do you vape mostly one kind of juice (PG/VG), or all over the range?

I go all over the range. Sometimes I like throat hit and sometimes not. I even go all over the range from 6mg to 24mg nicotine depending time of day and stress levels ect.
I hate 100% pg. I'll go 70% pg / 30% vg all the way to 100% vg. I like more pg for lighter fruit flavors and more vg for sweet and tobacco. Everything else is about 50/50.
Higher vg tends to work better with dripping/rebuildables and higher pg with bccs for obvious reasons.

I find that 100% VG gets my chest feeling very heavy/congested. To the point where it feels like I'm outta breath. I do, like, an 80% PG with 20% VG, maybe 90% VS 10% and everything is okay.
Too much VG makes me feel like a cat with a hairball it can't get rid of. Just something stuck, that won't go up or down.
I always stick to 85% PG for my regular ADV; I have asthma and just can't handle much VG. With other flavors, that I only vape for a short time, I'll go as low as 70% PG, but no lower.
Everyone is always going on about mouth or throat soreness, but it's not really that big an issue; I've used PG in my asthma inhaler for 30 yrs now, and although I'm definitely getting a lot more now with vaping, that just means I need to drink more water; it doesn't make my mouth or throat sore, and it sure improves the throat hit and taste!
I really think equal time needs to be given to those with physical issues, like asthma or COPD, that make vaping too much VG really uncomfortable, if not dangerous. It's a very heavy substance; people with compromised lungs really shouldn't be inhaling too much of it.

You just reminded me to go check some juice I ordered a while back. My chest really hurt and felt tight, vaping it. I stuck it back in the drawer thinking it was me and that I'd try it again down the road. Someone else had the same trouble with the same company.
I vaped some 100vg today but that didn't seem bother me?
Checked on it and its 65/35 so not really any different to what I'm used to.
Is it pg or vg that can cause skin breakouts?

I have no idea. PG has never caused me anything except leg cramps from dehydration. VG just made my chest feel like there was something I needed to cough up, but couldn't, too tight and dry.
I think the stress of quitting cigarettes may be the culprit in skin breakouts.

what is bcc? It's also not obvious to me why higher VG work better with dripping. Can you elaborate?
it was, PG irritated my throat, so I used mostly high VG ratio blends
after several months of vaping, my throat has become somewhat conditioned
and I now can use a 50/50 blend...
I DIY and mix both 50/50 & 40/60 (PG/VG) blends in 24mg
that is what I like and what I've settled on (till the next change/phase comes along)
so to answer your question, I stick to just my (2) types of blends

kinda got me to thinking: (survey)
of the three variables, what order do you put your preference
Vapor / TH / Flavor ? ?

I've liked 80/20 since I started vaping. Only over the last few weeks I start making my own liquids. The weird part, I found, is that when I make an 80/20, it's a lot stronger than what I'm used to in throat hit, which I think is odd. I've started bringing them down just a bit to 65/35 or so. It's helped, too.
I am experimenting. Started at 100% VG, was still lung inhaling most of the time then out of habit, broke that but had that day at work where I felt like I had an elephant on my chest. Went to 80/20, then to 50/50 and will prob end up closer to the 80pg/20vg. Who knows?
I am normally a 50/50 girly but if I see a juice that is only made in 100% VG and it sounds good I will buy it and vape it no problem.
I tend to go with 50/50, most of the time. Much more pg than that, and my throat feels like I've been gargling broken glass. Less pg and it doesn't feel "full enough". Sometimes I go with straight vg, if I want to make some clouds.

Honestly with me... They all have to be equally as impressive. If a flavor is good but doesnt have throat hit I dont care for it. If it tastes good and hits good but theres little vapor, I dont want it. So I think for me the TH and Vapor are the most important about equally, maybe throat hit a wee bit more. But that doesn't mean that I'll vape any flavor as long as it hits good. I think I just went in circles there lol
