E-Liquids

To answer this, it's important to consider why you have first started to vape in the first place, as well as what device you are using. If you're using a low powered device such as a pod kit or vape pen, it's best to use thinner, 50/50 vape juice or a nic salt. This is because different vape kits are designed to be used with certain types of e-liquids. However, if nicotine is not your main concern but creating big, thick clouds of vapour is then opt for a higher VG e-liquid.

In short, nothing. Vape juice, e-juice and e-liquid are all names referring to the same thing. The 'e' stands for electronic, as these juices are designed for electronic cigarettes.

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 e-liquid is mixed, but generally speaking, these ratios will fit into one of three categories For a more in-depth explanation, visit our blog on VG and PG ratios explained.

Vape juices are comprised of four main ingredients, but with the addition of nicotine, this number rises to five. These are the common food additives propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG), food-grade flavourings, water, and in many cases, nicotine.

Unlike conventional cigarettes, e-liquids do not contain tobacco or other hazardous chemicals such as carbon monoxide and tar, making them a much safer alternative method of nicotine intake.

TPD (Tobacco Products Directive) compliant e-liquid refers to e-liquid that conforms to the regulations set by the European Union under the TPD. The TPD is a directive that regulates the manufacture, presentation, and sale of tobacco and related products, including vape kits and e-liquids, across the EU.

These regulations include limiting all bottles of e-liquid containing nicotine to a size of 10ml and all nicotine based vape liquids to a maximum of 20mg. Get the full lowdown on TPD regulations to learn more about how this impacts the way these products are made and sold.

No, e-liquid should not be consumed in any instance. Despite containing food-grade ingredients, e-liquid bottles are not safe to drink as they contain ingredients such as nicotine and many flavours that are specifically made to be vaped.

If you are a transitioning smoker, it is essential to use the right type of e-liquid to keep your cravings at bay. We recommend using a nic salt or 50/50 e-liquid as these juices have higher concentrations of nicotine in them.

When you supply power to your device by inhaling or pressing your fire button, your coil heats up. As thewicking materialthat surrounds your coil will be saturated in e-liquid, when the coil heats up, this juice will be converted into vapour. This vapour will travel up through your clearomizer and out of your drip tip, where you will inhale it!

Yes, vape juice does expire. However, it can take quite some time before this happens as vape juice often has a shelf life of roughly two years. This is in the case that the bottle remains sealed, as its shelf life will reduce once opened. Learninghow to store vape liquidproperly can help to ensure that it stays fresh and in good condition for as long as possible. 

All of the e-liquids that we provide on this site are TPD-compliant; they are made from quality-assured ingredients and contain no banned components such as diacetyl.

All vape juice bottles such as nic salts and shortfills all use child proof caps. Using dry hands, push down firmly on the lid of the bottle and twist the lid counter-clockwise. Then, unscrew the bottle and the lid should come off. If you find the lid is not coming when trying to unscrew it, try to apply a little more pressure on the lid before unscrewing.

For the vapers who want to add nicotine shots to their shortfills, you'll need to remove the nib cap in order to be able to mix the shot. However, these can be very tough to get off with your fingers alone so it's helpful to use a shortfill cap removal tool.
