I have been using Mt Baker Vapor juices for the last 6-8 months exclusively. I have noticed the consistency is not what it once was. My juices have had slight flavor and color variations which concerns me about their quality control. I have quite a few ecig shops in my area but allot mix their juice in areas I would not conciser to be "clean rooms".

I am looking for new vendors or brands to try but I need at least 65% PG at 6mg or less. I am the odd ball who has issues with too much VG.

I have tried Niquid and like a couple flavors but I haven't found a flavor I could use as an ADV since they discontinued their butterscotch.

Please tell me of vendors who maintain consistency, mix in clean labs, allow higher PG levels, and offer 30-50ml bottles, with a decent variety of flavor options. I know they are out there but I just dont know who they are.

My current ADV is MBV Butterscotch and Dutch apple pie both with extra flavor shots. My current set up is a Provari 2.5 with either kayfun or Russian clones with 1.2 - 1.5 OHM coils.

I have to have very high PG too, Vg smothers me. I'm totally in love with sweet-vapes.com -- they let you pick what PG/VG level you want, and have all the strengths from zero to some ungodly amount. I keep trying to DIY a blueberry muffin to replace buying theirs, but so far I just can't do it; their blueberry muffin is just amazing, EXACTLY like biting into one of those yummy little streusel-topped muffins.

EC Blend also lets you customize your PG/VG, and theirs is slightly less costly, but they don't have blueberry muffin, which has come to be part of my life-support system. :D Also most all their juice needs at least some steeping, and tobacco flavors a LOT of steeping, but sweet-vapes' doesn't; I like being able to vape something right away when it arrives. :D

I think I read that pinkspot also lets you customize PG/VG -- don't know the URL on that one but if you google it, it'll pop up. High Desert Vapes offers either 70PG/30VG, 50/50, or 30PG/70VG, but I really need at least 85%; I order 90% PG from sweet-vapes, since I mix my blueberry muffin with some other stuff, including WTA which is 100% VG, so I need the other components to be very high PG to make up for that. If you order from High Desert Vapes, get the extra flavor shot -- I thought their juice was kinda blah till I got one with the extra flavor shot, and it made an amazing difference.

Andria, Thank you for responding. I will check out each of the places you suggested. Im also glad to know there are others out there who need higher PG. when I tell people about that, they always think I am mistaken and mean VG. The VG makes me feel as though I have fluid on my lungs. which is what makes finding quality liquid for me difficult.

Heh, I know exactly what you mean -- when I was trying to go to higher VG, because I thought it might help some with my breathing issues when I first started -- I got to 67PG/33VG, and literally COULD NOT BREATHE -- felt like I had a hairball in my chest that would not move, and woke up that night with an asthma attack so bad, I almost couldn't even inhale from my rescue inhaler; it was terrifying. I went right back to 80% PG the next day!

I'm starting to do some DIY, still trying to come up with a reasonable facsimile of that excellent blueberry muffin from sweet-vapes -- but I generally aim for somewhere between 80%-85%. At one point I tried 90%, and it was ok at first, but after a few days of that, my throat and sinuses were so blistered I was afraid I had strep! So I try to stay in that 80-85% neighborhood now. :)

Some idjits still try to tell me that I'm wrong, that VG is better, blah blah blah... I'm like, yeah, tell it to my lungs, they don't seem to have gotten that memo! :D But we're not the only ones who have a problem with too much VG; I've found quite a few others around here who have the same or a similar problem -- we're just slightly in the minority.

You sound like an excellent candidate for diy- you can then adjust your own ratio, add flavor, dilute, etc. I get my nic and flavors from heartland vapes, my usp pg from tractor supply company(a gallon of pharmaceutical grade for 22$) vg from drug emporium( cvs carries it too, 6$ for 6 oz, but de sells it 3$ 6oz)My cost is a little over a buck for an ounce of mix, and I make it how I like it. I'm picky too, but more with the amount of flavoring and hate just taking what's off the shelf. Good luck.

That's very true; I'm still relatively new to DIY, but since I got serious about it, I'm finding that the stuff I'm making beats anything I've bought from any store, whether B&M or online -- I want a flavor that says HERE I AM, AND I'M SWEET, AND HOW ABOUT THAT THROAT HIT!!! None of this, well it sorta tastes like something, but then again, maybe not... and why is there ZERO throat hit... :facepalm:

Plus it can be difficult to find really good very-high-PG juice; those of us who prefer that are definitely on the short end of the stick.

But I'd go to Amazon for PG and VG; $3.95 for 16oz; both USP, and the VG is also kosher. I don't use much VG, but I still need a little, 15%-20% of the total mix. I bought a 16oz bottle of it back in May or June, and still have about 14oz of it. :D Wizard Labs for nicotine; Wizard Labs, Bullcityvapor, or ecigexpress for flavors. Instead of paying something like $10 for 15ml, I can make 30ml of really great ejuice for about $1.10, or even less.
