PG/VG Question

[GaryInTexas]

I just started vaping with my eGo C a few days ago with some juice I got from Mt. Baker. So far things are going well with that. In reading these forums I understand the more VG the more vapor, but my question is what does increasing the VG do the vaping flavor and experience. My juices are all 80/20 PG/VG at 24mg nic. It tends to have a minor bite after a few vapes. Would going to a 60/40 blend smooth it out some while maintaining the same nic levels I need?

you will notice a bit off a drop in flavor but believe it or not in less than half a day vaping the new blend you will be just as happy as u were with the 80/20 blend. also order the smallest available size just in case things does not work the way u hoped for them to

Nic level is not determined by either PG or VG. Some people vape 100% VG, the largest PG ratio I've seen is 80% but I'm sure that may even go up to 100%. Others may chime in with more experience on that. The Nic juice that is deluded with either PG or VG and flavoring is available in both PG and VG. So in reality any ratio of PG to VG can be created at any Nic level.

Appreciate that info. I learned in RYO to order only in small quantities until you find that magic bullet. It sounds like to drop the PG a little I should probably add additional flavor hits to the mix.

Juices are available from 100% PG to 100% VG and in 10% increments between the two. 80pg/20vg is a popular choice among vapers, as is 70pg/30vg. Lots of vapers are into 60/40 and 50/50. Many like all VG for the vapor production and smoothness of the throat hit. 100% VG can be thinned with a small amount of water without affecting the vape. A few drops at a time is the safe way to do it. Some add 10% water to a thick juice from what I understand. Plain PG itself is typically 10% water when purchased.

100% PG is known for more flavor and throat hit. 100% VG is known for smoothness in the vapor, but with a little less flavor concentration. Most like a mix of the two.

Looks at the polling results of 417 ECF vapers here in bar chart format. We could use more input to this poll, BTW.

Thank you for the polling data. I think I'll try some 70/30 next. I'm not too far off with the 80/20, would just like to slightly smooth it out.

Everyone settles on a mix that suits them. You might miss out on the perfect one for you if you don't try a few. It's interesting to listen to 100% PG people discuss mixes with 100% VG people.
