Understanding VG/PG Ratios in Tobacco E-Liquids
The VG/PG ratio in your tobacco e-liquid determines vapour production, throat hit, flavour intensity and coil compatibility.
Understanding the difference helps you choose tobacco liquids that match your device and provide the most authentic smoking alternative.
What Is VG (Vegetable Glycerin)?
VG is a thick, smooth liquid responsible for producing vapour clouds. The higher the VG content, the thicker the liquid and the denser the vapour.
Most tobacco shortfills feature varying VG ratios for different vaping styles.
VG characteristics:
- Produces larger vapour clouds
- Smooth, gentle inhale
- Slightly sweet natural taste
- Works best with lower-resistance coils
What Is PG (Propylene Glycol)?
PG is a thinner liquid that carries tobacco flavour more effectively and delivers stronger throat hit similar to smoking.
Higher PG content in tobacco e-liquids provides the most authentic smoking sensation.
PG characteristics:
- Stronger, more pronounced throat hit
- Enhanced tobacco flavour clarity
- Thinner, free-flowing consistency
- Ideal for replicating smoking experience
Common VG/PG Ratios in Tobacco E-Liquids
Different ratios suit different devices and vaping preferences for tobacco flavours.
Here's a breakdown of the most common blends and what they're best for:
50VG/50PG:
Most authentic smoking experience
- Works with pod systems and MTL tanks
- Strong throat hit matching cigarettes
- Best tobacco flavour delivery
Best 50/50 tobacco options:
- Bombo Platinum Tobaccos Nic Salt - Balanced ratio for authentic taste
- Nasty Salt Tobacco - 50/50 format in Gold, Bronze and Silver
- Bar Juice 5000 Cream Tobacco - Optimised 50/50 blend
- Debonair Tobacco - 50/50 shortfill for MTL
60VG/40PG:
- Slightly more vapour than 50/50
- Good balance for tobacco flavours
- Works well in versatile devices
- Moderate throat hit
Best 60VG tobacco option:
- Bombo Platinum Tobaccos Shortfill - 60/40 ratio for balanced vaping
70VG/30PG:
- Enhanced vapour production
- Smooth tobacco delivery
- Best for sub-ohm tanks
- Reduced throat hit
Best high VG tobacco shortfills:
- Cuttwood The Tobacconist - Smooth 70/30 tobacco
How to Choose the Right Ratio for Tobacco E-Liquids
Your choice depends on your device, smoking history and desired experience.
For ex-smokers using pod systems or MTL tanks:
- Choose 50/50 tobacco nic salts like Bombo Platinum Nic Salt, Nasty Salt Tobacco or Bar Juice 5000 Cream Tobacco
For sub-ohm tanks and larger clouds:
- Choose 70/30 tobacco shortfills like Cuttwood The Tobacconist
Matching your tobacco e-liquid to your device ensures the most authentic smoking alternative and satisfying experience overall.
How to Choose the Right Nicotine Strength for Tobacco E-Liquids
Nicotine strength plays a major role in your experience with tobacco e-liquids, affecting throat hit, satisfaction and how successfully you transition from smoking.
Choosing the right level depends on your smoking history, device type and daily cigarette consumption.
Here's a simple breakdown of common nicotine levels and who they're best suited for with tobacco flavours:
0mg (Nicotine-Free):
- For vapers who enjoy tobacco flavour without nicotine
- Former smokers fully transitioned off nicotine
- Social or occasional vaping only
- Available in tobacco shortfills without nic shots
3mg:
- Light nicotine for sub-ohm vaping
- Best for very light smokers (under 5 cigarettes daily)
- Popular with DTL tobacco devices
- Add 1 x 18mg nic shot to tobacco shortfills
6mg:
- Moderate nicotine for sub-ohm tobacco
- Good for light smokers (5-10 cigarettes daily)
- Provides noticeable satisfaction
- Add 2 x 18mg nic shots to tobacco shortfills (please note a 2nd empty bottle would be required as the volume of eliquid is more than the bottle size)
10mg:
- Moderate nicotine for MTL tobacco vaping
- Best for moderate smokers (10-15 cigarettes daily)
- Available in nic salt format
- Smooth delivery without harshness
20mg:
- Strongest legal strength for heavy smokers
- Best for heavy smokers (20+ cigarettes daily)
- Available in nic salt format
- Provides maximum satisfaction quickly
Many ex-smokers need guidance on equivalent tobacco e-liquid strengths.
