Hi there,

I've been using tobacco for over 30 years and figured it was time I gave it up. Started using Blu's but they didn't seem satisfying, so I bought a Vapin-plus kit in a tobacco store and it seems like it is doing the job.
been vaping for about a month now and only use 2-3 cigs a day, mostly out of "muscle memory".

Bought some kanger tanks and a VAMO V6, and also liquids from Wizzard Labs, and mixing gear from One Stop DIY.

Liquids arrived today. Got 60mg nic in vg. Several different flavs

Using e-juice me up formula software, but would like to get some hints as to percentages for my vg/pg mix.

Thinking of starting with a 75/25 vg/pg with a 16 mg nic content and 3-5% flav.

What are the advantages of higher or lower vg content and why???

What is the best for "Big Cloud"???

Do I need PGA???


Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to ECF! Good luck on your juices. I'm just too lazy, and buy mine online.

Hey.

The more VG you use, the bigger clouds you'll get, while PG give more TH and flavor, and not a lot of vapor.

I think 16 mg of nicotine will be too much if you want to blow big clouds, because for that you need to inhale as much as you can, and 16 mg will give a lot of TH. Also you won't be able to vape for a long time since this much nicotine will get you dizzy quite soon. I suggest trying about 3 mg of nicotine first, then you'll know if you want more.

Mixes with a lot of VG can also cause dry hits, thats because VG doesn't soak into your wicks very fast. In that case you might want to try using more PG, or adding a little bit of distilled water into the mix.

Welcome!! Glad you are taking it slow...

PG is burns a little hotter and carries the flavor better. VG is thicker, cooler and develops more cloud. Those are kinda the extremes. Most mix them for general use in a tank.

The VG, making clouds, is popular in high percentage by some. But it can gum up tiny coils that aren't burning very hot. VG is really good for using a dripper topper (RDA)

Kinda depends on what the vaper wants.


Edit: Faster typer Pivorsak

Welcome aboard. Glad you are kicking the cigs. The VG is where you get your cloud. The PG is a flavor carrier but you can get along without much of it. It's best to keep it low at first because some people have an allergic reaction to PG. But more PG also increases the throat hit.

Thnx for the quick replys.

So you thing I should maybe try a 50/50 mix first, and say 8mg nic just for starters. Will be doing 2.5ml samples to check flavors.

Big cloud can wait.

I would suggest a sample pack from Andirondack Vapor. Delta>Placid>Tincoderoga

I made up a 50/50 pg/vg 10mg nic base to use as a flavor sampler. I'll use a ratio of 1ml base and 1 drop of flavor for a 5% flavor mix, and will adjust flavor accordingly.

I made a 30ml bottle of base so I can try several flavors.

I will play around with pg/vg ratios later on to find out what I like.
