PG/VG Ratios, E-liquid Types and Nicotine Strength

The flavour experience can be influenced by the e-liquid's base composition — specifically, the Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG) ratio. PG typically carries flavour more effectively and provides a stronger throat hit, making high-PG e-liquids a good choice for those who enjoy intense flavours and a sensation similar to smoking – such as you would expect from Menthol, Candy, and Tobacco flavours.

A higher presence of VG, on the other hand, produces denser vapour and a smoother hit, ideal for those who prefer producing large clouds and a milder throat experience; ideal for richer, softer flavours like fruits, desserts, and cereal flavours.

Additionally, the nicotine strength can alter the flavour's character, with higher nicotine levels (e.g. 10, 12, 16, 20mg) offering a more potent taste profile.

Understanding the different types of e liquid available can help you make informed decisions when selecting your favourite flavours, ensuring you get the most enjoyment out of your vaping experience.

Selecting the Perfect Vape Kit

vaping begins with the essential step of choosing the right vape device to enhance your experience. For newcomers, we highly recommend a user-friendly, low-powered starter kit or pod kit, perfectly suited for a broad spectrum of e-liquids from classic high-PG to balanced 50/50 mixes and smooth nicotine salts. These kits are designed for versatility, allowing you to explore a variety of flavourful profiles at lower power outputs, ensuring a satisfying vape experience from the first puff.

As your journey evolves, exploring advanced sub-ohm kits might pique your interest, especially for those craving denser clouds and richer flavours provided by Sub Ohm High VG E-liquids such as those found in Shortfill E liquid. Yet, when it comes to simplicity and adaptability, a pod kit is often the most versatile choice for beginners, offering a seamless, user-friendly way to experience your ideal vape flavours.

Whether you're drawn to the frosty thrill of menthol flavours, the juicy burst of fruit flavours, or the comforting sweetness of dessert varieties, finding your vape nirvana often starts with the choosing the right kit.

Ideal E-liquids for New Vapers: A Quick Guide

Starter kits are typically best paired with e-liquids that feature a higher ratio of PG (propylene glycol) to VG (vegetable glycerin), or a balanced mix found in 50/50 e-liquids. High-PG liquids, often referred to as classic or starter e-liquids, are ideal for those transitioning from smoking to vaping, offering a familiar throat hit without producing excessive vapour, making them perfect for low-powered devices.

Nicotine salts are another excellent option for new vapers using pod kits, offering a higher nicotine content with a smoother throat experience, thanks to their low-PH formula. This makes them perfect for those seeking fast-acting nicotine relief without the harshness of traditional high-strength freebase liquids and are often considered the best vape juice for beginners due to their more immediate form of nicotine relief.

For those curious about exploring the dense clouds and deep flavours of sub-ohm vaping, High-VG e-liquids are your perfect gateway. Suitable for high-powered devices, these thicker liquids come in larger volumes like 50ml or 100ml shortfills, allowing for nicotine customization with nic shots to suit your preference.

Swapping smoking cigarettes for vaping is easily one of the best decisions you can make for your health, finances and all-round wellbeing. But did you know that it can also be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding choices you can make, opening up a whole new world of flavour while still delivering all the satisfaction and relief from cravings that you used to receive from traditional tobacco?

That said, the only drawback to vaping liquids might be the sheer stupefying variety of e-liquid flavours available to vapers. At Vapestore, we stock literally thousands of different flavours of e-liquid! That wealth of flavour possibilities is one of the reasons vaping has become such a successful aid to stop smoking, but when you’re just starting your vaping journey, choosing an e-liquid flavour to help you make the transition as enjoyable as possible is crucial to your long-term success.

At Vapestore, we’ve been in the e-liquid business for long enough to know just what flavours new vapers have found the most success with, be they familiar and friendly tobacco and menthol flavours or mouth-watering fruits and desserts, all from the best vape liquid brands

So if you’re wondering which flavour that's right for you – then you’re in the right place as we walk you through the Ten Best E-Liquid Flavours for Beginners that either want to or have recently stopped smoking.

What’s the right Vape Kit to help you?

Before we dive into the flavours, however, let’s look at choosing the right vape device to make sure you get the best out of your chosen e-liquids.

For many new vapers, we recommend choosing a low-powered vape starter kit. Without going too deeply into the subject of coil resistances, many starter vape kits have a lower power output measured in watts, and coils that have a higher – plus 1 ohm – electrical resistance. This makes them the most versatile kits for exploring classic high-PG eliquids as well as 50/50 and nicotine salt e-juices which perform best at lower power outputs.

More advanced vape kits employ low-resistance, ‘sub-ohm’ coils and fire at much higher wattages. Sub-ohm vaping is usually enjoyed by more experienced vapers who enjoy the advanced features of powerful vaping mods and the huge clouds such devices produce. These kits are ideal for use with High-VG e-liquids.

When you want to make sure you’re using the right coil with the right vaping device, simply head over to our easy-to-use coil finder. So, when you’re just beginning your vaping journey, we think you’ll enjoy the simple satisfaction offered by a starter kit, which has the versatility to let you experiment with a range of e-liquids until you find a juice that’s just right for you. So what types of e-liquid are available?
