Vaping Liquid Bases: Professional PG/VG Guide for a Perfect E-Liquid

If you want to take your mix to the next level, start with the liquid base. It is the main component of the liquid vaper and is made up of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG) in different proportions. The quality and ratio of your neutral base will determine the throat hit, cloud density, coil capillarity, and the actual flavor perception.

What is an e-liquid base and why is it so important?

An e-liquid base is the mixture of PG and VG that acts as a vehicle for flavor and, if desired, for nicotine. Propylene glycol provides fluidity, throat hit, and enhances flavor; vegetable glycerin offers vapor density and a smoother puff. Choosing the right neutral base is not a minor detail: it optimizes consumption, prevents leaks or scorching, and protects your electronic cigarettes by operating within their ideal range.

How to choose the right PG/VG ratio

There is no universal ratio, but there are guidelines that can help you based on your vaping style, resistance, and power:

• 50/50: balance between flavor and vapor. Ideal for pods, MTL, and nicotine in salts or freebase. Very versatile for daily use.
• 60/40 or 70/30 PG/VG: more throat hit and better flavor transport. Perfect for tight puffs and moderate consumption.
• 70/30 or 80/20 VG/PG: designed for DL and powerful devices, prioritizing dense clouds and smooth puffs. Require coils capable of absorbing thicker liquids.
• 100% VG: specific solutions for those allergic to PG or for extreme clouds, with appropriate hardware adjustments.

If you are going to mix with Nicokits, remember that the nicokit also adds PG or VG to the equation. Calculate the final target considering the volume and proportion of the Nicokit to avoid unbalancing your mix.

Bases and compatibility with Shortfill and Longfill

Shortfills come almost ready, with space to add nicotine and slightly adjust viscosity. In contrast, Longfills contain concentrated flavor in a large container and require completion with neutral base and, if desired, nicotine. In both cases, choosing a quality liquid base is crucial for a stable, flavorful result that is gentle on your coils.

Best practices: maceration, safety, and performance

To get the most out of your e-liquid base, follow these professional guidelines:

• Maceration: after adding flavors and Nicokits, shake vigorously and let it rest for 24–72 hours depending on the profile (fruity flavors less, desserts/tobacco more).
• Safety: handle nicotine with gloves, keep out of reach of children, and store in cool, dark places.
• Performance: adjust the PG/VG ratio to your coil. Very dense liquids in narrow cotton can cause dry hits.
• TPD: ensure that the neutral base complies with regulations and that your containers close securely.

Common mistakes when choosing or using bases

The most common mistake is selecting a PG/VG ratio incompatible with the device. Another classic is ignoring the contribution of PG/VG introduced by the Nicokit, altering the final target. Lastly, mixing in a hurry (without macerating) or using liquid bases of low purity affects flavor, dirties the coils, and reduces the lifespan of your equipment.

FAQ about e-liquid bases

What base is best for beginners?

The 50/50 is a safe bet: good flavor, balanced throat hit, and correct performance in most pods and basic kits.

Can I use 70/30 VG/PG base in an MTL pod?

Only if your cartridge absorbs thick liquids well. Generally, for MTL, it is preferable to use 50/50 or higher PG.

How do I calculate the final nicotine when mixing?

Consider total volume, concentration of the Nicokit, and PG/VG ratio of the whole. If starting from Longfill, you will need more neutral base to reach the target volume.

Do bases expire?

Yes. Check the best before date, keep them closed and in a cool/dark place. The VG may thicken in the cold; warm the container if necessary.

Does the base affect the flavor of the aroma?

Absolutely. More PG enhances flavor; more VG softens and adds density. Adjust the percentage to the flavor profile and your device.

Conclusion

Mastering vaping liquid bases is mastering your e-liquid. By choosing a quality PG/VG neutral base and adapting it to your device, you ensure a stable, flavorful, and safe experience. Whether you prefer the balance of 50/50 or the clouds of a 70/30 VG, at Pevgrow you will find the perfect ally for your mixes, along with flavors, Nicokits, Shortfill, and Longfill. Take the step towards a liquid vaper made by and for you, with consistent results puff after puff.
