Hello All!
I think I'm having an allergic reaction to the PG in my favorite juice. So I've decided to try VG juice. I am concerned about losing TH and flavor. However, how do you vape it? I know it's too thick to use in cartos. I also know you could drip it directly into the atomizer, but I'm on the go alot and I'm not about to drip and drive. Is it too thick to use in the cartridge?
I have an Ego-T, so I was thinking of just using the cartridge and atomizer set-up. I can do this right?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Kallie

I too had allergic reactions to PG. I now use Johnsons Creek Red Oak, 100% VG....but I do add
a little PG to it to get the effect that I like. I have PG, with no nic and I add a few drops to
my 3mg mix of JC tobacco and another juice, with cinnamon (for my menthol kick). This helps
the VG juice run a little thinner and the throat hit aspect that I did like with the PG. This
small amount does not effect me prior reactions at all to the PG.
I use only cartomizers.

I have no idea where I'm at
Some members use vodka or everclear to thin and increase TH. Distilled water (DW) is something that I use to thin out the liquid a bit for the tank to feed better, but remember, if it is too thin, then you might start getting leaks. Do the wick mod, wich will increase flow, and try a bit of everclear to thin. I started mixing my own now and the suggestions have been 80/20 (VG/DW). Pretty much flavors are mostly PG based, although there are a few VG based ones, but not as many. I am in the process of trying to convert to as close to 100%VG right now. But if the flavoring is PG, an I am only using 5% then I can get close to a 95/5 VG/PG.

Just remember that you might have to take harder draws using a more viscus (sic) liquid in the tank system.

Hope that helps

Saludos

Look up AVE they are supposed to be 100%VG on most of there juices. I use Gorilla juice and BB in a Carto and it works fine.
I have problems with PG also but vape AVE's hype and it has PG flavoring and does not seem to bother me in such a small amount. I tried Virgin Vapor and they great flavors just none that I like as much as Gorilla Juice. Good luck and hope the 100%VG helps you enjoy your vaping experience.

Less than 2%? Who made it? If they are using a VG flavor, which I doubt, then you only have 2% flavoring. Doesn't sound right. Add some DW or Everclear to thin then. Even veteran DIYers can't get 98%VG, at least in more that a handfull of flavors.

I get my juice from cignot. It's their BASIC line of juices. It's all VG on the website but on the label it says it may contain a small amount of PG, less then 2%. The ingredients list is VG, alcohol and flavoring. I don't remember if it said anything about distiller water. I'm not at home to look at the bottle

PG gives me heartburn...I've been making my own e liquid for well over a year (always 100% VG base) and a friend turned me onto pink spot, which tastes great, but after a few days I began to associate the heartburn after vaping the juice that contains an undisclosed amount of PG. No more PG for me!!! I'll stick with my own concoctions from now on unless juices advertise that they are 100% VG

That's actually kinda funny... I'm a hard, heavy hitter..and I've had a few people tell me I'm burning my cardos with my style. Do you think they're wrong? And others say only 5%.. you think 20% DW?

I wouldn't mix it by the bottle until you know how much your going to add.

If you don't have a small bottle, use the cartomizer condom. Put some juice in the condom, a few drops of water and fill your carto. Too much water will dilute the flavoring. So experiment a bit before you mix a large amount.
