Mixing Salt Nic VG/PG?

[MuddyDog]

I ordered some concentrated salt nic, PG, and VG. The salt nic is VG-based. What are the pros and cons of adding only VG or only PG to the remaining desired mixture, aside from what I've read about VG providing a sweeter hit than PG? Bad idea?
I originally planned on a 50/50 split, but since I haven't received my purchase yet, I would like to hear from you first.

In my opinion, if you are going to mix PG and VG in your juice, I'd have purchased the PG based nicotine. Since PG has a thinner viscosity, there will be a more even distribution of nicotine in the solution. But, since you opted for the VG variety, make sure to really shake the crap out it at room temp before mixing. VG based nic is really an answer to a demand for those who are PG sensitive.

The website said all salt nics are VG-based, so I didn't have a choice. Thanks for telling me to shake it up really good before mixing. How are people sensitive to PG? Is it the initial throat hit or some aftereffects? Thanks.

For myself pg aggravates my skin (red splotches) so I use vg salts. The only pg in my mixes comes from flavors; I use distilled water to thin out my juice.

As a side note, I wanted to mention that I recently tried some salt nic, I bought some "Red Tobacco" flavored 25mg. So, I went from 18mg flavorless freebase to 25mg salt nic, and I was amazed at how much smoother the salt nic is. I'm convinced I will continue using the salt nics.

Would you mind sharing the ratio of distilled water?

Depends on what tanks you use. For myself 3-6% works well. I use rdl rtas and hellbeast dl tanks and dl Itanks. If you use tight mtl start at 6-10%. Easiest way to find your dw sweet spot is mix up 10ml of juice and start with 3% dw. If thats too thick in your tank then ad a drop or two to the tank shake and repeat as needed. Then you can roughly translate into how much dw will work for you. Keep in mind if you only have 5% flavors you will possibly want higher dw than a 10% flavor mix.

Most nic salt users I find are pod users wanting higher nic contents. Some countries have limited nic concentrations like 20mg/ml (2%) limits (UK, EU, Canada as examples) and the ONLY way to vape at that max and achieve 50:50 ratio is if your nic is VG. I applaud your supplier.
