100% VG juice and your experience with it. Please share

[Rostam]

Hello to all!

Do any of you vape 100% VG? If so, how has that changed the way you feel during/after vaping?Did you start 100 VG because of a PG allergy or for another reason?

What's your ideal device and wattage for that for that type of juice?

I'm going to be trying some 85/15 for the first time and want to eventually try 100 VG and was wondering what's everyone's experience with it. I don't have a PG allergy, not that I know of, but I do get a little more tired than I'd like to when vaping, so I was thinking of changing the VG/PG ratio to see if that helps at all.

I know everyone's different, so I'm not expecting just one answer, more so wanting to know overall what the community thinks.

Thank you for sharing.

I did it ‘cause it was quick and cheap, and I didn’t care if I gained weight. It works fine. Theres no real changes hardware wise.

Thank you for the reply. That's interesting about the weight aspect, I didn't know about that. Happy to hear I wouldn't need any different hardware. I'm going to give it shot.

Thanks again

The weight thing revolves around VG having a good number of calories.

 

[bombastinator]

VG will produce more “smoke”. It’s also a whit more friendly absorption wise.

The weight thing revolves around VG having a good number of calories.

1 gram of Vegetable Glycerin has has about 4.3 Calories. Hence 10 grams => about 43 Calories.

1 gram of Vegetable Glycerin is about 0.79 Milliliters of volume. Hence 10 grams => about 7.9ml.

So if one was to Vape about 8ml's of 100% VG e-Liquid a day, and they received All of the Calories from the VG e-Liquid (which the Don't), then they would receive a about 43 additional Calories to their Normal Diet.

Midway thru my Vaping career I dabbled with 100% VG e-Liquids. I found three things happened verses my normal 75 ~ 80% favorites.

One is that Yes, the Vapor production increased. But at the Expense of Flavor. All my mixes seemed to loose their crispness.

I also notice that the number of Dry Hits I received went from about Zero to Occasionally. And when they happened, they were Brutally Worse.

The Last thing I notice was a Heaviness in my Lungs. Kinda like that feeling after you've had the Flu, and you're not quite full back to normal. It was major. But it was Noticeable.

So to Me, the small Benefit of seeing More Vapor was more than Offset by the Decreased Flavor and the Heavy Lungs.

I was vaping over 30 at one point. So more or less 1 small meal. It’s all about how much

I’ve run a few bottles of 100 VG through pods and RTAs. My takeaways:


• Wicking matters way more. VG is thick, so stock coils can struggle. I get fewer dry hits with mesh pods or RTAs with big wick ports and fluffy but not packed cotton. Rayon also keeps up well.
• Power down a touch. The same coil that’s happy at 25 W on 70/30 might prefer ~20–22 W on 100 VG. Slower, longer pulls help.
• Prime longer. I let new coils sit a good 20–30 minutes and start with short pulses.
• Flavor shifts. Mouthfeel is great and dense, but some mixes lose “crispness.” Fruit and mint usually hold up better for me than bakery. A tiny bit of distilled water (1–3%) or a splash of PG can brighten flavor and improve wicking if you’re mixing.
• Coils gunk faster if the juice is sweet. I plan on more frequent swaps or dry burns on rebuildables.
• Throat feel is softer. If you miss hit, consider a little higher nic or salts at a lower strength to keep the smoothness.
• “Heaviness” can happen for some. Staying hydrated helps. If you notice chest heaviness, I’d back down to 80/20 or 70/30.


If you’re stepping up from 85/15, try that first on your usual setup and nudge wattage down a bit. If it runs clean for a tank or two, then test 100 VG in the same device. For pods, the XROS/Caliburn mesh pods with larger wicking inlets have been the most forgiving for me. For rebuildables, a simple 2.5–3.0 mm ID coil with slightly thinned tails keeps up fine.


Curious what device you’ll use. If you share the coil and wattage you like now, folks can give more dialed-in numbers.

I personally don't get along well with pg. My preferred solution was adding a bit of distilled water to the vg. 3-6% works well for me. Try just a couple drops at a time in your tank, shake and vape.

 

[GeorgeS]

Personally I don't like PG. Never used it.

Generally I'm @ %100 VG. However ~1/2 my nicotine stash is @ 50/50 so when mixing from that source SOME PG gets in my vape.

As others have mentioned VG is THICK and as such does not wick well. I'll add ~%10+ water to my mixes to thin it out.

Generally I use single coil 2-3MMID & 6-8 wraps @ 15-20W with single strand 26-30AWG NIFE48/52.

