Choosing the right propylene glycol/vegetable glycerine ratio is no small matter when vaping CBD. But let me take care of it for you! On the online store, you'll enjoy ready-to-use CBD e-liquids with the ideal PG/VG ratio.
To remember
- The PG/VG ratio affects hit, vapor and fluidity.
- CBD vaping goes better if the e-liquid contains more PG.
- The 60/40 PG/VG ratio is Mama's favorite, as it's the perfect balance between flavor and vapor.
What is the purpose of PG and VG in CBD e-liquid?
It's a good question after all, even before choosing a ratio: what are the roles of these two substances in the composition of CBD e-liquids ?
Role of the PG
PG, or propylene glycol, is responsible for the famous hit you feel in your throat when you inhale. You know, that special little sensation. It's the main component of your e-liquid.
PG is used in the composition of e-liquids for its two advantages: low viscosity and absorbency. It has the power to make aromas more intense, giving e-liquids a stronger taste. It magnifies aromas, so to speak, while creating a light vapor. It also thins the e-liquid, making it easier to heat.
Role of VG
VG, or vegetable glycerine, is thicker and more viscous. The steam it produces is denser, and reduces the hit effect.
The disadvantage is that it clogs up your vaporizer's resistors more quickly, but it is sought after by consumers who appreciate big puffs of vapor. Its flavor is a little sweeter and milder than that of PG, which has a harsher taste.
What's the right PG/VG ratio for vaping CBD?
Variability of PG/VG levels
Propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are both present in your CBD e-liquid vaper, but in varying proportions, depending on the product and brand. Sometimes it's the VG that takes precedence over the PG, or vice versa. The question is which PG/VG ratio suits you best as a consumer.
The different ratios
For your information, here is what we came up with after testing and researching possible dosages of vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol:
- 20 PG / 80 VG: with this ratio, the vapor remains very dense, but the aromas are less detectable.
- 50 PG/ 50 VG: this balanced ratio is well suited to beginner vaping. A good balance based on present aromas and a satisfying vapor.
- 60 PG / 40 VG : this is the ratio that Mama Kana prefers, for optimal flavor development alongside the production of a compact, almost "mellow" smoke. The perfect compromise.
The importance of choosing the right ratio for CBD
When it comes to CBD, the choice of ratio for a CBD e-liquid is even more crucial than for classic e-liquids. This is because cannabidiol is more sensitive to heat, and may have difficulty blending in liquids with a high VG content.
Propylene glycol, or PG, is the main component of an e-liquid. Its level is usually between 50 and 80%.
At Mama Kana, e-liquids contain 60% PG and 40% VG. We've chosen this ratio because we think it's ideal. It guarantees both flavor optimization and a fairly dense vapor volume.
Know that if you choose a CBD e-liquid from Mama Kana, you will get an e-liquid composed of 99% pure CBD crystals without THC or nicotine. What's more, we don't add any artificial terpenes to our e-liquids, whose flavors remain natural.
Don't hesitate to try the range of CBD e-liquids ready for a vape session! And why not take the opportunity to explore the Vape Pen CBD range through a variety of flavours? Yes, La Mama thinks of everything!
