In 2014, the journal Tobacco Control found 7,700 e-liquid flavors on the market. By 2017, this number had grown to 20,000 e-liquids and 250 unique flavor descriptions in the Dutch market alone. With the rising popularity of vaping, the number of available e-liquids has increased even more by 2022.
With so many options, choosing the right vape juice can be overwhelming. This guide will help you find the perfect e-liquid by considering flavor preferences, PG/VG ratios, nicotine strength, and preferred manufacturers. Follow these steps to simplify your choice and enjoy your vaping experience.
A key factor in choosing the right vape juice is understanding your vaping device. Different devices have specific requirements and capabilities, which impact the type of vape juice that will provide the best experience. Knowing your device’s characteristics is essential for a satisfying vape.

Device compatibility is crucial when choosing vape juice. Different devices work best with specific types of vape juices. For instance, pod systems with high resistance coils are suited for high nicotine content, while sub-ohm tanks, which produce larger clouds, require lower nicotine concentrations to prevent harsh throat hits.
PG/VG ratio
The PG to VG ratio in vape juice greatly affects your vaping experience. High PG ratios offer a stronger throat hit and more intense flavors, ideal for low-power devices. High VG ratios are preferred by cloud-chasers for their smoothness and large vapor production, typically needing more powerful devices
Coil resistance
The coil resistance in your vaping device impacts how it heats the vape juice. High-resistance coils (above 1.0 Ω) are best with thinner vape juices, while low-resistance coils (sub-ohm, below 1.0 Ω) work better with thicker, high VG juices.
Wattage range
For devices with adjustable wattage, it’s important to stay within the recommended wattage range for your coil. Using higher wattages can burn the vape juice, causing an unpleasant taste. Keeping the wattage within the suggested range ensures a smooth and flavorful vaping experience
Temperature control
Advanced devices with temperature control need compatible vape juices. These temperature-sensitive juices prevent dry hits and burnt tastes by regulating coil temperature.
Types Of Vape Juices
To choose the right vape juice, it’s important to know the different types available. Vape juices mainly consist of Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG), along with flavorings and optional nicotine. These components shape your overall vaping experience.

Propylene Glycol (PG)
Throat hit
Vape juices with higher PG content provide a stronger throat hit, similar to smoking traditional cigarettes, making them appealing to those transitioning from smoking.
Flavour intensity
Higher PG ratios in vape juice enhance flavor delivery, making them ideal for flavor enthusiasts due to more pronounced and vibrant flavors.
Vapour production
PG vape juices produce less vapor than VG, making them ideal for discreet vaping and those who prefer smaller clouds.
Vegetable Glycerin (VG)
Smoothness
VG provides a smoother inhale and exhale, with less emphasis on the throat hit. This can be ideal for vapers who prioritise a gentle vaping experience
Vapour clouds
Vape juices with high VG content create dense vapor clouds, favored by cloud-chasers and vapers who enjoy impressive visual effects.
Slight sweetness
VG adds a subtle natural sweetness that affects the overall taste of the vape juice.
PG/VG Blends
Customisation
Vape juices offer different PG/VG ratios for customization. A 50/50 blend balances throat hit with vapor production.
Allergic reactions
Vapers sensitive to higher PG ratios may experience throat irritation or allergies. Increasing VG in the blend can help alleviate these issues.
Nicotine type
The next thing to consider is what type of nicotine you want in your vape juice. There are three main types of e-liquid you can buy:
- Freebase nicotine e-liquids: these contain freebase nicotine (the same type of nicotine as in cigarettes) and provide a noticeable throat hit
- Nic salts: these use a new form of nicotine that has been created to provide a smoother throat hit and faster nicotine absorption
- Shortfills: these are nicotine-free e-liquids that can be mixed with a shot of nicotine (sold separately) to achieve your desired nicotine strength, or vaped nicotine-free
At Dr Vapes, we provide many of our vape juice flavours in all three forms, so you can easily find the type suited to your vaping style.
Nicotine strength
Choosing the right nicotine strength in vape liquid is crucial. For sub-ohm vapers preferring no throat hit or nicotine, nicotine-free shortfills are ideal. Heavy smokers reducing nicotine may start with 20mg nic salt and decrease to 10mg, adjusting to find the perfect strength.
CONCLUSION
In vaping, there’s no need to stick to just one favorite e-liquid flavor. The excitement comes from trying a variety of flavors with unique profiles.
