What PG and VG Ratio Are Imp Jar Nic Salts?
A clear breakdown of why Imp Jar Nic Salts are blended 50/50, what VG and PG each contribute and how this compares to other e-liquid formats.
The short answer
Imp Jar Nic Salts are blended at a 50% VG and 50% PG ratio, the same balance used across the rest of the Imp Jar range. This keeps the liquid thin enough to wick properly in pod kits and small MTL devices, while still delivering decent vapour and a satisfying throat sensation.

Why 50/50 suits nic salts so well
Most nic salt e-liquids on the market use a 50/50 ratio, since the format is designed primarily for small pod kits with low powered coils. A 50/50 blend wicks quickly through those smaller coil ports, avoiding the dry hits that a thicker, higher VG liquid would cause in the same device.
What VG and PG each contribute
Vegetable glycerine produces a smoother, fuller vapour, while propylene glycol carries flavour efficiently and contributes to the throat sensation. A 50/50 split balances both, giving Imp Jar Nic Salts a discreet vapour output paired with clear, well defined flavour.
How this compares to other formats
| Format | Typical ratio | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Imp Jar Nic Salts | 50/50 VG/PG | Pod kits, MTL devices |
| Imp Jar Shortfills | 50/50 VG/PG | Pod kits, MTL tanks |
| Typical sub-ohm e-liquid | 70/30 or 80/20 VG/PG | Sub-ohm tanks, mods |
The consistent 50/50 ratio across the Imp Jar range means switching between nic salts and shortfills does not require a different device or coil.
Common questions about the ratio
Why do nic salts almost always use 50/50?
It matches the small, low powered devices nic salts are designed for, where a thicker liquid would not wick efficiently.
Can I use Imp Jar Nic Salts in a sub-ohm tank?
It is possible but not recommended, the 50/50 ratio is built for MTL devices and may flood or perform poorly in a sub-ohm coil.
Does the ratio affect nicotine strength?
No, VG and PG ratio is separate from nicotine strength, the two are chosen independently when a liquid is formulated.
