How to choose the best e-liquid?

Short fill E-liquid

In the vaping community there is more to just nicotine. Choosing from a wide range of flavours, nicotine levels and different types of vape liquid can sometimes be an overwhelming situation especially if you are a newbie in this community. So where do you start? You should first conduct research of what you will be comfortable with before settling on anything. For some, they have the e-cig but the bottle of e-liquid that came with it is empty and they don’t know what to do. The following are guidelines to follow when choosing the best vape liquid in theUK.

Flavour first

This is the first thing to consider when buying an e-liquid. This is because even if you have all other variables like PV or VG, nicotine strength and vapour production in-check and it happens you don’t like the flavour that means that the e-liquid is useless.  There all type of flavours that you would think of in the market, ranging from food, tobacco blends, fruits, and cocktails. When it comes to selecting flavours, consider first those that you are sure you will like then later as time goes by you get to experiment on the rest of the vape liquids available in the UK.

Nicotine levels

After you have settled on which flavour you want to use, determining the nicotine levels is the next thing to consider. They come in various strengths -

·    Low; 6mg and below- for those who consume half or less than a pack per day

·    Medium; 9mg to 16 mg- for one or half a pack per day

·    High; 18mg to 36 mg- for heavy chain smokers

Understanding your nicotine levels is important because when you take too little it means you get to vape more to compensate and when you take more it will definitely give you a headache. You can also determine the level of nicotine you use by buying short fill e-liquid.

PG and VG

Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerol (VG) or combinations of both are the main solutions in e-liquids. PG gives more flavour but produces the weak vapour while VG is viscous, sweet taste and massive vapour. But the standard ratio of PG/VG is considered to be 40:60.
