Flavor: an essential criterion for choosing your e-liquid in Switzerland

A vast range of e-liquid flavors is available in Switzerland. In fact, manufacturers are constantly evolving their composition in order to innovate and regularly offer new aromatic experiences to vapoteurs. Vapotage enthusiasts can choose from the most common flavors found in Switzerland, including :   

Fruity-flavored e-liquids

This flavor is one of the most popular. These e-liquids reproduce the taste of fresh or exotic fruits, such as strawberry, apple, mango and so on. This alternative is ideal for vapers who prefer a sweeter, fruitier taste.

Tobacco flavor

This type of e-liquid is also very popular in Switzerland. This flavor seeks to reproduce the taste of blond, brown or dark-brown tobacco. First-time vapers who want to rediscover the taste of traditional cigarettes with vaping have a preference for this type of e-liquid.

Gourmet-flavored e-liquids

These e-liquids are appreciated for their smooth, sweet vape. These products are often reminiscent of desserts, confectionery or pastries such as caramel, vanilla or chocolate.

Minty flavor

There's nothing like this type of e-liquid for a fresh mouthfeel and liveliness. These e-liquids are often mint-based and can be offered in a variety of flavors, such as spearmint or peppermint.

E-liquids with an original flavour

Other e-liquids have an atypical taste. They may combine two flavors or have a spicy taste, for example. These products enable users to vary their pleasure and discover new sensations.

Our advice: Choosing the flavor of your e-liquid is a matter of personal preference. Trying out different flavors to find the one that suits you best is important. It's also worth noting that perception of flavors can vary from person to person: what's delicious to one vaper may be less appealing to another.

Choosing your e-liquid in Switzerland: basing your choice on the PG/VG ratio

• The PG/VG ratio in e-liquids is an important characteristic that influences the vaping experience. It's also a crucial factor to consider when choosing your e-liquid. PG stands for propylene glycol and VG for vegetable glycerine. These two ingredients are used in the manufacture of e-liquids, and their relative proportions in the blend can affect flavor, mouthfeel, vapor production and hit or throatfeel:
• PG is a fluid, colorless, odorless liquid. One of its functions is to enhance hit and flavor. An e-liquid with a high PG ratio may be recommended for beginners, vapoteurs seeking nicotine withdrawal and users of low-power electronic cigarettes;
• VG vegetable glycerine is a viscous, slightly sweet liquid that promotes a denser vapor. E-liquid with a high VG content is more recommended for experienced vapoteurs, fans of big clouds and people using a powerful electronic cigarette.
• Our advice: The PG/VP ratio can be a criterion of choice when selecting your e-liquid. Here are a few situations where this factor is important:
• Looking for a vape with dense vapor and a smooth hit? An e-liquid with a high VG ratio is ideal, i.e. a VG above 70%;
• Do you prefer a vape with good flavor reproduction and a pronounced throat sensation? Choose e-liquids with a high PG content or at least 50%;
• Using a low-power e-cigarette? The best solution is to opt for an e-liquid with a balanced or 50/50 PG/VG ratio.

And nicotine concentration: why is this important?

Information expressed in milligrams per milliliter or mg/mL is displayed on every bottle of e-liquid: the nicotine concentration. This indicates the amount of nicotine present in the e-liquid. This information is important when choosing an e-liquid: it is likely to influence the level of dependency, throat sensation and flavor, but also in some cases compatibility with your vaping equipment.

• To help you choose the right e-liquid in Switzerland, here are a few things you should know about nicotine concentration:
• e-liquids in Switzerland are available with different levels of nicotine concentration. The lowest level is 0 mg/mL for nicotine-free e-liquid bottles. The level then increases in stages, from 3 to 18 mg/mL for very high-dosage bottles;
• The nicotine concentration may have an impact on the flavor of the e-liquid. Nicotine has a slightly bitter taste. This flavor can mask or alter the aromas of an e-liquid. The lower the nicotine concentration, the purer and more intense the flavors. A balance must therefore be struck between nicotine needs and taste pleasure;
• nicotine concentration is also likely to have an impact on the sensation of throat contraction when vapour is inhaled. The higher the nicotine concentration, the stronger the hit.

Our advice:

• If you're a smoker, start with an e-liquid with a nicotine level equivalent to your daily cigarette consumption.
• When you're not sure what nicotine level is right for you, start with a low-dose e-liquid. You can then gradually increase the dose if necessary.
