What 50/50 Gives You
The two halves do different jobs. PG is thin, carries flavour sharply and produces the throat hit that feels like smoking. VG is thick and sweet and makes the vapour. An even split gives you a noticeable hit and clear flavour with modest, discreet vapour, which is exactly what a pod kit or vape pen is designed to deliver. It is also thin enough to soak through the small wicking ports on a 1.0 ohm coil without any dry hits.
That thinness is the reason this ratio dominates the 10ml shelf. Nearly every nic salt is blended 50/50, and so are the budget freebase lines from brands like Ohm Brew, Doozy and Drifter. If you vape a refillable pod, this is your ratio. Put it in a sub ohm tank instead and the wide ports flood, it spits, and the low strengths feel like nothing.
How to Shop 50/50
Pick the nicotine type
Nic salts for a smooth hit at 10mg or 20mg and fast relief. Freebase for a sharper hit at lower strengths. Both come in 50/50.
Then the strength
20mg for a pack a day, 10mg for ten a day, 3mg to 6mg for light smokers. Every range runs each flavour across several strengths.
Then the deal
Most 50/50 ranges are sold mix and match, typically 4 or 5 bottles for £10. Bottles start at £1.20, so stock up rather than buying singles.
50% VG E-Liquid FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which devices should I use 50/50 e-liquid in?
Refillable pod kits, vape pens and MTL tanks with coils at 0.8 ohm or higher. It is too thin for sub ohm tanks, where it tends to flood the coil and spit.
Is 50/50 the same as nic salt?
No. 50/50 is the VG to PG ratio; nic salt is the type of nicotine. Most nic salts happen to be blended 50/50, but there are 50/50 freebase liquids too. Check both on the product page.
Does 50/50 produce a lot of vapour?
Deliberately not. Modest vapour is what makes it usable indoors and in company, and it is why a 10ml bottle lasts days rather than hours.
Will 50/50 e-liquid burn my coil faster?
The opposite, in the right device. Because it is thin it keeps a pod coil wet, so coils last one to three weeks. What shortens coil life is sweetener content, not the ratio.
