E-liquid

[rodmen]

How come some vendors offer 100% PG e-liquid when is impossible to vape.
I was having cough with some liquid and some one told me that VG may cause coughing, so
i desired to try 100% PG and it taste like paint remover not only that but my family start to ask what was it burning. as you can see how nasty is 100% PG.
Also some vendors recommend not to use any VG with Ego-T because the atomizers don't work properly and might get broken within a day.
I really don't understand what's going on since I use my Ego-T my atomizers only last me about ten or twelve days, I wonder if that is the cause. and if it is then there is no liquid for atomizers.
How long does your atomizers with your Ego-T normally last you and what kind of liquid would you recommend me?
Thanks.

Do not order pure PG base, the function of PG is to make the VG easy to refill. VG itself is very thick, so people mix the VG+PG liquid, VG is the liquid that can make big vapor. mostly, it is VG, VG+PG, PG400 and VG+PG400

PG carries flavor & helps the nic deliver throat hit, plus it is thinner. VG mostly delivers vapor and is thicker. Most people seem to prefer 70 - 80% PG, with the rest (30 or 20%) VG. This is purely a matter of personal preference AFAIK. However, be aware that the thicker the mixture, the slower it may flow down to the coil. This may or may not be much of an issue depending upon your setup. (I direct-drip a lot so when I do this it's hardly an issue at all). It is imperative that you keep the coil damp to avoid burning it out.

Hopefully more knowledgeable folks will soon be along to explain this a bit better. Meanwhile, Happy vaping!

So you have a choice. because most of vendors offer 50/50 and not 20% VG and 80% PG.
I'll google to see where I can find those options.
Thanks.

I think most venders offer the 70/30%....I would start there. That's what I make all my juice at and I don't have any problems with my carts. I've been vaping with the same carts for about a month. They will last a long time as long as you
keep them wet. When not in use, I put a condom over both parts of my carts. If you let them dry out, they will build up crap that cloggs the carts.

As to finding juice vendors, I'd suggest checking those in the vendor section here on ECF. They have been vetted to some degree and are not ripoff outfits, whereas what you find via Google will be a crapshoot at best. I wish I could recommend some but Have been mixing my own e-liquids for some time now. However I have been seeing favorable reports for Backwood Brews, Mom & Pop's, Alien Vision and a few others I can't recall. I think a lot depends upon what type of flavors you prefer; some seem to favor tobacco flavors, others are into sweeter flavors. Oh yes, Mrs. T's Bakery, and there's another one specializing in all-natural, VG-based juices I can't think of right now but might be just what you're looking for. Good luck!

I've been using eGo T for over 6 months. My attys last over a month with no cleaning at all. I use a DIY liquid that I mix 50/50 ratio of PG/VG.

That would be Virgin Vapor. Yummy!

Rodmen, just checking you haven't bought a bottle of PG base meant for mixing your own juice, what does the label say on the PG you bought? Does it mention the nicotine strength? It shouldn't be any higher than 36mg at the most and that's high.

 

[rodmen]

vapourMonkey. I only can vape 12 mg, the label says 12 mg.
The reason I order the 100% PG it is because 50/50 makes me cough.

Kay1959 thanks. I found a vendor who give those options.

I've had my ego T for about that long and have 1 of 2 of the original attys, going strong too, but I did remove the bridge and wick and just drip

No worries rodmen, i was just a little concerned you had bought concentrated nicotine base used for diy mixing by mistake, that can be anything up to 100mg, it would make you very ill.
Hope you find a ratio of PG/VG that suits you.
