New to E-cig and 1 week smoke free

[alamor]

Hello all,

first off I want to say NICE FORUM!!! This is great!!!! I am 7 days smoke free, and TO try to keep myself from smoking cigarettes I bought me an e-cig. I am actually really liking it. I just had a few questions I am hoping some of you vets can answer few questions.

#1) What is the difference between a PG and VG liquid?
#2) What would be a good way to wein myself off the e-cig after 4-5 weeks of smoking one.

Any help anyone could give me would be GREATLY appreciated. Even though the e-cig is a great NON-Leathal way to quit smoking I don't want to break one habit for another. But I can't find a good regiment for quitting.

Thanks

Alamor

PG - thin, lets through the most harshness of nicotine which equals the most TH, and the most flavor
VG - thick, smooths the harshness of nicotine and TH, dulls flavor, adds more visible and persistent vapor

I like 70pg/30vg (i.e. not the Chinese juices - US mixed juices). Some like 80pg/20vg for more TH. Some like 50/50 for less.

Re weaning - lower your nicotine level. Find a juices or juices you like then buy some empty dropper bottles (many juice vendors sell them) and buy a larger bottle of 0 nicotine of the same juice(s). Then you can mix lower nicotine levels of the juices you like.

So for example, if you started with 24mg juice and the same juice in 0mg
3 parts of 24mg and 1 part 0mg gives you 3/4 of the nic or 18mg
1 part of 24mg and 1 part 0mg gives you 1/2 of the nic or 12mg
etc

I like the 70/30 for vaping around the house. For work vaping though I use 100%PG as there will be less lingering of the vapor ( I work mostly in a cube environment). On the golf course I use a 50/50 mix. I use the 50/50 because of the thicker quality, and as there is a bit more time between vapes, it works well for me because I use carts, and wicking may be a bit slower.
As far as the weining, s you wil see will be different for most folks. But, as there are less restrictions on where you can vape I think that it happens really quickly. Cheers

I prefer mine 50/50, but it's really personal preference. I do have some 70/30 that (I think) tastes like pure chemicals. Congrats on your 1st week!!!!
