What is a 50/50 e-liquid?

What the VG and PG numbers on an e-liquid bottle mean and which devices a 50/50 blend is made for.

E-liquid is mostly made of two carrier liquids: vegetable glycerine (VG) and propylene glycol (PG). A 50/50 e-liquid contains equal parts of each.

What the numbers mean

VG is the thicker of the two and produces more visible vapour. PG is thinner and carries flavour and the throat sensation. A 70/30 liquid (70% VG) is thicker than a 50/50 liquid.

Which devices it suits

Thinner 50/50 liquids flow more easily into the small wicking openings used in pod kits and mouth-to-lung coils, which is why most pod kit e-liquids are 50/50. High-VG liquids are usually made for higher-power sub-ohm tanks with larger wicking openings.

Always check your device or coil documentation for the VG/PG range the manufacturer recommends. Nicotine is an addictive substance; these products are for adults aged 18 or over.
