Name your PG/VG ratio and why.

[redddog]

Just thought it woul be interesting to know everyone's ratio and why they choose it.

I was always interested in more vapor (to further simulate the stankies). After a few carto fulls of the juice that ame with my Smoov starter kit, I went with a 30/70 PG/VG mix.

I'm now going with a 60/40 to see if my "heavy, sore" lung issue resolves.

What are you vaping and how did you come to it?

I used to get 70/30 PG/VG mix but now I am getting 50/50, maybe even a higher VG content in the future. I think I'll always want a little PG in there for the TH and flavor, but I am finding that PG does give me that scratchy throat, coughy feeling sometimes. Plus, I like to see big thick clouds of vapor and like a smoother vape with less TH.

I use 70/30 @ 18mg. It has much more TH than analogues, but I'm used to it. I'll probably go to 60/40 in the near future. Nic level plays an important role here too. I started at 24mg and just went down to 18mg. It's all about balancing TH, vapor, and nic so I don't get cravings or chain vape too much.

I choose 50/50 because its a good balance of throat hit and vapor for me.

Started with 100% PG @ 18mg and thought I was going to die. Went to a 33% VG custom blend @ 18mg but still wanted a bit more vapor, so I upped it to 60/40 @ 18mg and I'm loving it- great TH, great vapor, even flavor and no irritation from the PG.
I think I could use that 100% for weed killer LOL...

I just found a vendor that lets you customize pg/vg ratios a bit more than I'm used to. I found 60/40 to be just about perfect for me. I'm used to 70/30. The reason for 60/40 still great throat hit but I'm also getting a bit more vapor. I find the 50/50 most vendors sell I lose to much TH, 60/40 to me is the perfect balance.

Anyone decide their preferences based on ill-effects like heavy lung or chest pain?

 

[LTV1]

Started with 70pg/30vg as its the ideal wicking viscosity (for good flavor + not much leaking).....but I started getting dehydrated in an hour or 2. Switched to 60/40 and the extreme dehydration issue is resolved, I just add a bit more flavoring (13-18% total in concentrates) to my unflavored nic base (nic/pg/vg) now to compensate for the extra 10% VG.

Does anyone think that going from 30/70 PG/VG to 50/50 would have a dramatic effect on "heavy lung" if it was because of too much VG?

 

[Rudy956]

It really depends on the flavor. Different flavors taste better at different ratios but, I typically use 70% 30% (pg/vg).

 

[CayCay]

I have always used 80/20 or 70/30 (pg/vg). I don't plan on experimenting with ratios. Don't fix it if it ain't broken. =P

 

[redddog]

Totally agree. Can't wait to get to that "ain't broke" state.

 

[1vapeatatime]

I prefer 70/30 or 60/40. There is no other reason than that is what I started with and it seems to work for me....for now.

If your looking for help from those who experienced such issues I recommend you start a new thread with your issue stated in your thread title. I guaranty if you did that people with issues such as yours would respond. Good Luck!

I think it is up to the individual so it would be hard to say if it is dramatic.

I get heavy lung from 50/50 so i backed down to 70/30 pg/vg.

I would try 50/50 if i was you. It will likely come down to a little experimenting with ratios too find something that works for you.

 

[Moueix]

I don't like TH, atty leaks, and love vapor. I try not to inhale all the way into my lungs, serves no purpose as the nic intake is in the mouth and nose, so I've settled on 50/50 as my preferred mix. I'd do 70vg/30pg but too much flavor loss.

 

[Todoubled05]

Right now I'm vaping 100% VG.. I don't know what I'm doing... It's giving me good vap, and good flavor but giving me headaches...


Will try other ratios next week.

It could be a nic headache. Too high of a nic and too much vaping will do that to ya.
