What’s Inside Your Vape Juice? The Ingredients Explained

What’s in Your Vape Juice? The Ingredients Explained

One of the first things that many will ask is simply: what’s in vape juice? Be it disposables or the use of refillable devices, even the smallest amount of e-liquid will remain a huge part of how well it produces flavour and vapor, and every user will experience the device in a similar way! While brands will each have unique formulas some ingredients make up 99% of the juice. Use this knowledge to help you choose your juice!

Here’s a close up look at most of what you’ll see in the bottle and pod!

1. Propylene Glycol (PG)

Short for Propylene Glycol, or “PG”, and is one of the main ingredients you’ll find in many vape juices.

This colourless, clear, viscous liquid, takes part in carrying flavour but also providing some of the “throat hit” many adult smokers will be familiar with from cigarette smoke.

Because PG is thinner than the base liquids it helps the e-liquid to be sipped into the coil and wick of the device.For disposable vape devices, PG is often mixed with the other ingredients for a smooth vapor and satisfying flavour. VG content: The higher the VG content the denser vapor clouds you can exhale.Mesh Coils: Many modern disposable vapes use mesh coil technology that is particularly good with VG based liquids, helping to produce smooth vapour and flavourful clouds.

Flavourings: Flavourings are everything that makes a vape off a particular taste. Mint, tobacco tastes, or fruity blends like mango ice and blueberry ice, watermelon, mixed berry, etc. Most flavous in vape liquids are food grade flavouring concentrates widely used in other things, and vape brands mix and match flavouring ingredients to produce particular flavours. The quality of the flavour in e-liquid often comes down to more than the ingredients you choose — for example mesh coil disposable vapes tend to deliver a more consistent flavour throughout the life of the disposable, compared to other types of disposable vapes.

Nicotine (Optional): Not every vape liquid has a nicotine option — but many products aimed at adult smokers do! Products can vary enormously from very low to the highest nicotine strengths, and one of the really nice things about vape products is that there are so many strengths available that adult users can select what suits them at the time.

Why Quality of Ingredients Keep Mattering: The basic ingredients of a vape juice are really quite simple — but, as you might suspect from so many other products in life quality control and product development goes a long way towards their overall effect. Responsible vape brands put attention into sustainable sourcing of ingredients, “stable” eLiquid formulas, and device compatibility. Everything from coil design to battery output, and airflow affect how any eLiquid performs in goes into an e-cigarette or disposable vape device, which is why modern disposable vapes combine features like mesh coils, and bigger eLiquid volumes, and rechargeable batteries for a smoother vape and a longer lasting flavour.

Final thoughts: It can sound like a lot to swallow at first, but vape juice is really only built around four main ingredients: propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavourings and optional nicotine. For us adult users exploring disposable vape devices this information can take us a long way to understanding how to compare products, choose flavours we like, and pick out a device match to our daily habits. As the vaping industry continues to evolve expect devices like disposable vapes to begin offering new features, unique eLiquid and flavouring technologies, and longer lasting disposables!
