VG & PG Diluents
Understanding Vape Dilutents
Vape dilutents are essential components in e-liquids, primarily made up of Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG). These dilutents act as carriers for nicotine and flavourings, significantly affecting the vaping experience. PG delivers a pronounced throat hit and enhances flavour, while VG contributes to larger vapour clouds and a smoother inhale. The right balance between these two can be tailored to individual preferences.
A popular choice is the Vampire Vape Base Mix, which combines PG and VG in various ratios, allowing users to create custom e-liquids by adding flavours and nicotine. Understanding the roles of PG and VG helps vapers select the ideal dilutents to enhance flavour, vapour production, and overall satisfaction in their vaping experience.

What are the main DIY diluents used in e-liquid mixing?
The primary diluents for DIY e-liquids are Vegetable Glycerin (VG) and Propylene Glycol (PG). VG is thicker and provides smooth vapour, while PG is thinner and enhances flavour and throat hit. Most vapers use a mix of both to balance cloud production and flavour.
What is the best VG/PG ratio for DIY e-liquids?
The ideal VG/PG ratio depends on your preference. For dense vapour, a higher VG ratio (like 70/30) works well, while a 50/50 ratio is better for flavour-focused vapers. Choosing the right ratio ensures a satisfying vaping experience tailored to your needs.
Can I use distilled water as a diluent in DIY e-liquids?
Yes, some DIY mixers use distilled water as a diluent to thin VG without using PG. This can create a smoother hit and lighter clouds, especially in high-VG blends, though it’s important to use only distilled water to avoid impurities.
Where can I buy high-quality VG and PG for DIY mixing?
You can buy high-quality VG and PG from reputable vape suppliers, who offer products specifically intended for e-liquid mixing. Look for USP-grade or pharmaceutical-grade VG and PG to ensure purity and safety in your DIY e-liquids.
How do I store DIY diluents like VG and PG properly?
Store VG and PG in cool, dry places, tightly sealed to prevent contamination. Keeping diluents in their original containers or transferring them to dark glass bottles can preserve their quality. Proper storage maintains their effectiveness and extends shelf life.