If you smoked 5-10 cigarettes daily:
- Start with 10mg tobacco nic salts or 3mg tobacco shortfills
If you smoked 10-20 cigarettes daily:
- Start with 10mg-20mg tobacco nic salts or 6mg tobacco shortfills
If you smoked 20+ cigarettes daily:
- Start with 20mg tobacco nic salts
Understanding the difference between these two types helps you pick the right tobacco e-liquid format for your needs.
Freebase Nicotine (in Shortfills):
- Traditional nicotine used in tobacco shortfills
- Stronger throat hit replicating cigarettes
- Best for sub-ohm devices
- Available in 3mg and 6mg strengths
Nicotine Salts:
- Smoother throat hit at higher strengths
- Absorbed faster for quicker satisfaction
- Best for pod systems and MTL tanks
- Available in 10mg and 20mg strengths
Tobacco E-Liquid Storage and Safety Tips
Proper storage keeps your tobacco e-liquids fresh, flavourful and safe to use. Follow these simple guidelines to get the most out of every bottle and maintain authentic tobacco taste.
Heat and sunlight degrade nicotine and tobacco flavour extracts over time, affecting taste quality. Keep your tobacco e-liquid bottles in a cupboard or drawer away from direct light and heat sources.
Exposure to air causes oxidation, which weakens tobacco flavour and changes the colour of your e-liquid. Always close the cap securely after each use to maintain authentic tobacco taste and freshness.
Tobacco e-liquids and nicotine shots should always be stored out of reach. Use childproof caps and keep bottles in secure locations at all times, especially high-strength options.
Most tobacco e-liquids have a shelf life of 2 years when stored properly. Premium options maintain quality longer due to superior ingredients and formulation.
Freezing or overheating can separate the liquid or alter the tobacco flavour profile significantly. Room temperature is ideal for long-term storage and maintaining authentic tobacco taste, especially for premium blends.
Tobacco extracts and flavour compounds can settle over time, especially in shortfills. Give your bottle a good shake before filling your tank to ensure even tobacco flavour distribution and consistency.
How to Add Nicotine Shots to Tobacco Shortfills
Tobacco shortfill bottles leave space for nicotine shots, allowing you to customise your nicotine strength whilst enjoying authentic tobacco flavours.
Here's a simple guide to mixing your tobacco e-liquid safely and effectively.
What You'll Need
A tobacco shortfill bottle (50ml or 100ml)
Nicotine shots (usually 10ml at 18mg)
A clean surface
Optional: gloves for handling nicotine
Step-by-Step Mixing Instructions for Tobacco Shortfills
Remove the cap and nozzle from your tobacco shortfill bottle.
Add your chosen number of nicotine shots depending on your desired strength:
- For 50ml tobacco shortfills: 1 shot = 3mg, 2 shots = 6mg (please note a 2nd empty bottle for 6mg would be required as the volume of eliquid is more than the bottle size)
- For 100ml tobacco shortfills: 2 shots = 3mg, 4 shots = 6mg (please note a 2nd empty bottle for 6mg would be required as the volume of eliquid is more than the bottle size)
Replace the nozzle and cap securely.
Shake the bottle vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes to ensure thorough mixing of tobacco and nicotine.
Let the liquid sit for a few minutes before use to allow any air bubbles to settle.
Ideal for experienced vapers using higher powered kits.
Nicotine Shot Mixing Chart for Tobacco Shortfills
For quick reference, here's how many shots to add to your tobacco shortfill based on your target strength:
- 50ml tobacco shortfill + 1x 18mg shot = 3mg 60ml total
- 50ml tobacco shortfill + 2x 18mg shots = 6mg (please note a 2nd empty bottle for 6mg would be required as the volume of eliquid is more than the bottle size)
- 100ml tobacco shortfill + 2x 18mg shots = 3mg 120ml total
- 100ml tobacco shortfill + 4x 18mg shots = 6mg 140ml total (please note a 2nd empty bottle for 6mg would be required as the volume of eliquid is more than the bottle size)
Always double-check the bottle size and nicotine shot strength before mixing tobacco e-liquids.
Ideal for experienced vapers using higher powered kits.
Safety Tips for Mixing Tobacco Shortfills
Wash your hands after handling nicotine shots
Avoid contact with skin or eyes when adding nic shots to tobacco shortfills
Store mixed tobacco e-liquids in a cool, dark place
