**What Are PG and VG?**

- **PG (Propylene Glycol)** : Thin liquid, carries flavor well, provides throat hit
- **VG (Vegetable Glycerin)** : Thick liquid, produces big clouds, naturally sweet

**Common Ratios & Best Uses:**

- **50/50** : Perfect for pod systems and MTL vaping
- **70VG/30PG** : Great for sub-ohm tanks and DTL vaping
- **Max VG** : Best for cloud chasing (may not wick well in pods)

**Why It Matters:**

- Thinner liquids (high PG) work better in small pods
- Thicker liquids (high VG) need more power and airflow
- Your ratio affects both flavor and vapor production

**Quick Tip:** If your device is giving dry hits, try a thinner e-liquid. If you want bigger clouds, go for higher VG.

Matching your e-liquid to your device makes all the difference!
