It can be confusing if you have just purchased your first vape kit (or are about to) and are searching for the right e-liquid or vape juice. We are here to help.

What are the differences between e-liquid and vape juice?

When we refer to e-liquid and vape juice, we are talking about the same thing. E-Liquid (also known as vape juice) is made up of three (and often four) ingredients. Propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), flavouring, and nicotine (which is optional).

PG is an odourless liquid that carries the taste and provides the “throat hit” sensation that you would get from cigarettes. Since it is thinner than VG, it is easier to vapourise. VG is a thick, sweet liquid that helps you produce more vapour while making the inhale smoother.

Flavouring varies greatly. Of course, it aims to provide a pleasurable vaping experience. They range from, berry fruits to, cake and coffee, and beyond.

If you are only interested in vaping for the sake of it, e-liquid is typically sold without nicotine, but most people who are switching from smoking to vaping tend to want nicotine. Nicotine is added to the desired strength by the vaper through add-on products such as nic salts and nic shots.

What are the benefits of e-liquid and vape juice?

Many people are unaware, however, that vaping with e-liquids or vape juice can safely assist you in quitting cigarettes. There are many advantages of using e-cigarettes to stop smoking and listed below are just a few that you can anticipate when you make the switch!

What nicotine strength should I choose?

The answer to that depends entirely on your previous smoking habit. E-liquid and vape juice are available in different intensities, see below:

Social smokers (those who indulge 1 – 2 times a week) can choose a low-nicotine hit at 3mg. If you want to enjoy the sensation of vaping without having to satisfy a craving, you can get 0mg (i.e., without nicotine).
6mg would be appropriate for a lighter smoker who smokes fewer than 10 cigarettes per day. So, it is best for those who like to vape but need a kick.
An average person who smokes a pack of cigarettes per day should start with a 12mg e-liquid. This is an excellent start for the transition starting point from the level of nicotine you would get from real cigarettes.
Finally, for heavy smokers (more than a pack per day), the max strength of 18mg – 24mg is recommended. This is currently addicted smokers who need a higher dose to feel satisfied. Although, it is important to be aware that the legal limit for vaping in the UK is 20mg
