In a muddle over Juice !!!

[Poppsie]

Hi guys. I need to up my nic (my prefilled cartomizers max at 16 which isn't enough) so I'm going to try ejuice, probably 24. Been noseying through the various juices and notice the mention of PG and LG and I don't have a clue what this means. Help/advice please guys. What's the best way to get started on juice.

Hi Poppsie

PG is Propylene Glycol & VG is vegetable Glycerine. The higher the PG content, the more throat hit, & on the other hand, VG gives more vapour.

Hi Poppsie, no worries. If 16 isn't enough 24 will probably be fine. I think you mean PG and VG. PG will give you the most Flavor and TH throat hit where VG will be a slightly lighter flavor, smooth in the inhale, lighter throat hit, but a lot more vapor. I find I like a mix of 80/20 PG/VG but you may want to try a few variations yourself. 50/50-80/20 or so to see what you like best.


Sheesh, I'm a slow typer.

To begin with Poppsie, it might be best if you try small bottles until you find a flavour or mix you like. Paradise vapes do 5ml bottles for only £3.00 with free P&P. You can also juice what PG/VG mix you want -

E-Juice - Paradise Vape UK _ Vape dont smoke

Or you could go for a Pick & Mix from Vape Escape (use discount code ECF10 for 10% off)

You guys are so helpful, thanks. Just read the information posted by Hoosier. OK, so I'm understanding that a mix of PG and VG (not LG lol) basically until I find the right combination, ideally getting a good TH with enough vapour and taste also. This vapouring is serious stuff LOL.

 

[Chrissie]

Yes a mix of PG & VG is a good way to start - in fact a 50/50% mix is still my favourite mix Though I'm also happy with a 70%PG/30%VG mix.

Just been looking at your links Chrissie - loads of flavours to choose from and I love the pic n mix option LOL. Feel like a kid in a sweetshop!!! Just had another thought - can you buy empty cartomizers or do you have to keep refilling old ones?

 

[Hoosier]

You can buy prefilled cartos? Huh, I've never done that.

(Yes, blanks are very common. Well it may depend on your hardware just how common they are, but they will still be out there.)

So far I like the 80pg/20vg mix that I choose to use. The pg burns better and doesn't gunk up your atomizer as much as vg. Vg is thicker and has a little sweetness to it that tends it hide some of the flavor.

There sure is a lot to learn! I am new, so I am experimenting with flavors and different mixes of pg and vg. Everyone is different, so what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another.... Also, the voltage that the juice is vaporized at makes a ton of difference, as far as flavor and vapor goes. Those would be the mods, which is probably my next step!

Good Luck!
