⚠️ Important warning
This aroma is 100% concentrated in Propylene Glycol (PG) and contains PG pure in the packaging. To achieve the ideal balance in your e-liquid, we recommend using bases with a high Vegetable Glycerin (VG) content.
- ✅ We recommend 100% VG base for a smoother vapor;
- ✅ Or, at least, 70VG / 30PG for a good balance;
- ❌ Avoid bases with 50VG / 50PG, because excess PG can make the vapor dry and harsh;
- ❌ Do not use pure — it is a concentrate, it must always be diluted.
Examples of Base, Dilution and Vaping Style
| Base VG/PG | Final Ratio / Vapor Result | Ideal Style |
|---|---|---|
| 100% VG | 25% PG / 75% VG - Very smooth vapor — dense vapor, direct draw to the lungs | DTL (Direct to Lung) — Coil below 0.6Ω, +30W |
| 70VG / 30PG | 47.5% PG / 52.5% VG - Balanced and smooth — transition between MTL and DTL, balanced vapor | RDL (Restricted DL) — Coil 0.6Ω to 1.0Ω, 15–30W |
| 50VG / 50PG | 62.5% PG / 37.5% VG - Dryer, strong “throat hit” — closed draw, similar to the “bad smell” | MTL (Mouth to Lung) — Coil above 1.0Ω, 8–15W |
Tip: Avoid bases with more than 50% PG, as the aroma already contains a lot. Prefer bases with higher VG for a smoother vapor and less dryness. Try different liquids or concentrations to find the ideal flavor.
