Eliquid

Eliquids, also known as vape juices or e-juices, are the liquids used in pod kits and vape kits to produce vapour. When you take a draw on your kit, the device’s battery sends electricity to the coil, which then heats and vapourises the e liquid, creating the visible vapour you inhale and exhale. E-liquids are designed to give you a satisfying nicotine hit without the added chemicals from tobacco, making them a popular choice for newbies and ex-smokers. 

Vape juice is made from a blend of Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerine (VG), food flavourings, and usually nicotine, depending on preference. 

The PG is designed for the flavour and throat hit experienced when you vape, while the VG is responsible for the vapour produced. E-liquids typically feature a ratio, with a 50VG/50PG e-liquid offering an even balance of flavour and vapour, while a 70VG/30PG e-juice delivers  a stronger emphasis on vapour than flavour.

At Vapemate, we are proud to offer an extensive range of e-liquids by the world’s most reputable vape brands, including Elf Bar, Lost Mary and IVG. Our selection includes 10ml nicotine salts, freebase e-liquids and nic shots, as well as 40ml-200ml shortfill e-liquids that give you flexibility for a more personalised vape. Available in a wide variety of nicotine strengths and flavours, our vape juices cater to every kind of vaper, working seamlessly with refillable pods, pod kits and vape kits.

With flavours including mouthwatering fruit, icy menthol, smokey tobacco and delicious dessert options, we have countless choices, ensuring there’s a vape liquid for every vaper.

E-liquids come in a range of different types, strengths, PG/VG ratios and purposes, allowing vapers to choose an option that meets their preference. The most commonly used e-liquids are nicotine salts, freebase e-liquids and nic shots. Here is a breakdown of each type to help you decide what’s right for you and your device:

Nic salt e-liquids are made with chemical nicotine taken from tobacco leaves, and are typically modified with benzoic acid. The nicotine strengths normally vary between 5mg-20mg. Their PG/VG  ratios are most commonly 50VG/50PG and 60PG/40VG, creating a mouth-to-lung (MTL) or restricted-direct-to-lung (RDTL) experience.

Recommended for: New vapers and those who like a quick nicotine hit and a smooth throat sensation in their draw.

This is the most traditional form of nicotine, and delivers the strongest throat hit. These e-juices provide slower craving relief than nic salts, and typically come in 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 12mg and 18mg nicotine strengths. The most common VG/PG ratios are 50VG/50PG, working best with MTL pod kits, and 70VG/30PG, which are ideal for sub-ohm vaping.

Recommended for: Vapers who enjoy a stronger throat hit, and ex-tobacco smokers seeking a familiar feel. Also good for vapers using more advanced kits.

These e-juices are typically available in 50ml-200ml bottles and come under-filled, leaving enough space for a 10ml nic shot if desired. The shortfills allow for customised strength and flavour for a more personalised and convenient vape.

Recommended for: Vapers looking to create their own desired e-liquid. Also ideal for those seeking a long-term cost-effective option.

A mixed blend of nicotine salt and freebase e-liquid. These vape juices combine the quick nicotine hit of nic salts with the familiar throat sensation of freebase e-juices. The perfect choice for vapers seeking the best of both worlds.

Recommended for: Vapers seeking the quick nicotine hit of nic salts, while enjoying the strong throat sensation from freebase e-liquids.

These 10ml nicotine boosters are designed to be added to shortfill e-liquids to increase their nicotine content. The e liquid is usually flavourless and comes with an 18mg nicotine strength. 

Recommended for: Vapers using shortfill e-liquids and looking to add a nicotine boost to their vape juice.

These e-liquids typically come in 60ml bottles containing 20ml-30ml of flavour concentrate. This leaves enough space to add a VG/PG base mix and 10ml nic shot. Unlike shortfills, these vape juices leave more room for creativity, letting you design your e-liquid from scratch for a truly personalised experience.

Recommended for: DIY vapers seeking highly customisable e-liquids, while looking to save costs in the long-term.

