Which E-Liquid Works Best in the Imp Jar Pod System?
Why VG and PG ratio matters more than brand for this device and how Imp Jar Nic Salts and shortfills both fit the bill.
The short answer
The best e-liquid for the Imp Jar Pod System is anything blended at 50% VG and 50% PG, which matches the 0.8 ohm mesh coil and fixed MTL airflow built into the device. Imp Jar's own nic salts and shortfills are formulated specifically for this ratio.

Why ratio matters more than brand
The single most important factor for this device is the VG and PG ratio of whatever liquid you choose, since the 0.8 ohm coil and tight airflow are tuned for a 50/50 blend. A higher VG liquid will wick more slowly through this coil and may cause dry hits, while a 50/50 blend wicks quickly and produces the discreet, flavourful vape the device is designed to deliver.
Nic salts versus shortfills in this device
Both Imp Jar Nic Salts and Imp Jar shortfills use a 50/50 ratio, so either works well in the pod. Nic salts offer higher strengths up to 20mg in a ready to vape bottle, ideal for the built-in storage slot, while shortfills offer more liquid volume at a lower mixed strength.

Common questions about e-liquid choice
Can I use any brand of 50/50 e-liquid?
Yes, the device works with any 50/50 liquid, not just Imp Jar's own range, though only Imp Jar Select nic salt bottles fit the dedicated storage slot.
What happens if I use a thicker e-liquid by mistake?
You may notice a weaker draw, muted flavour or a burnt taste, since the coil is not designed to wick thicker liquid efficiently.
Does nicotine type affect compatibility?
No, both freebase and nic salt e-liquids work in the device, the VG and PG ratio is what matters most for performance.
