When you get a nic level that high the throat hit will be stronger, but the vapor is stronger with a higher % of vg.

What is VG?

 

[foggy1]

Vg and Pg are the bases that our juices are mixed with to vape
Read some of the stickies above for full explanations
some are allergic to one or the other, not many

VG=vegetable glycerin. It is one of two base ingredients in the e-liquid. The other is propylene glychol(SP). the higher the pg level the more throat hit, the higher the level of vg the more vapor. Most people vape with a mixture of the two, but some like 100% of one or the other.

If you want a bunch of info on vaping, look at the top of the page at the "stickies".

Oh, and welcome to ECF!

THanks for the info, can you purchase vegetable glycerin at a vitamin shop? I'm looking for a heavy vapor output for my vapor king.

VG is sold at walmart, pharmacies and places like Michael's. It is used is cooking things like desserts. VG will reduce the flavor in the juice, though.

Look for Glycerin at Walmart, on the shelf above the rubbing alcohol products in the pharmacy section. It's a 6 ounce bottle for $3.00. That is vegetable glycerine or VG. You don't need to add much, though, to get more vapor. Like, up to 20% or less of your total mixture. Some people (like those who made YouTube videos are mixing 50% Glycerin with their juices), but that takes away too much flavor for me.

Edit: Some of the guys in some of YouTube videos are adding 50% Glycerin. I'm back to adding about 33% Glycerin to my pre-mixed liquids, due to having sore gums and sore areas in my mouth, probably from either too much PG, nicotine, or high-voltage heat. I haven't determined what's causing the mouth pain yet, but it isn't due to too much Glycerin.
