**VG** and **PG** are abbreviations used for substances found in **e-liquid for electronic cigarettes**. VG stands for Vegetable Glycerin, also known as botanical glycerin. PG is the abbreviation for propylene glycol, which is chemical glycerin. E-liquids typically consist of vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, nicotine, and flavor components. Both PG and VG are non-toxic organic compounds safe for consumption and are commonly used as food additives in various food products like ketchup, soda, ice cream, and salad dressing.
PG-based e-liquids have a thinner consistency, produce less residue, and are more easily absorbed by the cotton in the atomizer. Less residue accumulates around the heating coil with PG-based e-liquids. PG is a tasteless and odorless component, so it doesn't affect the e-liquid's flavor. PG-based liquids provide a stronger throat hit and offer a thinner consistency compared to VG-based liquids.
VG, or vegetable glycerin, is an essential component of e-liquids. This component helps the e-liquid produce dense vapor. VG, which provides a high volume of quality vapor, is thicker than PG and thus is absorbed less by the cotton. VG has a sweet taste that can make flavors less discernible and provides a weaker throat hit compared to PG-based e-liquids.
For electronic cigarette users seeking the best liquid, the ideal e-liquids are those prepared by mixing these two components. PG and VG are mixable components, and when blended in appropriate ratios, they can provide a satisfying vaping experience with good, dense vapor.
