PG / VG ratio

[wakerider]

Been vaping for about a month now, and mostly ordered from Juicy. They have a PG/VG mix, but doesn't say what %. I want to make an order from Mt. Baker, and they have multiple options. I read through a bunch of other posts and saw some people were ordering 50/50, but their house blend is 80/20. Not sure what I want.

Also, anyone familiar with MBV, do you recommend extra flavor shots? Specifically: Green Apple, Banana Nut Bread, and Rad Bull, maybe some others as well. I realize it is preference, just looking for some input.

If it matters, it will be in a Vivi Nova Mini on a Twist.

Hi

This is kind of basic info: https://www.ecblendflavors.com/throat-hit-vapor-and-consistancy/

This is vendor specific, but it might be of interest: About Extra and Double Extra Flavors

ETA: I'm not recommending ECB over Mt. Baker, they just have more info in their site. I haven't ordered from Mt. Baker, but they were very nice in e-mails when I had questions about their products.

Thank you, very helpful.

Mt. Baker Vapor has been my go to for liquid for awhile now. I always go with 50/50 and never get any extra flavor shots. I use Vivi Novas and cartos and have never had wicking issues with the liquid. 80/20 just doesn't give off enough vapor for my liking. Don't let the cheap prices sway your view on them, they have quality liquid. They've always shipped out the next business day as well. They also throw in a free 15ml bottle (of their choice) when you order over a certain amount.

I haven't tried any of those flavors you mentioned, so I can't help there.

I will recommend trying some of their Extreme Ice liquid. I used to hate menthol liquids until I tried it. It's like menthol and wintergreen mixed together, just read the reviews on it.

For coupons try vaporfrombaker or ecf10off (not sure if that one still works).

Generally speaking, the higher the VG, the more vapor will be produced. The trade-off is the VG mutes the flavors a bit. When I get MBV liquids I get 20pg/80VG and at least 3 extra flavor shots to account for the high VG.

If you like a hard throat hit you want the high PG mixes. I personally don't care for a huge throat hit since I vape 18-24mg nic and that has a bit of a kick to it all on its own.

VG is thicker than PG so you might want to think about that and how it relates to the device you are using. I use Kangar T2s and T3s and they seem to handle the high VG juices just fine for me.

i mainly get 80/20 from mt baker. i always tend to get the extra flavor shot. they do ship fast, and i reccomend steeping a few days. never tried the flavors you mentioned, but i highly suggest their caramel candy if that appeals to you. call them for the best answers. they are one of the vendors that seems to be really hands on with their service. prices are awesome as well!

I either order 80/20 or 50/50 from Mt Baker. I've mixed some 100% VG that I use every day as well. I like the extra vapor production and thicker feeling when exhaling. With Mt Bakers great prices, just try a little of both and see what you like best. You may like different mixtures for different flavors.

A couple of sites I purchased liquid from usually makes it 70/30... I believe that's the norm but I thinks its mostly personal peference!

It's very personal preference. The people who turned me on to vaping all told me to go 100% PG, but I after trying things out myself I like VG. I couldn't really tell you why I like VG, I just prefer it (after trying a few things). It's like coke versus pepsi. Try a few, if you find one you like, stick with it, if not, try a few more.

Also, keep in mind that thicker juices don't always wick very well, especially in clearo/tanks like the Viva Nova.
