100% PG Juice and Cartomizer Life ? ? ?

[Memphis Weirdo]

Does anyone vape 100% PG?

Everyone says that VG is bad for cartomizers and shortens their lifespan, so 100% PG would seem to be the healthiest option for cartos, but would there be a noticeable difference in cartomizer lifespan between using 100% PG or mixing in 10%-20% VG?

What is it like to vape 100% PG?

(Obviously, I'm trying to maximize the life of my cartomizers.)

I vape 100% PG juice. My cartos do last longer than my juice that's 60pg/40vg. I didn't notice a huge difference with juice that's 80/20 or even 70/30. I just noticed the difference with my 60/40 juice. That's a bit on the thick side.

I vape 100% PG juice.

How would you describe the difference between vaping 100% PG versus a mixture with maybe 20% VG in it?

I know that there is supposed to be less vapor with PG, but is the vaping sensation harsher with 100% PG, or anything like that?

OK, you're going to think there's something wrong with me since I've been vaping the same juice since the day I started vaping-

I was under the impression that my juice was 80pg/20vg up until last week when someone posted about using the same juice I did but wanted something with VG. I corrected them, and decided to look into it again myself and realized they were right and I was wrong.

Long embarrassing story short, I must have about 20 bottles of juice (minimum) and never knew it was all PG. I do have other PG juice from when I got my kit that's super thin and to me very harsh. So I guess I don't notice a difference. What I like about my juice (besides the awesome taste) is that it tastes exactly the same regardless of how I use it- tanks, dual coil cartos. My juices with VG the taste is diminshed in tanks and the dual coil cartos.

The juice I vape is from nhaler and it's on the thicker side. Another reason I didn't think it was all PG. The fruit flavors I get from Vapor Bomb taste better to me with VG. They just don't hold up as well in the dual coil cartos. At least my peach juice doesn't.

I highly recommend his juice. But he only has nhale/xhale juice in 24 mg. His high voltage juice is 12 mg.

I find my stuffing-type cartos seem to work well longer w/ thin clear juices (20% VG or less). However, medium or high nic in 100% PG can be irritation since nic is a skin irritant and PG lets through the most TH and irritation. So that is something to watch for with juices that are all or mostly PG. Also, 100% PG juices make weaker visible vapor that usually disappears quicker.
