High VG Vape Juice | 70/30 E-Liquids, Shortfills & Nic Salt

70/30 & High Vg Vape Juice

High VG e-liquid is built for sub ohm kits and tanks, where the higher vegetable glycerin gives thicker clouds and a smoother inhale. Most of this collection runs at a 70 VG 30 PG ratio, the standard for UK sub ohm vaping, with some going up to 80/20 for even more vapour. It is the high-cloud side of our e-liquids range.

You will find high VG shortfills in 100ml and other bottle sizes across fruit, menthol, dessert, tobacco and drink flavours, from brands like Doozy, IVG, Zeus Juice and Big Bold. For a sharper throat hit in pod kits, 50/50 juice and nic salts suit better. Every high VG e-liquid here is dispatched the same day, seven days a week, with free next-day delivery across the UK on orders over £30.

What Is 70/30 Vape Juice

The 70/30 on a vape juice label tells you the VG to PG ratio inside the bottle. VG is vegetable glycerin and makes up the thicker part of the liquid. It's what creates the vapour and gives a smoother inhale. PG is propylene glycol and carries the flavour, plus it adds throat hit.

A 70 VG 30 PG e-liquid leans heavily towards the VG side. You'll get noticeably more cloud and a softer draw compared to a 50/50 vape juice where the throat hit is sharper and the vapour thinner. Some high VG e-liquids go up to 80 VG 20 PG for even more vapour. The 70/30 ratio is still the most common you'll see in UK shortfills.

Ratio	VG	PG	Best For
70/30	70%	30%	Sub ohm tanks and kits, clouds and flavour
80/20	80%	20%	Sub ohm and rebuildables, maximum vapour
50/50	50%	50%	Pod kits and MTL vaping, stronger throat hit

Best Kits and Coils for High VG E-Liquid

High VG vape juice runs best through sub ohm coils at 0.2Ω to 0.5Ω. These coils have bigger wicking ports that let thicker 70/30 liquid soak through without dry hits. Put high VG juice into a pod kit with a 1.0Ω or 1.2Ω coil and the liquid won't wick fast enough. You'll burn through coils quickly and get a dry, harsh taste.

For kits, stick to sub ohm kits or tanks that take coils below 0.5Ω. Rebuildable tanks like RTAs and RDAs handle high VG well because you control the cotton and airflow yourself.

Kit Type	Coil Range	Works with 70/30
Sub ohm kits and tanks	0.15Ω to 0.5Ω	Yes, built for it
Rebuildable tanks (RTA/RDA)	Custom builds	Yes, full control over wicking
Pod kits (MTL)	0.8Ω to 1.2Ω	Not recommended, too thick for most pods

If you're using a pod kit, 50/50 vape juice or nic salts are a better fit. Those thinner liquids wick properly in smaller coils without gunking them up.

High VG Shortfills and Nicotine Strengths

Most high VG juice comes as a shortfill, a larger 100ml or 50ml bottle left short of nicotine so you can add a nic shot and mix it to your strength, usually landing at 3mg or 6mg. If you want zero nicotine, they vape as they are straight from the bottle. True high VG nic salts are rare, because salts are usually mixed at 50/50 to wick in small pod coils, so if you specifically want salts the nic salt range is the place to look. For plain 0mg freebase shortfills to mix yourself, those sit alongside this collection too.

The 2026 Vape Tax and Stocking Up

The new Vaping Products Duty lands on 1 October 2026, adding £2.20 of duty per 10ml of e-liquid whatever the nicotine strength. Bigger bottles feel it most: a 100ml high VG shortfill carries ten times the duty of a 10ml, so these are the bottles set to rise the most. There is a six-month sell-through window, so stock made before October can still be sold up to 1 April 2027, which makes now a sensible time to stock up on the larger shortfills before the change. Our guide to the 2026 vape tax breaks down what is changing and when.

Frequently Asked Questions

70/30 is the VG to PG ratio: 70% vegetable glycerin to 30% propylene glycol. VG is the thick part that makes the vapour and softens the inhale, while PG carries flavour and adds throat hit. A 70/30 juice leans to clouds and a smooth draw, which is why it suits sub ohm kits and tanks.

It is not ideal. Thick 70/30 liquid struggles to wick through the small, high-resistance coils in most pod kits, so you get dry, harsh hits and burn through coils. Pods are built for thinner 50/50 juice and nic salts. Save 70/30 for sub ohm kits and tanks with low-resistance coils.

Sub ohm coils between 0.15 and 0.5 ohm. Their larger wicking ports let thick 70/30 liquid soak through without dry hits, and they run at the higher wattage high VG juice is made for. Rebuildable RTAs and RDAs also handle it well because you control the cotton and airflow yourself.

Both are high VG, just at different ratios. 70/30 is the most common high VG mix and works in any sub ohm setup. 80/20 has even more VG for thicker clouds, but the extra thickness needs a capable sub ohm or rebuildable coil to wick properly. Both sit at the cloud end versus a 50/50.

The best high VG vape juice is the one matched to your kit and flavour taste. For most sub ohm setups a 70/30 shortfill gives the best balance of cloud and flavour, while 80/20 pushes more vapour for rebuildables. Brands like Doozy, IVG and Zeus Juice are popular picks across fruit, dessert and menthol.

It is uncommon. Nic salts are usually mixed at 50/50 so they wick in small pod coils, which is the opposite of high VG. A few higher-VG salts exist, but if you want salts for a pod kit a 50/50 nic salt is the safer choice. High VG is best left as a shortfill for sub ohm kits.
