ok, does using less VG make more vapor, than adding alot of VG?

[MickiO]

I was reading on one of the e-cig forums about VG, and someone said, when you use a lesser amount of Vegetable Glycercin, it will produce thicker clouds of vapor, than if you add alot, The blog said, that too much VG actually starts to thin the mix. down and will produce a thinner vapor??

EDIT: the blog said, using only 15% produces the best, and the heaviest, thickest vapor, than using say 50% or 70% VG . It was basically saying, that using more than 15% was too much,


Do you NEED to add PG to Vegetable Glycerin, to get that great thick vapor clouds?.


I'm mixing with unflavored 100mg VG, and then cutting it with more VG, and just adding a small amount of flavoring.

I'm using around 80% or 90%VG overall(depending on whether I used 10% or 20% flavoring)

If I added some PG, and used a lesser amount of VG, does that work better?



I just wondered if there is any truth to this, that mixing with less VG and cutting it down with PG, produces thicker clouds of vapor, than ugin large amounts of VG?.

You got it all wrong, VG makes thicker clouds then PG but VG is a thicker liquid so it can easily block your attys so you want to cut it, either with PG, PGA or distilled water

I realize VG makes thicker clouds than pg, but some people say too using MUCH,
VG actually thins the vapor, and that using smaller amount of it produces thicker vapor.

EDIT: the blog said, using only 15% produces the best, and the heaviest, thickest vapor, than using say 50% or 70% VG It said using more than 15% was too much, sorry, guess I should have been more specific

the vg juice i have (well, its marketed as all vg anyway) produces plumes of vapor.

I have discovered that the best combination for me is 30/70 VG/PG. This produces great vapor and is thick enough not to run through and flood my atty.

Michelle, I don't know where you saw that adding more VG thins the juices, but that is wrong. Adding more thick makes more thick. There is no threshold for this. I do not use PG at all, other than the little bit that is in flavorings. My juices are VG, nic, about 10% flavor, about 20% distilled water. I get massive vapor, good TH which is only from nic, and good flavor.

There is no "best" juice recipe. Some people love a PG/VG mix. Some love a PG juice. Some, like me, prefer a VG juice. VG is thicker than PG, so more VG will make more vapor...until it is too thick to vape well, and then it will just clog and not make much vapor, but that is because it is too thick, not too thin. Juices do have to be thin enough to function well.

Hope this helps.

Also, with respect to another post you had, I would definitely look into getting a syringe for DIY mixing. Drops vary in size depending on the viscosity of the liquid, and syringes are fast, accurate and safer if you are dealing with 100 mg nic juice. Scubabatdan's e-juice calculator takes all the math thinking out of it, just enter the values of what your high-nic juice is, and %s you want of flavor and water, and amount of juice to be made, and it breaks it all down into mL of each component. Easy, fast, and reproducible.

might those huge clouds be partially due to the water vapour. water will be the first thing that is vapourized. possibly causing a clogged atomizer.

VG by it self can hardly make vapor if it is pure you need to thinner but the vapor is thicker than PG

Thanks guys, sorry I didn't post back sooner, I never got any e-mail notification to let me know that I had more posts on my thread. That's happened a few times this week, I had answers to my posts I didn't know about til I actually checked my threads, Just have to check my threads more often I guess, lol

Ast_Isis: When I have some PG, I'll try that, thanks.

Thanks Kurt, for the info, The article I read stated that around 15% VG made for the most densest, thickest, vapor production, in tests, and according to their experiments, the more VG was added to the mix, the less dense, and the more thin the vapor, They concluded that the more VG added over 15 to 20% max, the more it dropped.

Weird I know, just I don't have PG to experiment with, ha, so I thought I'd ask if there was any truth to it.

Thanks for all the info guys

IDK I have some all vg liquid from americanEliquidstore that produces more vapor than any other liquid I have.
