With the impending disposable vape ban in the UK, many vapers are understandably contemplating their next move. Switching to a rechargeable vape, like Vuse Go Reload or Vuse Pro, presents not only a better alternative, but also an opportunity to delve deeper into the composition and craftmanship of vape pods and flavours, also sometimes called vape liquids and vape juice.
This comprehensive guide is here to help you understand the role of an e-liquid in rechargeable vape devices. We’re also going to be exploring the ingredients in vape pods, and emphasising what’s not included and why it matters. Because Quality matters. Vuse tests rigorously to comply with industry requirements. Our rigorous testing allows us to control the ingredients we use in our products.

The Basics: What is a pod?
An e-liquid pod is a small, self-contained cartridge, filled with e-liquid that is designed to be used with a compatible rechargeable vape device. These pods click easily and safely into the device and are simply replaced once the e-liquid is depleted. This system offers a convenient alternative to disposable vapes. Disposable vapes integrate the e-liquid into the device and when the liquid runs out, the device can no longer be used.
What's not in Vuse Pods
Vuse champions clear and accessible information about all the vape liquid ingredients, beginning with what we do not add to our e-liquids.
Â
No Added Sucralose:
Sucralose is an artificial sweetener that is sometimes added to some vape e-liquids to enhance sweetness. Our toxicologists review publicly available literature on ingredients to understand suitability for inhalation. As such, Sucralose has been identified as unsuitable and is not directly added to Vuse products.
No Added Vitamin E AcetateÂ
Vitamin E acetate is banned by the UK Government as an ingredient in nicotine containing vaping products. It’s crucial to understand that Vitamin E acetate is not present in any legally compliant, nicotine-containing vapes sold in the UK. Vuse e-
liquids do not contain Vitamin E acetate, reaffirming our commitment to adherence to regulations.
No Added AcetoinÂ
Vuse has made the decision to exclude acetoin from the formulations. This allows us to further simplify our ingredient list.
Beyond the Absences: A Closer Look at Vuse E-Liquid Ingredients
Whilst the absence of certain ingredients is important, it’s equally crucial to understand what is included in Vuse e-liquids. Expertly crafted in the UK, our vape liquids are carefully crafted and carefully considered.Â
Propylene Glycol (PG): The Flavour CarrierÂ
PG is a colourless, almost odourless liquid with a thin consistency that is used as a base for e-liquids along with VG. It dissolves flavours and nicotine and enhances the e-liquid's taste, providing a more concentrated flavour. When vapourised, it produces a stronger throat hit and is less likely to cause build-up in vaping equipment.
Vegetable Glycerine (VG): The Cloud Maker
VG is a sweet, odourless, thick liquid that is derived from vegetable oils. While VG has a higher viscosity than PG, which can result in bigger vapour clouds, its thick consistency can take a toll vaping equipment, resulting in more frequent cleaning and maintenance.
The ratio of PG to VG in e-liquids affects the balance between flavour intensity, throat hit, and vapour production. At Vuse, we carefully balance PG and VG ratios to achieve a balance of flavour and vapour production, individually crafted for each of our flavours.
Nicotine: The Key Ingredient
Nicotine is an ingredient that is extracted from the tobacco plant, before being purified and turned into nicotine salts, the component in e-liquids.
At Vuse, we offer a wide range of nicotine strengths to cater to individual preferences – from 3 mg/ml to 20 mg/ml. We also have a range of 0mg/ml nicotine options.
Food-Grade Flavourings: The Art of Flavour Creation
Because Quality Matters. Vuse tests rigorously to comply with industry requirements. Our rigorous testing allows us to control the ingredients we use in our products. Vuse only uses high quality food grade flavour ingredients. There are two types of flavours in an e-liquid: natural flavour and artificial flavour.
Natural Flavour:
These are formed from molecules taken from nature, which have undergone extraction, distillation and finely-tuned blending processes to achieve the desired flavour. This allows for a more authentic recreation of flavours.
Artificial Flavour:
These are created from synthetic molecules to approximate the desired flavour. Artificial flavours are used to reproduce flavours that are difficult to obtain naturally. Using artificial flavours allows us to strengthen the aroma of certain flavours that might lack intensity in a natural e-liquid.
Whether natural or artificial, each product from our new Extra Intense Flavour range to our original Pro Nic Salts range undergo hundreds of hours of testing before it reaches the consumer. We use high quality pharmaceutical grade nicotine, VG and PG and food grade flavourings sourced from EU/US flavour houses. – To explore the world of Vuse flavours, visit our Vape Pods page.
