High PG % liquid..yukkk.

[Youmadbrah]

I bought an 80% RY4 liquid from a good vendor. It is really light liquid and vapor production is weak. The flavor is not that much. On the other hand I am really enjoying a 60% VG from another vendor ,in terms of vapor and flavor. Will never buy a PG% higher than 50 again

ymmv

I have found that PG is pretty offensive and nasty. The TH people get from PG is nothing more than throat irritation, which is a sad attempt at imitating analog TH. Anybody coming from analogs should goto VG first.

Many people prefer higher PG at least early on, unless they have sensitivity to it, as it generally seems to pass flavor better, and seems to contribute to throat hit (though nic is the basic element that provides TH).

A weak flavor is simply a particular vendor going a bit "light" on the flavorings compared to another vendor, PG does seem to carry flavor better.

The whole PG vs. VG discussion is really a subjective area. I can DIY a 0VG (high PG) mix that has good vapor production, tastes good, same as a 0PG (high VG) blend, though at the ends of the scale the 0PG will have higher vapor production/"lung hit". While not too bad, however, I do notice a bit of "heaviness" from 0PG mixes compared to those with moderate to high amounts of PG; this really only shows up when working out, but I've gone back towards about 70% PG in my own blends -- zero shortness of breath, good vapor production.

Also, another empirical thing, I certainly do see more of a light haze buildup on my car window from high VG vaping compared to high PG. While nowhere near as bad as the smoking haze buildup from back in the day, it is another data point nudging me towards higher PG. If I had PG sensitivity I would have zero problem vaping 0PG, since net it is still vastly better than smoking in my opinion, but given my own body I'll stay with what works best for me.

Mark, I concur totally! I've had the exact same prob w/VG...my DIYS are an 80+/20 mix w/24 to 36mg. The higher mg is when I'm nicing/craving for an analog. Yes, that still happens on occasion(a want-to smoke an analog, not the literal) See you in the Vapehaze...

I prefer PG liquid. I buy between high to very high PG liquid.

 

[martinc]

My smoothest liquid is banana slurry (all VG) from Alien Vision...that bottle is nearing its end and I will miss it.

Insane vapor production,smooth as silk,subtle flavor...but it dries out my mouth like crazy and I dont care.

to OP: to get a more correct comparison you would have to get the same liquid from the same vendor in both pg and vg to determined the difference. every vendor has different make-ups of juice...so they vary.

 

[swedishfish]

I don't like VG juice at all.

Exactly. Compare apples to apples.

yeah I had just finished posting on my thread about how i hate VG when i found this one lol

Youmadbrah I guess were each others Nemesis. Polar opposites ha ha ha

I'm still trying to find my PG/VG ratio so far it's around 80PG/20VG or higher I hate 50/50.

I'm not sure it's so much that i love PG as much as I hate VG.
I ended up having to vape tons of 50/50 that i bough until i couldn't take it anymore.
because many vendors don't say what your buying.
and once you spend the money..................it's yours

and judging by the reviews some of the juices i've vaped got.
there seems to be alot more people on your side of the fence.

now i'm older and wiser.......

I hope lol

A lot of things you like early on you may really dislike, or be neutral towards, later, and vice-versa. If you picked up an eliquid that gets a lot of positive reviews from people who have vaped a while it's at least reasonably possible that you might find out you like it a couple months down the road.

I preferred/needed some really strong, in-your-face tobacco early, nowadays while I don't mind it there's no way I would choose it as my regular vape. I still go high flavor, but am very confident that what I vape now would have been at best a shrug early on.

if you are not allergic to pg or vg, im surprised that there is such a big difference to some, that they hate 50/50 and loving 70/30. i know there is a slight difference but come on...

Do you have a bottle of pg & vg? Take a look at them. Taste them. They are much different.

If you had one drink that was 3 oz of vodka and 7 ounces of OJ, I think you would notice a difference from one that was 5 oz vodka and 5 oz oj.

I started vaping with 100% PG, but I am sensitive to it so I had to add VG to the mix ... and I am glad that I did because I love the smooth texture that VG adds to the flavor and vapor. If it wasn't for the fact that I use cartos 95% of the time, I would be a 100% as opposed to 40% VG vaper.

 

[swedishfish]

Some place (I think Virgin Vapor) will thin their juice out for you if you ask them. Their juice is all VG and they use EcoPure base. Do they ship to Canada?

 

[Jim Bob]

Blue Mist has a 100% VG that is not "so thick" and I use in cartos daily

 

[martinc]

All VG juices are cut with distilled water or suitably good alcohol;they are not pure VG as its hellishly thick

 

[Jim Bob]

Ok does not contain PG
