E-liquid, also known as vape juice, is the liquid used in electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and vape devices to produce vapour. Understanding what e-liquid is and what it contains is crucial for making informed decisions when purchasing vaping products. This blog will explore the components of e-liquid, how it works, and the variety of flavours and nicotine strengths available.
alt.’s extensive range of high-quality vape devices, including 31 vape pod flavours and 19 disposables available in two sizes, are all prefilled with nicotine salt e-liquids, meaning you can find various satisfying options to suit your tastes.
Whether you're new to vaping or an experienced user, being in the know about vape juice is essential to having the best vaping experience you can.
What Are E-Liquids/Vape Juice and How Do They Work?
E-liquids or vape juice are among the most important components of vaping devices. These liquids contain a mix of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), flavouring, and nicotine salts (unless they’re nicotine-free, like our alt. Pods with select flavours available in 0% options).
When the device’s coil heats an e-liquid, it turns into vapour that users inhale. This vapour delivers the flavour and nicotine, providing a satisfying alternative to smoking. The balance of PG and VG in the e-liquid affects the vapour production and throat hit, catering to different user preferences. In particular, it allows former smokers to get that familiar feeling from inhaling a cigarette.
alt. offers a convenient and accessible range of products, including pod systems and disposable vapes, making it easy for users to find their go-to delivery system for e-liquid. For all options, explore our full range here.
What is in E-Liquids/Vape Juice?
As mentioned above, e-liquids are composed of three key components: glycol, flavouring, and nicotine. The glycol component usually consists of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), which serve as the base. PG provides a stronger throat hit, while VG is thicker and produces more vapour. Food-grade flavours are added to enhance the vaping experience, with options ranging from fruit to dessert and tobacco vape flavours.
Our e-liquid flavours adhere to strict safety and quality standards and are carefully formulated to be free from diacetyl, acetyl propenol and pudelone. We do not use Vitamin E in our e-liquid.
As a New Zealand-owned and operated company, we understand what Kiwi vapers enjoy, which is why our alt. Classic Pod e-liquid flavours are developed and made here in New Zealand in our laboratory - a certified ISO5 cleanroom with ISO9001:2015, ISO14001:2015 and ISO45001 quality standards, following a GMP manufacturing framework.
Nicotine is available in varying strengths, including 28.5mg/mL, 20mg/mL, and 0mg/mL. Users can choose the concentration that suits their preferences and needs, helping people who want to quit smoking match their nicotine intake level to make the transition smooth.

E-Liquid Strengths and Flavours
E-liquids come in a variety of nicotine strengths and flavours to cater to different user preferences. By having such a depth of choice, alt. caters for a diverse range of tastes and needs with our easy and accessible vaping products designed for ex-smokers, current cigarette users, and those new to vaping.
Our nicotine strengths range from zero nicotine to 28.5mg/mL, allowing users to select according to their needs, whether transitioning from smoking or looking for a nicotine-free experience.
Choosing the right nic strength depends on your current nicotine consumption and your goals for vaping. Heavy smokers are best suited to higher nicotine strengths, such as 28.5mg/mL, while our lower strengths, such as 20mg/mL, are best for someone who smokes 5+ cigarettes a day.
In addition to a variety of nicotine strengths, alt. provides a wide range of flavours, from tobacco to fruity and even dessert-inspired vape flavours, ensuring there's something for everyone.

How to Choose the Right E-Liquid Products for You
Selecting the ideal e-liquid depends on several factors: nicotine strength, flavour preferences, and the type of device (pods or disposables). Beginners may prefer lower nicotine levels, while experienced vapers might opt for higher concentrations.
Flavour is subjective; it's about finding what satisfies your palate, whether that's a fruity, minty, or tobacco blend. Smokers transitioning to vaping generally prefer flavours such as Tobacco, Menthol, or Mint.
Our alt. Classic Pods are a great way for current or former smokers to ease into the world of vaping as they provide a similar experience to a cigarette, with flavours that are satisfying without being too intense.
For those who prefer intense flavour, our alt. Nu Pods and alt. Nu Disposables offer delicious vapour in a huge range of flavours such as Grape, Strawberry Watermelon, Apple, Peach Mint and more.
What’s great about our pod vapes is that pods are prefilled with e-liquid and replaceable, meaning you’re not stuck to one flavour. You can keep the device and easily swap different flavoured vape pods in and out of your device, allowing a mess-free and commitment-free experience.
