mg: milligram (in this case refers to the amount of nicotine per milliliter of e-liquid and equates approx to percentage ie 16mg is approx equal to 1.6% nicotine)

PG/VG: the proportion of propylene glycol to vegetable glycerine in the e-liquid. Higher ratios eg 80%/20% produce more vapour, while a 50%/50% ratio carries the flavour better and is suitable for regular vaping.

PG: propylene glycol. Thin, clear and tasteless, and provides the throat hit.

VG: vegetable glycerine. Thicker, and has a naturally sweet taste that can blend into the flavour of the e-liquid. Has less throat hit, is responsible for the vapour (cloudz) production

Chest/Lung Hit: Feeling in your chest of vapour filling it up (varies based on liquid content)

Throat Hit (TH): Feeling in your throat caused by vapour being inhaled (varies with nicotine level, atomizer type and liquid content/flavor)
