Confused on Blend Percentages

[TxArrow]

I'm about to order some more juice, but I'm confused about the percentages. The vendor I'm ordering from doesn't sell a 70/30 blend. The juice I'm using now is 70/30, would it better better to go with 80/20 or 65/35? I'm using a eGo-T with a Vivi Nova 2.5. The 70/30 is doing okay for me (noob), but I want to make sure I order the percentage that will vape the best with the setup I have.

Ok it is all a matter of preference. I myself would go the 65/35 BUT that is just because I LIKE the increased amount of vapor that comes from higher PG levels. The 80/20 is going to be a thinner juice so less tilting and swirling to get the wicks wet though. Frankly, I like to suggest new vapors try several different blends. You never know you might just like something better.

I think it would be hard to tell much difference in a 5 - 10% swing one way or the other. In my case I prefer 50/50 so I would order the mix with more VG.

I think I'll order one 80/20 and one 65/35 and see which one I like better. In my mind the 5% seemed close enough, but I'll take Myrany's suggestion and try them both and see which one I prefer. Thank you for the fast responses.

70/30 seems to be a good blend of flavor/thickness/vapor. Im like Dvx67 with the 50/50 blend because i like the clouds that come out with more vg.

When in doubt about ordering juice from a new vendor, I choose one of the following:

1. Go with the one the juice vendor recommends. Many mixologists will state which ratio they get the best results from or recommend the ratio most of their customers use.

2. You can't go wrong with a 50/50 pg/vg blend IMO. You can generally be assured you'll get plenty of flavor and vapor production.

On a side note, I once ordered two bottles of my favorite flavor from a vendor that I often order from. One was a 50/50 blend, the other was 100% vg. I vaped them side by side in identical cartomizers in identical pyrex cartotanks. I was not able to determine any difference in flavor or vapor production between the two. My conclusion from just this one experiment was that I, as an individual, am not able to tell the difference in different ratio's of e-liquid. Granted, your mileage may vary.
