Pg/Vg Ratio Formula
PVR = Pg/ Vg
Variables:
- PVR is the Pg/Vg Ratio ()
- Pg is the total propylene glycol
- Vg is the total vegetable glycerine
To calculate Pg/Vg Ratio, divide the total propylene glycol by the total vegetable glycerine.
How to Calculate Pg/Vg Ratio?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Pg/Vg Ratio.
- First, determine the total propylene glycol.
- Next, determine the total vegetable glycerine.
- Next, gather the formula from above = PVR = Pg/ Vg
- Finally, calculate the Pg/Vg Ratio.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

total vegetable glycerine = 100
FAQ Section
What is propylene glycol, and why is it used?
Propylene glycol is a synthetic organic compound with the chemical formula C3H8O2. It is used in various industrial, cosmetic, and food products due to its properties as a solvent, humectant, and preservative. In the context of Pg/Vg ratios, it is commonly used in vaping liquids to produce a throat hit similar to that of smoking tobacco.
What is vegetable glycerine, and how does it differ from propylene glycol in vaping liquids?
Vegetable glycerine (VG) is a natural chemical derived from vegetable oil, commonly used as a sweetener, preservative, and thickening agent in various products, including e-liquids for vaping. In vaping liquids, VG is known for producing more vapor than propylene glycol (PG) and provides a smoother hit, whereas PG is known for providing a stronger throat hit and carrying flavor more effectively.
How does the Pg/Vg Ratio affect the vaping experience?
The Pg/Vg Ratio in vaping liquids affects the thickness of the vapor, the intensity of the throat hit, and the flavor delivery. Higher PG ratios tend to produce a stronger throat hit and clearer flavors, while higher VG ratios result in denser vapor clouds and a smoother hit. Users can adjust the ratio based on their personal preference for vapor production and hit intensity.
Can someone be allergic to propylene glycol or vegetable glycerine in vaping liquids?
Yes, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to propylene glycol or vegetable glycerine in vaping liquids. Symptoms can include throat irritation, skin rash, or difficulty breathing. Those with known sensitivities should opt for liquids with a higher concentration of the non-irritating substance or consult with a healthcare provider before vaping.
