Do You Like VG or PG and Why?

[hlk]

I have tried lot's of blends but my favorite is all VG.
I suppose it depends somewhat on where you are getting the juice from and if the supplier
has the flavor you want..

I am pretty hooked on the vaperite.com organic vanilla and butterscotch flavors myself.
I find they produce plenty of vapor and don't see the need for PG.

I also have this feeling that VG might be a better choice healthwise (even though I have no
evidence to support this).

Just wondering how others feel about this?

...my first juice was all PG...way to harsh and not a lot of vapor...went to an 80PG/20VG and it tamed the harsh and upped the vapor and I was happy...got some 85%VG and loved it but it is hard to load into a carto without a syringe and it gave me a "froggy" throat...I am now vaping a 60%VG juice and it is da bomb for me...no froggy throat, loads/wicks easily into a carto and all that lovely vapor...we have a winnnnnaahhhhh............

it all depends on what time of day it is... first thing in the morning i like that heavy kick in the throat and warm hit in the lungs....i go with a higher PG level at that time....my all day vape is usually a 50/50 mix..lots of th and plenty of vapor

at the end of the night i go back to the higher pg level.

I's in the 30% PG | 70% VG Crowd.

I'm not looking for TH. In fact, I would rather have Minimal TH.

I like Vapor. When I see a Huge Plume it tells my Brain that I just got a Good Hit. I also like Sweet e-Liquids so VG is kinda a Win - Win.

Always was 100%pg vapor but lately i been useing syringe and experimenting with 75%pg and 25%vg as the throat hit is not as strong.
Im getting old...lol

50/50 PG/VG minimum for me... VG gives a thicker vapor, and I can feel it on the inhale/exhale... don't know how to quite explain it, but it gives the vapor more body, and if I vape a PG-dominant juice, the vape feels too thin.

 

[Scottinboca]

I tend to stick to higher pg juices b/c I find I get more life out of my cartos due to it being thinner.

I use 80/20 PG/VG but only because i like cartomisers. If i could use 100VG in cartos i'd be in vaping heaven because i love thick vapor i get from VG.

More than 50% PG and I can't vape it more than 1 fill without ending up with an itchy irritated throat and mouth. I suspect I have a sensitivity to it.

I tend to prefer 100% VG juice, but it really plays havoc on my hardware. My sweet spot tends to be a mix of 70% or 80% VG to 20-30% PG. Especially if it's some sort of fruity flavor - the PG kicks up the sweetness just a touch.

I don't think any flavoring, and that's really what your talking about was intended to be inhaled as vapor. They were made to be ingested.

I think you need the vape the juice you like. There have been more studies done with PG and inhalation. Not so much with VG. VG is heavier, denser. I can't vape high VG, I feel like I have a weight on my chest. Some people find PG irritating. Vape whichever one you like.

I don't think because you throw in the word 'organic' or 'vegetable' it means one is healthier than the other.

I use 100% VG because, for me, it's all about the lung hit. That heavy feeling in your chest as you inhale. I prefer minimal throat hit.
I think 100% VG does take a toll on hardware but this can be reduced somewhat with judicious use of distilled water. Also, even if I go through twice as many atties/cartos it still works out cheaper than smoking.

One particular juice, or the only juice that I've vaped for over a month now is 70/30 PG/VG. Works well in my carto, gives me good TH and vaper. I'm a happy camper with this juice.

With that said, when I DIY and go with a blend of 70/30 PG/VG, I get a harsh TH. Like I'm inhaling fiberglass or something. I cut it to 60/40 and I'm happy again. Not sure how it will act in my carto though and have yet to create a flavor that I want to use a carto for.

I've only seen a clogging issue when using the all VG in a dual coil cartomizer ( polyfill ) with my ego.
The VG works fine in everything else I use.. My new V-mod cartos are just fine and I have been vaping really heavy
on them.. I prefer the polyfill vs the hybrid because it seems "smoother"... more of a TH with the hybrid.

Vaperite is closed till Jan 2nd and I need juice now!! who sells a good VG vanilla?

 

[Sedateme]

I've found clogging issues to be more flavor related than pg/vg related... darker/sweeter juices, regardless of pg/vg ratio, clog my stuff up faster than fruity, clear juices.

I have no wicking problems with 100% VG in cartos (though I don't always prefer it - depends on the flavor). I believe that's because I use the "Taryn spin" method to fill. I really hate syringes and don't think they do as good a job. I drip, spin, drip, spin through as many cycles as it takes (3-4) to really pack and distribute the juice. It doesn't take much time (I use the Leafor Lanyard), really does a good job, and after the initial spin I just drip now and then to keep it wet. Especially with the mega cartos and dual coils I really hope folks don't forget that trick - it's an awfully good one and seems to resolve a lot of the difficulties that new carto users encounter.

 

[AttyPops]

I use 50/50 mix for the consistency/viscosity. The VG gives me "froggy throat" also. In addition, the PG is better for flavor with some TH, and VG for vapor and to lower TH (vs 100% PG).

I think the VG is a bit harder on my lungs (after 30 years of smoking, that one last cilia in my lungs may not clear it out as well).

Polypropylene glycol sounds to much like automotive coolant...

 

[bobthesalesclerk]

100%vg for me. I have issues with vaping PG(sore throat, headache, bad dry mouth, general crummy feeling).

I try to stick with higher PG; 80/20 or 70/30. I tried a mostly VG juice once, 30/70, but I felt like it coated my throat with a weird film. It could all be in my head or maybe it was the flavoring, but it turned me off to high VG. I also use cartos, so I prefer thinner juices for easier refilling.

I vape a lot of DIY and tend to stay between 15%-30% vg. I've found that going any higher then 30% tends to wreak havoc with my *cough* intestines. I'm also very fond of a good strong throat hit.
