Vegetable Glycerin (VG) for DIY E-Liquids (Ireland)

Vegetable Glycerin (VG) is a high-viscosity base liquid commonly used in DIY e-liquid preparation to increase vapour density and provide a smoother inhalation profile. It is typically combined with Propylene Glycol (PG), flavour concentrates and optional nicotine shots to create customised formulations. Supplied VG is nicotine-free unless otherwise specified and intended strictly for adult users (18+) in Ireland.

Role of Vegetable Glycerin in E-Liquid Formulation

VG contributes to vapour production and mouthfeel due to its thicker consistency. Higher VG ratios are commonly used in sub-ohm and direct-to-lung (DTL) configurations, while balanced ratios may be preferred for mixed-use setups.

Technical Specification Matrix

Specification	Details
Purity Grade	Pharmaceutical / USP grade (manufacturer dependent)
Viscosity	High (thick consistency)
Nicotine Content	0mg (unless nicotine base specified)
Typical Use Range	30% – 100% of final mixture (ratio dependent)
Device Suitability	Primarily DTL / Sub-ohm devices

Mixing Example: To prepare 100ml of a 70VG/30PG e-liquid base, combine 70ml VG with 30ml PG before adding flavour concentrate and optional nicotine shot according to target strength.

Price & Value Context

Purchasing VG separately allows precise control of final VG/PG ratios and can reduce cost per ml when preparing larger DIY batches. Higher VG formulations may increase vapour density but require compatible hardware due to thicker viscosity.

Safety & Regulatory Context (Ireland)

Nicotine-free VG base is not volume-restricted; however, nicotine-containing solutions are limited to 10ml bottles with a maximum nicotine concentration of 20mg/ml under Irish TPD regulations. Proper storage in sealed containers away from heat and light is recommended. Products are intended strictly for adult users (18+).
