The truth about vaping has been debated for years — especially when it comes to propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin (PG and VG), the two main ingredients in most vape juices. Fordee from Herbistry420 breaks it all down so you can make an informed choice about whether vaping is right for you.
The Truth About Vaping — What Is PG and VG?
To understand the truth about vaping, you need to know what is actually in your vape juice. The two key components are:
- Propylene glycol (PG) — A synthetic, colorless, odorless compound with a slightly sweet taste. Found in food products, cosmetics, and even smoke machines in movie theaters.
- Vegetable glycerin (VG) — A sweet-tasting liquid derived from vegetable oils. Commonly found in pharmaceuticals, foods, and beverages.
Both propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are not exclusive to vaping — they exist all around us in everyday products we consume without thinking twice.
