What 70/30 Vape Juice Is
70/30 vape juice is e-liquid mixed at 70% vegetable glycerine to 30% propylene glycol, which makes it thicker, smoother and cloudier than the 50/50 blend used in 10ml bottles.
VG is the thick, slightly sweet half that makes the vapour. PG is the thin half that carries flavour and gives the throat hit. Tip the balance towards VG and you get a softer draw with a lot more cloud, at the cost of some throat hit and a liquid too thick for small coils.
That is why 70/30 is the standard for sub-ohm vaping and why almost every UK shortfill is mixed at it. For what each ingredient does in detail, read what VG and PG are.
High VG Vape Juice: 70/30 and 80/20
High VG means any e-liquid at 70% VG or above. Most of this range is 70/30, with a smaller set of 80/20 bottles from Just Jam and Lolly Vape Co for people who want even more vapour.
We do not stock 100% VG or max VG liquid. Pure VG barely carries flavour and will not wick in most tanks, so the brands we carry stop at 80/20.

Which Kits Take 70/30
70/30 wants a sub-ohm coil, anything from 0.15 to 0.5 ohm, because those coils have the wide wicking ports a thick liquid needs. Put it through a 1.0 ohm pod coil and it cannot soak in fast enough, so you get dry hits and a burnt taste.

If you are on a pod kit and wondering whether it will cope, can you use 70/30 in a pod kit goes through it pod by pod. For power, most 0.15 to 0.5 ohm coils sit between 40W and 80W, and our wattage guide has the ranges for each coil.
Nicotine in a 70/30 Shortfill
Every bottle here is 0mg. To add nicotine, empty one 10ml 18mg nic shot into each 50ml of shortfill and you have 3mg, the strength most sub-ohm vapers use.
Mixed with a freebase shot it keeps its throat hit; mixed with a nic salt shot it goes smoother. Either way the finished liquid is still high VG, so the kit advice above does not change.
There is no ready-mixed 20mg 70/30, because 10ml nicotine bottles are blended at 50/50 to suit pod kits. If that is what you are after, the nic salt range is where it lives.
For 6mg and above, or for salt shot maths, our nic shot mixing charts cover every bottle and target.
Bottle Sizes and Prices
Nine in ten bottles here are 100ml, which is the size to buy for choice, with 50ml for trying a flavour and 200ml for the lowest cost per ml.

70/30 Brands
Doozy, Chubby Juice, Ramsey and Zeus Juice are the four 70/30 ranges people come back to most, and between them they cover everything from £5.99 fruit to £12.99 British-made dessert.
High VG Flavours
Dessert, custard and bakery are where high VG comes into its own, because a thick liquid at high power carries cream and pastry notes that a thin 50/50 cannot.

Dessert and custard: the high VG stronghold, and the reason most custard brands only bottle 70/30
-
Fruit and ice: still the biggest block by count
- Menthol, drinks and tobacco fill out the rest

The 2026 Vape Tax and High VG Shortfills
Nothing on this page changes price on 1 October. Stock already in the country can still be sold at pre-duty prices until 31 March 2027, and we are not repricing until the stock we hold carries the duty.
Vaping Products Duty starts on 1 October 2026 at 22p per ml, or 26.4p with VAT on top. It is charged per ml, so a 100ml shortfill mixed to 120ml carries £31.68 of duty and a 200ml mixed to 240ml carries £63.36. That is the case for buying the flavours you get through most while pre-duty stock lasts, and the reason big bottles are the ones to buy first.
Mixing a shortfill with a nic shot stays allowed after October, because both are duty-paid products. Our vape tax guide has the full breakdown by format.
