I think I'm ready to try straight unflavored juice. I currently use 50/50 store bought strawberry and I'm growing tired of the flavor. First question, can I get this in 50/50 and is it advisable, or is more PG recommended? Ive heard straight can have an almost sweet flavor, is tat due to higher levels of PG? Where can I get this stuff premixed with the nic base?

I you want to vape unflavoured I'd recommend 100% VG. It has a nice, mellow sweet taste and is velvety soft on the throat. PG on the other hand is like vaping water vapour. It doesn't taste like anything. I vape 100% VG for a few days when I have a flavour block.
Thanks for the info you two. Isn't the VG very thin? Will it cause leaking?

I would strongly advice people comming into diy, to try pg and vg by itself, unflavored and without nic. Also, take alittle spoon of each and taste it too.

Myself, and atleast two others here(Cyrus vap and EasyT), i've read in the nic comparison taste thread, finds pg to be sweeter than vg, and that pg basically tastes like alchoholic sirup by itself!. Vg is slightly sweet, and little musty/earthy in the taste, but pretty naturally tasting, while pg tastes more chemical and dry and sweeter in a non-naturally saccarin-like sweetness.

If you don't care to vape it by itself, which I strongly recommend though, then atleast taste alittle of each, as it gives a really good picture of what it vapes like. Again, vg tastes like a mild natural honey(vg is 60% as sweet as sugar) or alike, and pg is an alchoholicy sirup taste(thanks to EasyT for the nice description which is spot on :)).

Anyway, I can vape unflavored at 50/50 pg/vg, but I can taste something annoying to me(pg!), so it's not really that pleasant, but OK. I cannot vape 70/30 pg/vg unflavored for the life of me! Tried recently, when running short on vg, and it was really rough! To me, max-vg with as much water as needed for wicking in a tank is pure bliss for me with unflavored!

No more changing around with flavors and growing tired of a flavor which you previously loved, as the mild taste of vg/water and nic just gets more and more enjoying to me as time goes on! Also, I really love that you need to rewick sooo much less!

Try it out and see for yourself :)

    I started with 70/30VG just because that was the thing back then but after awhile at different ratios I ended up trying 50/50 because of the ease of mixing and have been fine with that mix for quite awhile now.

    I just buy 500ml @24 mg/ml and a thing of VG and mix together for 12. I prefer some throat hit so I stay away from the cleaner nic that's great for mixing.

    Hmm, I really don't get this! :) I've read statements like that many times before, which always leaves me extremelly baffled...

    Taste is of course highly subjective obviously, so e.g. if someone states that pg tastes very good to them, then I think nothing of it, and just conclude that we must have very different taste prefferences, but to say that pg dosen't have a taste, now that to me is a shocking statement!

    May I ask if you also dosen't taste anything special when you take a spoon of pg and taste directly?
