Nic Salts have the smooth ingredients to allow such a high level of nicotine without the effects. You don't have to be in the position of moving from cigarettes to vaping to enjoy this; it is however recommended if you are in that position.

As it says in the name, Shortfill E-Liquids is a bottle that has a shorter amount of e-liquid provided, in order for yourself to fill up the rest with shots of nicotine. It is up to the vaper to add their own strength of nicotine, give it a shake and then it is ready to go. Shortfills are most commonly used by vapers who have a bit more experience, they have acquired their own taste and vaping style.

50/50 E-Liquid is a vape juice that consists of PG (Propylene Glycol) and 50% VG (vegetable glycerine). As explained earlier, PG is what carries the flavour and VG is what creates the thick clouds of vapour. 50/50 is a perfect combination to give you the best of both worlds. This e-liquid can be used in both sub-ohm and classic devices and are designed to imitate a cigarette hit of MTL (mouth-to-lung) and can also be used for a DL (direct lung) inhalation.

High VG e-liquids are great for vapers who enjoy a much smoother hit and who enjoy creating a large cloud on exhale. It also has a slightly more sweet liquid.
