals. It is a clear, odourless, thin, and slightly sweet tasting liquid. Vegetable Glycerine is a colourless, odourless liquid that is non-toxic. It also has a slightly sweet taste, and is used in the food industry as an artificial sweetener as well as in pharmaceuticals.

Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin are the carriers of the flavour concentrates. VG is essentially used as a thickener, whereas PG does the opposite - it is used as a thinner.

What is the VG/PG Ratio, and How Does It Affect My Vape Juice?

The VG/PG ratio describes the difference in quantity between the Propylene Glycol and the Vegetable Glycerine of the vape juice, defining its consistency and therefore harshness on the throat. 

A higher PG ratio such as 70PG/30VG is quite a ‘thin’ liquid, and will typically give you a slightly harsher throat hit. A high VG ratio such as 65VG/35PG is often softer on the throat and will produce larger, more dense vapour production.

Go right ahead! One of the most exciting parts of vaping is which flavours you choose. Let your taste buds explore a wide range of flavours from your favourite dessert to your favourite drink. Here, at the best Vape Shop Australia, we have over 30 different flavours to mix and match. 

The sheer amount of combinations that are available thanks to all of the different flavours that we provide, is too large to even try to count. Crazy Coconut and Mango Tango? Iced Coffee and Chocolate? Don’t let one flavour of Premium Vape Australia stop you from having fun and making a completely unique flavour.

The short answer is yes. The consensus between the states is that Vapes Australia are:

- classified as smoke products (i.e. they cannot be used in smoke free areas, etc.)

- governed by the same laws as tobacco products (i.e. they cannot be sold to people under the age of 18, etc.)

- illegal to sell if they contain liquid nicotine

The best thing you can do is check the individual laws of your state. While it is highly unlikely that a Vape Shop Australia will deviate from the above consensus, it is always a good idea to be aware of where you stand legally.

You might have noticed that all of our E-Liquids mention VG/PG ratios.

Essentially, this refers to how thin or thick the e-liquid is. A higher PG ratio such as 70PG/30VG is quite a ‘thin’ liquid, which will typically give you a slightly harsher throat hit. A high VG ratio, such as 65VG/35PG is the one we prefer to use. It is often softer on the throat and will produce larger, more dense vapour production (clouds).

This is a common issue, and it's almost always because your device is running too hot for the e-liquid. Using too much wattage (power) is the number one culprit for killing flavour. High heat essentially "burns" off the delicate flavour compounds before you can fully taste them, leading to a weak or even burnt taste.

Most standard e-liquids on the market are made with a 70% VG (Vegetable Glycerin) and 30% PG (Propylene Glycol) ratio. VG is thicker and requires more power (wattage) to vaporize properly. Many mass-produced devices are pre-programmed to run optimally at this 70VG/30PG ratio, which is also a very cheap formulation to produce.

We take a more refined approach to crafting our e-liquids. We specifically formulate our blends at a 60% VG and 40% PG ratio. Here’s why that matters for flavour:

• Smoother & More Flavourful: PG is a better flavour carrier than VG. Our higher PG content means the flavour is more pronounced and reaches your palate more effectively.
• Optimized for a Cooler Vape: Because our e-liquid is slightly thinner (thanks to the higher PG), it vaporizes perfectly at a lower, gentler temperature. This prevents the "flavour-killing" high heat, resulting in a much smoother and more robust flavour experience from the first puff to the last.

Flavour is killed by high wattage. While many companies use cheaper, high-VG formulas that need more power, we've perfected a 60VG/40PG blend that delivers superior, smoother flavour at a lower, more gentle heat. You get a purer taste, every time.
