What is vegetable glycerin? 

Vegetable glycerin, also known as glycerol, is an organic compound commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. In the context of e-liquids, vegetable glycerin is used as a diluting and vapor-generating agent to provide electronic cigarette users with an optimal vaping experience. 

Properties and characteristics of vegetable glycerin

Vegetable glycerin has several properties that make it ideal for use in e-liquids. Vegetable glycerin can absorb and retain moisture, helping to preserve the freshness of e-liquid flavours over the long term. 

Influence of propylene glycol/vegetable glycerine ratio on the vaping experience

The propylene glycol/vegetable glycerin ratio in an e-liquid is a crucial factor in the vaping experience. E-liquids containing only vegetable glycerin are often preferred for their rich vapor production. However, they can also bring certain disadvantages, such as lower flavour intensity and slower absorption through the atomisers. 

Tips for choosing the right e-liquid based on vegetable glycerin

When choosing an e-liquid containing vegetable glycerine, several factors need to be considered: 

Product quality

Opt for e-liquids made by reputable brands subject to strict quality standards. This guarantees the safety and quality of the ingredients used. 

Equipment compatibility

Make sure your vaping equipment is suitable for vegetable glycerin rich e-liquids, especially in terms of wick absorption capacity and vaporising power. 

Why choose Vuse e-cigarettes?
