Acronyms use by season vapers

[peasaNs]

Hi, Im new to the vaping scene and a analog smoker. Am going to switch to vaping but I dont understand some of the acronyms used here like PG, VG and etc.

Can someone enlighten me? Thanks!

pg is propylene glycol vg is vegetable glycerin nic is nicotene, W will be watts like 80w v is volts like 4.0v

Welcome, PG and VG are substances on the e-liquids.
VG = Vegetable Glycerin
PG = Propylene Glycol

ejuice is a ratio/mixture of pg/vg with a nic mg(milligram) per ml(milliliter) as well as flavoring concentrates. so If you see a 50/50 3mg that means the juice is 50 percent PG 50percent VG with a 3mg per ml concentration of nicotine.

Yeah, and I suspect some people are just making them up as they go along. AFAIK, anyway.

One that threw me off was id. Stands for inner diameter. You'll run into when you start reading about rebuilding.
