Choosing the Right PG/VG Ratio for Your Vape Kit or Tank
Classic or ‘MTL’ kits do not fare well with high VG e-liquids due to their different atomization rate and the risk of coil burnout. Conversely, sub ohm or ‘DTL’ kits should avoid high PG e-liquids to prevent coil clogging and a burnt taste.
To address these issues, all our OK Vape E-Liquids feature a 50/50 PG/VG ratio, making them versatile across a wide range of vape kits and tanks suitable for both MTL and DTL vaping styles.
Learn more about MTL & DTL vaping styles and their differences in this comprehensive guide.
Choosing the Best E-Liquid for Different Ohm Coils
Your coil’s resistance plays a significant role in determining the ideal e-liquid type. Coils with lower resistance, typically below 1 ohm, benefit from higher VG liquids, while coils above 1 ohm perform better with higher PG vape juices. Refer to the table below for guidance on selecting the right e-liquid based on coil resistance.
As a general rule, a balanced 50/50 e-liquid is a safe choice if you’re unsure about the ratio to choose.
| Coil Resistance (in ohms Ω) | Best All-Round PG/VG Ratio | Other Suitable Ratios | Extra Information |
| 1.5 to 2.5 ohm | 70% PG | 50/50 PGVG 60% to 70% PG |
We advise against going over 70% PG as it may create a very thin and harsh throat hit |
| 1.0 to 1.4 ohm | 50/50 PGVG | 70% PG 60% VG |
Higher PG content enhances flavor and throat hit, while VG offers smoothness and more vapor production |
| 0.5 to 1 ohm | 50/50 PGVG | 60% to 70% VG | E-liquids with over 50% PG may lead to leakage or a burnt taste |
| 0.1 to 0.4 ohm | 80% VG | 50/50 PGVG 60% to 100% VG |
50/50 e-liquid is compatible with these coils, but thicker, higher VG liquids produce denser clouds |
For devices with variable wattage or voltage, remember to adjust settings according to the e-liquid and coils you’re using.
