Hey vape fam! Let’s break down the core components of e-liquid: **Propylene Glycol (PG)** and **Vegetable Glycerin (VG)**. Knowing the difference can help you choose the perfect juice for your style!

**PG (Propylene Glycol)**

- Thin consistency, carries flavor well
- Provides that satisfying “throat hit”
- Produces less visible vapor
- Best for pod systems and MTL vaping

**VG (Vegetable Glycerin)**

- Thick, sweet base liquid
- Creates dense, massive clouds
- Smoother on the throat
- Ideal for sub-ohm devices and DL vaping

**Common Ratios & Their Uses:**

- 50/50: Perfect for most pod systems
- 70/30 (VG/PG): Great for sub-ohm tanks
- Max VG: Cloud chasing champion!

**Quick Tips:**

- High PG users: Watch for potential dehydration
- High VG fans: Prime your coils well - thicker liquid wicks slower

What’s your preferred ratio and why? Share your experiences below! 👇
