The Science Behind Flavour: Exploring the Art of E-Liquid Mixology

333

When it comes to vaping, flavour is everything. Whether you're chasing clouds or searching for the perfect nicotine hit, it's the flavour profile of your e-liquid that really elevates the experience. But have you ever wondered what goes into creating those delicious blends? Welcome to the Sikary of e-liquid mixology - a perfect blend of science, art and a touch of alchemy.


The Art of Mixology

Think of e-liquid mixologists as the sommeliers of the vaping world. They don't just throw flavours together - they layer, balance and refine each component to ensure every inhale and exhale is a harmonious experience. For example, a classic fruit blend might combine sweet strawberry with tart kiwi, finished with a cool menthol undertone for that extra kick.



Mixologists also consider the flavour notes - top, middle and base - as they would in perfumery. The result? A satisfying vape that evolves from the first puff to the last.



The Science of Balance: PG, VG and Flavour Creation

Finding the right balance between PG and VG is a science in itself, and it's essential for creating a pleasurable vaping experience tailored to different preferences and devices.

  • Propylene glycol (PG) is thinner in consistency and excellent at carrying flavour. It also delivers a more pronounced throat hit, similar to the sensation of smoking traditional cigarettes. This makes high-PG liquids ideal for those using mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices or for vapers who prioritise sharp flavour definition.
  • Vegetable glycerine (VG) is thicker and naturally sweeter. It’s known for producing dense, billowing vapour clouds, which is why it’s favoured by cloud chasers and sub-ohm vapers. High-VG liquids offer a smoother inhale and are easier on the throat, making them perfect for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping setups.

A 50/50 mix of PG and VG strikes a middle ground, offering good vapour production without sacrificing flavour or throat hit, and is compatible with most devices.


Crafting Flavours: Nature, Chemistry, and Innovation

Flavour creation in e-liquids is both an art and a precise science. Flavourists (or “mixologists”) use a combination of natural, artificial, and sometimes nature-identical flavourings to achieve complex profiles that are both enjoyable and safe for inhalation.


Here are some of the methods used to create the flavours we love:

  • Natural flavour extracts – Derived directly from fruits, herbs, spices, or other natural sources through processes like cold pressing or distillation. These extracts lend authenticity to fruit and botanical flavours but can be more expensive and sometimes less stable in e-liquid form.
  • Artificial flavour compounds – Created synthetically in laboratories, these allow for precise flavour control and consistency. They’re widely used to recreate flavours that may be impractical or impossible to extract naturally—like candy, dessert, or beverage-inspired notes.
  • Nature-identical flavourings – These are chemically identical to natural flavour molecules but are synthesised for consistency, cost-effectiveness, and purity. They offer the best of both worlds—natural taste with reliable performance.
  • Flavour layering – Mixologists build depth by layering top, middle, and base notes. For example, a fruit blend might start with a zesty citrus top note, have a sweet berry middle, and finish with a cool minty base for a refreshing exhale. Each note interacts differently with PG and VG, so precise formulation is key.
  • Steeping and maturation – Some e-liquids are allowed to steep over time, enabling the flavours to meld and deepen—similar to ageing fine wine. This can soften harsh edges and enhance complexity.


Ultimately, the goal of mixology is to create an immersive, multi-sensory experience—whether it’s the nostalgic comfort of a creamy vanilla custard or the bold zing of tropical fruit with a menthol twist.


By understanding the science of PG/VG ratios and the craft of flavour blending, vapers can appreciate the incredible skill and innovation behind every bottle. It’s not just about satisfying cravings—it’s about experiencing flavour in its most creative form.
