An e-liquid, or vape juice as it is more commonly known, is the fluid that goes into your device to be vaporised and inhaled. The liquid is typically made from a combination of vegetable glycerine (VG) and propylene glycol, with a variety of flavourings added. The VG and PG help the liquid heat up correctly, whilst providing desirable properties such as smooth throat hits and rich vapour.

Generally, e-liquids have a ratio of 50:50 VG: PG, however, there are a range of other options available depending on your vaping preferences. For example, starter Vape Jucce are aimed at new vapers and have higher PG levels to create a less viscous liquid. These also have a range of nicotine strengths to cater for different smokers.

Shortfills are another popular choice for regular or advanced vapers. They are designed with the ability to add additional nic shots (as discussed below). This allows you to customise your experience and is particularly helpful for those who enjoy sub ohm devices.

As well as allowing you to adjust your nicotine strength, the addition of nic salts hits a more natural and satisfying nicotine – akin to the sensation felt when smoking traditional cigarettes.

A 2018 study published in Nicotine & Tobacco Research found that when flavourings in e-liquids are heated, they break down to produce chemicals which have been linked to certain types of cancer. The study also found that some of these chemicals could form in the vape itself when used for prolonged periods.
