Hi all,
I have been using BLU e-cigs for a while, and finally dropped it in my coffee, so in despair of not wanting to go out and buy a pack of smokes, I went to the mall and bought a Smoke to live ego with a clearomizer for way too much money, but wanted the convenience. Anyway, I want to start buying juices online. I get how to buy the tanks and all that jazz since its an ego and I can figure out what fits, but my problem lies in the juices. I really liked the BLU and the juice that came with the Smoke to live. Its very mild on my throat. I have tried other Gas station e-cigs and they were really harsh on me. I mean, I could barely smoke them. Krave was the name brand of the kind I just couldnt smoke without it scratching the crap out of my throat and lungs.

Does anyone know what kind of juices Smoke to live uses? I think blu uses VG? I really just need to be pointed to a site that sells fluid that is not harsh on me. I dont want a "throat hit" I want lots of smoke, and no scratchy feeling, but dont want to worry about the tank I buy. I get this from the smoke to live smoke, but cant figure out what it is!! Help!

Blu uses http://www.johnsoncreeksmokejuice.com/#smoke-juice

blu ecigs and Johnson Creek Smoke Juice | blu Cigs E Cigarettes

Reason Blu juice is not harsh:
Juice Components
Flavoring usually about 5- 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like - many of us believe PG to be a throat irritant.
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.

SO its all VG stuff. Interesting since the tanks on my ego say its not recommended.

Yes it's VG. They thin it out with distilled water so it's vapeable.
"blu cartridges contain U.S. made with domestic and imported ingredients smoke juice and are Propylene Glycol-free and contain only Distilled Water, Nicotine (when applicable), FCC Grade Vegetable Glycerin Natural Flavors, Artificial Flavors and Citric Acid. blu e-liquid is made in the U.S. with domestic and imported ingredients."

ok cool, I am understanding a little bit better now. I am using at 16mg nic fluid now. I want to order from pure vapes, so maybe I should start with a 10/90 PG/VG and go from there?

Yes that should be okay BUT be prepared to maybe add a TINY bit of distilled water. Lowest PG/ VG ratio I ever experienced is 50/ 50.

Hmm...well...I am going to go 40/60 and try it and if its too harsh I can add some distilled water. Thank you so much for helping me.

You're welcome. Some do vape 100% VG because they are sensitive/ allergic to PG. There are some companies that actually sell 100% VG juice. Although I enjoy a harsh warm vape when I vaped the 50/ 50 it was very smooth but lacked the harshness that I enjoy.
Best of Luck...toughest part is finding a flavor and a PG/ VG ratio...sounds like you're almost there :thumbs:
Realize the same labelled juices will differ greatly in taste from Vendor to Vendor cuz they have diff recipes and suppliers.
