What is high PG vape juice

50:50 PG/VG labelling on a vape juice bottle

Propylene glycol (PG) is one of the two main ingredients of e-liquid (the other being Vegetable Glycerine (VG)). E-liquids with a concentration of 50%PG or higher are regarded as high PG. A high PG vape juice has a thin consistency and makes a liquid that is ideal for use in low powered mouth to lung (MTL) vape kits.

PG also produces a more prominent throat hit that is favoured by people trying to quit tobacco as it replaces the sensation of smoking. High PG vape juice usually come in the following ratios:

50PG/50VG

55PG/45VG

60PG/40VG

For best results, use a high PG shortfill in a refillable pod kit or vape pen that uses coils with a resistance of 0.6ohms to 1.5ohms.

What is a shortfill e-liquid?

Image of a 100ml and 50ml shortfill bottle

A shortfill is a big bottle of vape juice that contains no nicotine, but leaves room for you to add nicotine if you choose to do so. They come in two sizes; a 120ml bottle with 100ml of liquid and room for 2 x 10ml nicotine shots, and a 60ml bottle filled with 50ml of vape juice and room for 1 x 10ml nicotine shot.

What nicotine strength should I use with high PG shortfills?

High PG shortfill bottles are filled to 80% capacity with nicotine free vape juice, leaving room for 1 or two nic shots. This ratio allows you to create a 3mg or 6mg strength e-liquid. What are nic shots? They’re a 10ml bottle of nicotine that you can add to a shortfill bottle. Shop at Vape Superstore and your nic shots will be included for free!

Benefits of using high PG shortfill e-liquids for vaping

Shortfills work out much cheaper than buying their equivalent in separate 10ml bottles. They’re also fuss free as you carry just one bottle instead of lots of little half empty ones.

If you’re not sure about a flavour or you're experimenting with new profiles, buy a 10ml bottle instead. That way it’s less of a financial hit if you end up not liking the flavour. Buying 100mls of something you don’t like is a frustrating waste of money.

Which high PG vape juice is the best value for money?

The Crystalized Series is one of the most cost effective ranges. You can buy 100ml of e-liquid for £11.95 or 2 for £20. Shop the full range of the Crystalized e-liquids.

How to choose the right PG/VG ratio for vaping?

High PG shortfills with a ratio of 50% PG or higher are suitable for low powered vape kits with coil resistances of 0.6ohm to 1.5ohms.

High VG vape juice with a ratio of 60%VG or higher is recommended for use with high powered sub-ohm vape kits that use low resistance coils of 0.15ohm to 0.5ohms.

Is high PG better for flavour or clouds?

Propylene Glycol (PG) is the flavour carrier in e-liquid. It produces a thin amount of vapour and this combination makes it the perfect choice for vapers who want to mimic the same throat feel of smoking, with a discreet amount of vapour on the exhale.

Can I use high PG shortfills in all vape devices?

Because of their thin consistency, high PG shortfills work best in low powered mouth to lung (MTL) pod kits and vape pens like the XROS 4 mini or the Innokin Trine Q. They are not suitable for high powered vape kits, as you will risk burning the coils and will vape through the liquid quickly AND it will be uncomfortable to vape a deep lungfull of high PG e-liquid as the throat hit will be extreme.

Are high PG shortfills better for throat hit?

Absolutely, high PG shortfills are specifically designed to provide a satisfying throat feel. This creates a sensation akin to smoking and helps those looking to quit cigarettes by providing a like-for-like experience.
