Nic is sold in PG, VG, or a mix of both. Since VG is more viscous, it’ll need to be shaken more thoroughly to evenly distribute the nicotine. VG will be the sweeter tasting of the two.
Soluble in both. Some say that VG can sour so that's one reason I decided to by my long-term stash of nic base in 100% PG rather than VG or a mix. VG has a sweetness to it. PG does not have any sweetness to me but some folks say it does have some sweetness to it.
Far less, 100% PG has virtually no cloud if you inhale into your lungs. Small cloud if you mouth vape like a cigar and exhale immediately.
Throat hit: For me even a tiny trace of VG will kill all throat hit. Others here would probably gag on my nic % at 100% VG but if I fill from the wrong bottle no throat hit for a day even if I dump and re-fill. I'm an extreme example, but PG / VG ratio effects this for most people.
VG = sweetener for me, I rarely use sweetener when I have a high vg.
NIC is in PG.
The PG / VG ratio is mostly 30/70 in my mixes

VG is what makes clouds and add sweetness you can vape 100% VG. Most work in a 60-100% VG window. PG is a thinner, carries flavor and higher the PG percentage more throat hit. Very few vapers and can go over 50% PG without irritating their throat, but the higher PG percentage the less flavor you will need. If you have a tank setup and are having feeding problems you may need to adjust you pg percentage to thicken or thin you eliquid. In a nut shell, 70VG/30PG is a good jumping off point, but if more clouds wanted go more VG, more throat hit and a bump in flavor a higher PG percentage should do the trick.

I use a 65/35 most of the time, mostly cause I'm a flavor junkie. When pollen levels are high I have to use less PG because of nature.
Same here, on the high end. Lowest VG mix for me is 15%, but I usually shoot for 65/35 (from NLV days).
Same for me, DP, about 65 PG. Or 70
No surprise, DavidOck. It seems we travel along a very similar vape-karma-thingie. Mods, tanks, juice...
Threads.
Clouds are overrated.
Well when tree and grass pollen levels are high my throat gets irritated and PG seems to make it worse so I cut down the percentage.
70 PG lets me vape in stores without getting nasty stares. You just have to find an empty aisle here and there.

Big time
I've made and vaped 70PG since I started to vape and mix juice. Higher PG for me seems to enhance flavor over a high VG mix. I've never been a cloud chaser, I'm looking for a little more throat hit with more flavor.
Likewise. Enough vapor to keep fooling my pea-brain, some TH, good flavor. Kept me an ex-smoker for almost 10 years
