High VG E-Liquid

What is high VG e-liquid?

“High VG” means a blend where Vegetable Glycerine makes up the majority of the mix (commonly 70% or more). VG is thicker than PG and produces denser vapour, which suits airy, higher-wattage setups. If you want a refresher on how the two components behave, see our guide to VG/PG ratios.

What are the key types?

You’ll mostly encounter high VG in shortfills (nicotine-free with room for shots). Typical options are 70/30 and, for very airy tanks, 80/20. These blends are best with low-resistance coils and generous wicking ports. If you prefer a tighter, cigarette-like draw or smaller devices, a balanced 50/50 may suit better.

What is the best high VG e-liquid?

“Best” depends on your tank and airflow. Look for flavours you enjoy in a ratio your coil can handle. Mesh-coil sub-ohm tanks with wide wicking ports usually excel with 70/30 blends. Explore dedicated sub-ohm tanks.

Choosing the right high VG e-liquid

Match viscosity to your device: thicker liquids pair with larger coils, higher wattage and open airflow. Start with 70/30 for most modern DTL tanks; consider 80/20 only if your coil and wicking can keep up. Keep pulls steady, allow time between puffs, and replace coils when flavour drops.

Best for Clouds

High VG e-liquid shines when you want dense vapour and a smooth, open draw. If you’re browsing flavours, our main vape juice hub helps you compare fruits, desserts and menthols across DTL-friendly blends. Running higher wattage?

A capable mod with consistent power delivery will keep thicker liquids wicking well explore box mods to pair with your tank. Tip: start around the middle of your coil’s wattage range, tweak airflow for comfort, and let the cotton saturate fully after filling.

Thicker 80/20 Tips

Prefer very open airflow and warm vapour? Some advanced tanks and coils can handle thicker 80/20 mixes. Choose kits and tanks made for DTL, and keep an eye on wicking to avoid dry hits.

You can explore a UK brand known for high-VG shortfills to discover bold flavours blended for clouds (The Ace of Vapez). If you’re upgrading hardware, compare our wider selection of vape tanks to find large wicking ports and mesh coils. Prime new coils thoroughly, then take a few gentle draws before ramping up power.

Strengths & Coils

Most DTL vapers use lower nicotine with high VG — often 3mg once shortfills are boosted. If you prefer that lighter hit, browse 3mg e-liquid. Coming from tighter, mouth-to-lung kits? A balanced 50/50 e-liquid range offers similar draw with higher strengths and smaller coils. For DTL, choose mesh or low-resistance coils with wide wicking to suit thicker liquid. Keep e-liquid above the minimum fill line, and adjust airflow to balance flavour, temperature and cloud output.
