Jun 26, 2022

Electronic cigarette oil is an indispensable part of the use of electronic cigarettes. Many friends may know that the main part of electronic cigarettes is the mixture of VG and PG according to a certain proportion, but how many friends are more interested in these two things. understand? In order to let everyone better understand VG and PG, the e-liquid website has compiled some relatively simple and easy-to-understand content for everyone, hoping to be helpful to everyone.

Let you know more about e-liquid The difference between VG and PG in e-liquid first let's talk about VG, VG is the abbreviation of vegetable glycerin in English. Since VG is extracted from plants, many e-cigarette users agree that e-liquids with more VG are healthier. VG is viscous and has a large specific gravity, so it produces a large amount of smoke, so some people who smoke a lot of smoke like to add a lot of VG to their mixed e-liquids. People who like VG find it comfortable to pump their throats, but some people don't. VG produces less irritation and allergy than PG, but some users report that it produces phlegm in the throat.

In fact, VG is sweet, and some users think that this is very good, and there is no need to add sweeteners to sweet-flavored e-liquids. The sweetness of VG is not from the sweetener or sugar in the flavor, but from the taste of VG itself, which is better. However, some users feel that the sweetness of VG is too much, overshadowing the taste of the e-liquid itself, so sometimes the addition of VG is constantly adjusted according to their own personal taste.

Let me talk about PG again. PG is the abbreviation of propylene glycol in English. PG is produced by the hydration of propylene oxide. PG is much thinner than VG and produces much less smoke. However, PG will have a strong throat tingling feeling, to achieve a feeling of imitating smoking, so many users like this feeling. PG has been recognized as a safe food additive by FDA (FDA is the abbreviation of Food and Drug Administration). However, from the reactions of e-cigarette users, some users experienced adverse reactions such as allergies after using e-liquids containing PG. Allergies can be large or small, with mild throat discomfort, severe itching, accompanied by symptoms of dizziness and nausea. If there is an allergic reaction, it is best for such players to choose e-liquids with more VG content.
