A Crucial Component for E-Liquids
The consistency, smoothness, and vapour production of your e-liquids depend heavily on the quality of Vegetable Glycerine used. Whether you're aiming for thick, satisfying clouds or a smooth throat hit, DarkStar VG is the perfect foundation for your e-liquid formulations. It blends seamlessly with Propylene Glycol (PG) and flavour concentrates, allowing for a custom vaping experience tailored to your preferences.
Opting for a higher VG concentration delivers denser clouds and a smoother throat hit, making it ideal for cloud chasers and those sensitive to PG. Additionally, VG tends to carry a slightly sweet taste and minimal scent, contributing to the overall flavour of your e-liquid without overpowering it. Conversely, increasing the PG ratio provides a stronger throat hit, clearer flavours, and a more pronounced scent, suiting those who crave the sensation of traditional smoking.
Perfect for DIY and Professional Use
No matter if you're steeping into the DIY world or crafting blends on a commercial scale, our Vegetable Glycerine is the ideal choice. It's professionally bottled to ensure the utmost quality and hygiene, guaranteeing a safe and reliable component for your e-liquid recipes. The versatility of our VG makes it suitable for a wide range of applications beyond vaping, including cosmetic and culinary uses.
Sourced from the finest suppliers in Europe, our VG represents the gold standard on the market. We buy VG in bulk and sell it in high volume to retail and business customers alike. This means we can pass on the savings to our customers while ensuring they get the highest quality freshest product every time.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: VG has a slightly sweet taste that can affect the flavour profile of e-liquids, often increasing the sweetness. However, VG is not as effective a flavour carrier as PG, which means e-liquids high in VG might have a milder flavour.
A: VG’s thicker consistency means it can be more taxing on vape coils, potentially leading to shorter coil life, especially in devices not designed for high-VG liquids. Regular maintenance and choosing the right device can help mitigate these effects.
A: A: Yes, VG and PG are often mixed in various ratios in e-liquids to balance vapor production, throat hit, flavour intensity, and viscosity. Common ratios include 70/30 VG/PG for cloud chasing and 50/50 VG/PG for a balanced experience.
A: VG-based e-liquids should be stored in a cool, dark place to prevent degradation of the liquid and maintain flavour quality. Proper storage also helps prevent the VG from becoming too thick or viscous.
A: While VG can be used in many devices, it performs best in devices that are specifically designed for high-VG liquids. These devices often feature larger wicking holes and coils that can handle the thicker consistency of VG.
A: VG is notably thicker and more viscous, resulting in denser vapor clouds. Interestingly, when VG is warmed, it becomes less viscous quite rapidly, allowing for easier handling and mixing, despite its naturally thicker consistency compared to the thinner and more fluid PG, which contributes to a stronger throat hit and more pronounced flavours in e-liquids
