E-liquid, also known as vape juice, is the liquid used in electronic cigarettes and personal vaporisers. It typically contains four main ingredients:
The vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol form the base that allows the flavourings and nicotine to be vaporized and inhaled. The ratio of VG to PG can vary, resulting in different vapour production and throat hits. Overall, e-liquid gives electronic cigarette users the experience of inhaling vapour with a similar feel to smoking traditional cigarettes.
E-liquid, also known as vape juice, is a liquid solution that’s used in vaporisers and e-cigarettes. It usually contains a combination of propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycerin, flavourings, and often nicotine.
The e-liquid is contained in a cartridge or tank within the vaporiser. When the user inhales through the mouthpiece of the e-cigarette, a sensor triggers a heating element that heats the e-liquid solution. This turns the liquid into an inhalable vapour that the user inhales.
The vapour delivers a flavour and sensation similar to smoking, without burning tobacco. This provides an experience that many find to be an appealing alternative to traditional cigarettes. The vapour quickly dissolves into the air and does not create second-hand smoke.
E-liquid comes in an enormous variety of flavours, with over 7,000 flavours estimated to be on the market. There are flavours based on desserts, candies, fruits, beverages, tobacco, menthol, and many more options. This wide range gives vapers the freedom to customize their vaping experience to their taste preferences.
Some of the most popular e-liquid flavour categories include:
With so many options, vapers can explore and identify the flavours that satisfy their preferences best. The wide variety caters to different tastes while also keeping the vaping experience novel and enjoyable.
E-liquids contain varying levels of nicotine which allows vapers to customise their experience. The most common nicotine levels found in e-liquids are 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 12mg, and 18mg per mL of e-liquid.
0mg contains no nicotine and is intended for those who want to vape without any nicotine intake. 3mg and 6mg are considered low levels that produce a gentle nicotine experience. 12mg provides a moderate nicotine kick and is comparable to a light cigarette. 18mg hits a stronger throat and is similar to a regular cigarette. 20mg are less common and preferred by heavy smokers.
The nicotine level chosen depends on personal preference and habits. Typically, heavier smokers who just switched to vaping opt for higher nicotine levels. As they transition off cigarettes, they can gradually step down the nicotine content over time. Lighter or social smokers often prefer lower nicotine levels. Non-smokers who just enjoy vaping with zero nicotine can opt for the 0mg juices. Having a range gives vapers flexibility to find the right nicotine satisfaction.
Making your e-liquid at home has become a popular hobby for many vapers. This is known as DIY e-juice or DIY vape juice. There are several benefits to making your e-liquids:
Getting started with DIY e-juice requires some basic supplies:
The general process involves calculating percentages, mixing PG/VG base with nicotine, adding flavour concentrates, and allowing time for steeping. With some practice, you can be making delicious e-liquids to enjoy and share. Just be sure to educate yourself on proper handling and mixing. Making your own opens up a whole new world of possibilities for inventing the ideal vape.
E-liquid should be stored properly to maintain its quality and safety. The shelf life of e-liquid depends on several factors. With proper storage, most e-liquid has a shelf life of around 1-2 years before it starts to degrade in quality and taste.
There are a few key storage tips for e-liquids:
Following proper storage conditions like these will help maximise the shelf life, safety and flavour of your e-liquid. Pay close attention to heat and light exposure, tightly sealed bottles, and contamination. With the right storage, most quality e-liquids can remain usable for 1-2 years or more.

E-liquid has seen massive growth and popularity over the past decade, but what does the future hold for vaping liquids?
There is continued innovation in the variety and delivery of e-liquids. More exotic and complex flavours are being devised using new chemical formulations, blending botanical extracts with conventionally synthesised aroma compounds. The rise of pod vapes and nicotine salts has led manufacturers like us to tailor e-liquids specifically for these devices. Newer vaporisers feature improved temperature control, enhancing flavour delivery. E-liquid nic salts recently gained popularity by extracting more nicotine using acids, reducing harshness.
Looking ahead, for your vaping journey we will likely develop e-liquids that pair with emerging vape technologies for smoother and more customisable vaping experiences.
