Can you briefly explain what PG and VG is?

PG (Propylene Glycol) and VG (Vegetable Glycerin) are two common base liquids used in e-liquids for vaping.

PG (Propylene Glycol):

  • Characteristics: PG is a colorless, odorless liquid that is thinner in consistency.
  • Effects on Lungs: PG is generally recognized as safe by the FDA and is widely used in various food and medical products. When vaped, it provides a throat hit similar to smoking and carries flavor well. Some users might find PG can be mildly irritating to the throat in high concentrations.

VG (Vegetable Glycerin):

  • Characteristics: VG is a thicker, sweeter liquid that produces larger vapor clouds.
  • Effects on Lungs: VG is also considered safe for consumption. It tends to be smoother on the throat and might be a better choice for those sensitive to throat irritation. However, VG can sometimes reduce the intensity of flavors.

Both PG and VG are commonly used in e-liquids, and the choice between them can be a matter of personal preference. Neither has been shown to have harmful effects on the lungs when used in e-cigarettes within the parameters of normal use. However, individual responses can vary, so it's essential to choose the base that provides the vaping experience you find most comfortable.