For the most secure vaping experience, UK e-liquids are highly regulated and feature just a small number of primary ingredients. Each component plays its own role, keeping the e-liquid smooth, flavourful and safe. Here is a breakdown of the main ingredients used, keeping our e-liquids at their best quality:

A thick, slightly sweet base ingredient that creates the dense vapour clouds that many sub ohm vapers love. High VG vape liquids are smoother on the inhale and perfect for producing big clouds.

A thin, clear liquid that carries flavour and delivers that satisfying throat hit similar to smoking. Higher PG e liquids or vape juices provide stronger flavour and are ideal for mouth to lung (MTL) vaping styles.

Every vape juice or e-liquid gets its taste from carefully blended, food-grade flavour concentrates. These create everything from sweet fruits and creamy dessert choices to crisp menthol and classic tobacco flavours.

Most vape juices come with a choice of nicotine strength, ranging from 0mg (nicotine free) to 20mg. Available as freebase nicotine for a stronger hit or nicotine salts for a smoother inhale and faster absorption.

Sometimes added in small amounts to thin thicker vape liquids, improving wicking and flow — especially in higher VG e-liquids or smaller coil systems. It helps maintain consistent performance and flavour delivery.

E-juices are available in a wide selection of nicotine strengths, catering to light, moderate and heavier vapers. Different e-liquid types feature their own nicotine strengths, with nic salts ranging between 5mg-20mg and freebase e-liquids ranging between 0mg-18mg. As a general guide:

These e-liquids are nicotine-free, and ideal for vapers or smokers looking to give up nicotine altogether. Available in 10ml or shortfill e-liquids, 0mg vape juices let you enjoy rich flavour and smooth vapour without the added nicotine hit.

Perfect for vapers seeking a lighter nicotine intake. These e-liquids are available for both MTL and sub-ohm vapers and are ideal for vapers looking to reduce their nicotine while still enjoying satisfying craving relief.

Ideal for moderate vapers and those seeking a balanced vape. Available as freebase e-liquids, these medium-strength e-juices typically work best with MTL pod kits and deliver a vape that’s flavourful and provides a satisfying throat hit.

Best suited for vapers seeking the strongest nicotine hit. These e-liquids work well with low-powered MTL pod kits and provide maximum nicotine impact.

The VG/PG ratio essentially dictates the balance between flavour and vapour used in your vape. For beginners and flavour enthusiasts, 50VG/50PG e-liquids are the most commonly used as they offer an even blend of flavour and vapour, while working reliably in most starter devices and other MTL pod kits. 

Best suited for beginners. The 50VG/50PG ratio produces a comfortable balance of flavour and vapour, while the 60PG/40VG places a greater emphasis on flavour. Both work seamlessly with most starter pod kits.

A beginner-friendly e-liquid ratio. These e-liquids deliver a slight emphasis on vapour, while maintaining rich flavour. The e-liquids are versatile and work seamlessly in both MTL and sub-ohm vape kits.

Ideal for more experienced vapers. These are typically thicker than more balanced e-liquids, and should be paired with sub-ohm vape kits containing coils less than 1.0ohm. This is to ensure that the e-liquid can be vapourised, saving the risk of clogging up the coil, leading to poor performance.

When deciding on your e-liquid, it’s important to understand both your personal requirements and your kit’s compatibility. Not every vape liquid will work with every kit and vice versa. High nicotine e-liquids usually work best with lower-powered MTL pod kits as these produce a smaller amount of vapour, lowering chances of excessive nicotine. 

In contrast, e-liquids with lower nicotine content are more ideal for sub-ohm vape kits as these are more powerful, producing a higher amount of vapour.

Mouth-To-Lung kits perform best with 50VG/50PG or lower VG nic salts or other e-juices as the coil is designed for thinner liquids, and produces a discreet mouth-to-lung draw.

Ideal for lower nicotine e-liquids with a higher vapour output (70VG/30PG). Sub-ohm kits produce thicker clouds and are best suited to experienced vapers and those who enjoy loose vapour in their puff.

These versatile kits use coils that cater to vapers across the spectrum, ranging from traditional mouth-to-lung to direct-to-lung vapers. These work well with 50VG/50PG, 60VG/40PG and many 70VG/30PG e-liquids.
