Very helpful thank you I didn’t know anything about pg/vg how to I find out what my product contains?

Somewhere on the Label there should be some Percentages for the PG and the VG.

Something like... PG50%|VG50%

Do you have a Link to the e-liquid you are Using?

Not sure how to put a link in but I’m using blu liquid, it doesn’t state in the packaging or the website.

Most Blu e-Liquids are 60%PG and 40%VG. This is a High Amount of PG as compared to Most e-Liquids.

PG is what carries the Flavor. And also can server to Thin the e-Liquid. VG is what Makes the Vapor.

Many People Don't Like High PG e-Liquids. It can cause a Scratchy Throat. And in some cases, Mild Headaches. Very High VG on the other hand is Great for making Vapor. But can mute the Flavor of the e-Liquid. And can sometimes cause a Heavy Lung feeling.

Most e-Liquids are a Mixture of Both PG and VG. With the PG Maxing out at 50% or so.

Next time you can go to a shop that Sells e-Liquids, or are shopping Online not at Blu, you might try getting a Small Bottle of e-Liquid that is 40%PG | 60%VG and see if you like it better.

All you have to do is paste the URL into your post. It will be made into a hyperlink automatically when you submit the post.
When you are on the website, highlight the address (click on it) right click and choose copy. Go to your ECF post and click on the link icon (looks like a chain with two links) Right click, choose paste. It's OK... not all of us are computer savy (if you are using a phone can't help you) No worries... we can help you with this (people here on ECF tend to be very helpful)

ETA:

I don't live in the UK. But I'm sure someone who does can Recommend a Good e-Liquid Company to buy from.

Or you could Start a New Thread with a Title like... "Good Online e-Liquid stores in the UK". And I know you will get a lot of Replies.

Thank you everyone I’ve stuck with the 9mg nicotine but I keep feeling really nauseous and seem to have a lot of saliva to, and dizziness I’m only vaping roughly 2ml a day so don’t think Im getting to much nicotine, maybe I need to change my brand and get higher vg level one like your recommended, I’m going to try post the link but I’m on a phone

I emailed blu direct they just got back to me and said there products are 65% PG and 35%VG

I see others have already told you all you need to know about pg and vg:thumb:

I'm sorry to say I don't much like the site where you buy, they don't seem consistent with their data (like saying their juices go from 0% to 1.6% nic and then selling 18mg/ml; things like that just really annoy me), and they never say what pg/vg content is (which is important to know if you are allergic to pg, which some people are). Anyway, I'm not really familiar with their products so I can't judge. I suggest you find a thread (or start new one) about blu, someone here is sure to be familiar with it and can give you better advice.

But if I were you (and that's just my opinion, feel free to ignore me;)) I'd look into some different devices (I already mentioned Zlide Tube, or maybe Vaporrsso kit sky solo; look for stick or pod systems, they are small and easy to use) and then you can buy whatever flavour, strength and pg/vg ratio juice you want.
The way I see it you are now limited to just one brand (I might be wrong but again, I never used this device) and that's just not ok, there's a whole world of juices out there. If you really think vaping is for you then give this at least a thought.

Most important however is to find more info about your device and find good uk site to buy from.
Ask around and don't give up:thumbs:

Hmmm 65 pg juice...instresting...I thought it would be 50/50. Anyways

Nicotine and pg gives more throat hit to immitate cigs and vg it's easier on throat and produce more vapor...

The fact that u feel nausea with only 2ml of 9nic per day seems a little wierd to me to happen from pg...but not impossible I guess...
Most say they experience dry mouth/throat from pg....
I am assuming u drink lot of water ofc and it's not that u get nausea from dehydration

The nausea could still be from nic cause I think u said u used to smoke 15cigs per day only??And I think it was light cigs???

also its not that all people smoke the same way....I used to smoke like maniac...I know many people go slow and their cigs mostly burn out without taking many puffs...was you that person? :p

I mean ok u can try I just have heard about pg allergies and allergies in some specific metals used in coils....

I suggest u try vape just litttleeeeee less for few days.....or try juice with lower than 9mg and u can also get 50/50 Soo u can vape more...
Myself turns out I was addicted to the act of smoking and not Soo much of the nic csuse I was able to lower it pretty fast even tho i was smoking old horlborn rolling cigs non stop all day..
Anyways that's my suggestion doesn't mean I am right just saying what I would do

Thank you yes I agree I don’t really like blu I’ve emailed them a few times asking questions and they haven’t given me the right information of there products that’s why I joined this site, when I told them there information was incorrect they came back and said sorry they lady that emailed me back was dyslexic that’s why she got the information wrong, so I’m not really trusting them at the moment. I think I can use different juices in there device. I chose them as it seemed quite simple to use as I was starting up. I’m looking into buying a different brand e liquid now just so many out there. I have put a new post up asking about e liquid in the uk so hopefully someone will comment. All my vape shops are closed near me at the moment as were in lockdown so can’t go into any just now.

Hi yes that’s correct I smoked 15 cigarettes a day and they were lights, sometimes I did let a lot of it burn out and sometimes I didn’t. I think I am going to have to change my brand and go down on the nicotine maybe try a 3mg. I’ve just been searching online so many to choose from all our shops are closed at the moment in my area because we are in lockdown, so going to have to choose one online

Usually smaller devices like pods and pens work good only with thinner juices meaning 50/50 or maybe 60vg/40pg max
And they are marketed as mouth to oung devices...Blu makes sense to go for little more than 50pg I guess to give throat hit...

If your device can't vaoe thicker juice meaning having more vg then worst case u gonna notice burn taste cause the cotton won't saturate the thicker juice easily and u may burn a coil and u have time change it..not the end of the world tho...
Some like vape up 80pg juices and other 80vg or full vg100% depends what u want and like and u get the proper device for that juice and your style...just saying

3mg maybe very low try 6mg maybe? Or 5mg depends the manufacturer and how they make the juices....I think u can find very good deals online in UK
Edit: nvm don't listen to me go for 3mg maybe better to lower your nic maybe feel a little wierd at first but ok....be strong and u gonna get used to it :p
