My VG review!

[ZorbaTheGreek]

Just wanted to contribute! Hope you enjoy, be gentile, it's my first review.

When I first got my PV I was disappointed, I seemed to have a slightly bad reaction to PG. Nothing major, just got a really bad sore throat after about 2 days. And kind of a burning sensation when I'd smoke, I know this can be normal sometimes but I kind of freaked and sought some VG alternatives. After a little hunting I got a sample 6 pack from American eLiquid store And the bad symptoms went away right away. I even tried some PG mixed in a week later, and immediately got the unpleasant burning tightness again. So VG is for me it would seem!

Here's some of what I found. Some places you can get it...
American eLiquid of course
Cignot(Want to try them next)
JuicyLiquid(Unless I'm mistaken, they don't sell it entirely premixed, it comes with flavor and you mix naked nic level VG with whatever flavor you ordered.)
DIY Flavorshack(Site is down right now for thanksgiving, opens again monday)

So, as I said, I have limited experience with PG liquids. I had two bottles of dekang liquid, the orange, and the cigar flavors (Thought it would be a nice strong tobacco flavor) The flavors I will review were all bought in the 6 bottle kit from American eliquids.

Blackberry Champagne: Really love this one. Love it, all my friends love it. It has a sweet smell that I can't quite put my finger on, but it reminds me of something. Not too sweet, good flavor. Great vape.

Cherry Cappuccino: Did not care for this one. I've only used it once and since I'm limited on the number of atomizers I have I haven't put it back in the thing since. Hard to describe, but definitely didn't care for it.

Black Cherry: Didn't like this on much either. I've read cherry flavors don't come through too well on PVs (cough syrup anyone?) I tried it again though, and mixed it with some marlboro and it's not too bad. If anything it's curse is just very weak flavor.

Marlboro: Not a bad smoke. When I first tried it didn't really pick up a ton of Ciggy flavor/smell. But I've been vaping it pretty hard for two days and sometimes I swear it tastes allot like a cig. Don't know if it's how wet the atty is/isn't that makes it's flavor seem to change sometimes, but I've been enjoying it for sure.

Keoke Coffee: Really like this one too. Not exactly coffee, but quite a bit there. Lovely smell and aftertaste. Coffee wise, blows the cherry cappuccino out of the water. Like coffee? Worth a shot

Djarum Black Clove: Wow, this one blew my face off. Way way strong flavor. I and my roommate agree, a pretty reasonable facsimile of a Djarum. Not perfect but good. And I really did enjoy the flavor. The downsides. You will never get this flavor out of your atty! I washed it twice, and have smoked three carts of marlboro in the atty to try and get it out, and still all I taste is clove. It left kind of an oily feeling in my mouth, wasn't bad or too annoying, just noting it. The liquid kind of crystallizes in the jar if it gets cool. I called the company and they said this is normal, and suggested warming it before filling a cart. But they haven't had any problems burning attys with it being to thick/oily, and neither did I. (only used it a little.) Love cloves? Give this a try, but on a private clove only atty.

The flavors I liked were easily on par with the dekang liquid I originally bought for flavor. Hard to really say if VG creates that much more vapor as I didn't smoke the dekang too much. But it definitely seems like there's a good bit more. And my little m401 is like a smokestack. Hope some people find this helpfull! Happy Vaping!

So the reason I like mixing Juicy Juice flavors is b/c that line has no pg in their flavoring...Do you know if American E liquid has totally pg free liquids..a lot of stores have VG but still add the flavor which usually contains PG..

I can't seem to find many that have all VG except for Juicy and Intellicig

 

[ZorbaTheGreek]

American eLiquid store has no PG in it! Made me a happy man. I wasn't listing the juicy info as a negative. I think it's cool, tone down a flavor if you like a bit.

I'll also look more into cignots "VG" liquid, and DIY once it's back up. Just listed them because I had read elsewhere that they had it. Thanks

wow thats good to know about american..i just wonder how pure of a vg they use..I've used the NOW brand which says 100 percent glycerin and still have side effects (with no nic or flovers added) than a few days ago i got the intillicig ecopure and for the first time havent had any sneezing or nasal stuffiness..so i wish I knew what american liquids used as far as the purity of VG

 

[ZorbaTheGreek]

I'd give them a call. They're actually a tech support company.....

AmericaneLiquidStore.com is committed to providing the highest quality, safest eLiquid available anywhere, but we didn't start out to be a retail operation..
Our owner also owns a Computer Support company, and got interested because one of his computer support employees starting using eLiquid. Upon research , he found that eLiquid offered the nicotine we want, without all the tar and other cancerous chemicals, so he got very interested.

He started working with a chemical engineer, who also works at a world renowned stem cell research lab, where the requirements for consistency of process and sterility are much higher than required for food processing, as it deals with processing living cells (and keeping them alive throughout the experiments). This chemist set up our facilities and processes. Our lab equipment is top notch. Our 99.8% pure nicotine (the purest available) is measured using micro-pipettors with disposable, sterile tips (we buy 1000 at a time), so each order is measured with a brand new tip, and when the order is completed, the tip is discarded.
So AmericaneLiquidStore.com was created first as an alternative for existing employees, and just grew from there.

But just get to an operator and they've always been happy to put me on the phone quickly with someone that has helped me with my questions.

Are you sure those flavors are pg free, because they sound like lorans flavorings which are not pg free.
Did you email and ask and they said no pg in the flavors.
i'd be really insterested if there were really no pg in them.

 

[MissVapor]

Looks like they probably use NOW VG since they sell bottles of it on their site they probably use the same thing to mix with..

 

[ZorbaTheGreek]

So, email back from the American eLiquid..

While our eLiquids are PG free, some flavorings also contain small amounts of PG. If you are highly sensitive to PG, the following flavors and flavorings are 100% PG free.
Black Licorice
Cheesecake
Clove
Djarumn Black Clove
Marlborough - Please specify you want PG free Marlborough in Order Comments
Menthol - - Please specify you want PG free Marlborough in Order Comments

Hope that clears it up a bit. I still really enjoy their liquids, and I'm smoking ones that have some PG in the flavors, but it doesn't bother me.

Just got a sampler from from American eLiquid including a bottle of Djarumn (sp? from the label) Black Clove liquid. Real clove oil (eugenol) in this stuff, with maybe a hint of licorice. Good stuff, now I need to get some more atomizers because I only have two of them, rotating only when I need to rinse one out.

That 'oily' feeling is most likely the anesthetic property of eugenol. There is oil in it, but clove is so strong it doesn't take much oil to get the effect (flavor, anesthetic, etc). What oil there is could be cured by a little PGA rinse as needed. I can't imagine this killing atomizers, you should notice loss of flavor and overheating long before the atmoizer 'dies'.
