What is vegetable glycerin?

Vegetable glycerin (VG) is derived from soybean, coconut or palm oils. These fats are rich in triglyceride, which is then heated to allow the glycerin to break away from the fatty acids. The glycerin is then mixed with water to create an odourless, syrup-like liquid. Vegetable glycerin is commonly used in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries and can also play an important role in vaping. 

Benefits of vegetable glycerin when vaping 

• Solvent - VG is a more natural solvent compared to propylene glycerin (PG) and can be used to dilute or make your own e-liquid.
• Thicker aerosol - Adding VG to e-liquid can create thicker clouds.
• Less throat hit - Compared to PG, VG can diminish the throat hit, which is prefered by some vapers.
• Taste - Vegetable glycerin can be added to fruit or candy e-liquids to produce a sweeter flavour.
