What Are 50/50 E-Liquids?
50/50 e-liquids are vape juices formulated with a perfectly balanced ratio of 50% VG (vegetable glycerin) and 50% PG (propylene glycol). This balanced composition delivers the best of both ingredients: the smooth vapour production of VG combined with the strong flavour delivery and throat hit of PG.
Why the 50/50 Ratio Matters
The 50/50 ratio has become the gold standard for MTL vaping because it offers several key advantages:
- Wicks faster in smaller coils
- Prevents dry hits in pod systems
- Works perfectly with high-resistance coils
- No leaking or flooding issues
- PG carries flavour more effectively than VG
- Delivers crisp, clean taste profiles
- Brings out subtle flavour notes
- Provides consistent flavour throughout each puff
- PG creates the classic throat sensation
- Mimics the feeling of smoking
- Perfect for ex-smokers
- Adjustable with nicotine strength
- Vapourises efficiently at 10W to 20W
- Extends battery life significantly
- Produces moderate vapour clouds
- Ideal for discreet vaping
