Finding the best PG/VG mix for me

[Javamon]

I started out with a 50/50 mix, and a few days later I'm finding - it's not the optimal mix for me.

It's just too heavy for me. It started not feeling right in my chest and on my tongue.
I'm trying a mostly PG mix now, and it's feeling much better for me. And I can taste and smell much more with it.

Interesting.

80/20(PG/VG), have a try

Yeah it all depends on what you like personally. I've got everything from 70%VG to 80%PG and they all taste and behave differently.

I have found that 65 PG and 35 VG is the perfect spot for me. Too much PG and I tend to break out in hives.

What is the level of nicotine that you use?

it's subjective...I find I do better w/o the PG it's irritating as all get out to my respiratory tract. But with this respiratory crud from the flu..my usual 100%VG is just too heavy in my lungs...wheeze and coughing fit brought...even as that's starting to get a bit better..I"m doing a 50/50 right now.

so everyone has to find what works for them.

12mg 50/50 for now

Zero nic. [zero nic is apparently too few words, so here I am with more words. ]

It's amazing how subjective the mix ratios are.

It boggles my mind how anyone can vape anything over 50% PG. It makes me shake and cough, just like the old man in that book by Nabakov. (Apologies to Sting)

I try not to vape anything over 25% PG, or else I might as well inhale diesel smoke for all the coughing I'll be doing.

Max VG for me, but to each, his own. (or her own, however that may be)

I make my mixes at 2/3 PG, 1/3 VG, as it gives me plenty of vapor without too much heaviness.

I had the same problem with high vg juices. Gave me a heavy feeling in my lungs and shortness of breath. At first I thought it was because I had smoked so long but when I went back to a higher pg juice it got better.

I always found that when not dripping a60vg/40pg mix was the best for me. Good flavor, decent vapor production and it seemed to take a bit longer to go through a bottle compared to 50/50 mix

Though if you are sensitive to either vg or pg then you have to factor that into your decision

i guess my body isn't all that "subjective". first bottle was 70pg/30vg. worked fine for me. then i tried 50/50. worked fine also. i guess i'm equal opportunity vaper.

PG is dry and harsh to my taste. I like 40/60 PG/VG as a minimum. VG has a higher boiling point and I feel it vapes better at a slightly higher temp then PG. Seems to take away that heavy feeling.

just started vaping a 70 Vg juice i forgot i had.. ... perfect.... throat isnt dry anymore....