I do have a number of twin coil rigs in my rotation, these I'll fire with 2x power (25-35W) however will generally use dual battery mods instead of single battery mods.

Usually vape @ ~320-400F depending on which flavor I'm using.

I only use Sallys Rayon for wick.

I used to be 100%VG. It’s a bit cheaper, and is a lot less likely to produce allergic reactions. But I developed high blood pressure and needed to lose weight. VG is basically flipped karo syrup. As such it’s pretty caloric. These days it’s more like 1/5th VG. Pure PG isn’t great. It’s a major reason that disposables are not great.. There are lots, but that is one.

Interesting perspective.

While I'm borderline Diabetic, it is rather doubtful that I'd ever consider the debatable calories that I might be getting via Vaping a %100 VG mix vs the handful of hard candies or other items I ingest daily.

Of course everyone is free to pick their own battles. LOL!!!

I don’t know if they’re sugars or if they are digested as carbs like agave syrup. If they are it shouldn’t be much of an issue. My problem is literally weight, rather than pancreatic stuff, so it’s a bit different. I have to do everything I can. Cigarettes have a rep for being good for weight loss. VG more or less stops that, but that’s it.

Ok, so I'll agree to disagree. Vaping VG has nothing to do with it.

Case in point: I've lost ~60Lbs while vaping %100 VG.

NOT because of what I'm vaping or not, but rather my food/calorie intake & levels of activity. Period.

I'd encourage anyone wishing to loose weight to talk with a health care professional about safe and reliable ways to accomplish your weight loss goals.

I do not disagree, but are you disagreeing about VG being a major, and the only potential source of calories? Or with smoking being used to suppress weight gain? All of it? It is not clear what you are disagreeing with if it is only part.

 

[GeorgeS]

The question becomes a matter of "impact" vs anything and everything else.

What amount of calories per day do you think you can consume via vaping (ALL DAY LONG!)? A FRACTION of a calorie? A handful of calories? A few 100? 1000's??? More?

Given a standard calorie ingestion range of 500-2000+ calories a day diet how much if any would or could vaping effect the over all number?

I would/will define a 'meaningful impact' as GREATER THAN %10. Thus placing the LOW end being 50 or more calories a day with a 500 calorie a day diet and 200 or more calories a day with a 2K calories a day diet.

Now please calculate the VOLUME of vaping JUICE that is required to be absorbed by your breathing system (nose/sinus/throat/lungs/exc) to obtain >=50 calories ingested by vaping.

We'll wait.

See?

Just for fun I asked "GoogleAI" the following:

How many calories does 30ml of Vegetable glycerin have?

30 ml of vegetable glycerin hasapproximately 132 to 133 calories.

This is based on the following:
* Vegetable glycerin containsapproximately 4.4 calories per gram.
* The density of vegetable glycerin isapproximately 1.26 g/ml.
* Therefore, 30 ml of vegetable glycerin weighs about 30 ml * 1.26 g/ml = 37.8 grams.
* The total calories are 37.8 grams *4.4 calories/gram = 166.32 calories.

However, some sources list slightlydifferent values for nutrition labeling purposes, such as:

* A serving size of 1 fluid ounce(which is 30 ml, or about 30 grams by a less precise measure)contains 132 calories.

* Other nutritional data per 100 gramslists 440 kcal, which would equate to 132 calories for 30 ml (30g).

* The FDA labeling guidelines typicallyclassify glycerin as a carbohydrate with 4.32 calories per gram fornutritional labels. Using this value with the actual density (37.8g)gives about 163.3 calories.

* The most commonly cited value innutritional data for 30 ml (or 1 fluid ounce) is around 132 calories.

Of course ALL the above are ASSUMING the COMPLETE INGESTION of the ENTIRE 30ML of vegetable glycerin while vaping which everyone knows the MAJORITY of what is breathed in is exhaled.

Again, one would need to vape QUITE A LOT of vegetable glycerin a day to make any meaningful difference in their overall calorie intake.

Is somebody swilling down pints of eliquid?

I do enjoy consuming a drip or two and sometimes test the pleasant flavor of some creations.
But never thought of having a pint or two.

Otherwise, I don't think it would be accurate to attribute all vg vaping calories to actually consuming the liquid. The vapor will coat the mouth, throat, sinuses, nostrils etc with the vg. The majority of the vg probably could not be digested.

It does, however, result in a nice coat of glycerin on the tissues it passes through.
Leaving it all nice and silky smooth with a nice fruity aroma.

With me it was mid hundreds. Enough to ruin a diet
