e Juice Base

[Oliversilk]

From my understanding, juice is comprised of VG and/or PG, Nicotine (if desired) and flavorings. If this base is common to all juices, is there such a thing as having a superior base?

Hello that is a matter of opinion. Nicotine comes in a base of PG or VG or both. I use 100% VG in all of my liquids, because PG doesn't agree with me. Most folks do e liquids of a 50/50 ratio of PG and VG.

Where does the Water or Vodka come in?

water would be used to thin mostly vg blends, as they can be thick and can slow down wicking to the coils. Usually its a drop or 2 per ml of juice.

vodka or pure grain alcohol (pga) is used to add a touch of throat hit, it can also help thin out the thicker vg juices.

I dont use either in my diy, but I also cant vape high vg due to an intolerance to vg. Its odd to have it but I do, so most of my blends are 70pg/30vg, or 65/35, my wife likes 50/50 no water/vodka needed for hers as well.

It is personal preference, though there are some people who have a sensitivity to either PG or to VG. When I buy juice I will usually get 50/50 or maybe 30/70 pg/vg. When I mix it at home, my nicotine base is in VG only, and I may or may not add any PG when diluting it and adding flavorings. I have never added water nor alcohol, either.
