Higher VG Content??

[jxc0175]

I have done a lot of reading lately and it appears that both PG and VG have agents that can dry your mouth out. However, I have not found a scientific comparison of the two in order to determine which one is worse. My question is to those who vape juices with a higher % of vg (like 50/50 or all vg). Do VG juices seem to dry your mouth out less?

I use 100% VG and I think it dries my mouth out less, but the nicotine alone still can dry your mouth out some and I still drink alot of water. But I noticed when I was vaping higher PG a long time ago, I even got chapped lips from it sometimes.

Hey thanks man. I am going to DIY a 50/50 juice to give it a try. I can't take this dry mouth anymore LOL

I use 65-35 vg-pg. I find that high pg makes my throat hurt....It might be drying or I might have a pg aversion. I know I cant vape 100% pg.

I get this film over my entire mouth. Drinking water helps temporarily. I always wake up with a white phylum on my lips. I'm gonna try a higher VG %. Does 65% clog your cartos or do you not use cartos?

I use 100% VG. The trick is to dilute it with distilled water. Do you DIY?

 

[jxc0175]

yeah I do. Does diluting it make it thinner to help not kill cartos quickly?

I use alcohol based organic extracts so it thins out the VG real good and I don't have any problems with the vivi novas at all. My friend uses the same exact juice I use in her 2-hole carto tanks with no issues in wicking even though it's 100% VG. I do think you need 2-hole carts probably though.

For everyone one ML of VG how much should I use to dilute it?

 

[MiamiMom63]

I use 100% VG, but 20% of it is an alcohol based flavor extract. I have never used straight alcohol to dilute juice though. Here's a thread you can check out and see what is said about it http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/271224-how-much-pga-dilute-vg.html

I mix up my nicotine base and VG (use whatever proportions you need for your target mg/ml nic level) then add 20% distilled water and 20% flavorings. So my final mix is 60% nicotine+VG, 20% distilled, and 20% flavor. I use Nature's Flavors, which are part alcohol/part VG.

I use a cartotank with Ikenvape pre-punched cartos, two holes, no issues.

Oh, I use Natures Flavors extracts also and didn't realize they were VG also. lol. But I just use 20% flavor and then my base without adding water. My friend does the same and has no problem with wicking in 2-hole cartos. I like the throat hit because I've lowered my nic alot.

I use carto-tanks primarily (unless I drip) but I use two holed cartos about 80% of the time with no issues.
