If you’re new to vaping, you might not be aware that the type of E Juice you use can affect the way your vape tastes.
I made this mistake back in the day too, so don’t worry – it’s an easy one to make.
First, you need to establish whether or not it is the juice or your tank’s coil – it could be a dry hit, for instance.
What’s a dry hit?
Simple: a dry hit on a vape is when you get a burnt taste while vaping.
If this happens you have a burnt atomizer – meaning: it’s not your juice’s fault; it’s the coil!
If it doesn’t taste burnt, but it is still too harsh you have the wrong mix of E Juice inside your tank.
Bottomline: if the E Juice tastes like ass or the E Juice is way too harsh and it makes you cough, then you need to change a few things.
The first is simple…
Make Sure Your E Juice Has Correct PG/VG Ratio
PG and VG (as well as nicotine) are the main constituents that makeup E Juice, alongside flavorings.
PG and VG have different effects on the smoothness of your E Juice. And the differences, once you know them are simple to remember:
✎ High PG = More of A Throaty, Harsh Hit (Best For Pod Mods & MTL Tanks)
✎ High VG = Smoother Hit (Ideal For Sub Ohm Tanks & RDAs)
So… if you’re rocking a standard sub ohm tank, like the UWELL Valyrian, for instance, you’ll want a heavy VG mix – something like 80/20 (VG/PG).
This will ensure the E Juice is super-smooth on the inhale and packed with flavor.
Best Tanks For High VG E Juice
Again, this is pretty simple: if you’re using a tank that is direct-to-lung (DTL) and vapes at high wattages, meaning 99.9% of RDAs, RTAs, and standard sub ohm vape tanks, you’ll want high VG E Juice.
Why’s this?
Simple: it’s smooth and full of flavor.
If you try high PG juice on a dripper or inside an RTA, you’ll end up coughing your guts up.
It’s just too harsh!
This is why high VG juices are more popular than high PG juices – most people use sub ohm vape tanks, RDAs, or RTAs.
OK, So What’s The Point of High PG E Juice Then?
High PG E Juice has a place in the vaping world. And it is very useful when used inside the right tank.
If you’re using higher PG E Juice – say, 50/50 or 60/40 mixes – you’re going to get massive flavor and a really satisfying throat hit.
However, you only EVER want to use this type of juice inside mouth-to-lung vape tanks (MTL) as that’s what higher PG juice is designed for.
MTL tanks are designed to more closely resemble the sensation of smoking; they draw just like a cigarette.
For this reason, high VG juice doesn’t really cut it – you need something that hits your throat.
This is where high PG E Juice comes into its own.
You get tons of flavor and a satisfying MTL throat-hit.
