on my cigalike batteries i've almost always used 100% vg and 2 days ago now i grabbed a 5 ml bottle of unknown composition out of my drawer. It's leading me to believe its got a higher in pg due to the reduced vapor. I'll also mention that its a bit lighter in color as well. I've noticed that my batteries are lasting significantly longer and the carto seems much better too. so my questions are basically these. First with the wicking issues i've heard of on the other delivery devices, are there any that can actually handle vg with ease? Second, why does anybody bother unless they have a pg allergy?

Several reasons hausmouse, - some just love the vapor clouds of 100% VG; some liquids are only available in 100% VG. Not sure about the battery life, could be you're taking shorter vapes as the other advantage of PG is that there's a greater TH (throat hit). I'll let other folk weigh in on the best carto set up for you as I'm not familiar with cigalikes. (For myself I'm VG all the way because I do have a bad hacking and coughing reaction to PG and get a raw throat). Maybe try a 50/50 to get the best of both worlds of throat hit, fuller flavor, clouds of vapor and thinner liquid? 
i'm thinking this is a 50 because the vapor hangs a bit but not like vg and its definitely not like straight pg. it's pecan roll and i almost didn't use it but its not bad after 4 hours or so. the throat hit is definitely better. it'll be my backup in a week or so depending on shipping times. Man i had cartos that would just be gone in a day with that vg. i had one last a total of 6 hours. this one is on day two and not a change so i just don't see why all the bother. the only reason i didnt switch is because i was dead stuck on the one flavor and wasn't switching but my eyes are open now
I think they do have a PG base for that one, there's only a couple with pg but that is one if I recall. In fact it sounds so good, I may have to go try some (with the VG option)
oh man its great for me other than my issues. however i tried there domestic in their standard line of pg juices and it leaked. yes i know how to fill a cart. i mention because everybody asks but man it would just leak out of the mouth side or just draw into my mouth on a low and slow draw. Back in the day when i used a blu, well before they used jc in their carts or mentioned it i used it and fell in love with jc and never wanted another and thats why i went back but i guess i find they just dont work the same for me now. i'm guessing too high pg making it too thin for the brand of carts i'm using. i really find it hard to believe that carts would have that tight of a tolerance though.
Well hopefully tomorrow you'll get some good advice on the perfect cart for your fave juice. Wish I could tell you more, but it would be a lotta ol' hogwash as I'm not familiar with the things, I'm a kanger T2 clearo person. I wonder if you could "cut" your juice with a bit of PG which is available from most e-cig sites?
Tennessee Cured is actually the one flavor that Johnson Creek carries in both 100% PG and 100% VG so you actually have a choice with that flavor.
That being said, this was my #1 juice until I realized how much cheaper other vendors are.
Oh and I gave up on putting 100% VG in clearo's. I use carts only simply because I get sick of the wicking issues... and I'm also a 100%VG guy cuz PG makes my throat raw.

I have some on its way for my diy operation but the problem is i'd probably drop the flavor. i dont have that much of it left so i guess i'm gonna chalk it up as experience and say it got me away from smoking again, i enjoyed the flavor and it was a worthwhile lesson.
pg is too thin for my carts. they are definitely expensive but not the most expensive and really they are quality and they have a lot of quality control in there so i think thats some of that cost factor but you know every time you order from jc your getting what you ordered and what you paid for. If they offered a 50/50 i'd probably order another bottle or two while i'm diying it because they are so good.
You can get 1 bottle in 100% pg and 1 in 100% vg and in a empty bottle mix 1/2 of each
and you will get and have your juice in a 50/50 pg/vg

If you can find a more expensive one let me know... they're the most expensive I've seen. I got a bad batch of TC from them and that's when I jumped ship. Dad used only JC for 9 months and was right off the ship behind me lol. Not trying to hate on them I love their juice and they were a big part of the reason I was able to quit. Just saying there's other options.
Why don't you just order a bottle of PG and a bottle of VG and mix them up? Voila!

hmm never really crossed my mind... so now do i want to spend more today on top of the 270 on vape stuff i already have. i really dont know if i want a 400 week. yeah i know some of you can clear that easy but thats hard earned hard spent.
Cause to me pg tastes like crap. I dont like the harshness. I didnt smoke cheap cigarettes when I smoked though occasionally I would bum one from a friend when I was out. Cheap brands of cigarettes to me were always extremely harsh and thats what pg reminds me of. I find the vg is much closer to a "light" cigarette in consistency and vapor production.
As far as the batteries lasting longer.....I dont know what to tell you on that.I use 18650's in my Provari and get 12-14 hours out of it with 3 ohm cartos and 10/90 pg/vg juice.
The draw through a carto is a bit better with higher pg juices but it really all boils down to personal preference.
IMO of the two juices vegetable glycerine seems like it would naturally be the healthier of the two but there havent been any long term studies to confirm that one way or another.
