How to Choose the Best E-Liquid for Your Rechargeable Vape

If you've recently switched to a rechargeable vape—whether it's a pod kit  starter kit, or sub-ohm kit —you're probably wondering which e-liquid is the right fit. With so many options out there, from 10ml bottles to shortfills, nic salts, and different VG/PG ratios, it can feel a little overwhelming.

Don’t worry—this guide from the I Love Vapour team will walk you through everything you need to know so you can enjoy bold flavour, smooth hits, and the best performance from your device.

Why Choosing the Right E-Liquid Matters

Picking the right e-liquid isn’t just about flavour—it’s essential for your device’s performance, coil life, and your overall vaping experience.

Using the wrong type of e-liquid for your vape kit can lead to burnt coils, poor vapour production, or a harsh throat hit. By understanding a few key factors—like your device type, nicotine strength, and VG/PG ratio—you can find the perfect match for your rechargeable vape.

The Main Types of E-Liquid (and Which One to Use)

Let’s break down the most common types of e-liquid you'll come across:

🔹 10ml E-Liquids

These small bottles are pre-mixed and typically contain freebase nicotine in strengths like 3mg, 6mg, 12mg, and 18mg. They’re:

• Great for pod kits and starter kits

• Easy to use and beginner-friendly

• Available in a wide range of flavours

• Perfect for a smooth, no-fuss vape with a classic throat hit

🔹 Shortfills

Shortfills come in larger bottles (usually 50ml or 100ml) with no nicotine, leaving space for a nic shot to be added. These are ideal if you:

• Use a sub-ohm kit

• Want to create big vapour clouds

• Prefer high VG content

• Like customising your nicotine strength

🔹 Nic Salts

Nic salts typically come in 10ml bottles, like freebase liquids, but use a different kind of nicotine. They’re known for:

• A faster, smoother nicotine hit

• Low throat irritation

• Being ideal for pod kits and starter kits

• Mimicking the feel of disposable vapes, making them perfect for those transitioning

VG/PG Ratios: What Do They Mean?

Every bottle of e-liquid lists a VG/PG ratio—this tells you the blend of Vegetable Glycerine (VG) and Propylene Glycol (PG), which affects the flavour, vapour, and throat hit.

Here’s a quick guide:

💨 High VG (e.g. 70VG/30PG)

• Thick, smooth vapour

• Great for sub-ohm kit kits

• Ideal for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping

• Not suitable for pod or starter kits due to poor wicking

💨 Balanced (50VG/50PG)

• Perfect middle ground

• Works well with pod kits and starter kits

• Delivers good flavour, decent vapour, and a nice throat hit

• Ideal for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping

💨 High PG (e.g. 30VG/70PG)

• Thinner consistency

• Stronger throat hit and more intense flavour

• Best for low-powered devices

• Not recommended for sub-ohm vaping
