Who 80% VG E-Liquid Suits
An 80% VG blend is thick, so it needs a sub ohm coil and a kit with enough power to wick it. In a tight MTL pod it will run dry and burn. Choose it for big, smooth clouds and softer throat hit at low nicotine strengths. If you want the same style in a bigger bottle, most shortfills sit at 70% VG and take a nic shot.
VG and PG: What the Ratio Changes
Every e-liquid is a blend of two bases. PG is thin, carries flavour sharply and gives the throat hit that smokers recognise. VG is thick and sweet-tasting, and it is what makes vapour. Move the ratio towards VG and you get bigger, softer clouds with a gentler hit; move it towards PG and you get a stronger hit with less vapour.
At 80% VG the liquid is thick enough that only a sub ohm coil with wide wicking ports can keep up. Used in a tight pod kit it starves the cotton and burns. Pair it with a coil under 0.4 ohm, a kit running above 40 watts, and a nicotine strength of 3mg or 6mg, because the cloud volume delivers plenty of nicotine per puff.
Match the Ratio to Your Coil
50/50
Pod kits and MTL tanks with 1.0 ohm coils. Nic salts and most 10ml bottles sit here.
70/30
Sub ohm pod kits with 0.4 to 0.8 ohm coils. The standard shortfill blend.
80/20
Sub ohm tanks and mods with 0.15 to 0.4 ohm mesh coils. Maximum vapour, needs real airflow.
80% VG E-Liquid FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use 80% VG e-liquid in a pod kit?
Not in an MTL pod kit. The liquid is too thick for a 1.0 ohm coil to wick and you will get dry hits within a few puffs. Sub ohm pod kits with 0.4 ohm coils or lower will handle it.
Does high VG mean less nicotine?
The strength on the label is the same, but the hit feels softer because there is less PG. High VG liquids are usually sold at 3mg or 6mg because each puff carries so much vapour that a higher strength would be harsh.
Why does 80% VG liquid gurgle in my tank?
Gurgling means the coil is flooded, which happens when the airflow is too closed for a thick liquid or the coil is worn. Open the airflow fully, and if it continues, fit a fresh coil and let it soak for five minutes before firing.
