Vegetable Glycerine 200ml

Drip Hacks® Vegetable Glycerine is sourced from reliable manufacturers in the highest purity available, perfectly suited to all vaping & professional applications. The essential ingredient in all e liquids, vegetable glycerine is responsible for producing the vapour that carries Nicotine during inhalation. Vg and Pg can be mixed together to create what’s called a “base mix” in the vaping world – and this can cut down on mixing time and improve efficiency. Available in high quality packaging in a range of sizes, we’ve got a product to suit all needs.

What is Vegetable Glycerine?

Vegetable Glycerine is a clear, viscous and odourless compound with a mild sweet taste having a wide array of applications in many industries, the latest of which is E Liquid. Vegetable Glycerine is most often referred to in the vaping industry as “VG” but it may also be called “Glycerin”, “Glycerine” and Glycerol.

Where does Vegetable Glycerine come from?

As the name might suggest, VG is derived from plant and sometimes animal sources where it occurs in triglycerides. The production of VG comprises 2 stages: hydrolysis (used to break chemical bonds) and saponification (conversion of esters into soaps and alcohols). Drip Hacks Vegetable Glycerine is derived from Rapeseed and is 99.5% pure as a minimum.

The Main Ingredient in all E-Liquid

Vegetable Glycerine produces a vapour when sufficiently heated, and without this ingredient vaping might not be possible. Our high-quality 99.5% pure Vegetable Glycerine ensures your E-Liquid provides a clean and authentic flavour with excellent vapour production. It’s easy to mix VG with PG and flavourings, as well as the all-essential nicotine component. No special gear is required to do so, simply add all the required components to a bottle and shake well. Any good Vegetable Glycerine should be clear and odourless as well as almost tasteless, though a mild sweetness is usually present simply due to the nature of the material.

A Versatile Ingredient

Besides for vaping, Vegetable Glycerin has many uses including in both food and cosmetics. Commonly used in soap making and various food production processes, it’s an all-rounder offering various unique material properties. Sourcing high-quality VG is paramount to success in these industries as well as compliance with regulations – Drip Hacks VG is of the highest purity and is pumped in an exceptionally clean environment.

How do I use it to make my own E Liquid?

Vegetable Glycerine is used as the backbone of E Liquid and comprises the majority of the liquid (usually 50% of more). Mixing E Liquid is simple and with the help of a Hackshot it can be done in 4 simple steps. Always remember to calculate your mixing ratios correctly by using our handy nic shot calculator to ensure your final values for Nicotine, flavour percentage and Vg and Pg ratio are correct.

Vegetable Glycerine is suppled in Hackshot Starter Kits in 200ml – more than enough to mix the bottle into E Liquid. Hackshots are a convenient solution to making your own vape juice and are our most popular product.

When it comes to vaping, VG is the only ingredient that can be used to produce vapour.

What VG/PG ratio is suitable for me?”

This depends largely on the device you’re using. If you’re using a pod device then a blend of 50% Vg & 50% Pg is optimal. More advanced vapers using sub-ohm kits will benefit from thicker, higher VG liquids.

Does VG affect flavour?

VG may impart a very mild sweetness but mostly it is undetectable. And since it’s a required ingredient it’s irrelevant. Just make sure to source high-quality, high-purity vg for use in E-Liquids as low-grade VG can spoil flavour.

How does VG Affect Coil life?

VG on it’s own has the smallest affect on coil life when compared to nicotine & flavouring. If you’re burning through coils quickly it will not be due to the VG unless it is of very poor quality. Sweetener content in highly sweet flavours is far more likely the culprit.

What is Glycerol?

Glycerol is another name for Vegetable Glycerine.

How should I store any remaining VG?

VG is a humectant which means it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. It is therefore essential to ensure it is stored in an airtight container, out of sunlight and away from children & pets.
