E-liquids, also commonly referred to as e-juices, vape juices, or vape liquids, are the flavoured mixes used to provide flavour to your e-cigarettes. This liquid is added to your vape kit's tank or pod, in which the coil is heated, causing the liquid to vaporise to become the vapour that you inhale through your device's drip tip.

Different Types of E Liquids

With a range of liquids including flavours of blackcurrant to menthol, watermelon to aniseed and everything in between, it's clear to see that there are huge disparities in the different flavours of e-juice that you can get your hands on. But it's not only e-liquid flavours that vary widely, so do the different types of vape juices available. Whilst technically, all of the below options fit into the main category of e-liquid, various sizes, nicotine strengths, and ratios are at your disposal as a vaper, meaning that you are completely in control and able to find a vape that suits you best.

Shortfills

Shortfill e-liquids are larger bottles that usually contain either 50ml or 100ml e liquid. The e-liquid bottles themselves will have a volume that is slightly more than the e-liquid that is contained within, so 50ml of e-liquid will be present in a 60ml bottle or 100ml in a 120ml bottle. This under-filling is done intentionally, hence the name "short-fill", but why?

As shortfills are entirely nicotine-free, filling the bottles short offers you an opportunity to control the amount of nicotine you add, using nicotine shots. To comply with TPD regulations, e-cig liquid that contains nicotine cannot be sold in bottles of more than 10ml. However, with a 100ml shortfill, you can have a large amount of e-liquid containing nicotine, providing that you do the mixing yourself. The shortfills that you will find across our range are all high VG juices.

Nic Salts

As the name suggests, nic salts are e-liquids that offer a smother throat hit than the traditional nicotine counterparts. They are often favoured by vapers who have recently quit smoking in part due to their ability to absorb nicotine into the bloodstream quicker than any tradicitonal nicotine, and also because of the smoother throat hit they provide in higher nicotine strengths.

Nic salts are best used with pod kits or any device with a coil resistance of over 1 ohm.

As they can only be sold in 10ml bottles, they are usually a cost-effective e-liquid option, regardless of their nicotine strength. If you are looking for cheap e-liquids, nic salts are your friend!

Prefilled Pods

Prefilled pods are designed for specific pod kits to make things easier. Instead of being refillable, these closed pods come pre-filled with e-liquid, meaning that all you will have to do to use them is click them into the end of your vape and fire away.

Nicotine Shots

Nicotine shots are used to supplement no-nicotine juices for your vape. Most often added to shortfills both to reach a vaper's desired nicotine strength and to maximise on value, these small bottles of 10ml e-liquid help vape users vape in a way that suits them best. 

VG/PG Ratios of Vape Juices

If you’ve ever looked closely at any bottle of e-liquid, you’ll notice a ratio number that denotes the amount of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG) that is present in the liquid.

The two main components of e-liquid, these liquids combine to create the vapour you exhale and the flavour you taste when using your vape. PG is thinner than VG, and it is both odourless and flavourless, whereas VG is thicker and is slightly sweet flavoured. 

As well as creating your clouds and flavour, the combination of these two liquids determines the strength of the throat hit you will experience when using your vape.

As you might guess, certain ratios are better for certain types of kits. Many different ratios can exist depending on how your eliquid is mixed, but generally speaking, these ratios will fit into one of three categories:

50-50 Liquid

50:50 e-liquids contain an equal amount of VG and PG. They are usually used by ex-smokers who would have previously been used to smoking many cigarettes a day, as they offer a moderate throat hit and work well with higher concentrations of nicotine. They produce less vapour, so they are more suited to vapers who prefer a mouth-to-lung vaping style, but they guarantee great flavour with every inhale.    

By being thinner, they can be vaporised by kits with less power, making them an ideal option for pod kits. 

High VG E Liquids

High VG e-liquids are usually around the 70:30 mark, but any juice containing over 60% VG can be considered a high VG e-liquid. They carry flavour well, but their main selling point is that they produce larger amounts of vapour. As such, they are commonly used with sub ohm devices, or any device using a coil with a resistance of under 1 ohm.
