🧃 Choosing the Right E-Liquid for Your Vape – Flavour, Nicotine & PG/VG
With hundreds of flavours, nicotine options, and bottle sizes to choose from, finding the right e-liquid can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re new to vaping. But it doesn’t have to be.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know about choosing the perfect vape juice — from flavour and nicotine to PG/VG ratios — and how Shipwreck Vapes can help you find your match.
🍓 1. Start with Flavour – It’s Personal
Flavour is the number one reason people stick with vaping.
At Shipwreck Vapes, some of the most popular categories include:
-
🍉 Fruits: Lychee Ice, Mango, Strawberry, Grape
-
🍬 Candy/Desserts: Gummy Bear, Vanilla Cream, Custard
-
🍃 Menthol/Mint: Ice Mint, Spearmint, Frosted Grape
-
☕ Tobacco & Coffee: Turkish Blend, Hazelnut Coffee
💡 Tip: Start with something familiar — if you love watermelon candy, you’ll probably love a watermelon e-liquid.
⚖️ 2. Know Your Nicotine: Freebase vs. Salt
Freebase Nicotine
-
Smooth to moderate throat hit
-
Used in most longfill and shortfill juices
-
Ideal for sub-ohm (DTL) vaping and cloud chasing
Nicotine Salt (Nic Salts)
-
Faster nicotine absorption
-
Smoother throat hit even at high strengths
-
Best for MTL pod systems or lower-power vape pens

⚗️ 3. Understand PG/VG Ratios
Ratio | Best For | Feel / Use Case |
---|---|---|
70VG/30PG | DTL (Direct to Lung) | More vapour, smooth draw |
50VG/50PG | MTL (Mouth to Lung) | Balanced vapour + stronger throat hit |
30VG/70PG | Rare, more throat hit | Less vapour, more flavour sharpness |
Most MTL juices are around 50/50.
Most cloud juices (longfills) are 70/30 or 80/20.
🔍 4. Bottle Size & Type
-
30ml (Nic Salts) – Stronger nicotine, compact, ideal for pod users
-
60ml – Great balance between size and portability
-
120ml (Longfills) – Value-packed bottles for cloud chasers
-
Shortfills – Add your own nic shot
At Shipwreck Vapes, we carry all these sizes and formats — and we’ll help you find the right one based on your setup.
