This year is already flying by! To think that it's already time to review the best vape juice flavors of 2021! If you're in the market to find a new favorite juice, then this article will be exactly what you need. We'll review some of our favorite juices, and we'll also talk about how to get an idea of how a juice may vape before you even buy it!
What Is in Vape Juice?
Understanding the general composition of vape juice will help you pick winners on the first purchase. While some flavors just need to be experienced to fully understand, there are traits that you can look for to understand how a vape juice will feel (or even taste) before ever loading it into a vape!Propylene Glycol
Propylene glycol (commonly abbreviated to PG), is one of the two foundational ingredients in nearly all vape juice blends. It's alcohol (no, not the intoxicating kind) and the FDA has labeled it as "generally safe" Currently, there is no research to indicate that vaping juices with PG has any detrimental health effect.So what does PG do? It is an excellent delivery mechanism for flavor! While it is common in most vape juices, it is a favorite in tobacco flavors. This is because PG provides the "throat hit" that mimics the feel of smoke (or so former smokers say!) PG is a common ingredient in salt nicotine blends for this reason, too.
Vegetable Glycerin
Vegetable Glycerin (commonly abbreviated as VG) is another alcohol that is a very common ingredient in vape juices (as well as a variety of food products). Unlike PG (which is completely flavorless), VG has a sweetness to it. It also is much smoother than PG and makes super thick vapor clouds, making it a popular choice among sub-ohm vaping enthusiasts.The smooth, sweet vapor produced by VG is often blended with freebase nicotine (the optimal nicotine type for sub-ohm vaping). In most vape juice, PG and VG are mixed at varying ratios to produce different vaping experiences. A higher PG ratio will vaporize more easily and will feel great to past smokers. A higher VG ratio will require more power to vaporize, but the vapor produced will be pleasantly thick and full of flavor.
