4 Tips How to Pick an E-Liquid

by Martin B. · December 12, 2017

Everyone vapes for a reason; some people do it for pastime, while others vape for enjoyment. Regardless of your reason for vaping, one thing you need to get right is your choice of e-liquid. There is a wide array of e-juice flavors that you can choose from out there, and picking the right one might be quite a challenge. But this should not discourage you from buying the kind of e-liquid you would like to try.

This guide is formulated to help you choose the right e-liquid.

Brand reputation

People starting out on vaping are lured into buying cheap e-liquids. This is something I would not recommend you do if your focus is to attain the ultimate pleasure of vaping. You might escape paying the right price, but this could mean getting ingredients that don’t make up the standard combination. The best way to escape the trap of buying homemade concoctions concealed as e-liquids is to stick to reputable sellers who have reviews from many buyers. Check if the seller’s website has thorough documentation and positive feedback from users before you place your order. For example, see the products listed at LuxeProducts to also pick more accessories that you might need to enhance your vaping experience.

PG/VG ratio

Vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG) are two elements in an e-liquid that contribute to throat hit and cloud production. Juices that contain a high VG amount will have a muted taste while when the PG content is high (over 80%) the liquid might have harshness in its flavor. It is the combination of these elements that leads to the flavors users enjoy most. To achieve the optimal flavor, you should consider having the ratio at 70%PG and 30% VG, or 50/50. But this is not to say you cannot pick any other ratio. Your preferences count more in this case, so when buying you can try out different ratios to see what works best for you.

Try a new flavor

There is also a high chance you have been at once tempted to stick to the same flavor thinking that is the best that exists. Truth is there are many other options out there that you could rely on, the only thing you need is to make sure you try out new e-liquids. Exotic flavors that are uncommon are a good ground to play on if you want to further push your experience in vaping. Chances are you will come across a new flavor that might be a better replacement to what you are currently taking.

Nicotine content

Many vapers mess up on this. The rule of the thumb that you should stick to is to never take nicotine when you don’t need it. Nicotine is an addictive substance and although getting e-liquids with a high amount of nicotine improves throat hit, you might fall into addiction. I advise newcomers to take at most 10mg/ml (if possible avoid getting used to throat hit). Taking high amounts of nicotine might lead to complications, so it’s best you avoid taking e-liquids with high nicotine content.
