What Is E-liquid? What's Inside Vape Juice
Share
When it comes to vaping, e-liquid (also known as vape juice) is an essential part. But what is e-liquid, really? And what’s inside that little bottle that makes vaping so flavorful and smooth?
At Skwezed, we’re all about keeping things fresh, flavorful, and transparent. So let’s break down exactly what e-liquid is, what it’s made of, and why it matters for your vape experience.
What Is E-Liquid?
E-liquid is the fluid used in vape devices and electronic cigarettes. If you use disposables, pod systems, or mod kits, they all require e-liquid to give you that smooth, satisfying, and flavorful hit. E-liquid is heated by your device’s coil, turning it into vapor for you to inhale. There’s a wide variety of flavors, nicotine strengths, and formulas available, giving vapers endless customization options.
The main ingredients in vape juice are usually the same—but the quality, ratios, and flavor profiles can vary a lot from brand to brand. At Skwezed, we’re known for our clean ingredients and true-to-taste flavors that actually taste like the real thing.
What’s Inside E-Liquid?
Here’s a look at the four key ingredients inside your e-liquid:
1. Vegetable Glycerin (VG)
VG is a natural, plant-based liquid that’s thick and slightly sweet. It’s what produces those big, smooth clouds of vapor. The higher the VG content, the more cloud production—and the smoother the inhale.
2. Propylene Glycol (PG)
PG is thinner than VG and helps carry flavor. It provides more of a throat hit, which some users prefer—especially if they’re switching from cigarettes. A balanced PG/VG ratio is key to getting both strong flavor and satisfying vapor.
3. Flavoring
All the flavor in your e-liquid comes from food-grade, inhalation-safe flavorings. Skwezed takes flavor seriously—our award-winning blends like Green Apple and Watermelon are crafted to deliver bold, juicy, authentic flavors without tasting artificial.
4. Nicotine (Optional)
Some e-liquids contain nicotine, some don’t. You’ll find both nicotine salt and freebase nicotine options in the market. Skwezed offers different nicotine strengths so you can choose what fits your needs—whether you're trying to quit smoking or just enjoy the flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is e-liquid made of?
E-liquid is typically made of four main ingredients: VG (vegetable glycerin), PG (propylene glycol), flavorings, and nicotine (optional).
Is vape juice the same as e-liquid?
Yes! The terms e-liquid, vape juice, and vape liquid are all used interchangeably. They all refer to the liquid you put in your vape device.
Is e-liquid safe?
E-liquids from reputable brands like Skwezed are made with food-grade ingredients and lab-tested formulations. While vaping is not risk-free, using clean, well-formulated products is key to a safer experience.
What’s the difference between nicotine salt and freebase nicotine?
Nicotine salt delivers a smoother hit at higher strengths and absorbs into the bloodstream quickly. Freebase nicotine has a stronger throat hit and is often used in traditional vape juice. Both are found in different types of e-liquid depending on the device and user preference.
Can I vape e-liquid without nicotine?
Absolutely. Many vapers enjoy zero-nicotine vape juice just for the flavor. Skwezed’s Freebase E-liquids are available in zero nicotine versions for those who have the oral fixation but don’t want the nicotine.
