Are Your E-liquids TPD Compliant?
Yes, all our vape juices comply with UK TPD regulations:
- Maximum nicotine strength of 20mg/ml
- All bottles are child-proof and tamper evident
- Products undergo required testing and registration
- Clear labeling with health warnings
- 10ml maximum volume for nicotine-containing e-liquids
What Ingredients Are in A Vape Juice?
Almost all vape juice is made up of four components:
VG (vegetable glycerin): Naturally sourced fruit sugar in a liquid form. VG creates the ‘cloud’ when vaping.
PG (propylene glycol): Synthetic medium used commonly in confectionary, initially flavourless and well-suited to carrying flavour concentrates.
Flavour concentrates: Food-grade quality flavour concentrates are used to add taste to vape liquid. In some instances, such as with many tobacco vape juices, natural essences are used instead.
Nicotine shots: Most 10ml bottles are sold with nicotine already added, either harsh ‘freebase’ nicotine or smooth ‘nicotine salts.’ TPD legislation prevents any bottle larger than 10ml sold in the UK containing nicotine at the point of sale. Nicotine shots can be used to infuse these larger containers with nicotine.
Which PG/VG Ratio Should I Choose?
Your ideal PG/VG ratio depends on your device and preferences:
High PG (or 50/50): Best for pod systems and starter kits
- Stronger throat hit
- Better flavour delivery
- Works well with higher nicotine strengths
High VG (70/30 or higher): Suited for sub-ohm devices
- Bigger clouds
- Smoother throat hit
- Better for lower nicotine strengths

How Do I Choose the Right Nicotine Strength?
Your ideal nicotine strength depends on your previous smoking habits:
- Heavy smokers (20+ per day): 18-20mg
- Medium smokers (10-20 per day): 10-18mg
- Light smokers (10 or less per day): 6-10mg
- Social smokers: 0-3mg
Consider using nicotine salts if you prefer a smoother throat hit at higher strengths, as some find freebase nicotine harsh on the throat.
What’s the Best Vape Juice for Creating Big Clouds?
The best vape juice for creating large vapour clouds is one with a high VG content. Ideally, you want at least 70VG, though 80 will be even cloudier.
It’s important to remember that you need a sub-ohm vape kit to vape high-VG vape juice, as an MTL kit’s coils will likely become clogged by the thick e-liquid.
What’s the Best Vape Juice for More Flavour?
Vape juice with a higher PG content often tastes better, as PG acts as the flavour-carrying medium in e-liquid.
Bar salts are a variety of great-tasting e-liquids, usually 50/50. These use additional flavourings and sweeteners to taste similar to disposable vapes.
Do keep in mind that bar salts almost always require MTL vape kits or devices that are compatible with high-resistance coils.
How Long Does Vape Juice Last Once Opened?
Properly stored e-liquid typically lasts:
- Unopened: Up to 2 years
- Opened: 6-8 months
To maintain quality:
- Store in a cool, dark place
- Keep bottles tightly sealed
- Avoid direct sunlight
- Keep away from heat sources and freezing temperatures
- Watch for changes in colour or smell
Keep in mind that vape juice expires.
