Hey there, been browsing vapor4life, I think the Vapor King is gonna be my first e-cig. I was wondering though, is there much difference between "normal" cartomizers and VG cartomizers?
Another newbie question

This is my first post. During the holiday period, my Father, Mother, and I all started using v4l products after some intense internet research!
When you mean "Is there a difference", the only difference between the VG cartomizer and vapor king cartomizers is the liquid inside of the cartomizer. VG stands for "Vegetable Glycerin".
There are three main ingredients in a cartomizer liquid. Food grade flavoring, nicotine (optional), and PG or VG.
PG stands for Propylene Glycol. VG and/or PG make up the majority of the liquid. These two can be mixed, or separate.
These liquids are what produce the "vapor"
There are different characteristics to each chemical as well. Some people may argue or dispute these traits, but from what I have read/experienced:
PG: Produces less vapor then VG. PG has a better throat "hit", "bite", or "kick". Some say PG can carry a flavor better as well.
VG: More vapor which dissapated slower. VG has less throat hit, and tends to be smoother. It is also slightly sweet tasting.
Some people are sensitive to PG, and even allergic.
Common symptoms can be but not limited to runny nose, sore throat, slight cough, acne, headaches, respitory irritation, ect.
I do not know the numbers, but it appears this number is not very large.
If you are interested in more information, just search the forums, as there are plenty of topics on the two chemicals!
Moving on, good choice with the Vapor king! I couldn't be happier. Welcome to the family, you will soon know what it REALLY means to be SMILIN!

I find that PG irritates my throat when I take a large hit and has a hotter vapor. VG is a cooler vapor and is very smooth. It also seems to produce more vapor.
I switch off between the two every day (I bought a lot of different ejuices and am experimenting with them all).

For an easy way to check, find someplace (nightclub, skating rink, etc) that has a smoke machine. That smoke is pg, if it bothers you be sure to order vg.
