Exactly!! We lived the same nightmare haha

Perfect example- Lorann's Bananna Creme @ 20% - god awful harsh taste, near-painful TH. added about 4% Sucralose and now it's my all day vape :) Just smooth-silky godly flavor! I tend to change my ADV every 1-2 weeks tho! So many great flavors out there :)

I've got to agree with this. Even smelling LorAnn's Banana Cream at 20% was painful. Don't have my recipe here but ended up decreasing it dramatically, adding some 'bakery' (either Bavarian Cream or cheesecake, don't remember) and some tobacco (perique). I'm vaping it now - absolutely delicious.

What are the ratios commonly used 70/30 pg/vg or 50/50, 60/40?

Those are Common Ratios. But a person must find what works Best for them.

For me, I want Vapor and couldn't care Less about TH. In fact, I don't like a lot of TH. So Ratios where there is More PG that VG don't work well for me. Not enough Vapor and they tend to be Harsh Tasting.

I use about 30% PG | 70% VG.

I need a Little PG in an e-Liquid or the Taste of my Flavorings Doesn't come thru well. But more than about 30% PG and I start to get a Scratchy Throat.

You just going to have to do some Experimenting to find what works Best for You.

sorry if I sound like a idiot..but when you say sucralose...you do mean TFA sweetener? im totally over EM...it always taste bitter to me

Yes. When I talk about Sucralose, I am referring to Pure Sucralose in a PG Solution. Not a Sugar Substitute that has "some" Sucralose in it.

Do you have a Link to that TPA Sweetener?

Ok.. I have found out that 70%pg and 30%vg floods up my Protank so I have to double wick it. Yesss I am a protank freakkkk!! I have have about 20 protanks each with different flavors. A 50/50 mix I get dry hits and burns up my wick, so to compensate to for that I don't double wick it. To much playing around but when I get the protank to coperate it is very good in taste.. So now i got all my protanks setup for 70/30 mix

I think what you are finding is that Viscosity of an e-Liquid is what determines if something Floods (too much Wicking) or gives you a Dry Hit (not enough Wicking).

People who use Higher VG Ratios, like myself, Dilute their VG with something besides PG so that the e-Liquid is about as thin as a 70%PG|30%VG e-Liquid.

Which Most Clearos are built around.
