Why doesnt tasty vapor use VG as their base instead of PG. The most PG I can handle is 20%. Wish I could but cant.
I have pondered this question for so so long

I'm actually the opposite. My favorite flavor (butterscotch) from a different supplier was only available 50/50 PG/VG, but that's a little too thick for my cartos. Several people had posted about how good butterrum was and when I saw that I could get it 80/20 I was thrilled.
I have thought of trying DIY, but I'm just too lazy lol.

As far as DIY, be there done that got the t-shirt, I will never do it again, it is cheaper and better to let Tasty Vapors do it.
As for higher Vg, you should give Tasty Vapor a call and see what they can do for you, I wouldn't assume they can't until you ask.

The problem is that most of the flavoring comes in a PG base. I think the nicotine does as well. I think Geoff has said that he's going to look into higher VG liquids -- maybe he'll be able to do that once they're in the new space.
You can get doublers from TV as high as 50% VG and add your own nicotine (you'd have to find some that is VG based but that's probably not too hard.) In the Miscellaneous Groups area of the Social Groups Forum there's a VG-only group. The suppliers thread has a list of vendors who offer VG-only that I used to maintain (there are probably more now.) It's not Tasty Vapor but maybe you can find something that is almost as good.
I only will order from a handful of vendors. TV tastes really good I like Geoff's Blend. It's an amazing juice. The very most PG I can handle is 20% PG.
Why is the fact that we don't so hard to accept?
Oh well, here is the unsimple answer to your question. We use as little components as possible, afterall, the entire point of this was not only to eliminate the smoke and tar from your nicotine consumption, but the insane number of chemicals used, carcinogens included.
Nicotine is highly sensitive to sunlight, heat and oxygen. VG is used for a lot of cosmetic applications, not only for its moisturizing capacities as it draws moisture INTO things, along with that moisture, OXYGEN.
Were we to use VG as a base, we would also in turn have to use a number of inhibitors to prevent the VG from drawing oxygen into the nicotine at an accelerated rate.
I can tell you from experience diluting some nicotine in a quart of VG before, it was about a week before the mixture started smelling REALLY badly. So by itself, and without the use of inhibitors, it wouldn't work.
Rather than doing the research, dumping a bunch of additional chemicals, that are equally safe to be inhaled, and the fact that we're trying to keep the chemical shopping list as low as humanly possible, we all equally felt that it was just best to be a company that DIDN'T offer All VG liquids.
Also the fact that knowing most flavorings are PG based, we couldn't sell you a bottle of "All VG" liquid knowing full well that at least 30% of it was going to be PG. So, you should possibly question the companies that ARE claiming to sell All VG liquids.
We just don't sell it.

Mr. Tasty Vapor, I have just looked at your site (very nice, BTW) for the first time. I see that you offer flavor concentrates. I image that these could be added to unflavored VG to make a fairly strong ratio of VG to PG. I'll have to keep you in mind as I cannot tolerate mostly PG liquids and VG doesn't have much flavor variety.
Thanks for your info regarding why you don't offer pre-mixed VG liquids, it was very informative.

Because more than 30% VG sucks. Don't let 'em tell you otherwise.
It's either that or my opinion isn't always right, but I'm inclined to think I am always right. Which I'm not. I'm right about that too.

I was super hesitant to get into DIY. Once I got Ejuicemeup cac and wasn't afraid of over nic. Then all these diy videos on youtube, not just a few. Bada Bing. Plus there are tons of recipes online now also. Some trial and error and I make my juice custom just the way I love it. Also spruced up some juices I didn't like from vendors. I have PG issues also and so happy I went DIY. I still order from my fav vendor once and a while, but I diy my all day vapes. I also diy for friend's and family. I just wish I would have got into it hundreds of dollars back of junk juice. I have saved so much money and love my ejuice! I just mixed up a bunch of bottles tonight, as I was running low. I am not trying to steer anyone from vendor juice. I am just saying DIY isn't that scary and when you get it down pat. The pay off is so worth it! At least for me and when there are diy flavors, nic or tools on sale. O yeah 
So if you are PG sensitive just give it a try
