All Things E-Liquid

There are many vaping terms related to e-liquid, e-juice or vape liquid, from the several mix ratios to the different components of e-liquid used by vapers in their devices. Here goes –

• PG – Propylene Glycol – one of the main ingredients of e-liquid.
• VG – Vegetable Glycerin – also one of the components of vape juice.
• Salt nic – a newer form of nicotine used in e-liquid.
