I love 50/50 :) didn't notice a difference in vapor until I started lung hitting on duallies. Now, I can tell a difference between 50/50 and 65/35 for sure. Haven't tried any MaxVG on duals yet, but never really cared much for higher VG.

Great blog brother!!! Super informative!

I think the first post came out like "he's a MAXVG hater" - not true - it's just really tuned for a specific market... and that market is a small segment of the total vaping community. I'll chase clouds with the best of em... (rarely)

I don't think the first one implied 'Max VG Hater' at all, and the second one is well written and informative too.

As you know, I'm no cloud chaser, nor do I seek specific throat hit - just the ability to carry on without cigarettes. It's been relatively easy not to smoke compared with the problems I've encountered with PG intolerances.
I absolutely love some of the mainstream NT liquids, and can't help but feel a little envy for those able to take such enjoyment from them :laugh:

Thinking positively, I just look forward to a time when you may be able to produce a few Max VG versions of (hopefully) such as Got Cookie, Strawnilla, ACB, PBC, Frenilla, and perhaps similar flavour profiles to Virus and Wakonda (non-NET if it can't be used successfully in Max VG), and others top favourites.

Me too. I've got a good stock of NT VG right now and I'm hoping that lasts until we see a much more diverse line of NT VG. Got your PM Trisha and I'll respond when I've got a little more time. My life is such a circus right now.

So, in my previous blog post, I presented a position for a more balanced eLiquid... here's The Other Side: Pros of MAXVG Liquid

Feedback welcome!~
If I put on my consumer viewpoint hat for a minute my immediate takeaway from those articles is less blogging and more VG making :D. Give people what they want. As you probably remember I wound up over here because you took time out of your day to talk with me about PG quality over on a private forum. Being PG sensitive and someone who had to give away piles of 50/50 liquid because I couldn't vape them my impression of Nicoticket at that time was it's "another one of those PG companies". I gave it a shot but still couldn't vape your 50/50 although I fell in love with some of the VG offerings. If it wasn't for getting to know a lot of the good people here I probably would have wandered off already to find someone who can give me what I need. So from a strictly consumer viewpoint it feels a little bit like you are justifying being "one of those PG companies".

You may be right that not everyone who thinks they are PG sensitive are actually that. But does it matter at the end of the day? I've run into plenty of PG sensitive people on ECF and they are going to buy it somewhere.

Reply whenever you have time - no worries! With email and PM's, I always seem to owe someone a reply, 'stuff' happens! :)

That is just about a carbon copy of my own experiences with Clark, the liquid, and this section of the forum!
So much help, so much love for a lot of the liquids, and so much sadness when I tried so hard, yet still couldn't use the higher PG levels. Then the sheer frustration when I try to find something similar and fail!

I too am very fond of the people here, and even when there's nothing new for me to buy or discuss, I still come here and chat a little when I can.
For me, NT should never be "one of those PG companies" - I'm pretty sure you'll have found this too: NT are one of a small group that can produce superb flavour & quality in blends that are never boring or 'run of the mill'. So far, in my trials (with many errors - I have a fragrant bin!), they are one of a very small group!

You may be right that not everyone who thinks they are PG sensitive are actually that. But does it matter at the end of the day? I've run into plenty of PG sensitive people on ECF and they are going to buy it somewhere.
Yes, I seem to find more people who can't use much or any PG - perhaps to be expected with the increase in vaping.
Equally, others can't tolerate VG, but the ultimate goal is not to smoke and to enjoy this alternative, and for those who have smoked long and hard, it can have it's difficult moments. Having terrific tasting liquids that give few problems go a long way to making it easy.

I have a feeling one day there will be more maxVG offerings from NT. I know NT is having its fair share of issues keeping everything going the way it is right now, but I think in time it'll all get sorted out for the benefit of the many. Sometimes I wonder if I'm one of the even rarer cases with a sensitivity to VG. Anytime I try MaxVG it doesn't hit right for me, there's something weird about it. I never vape it long enough to know if I have a reaction or not though, could just be different than what I'm used to.

You aren't alone. I have many maxVG juices from another company that are very tasty but I can only drip them for a few pulls until I have to set them aside. My lungs get heavy and I get short of breath easier than with blends and phlegm like crazy so that I'm almost gagging.

However maxPG makes my nose bleed and my throat so very dry no amount of drinking water will help.

50/50 is the best for me with 65/35 okay but not great. I certainly understand folks who have to have maxVG as if I only had maxVG I wouldn't have been able to keep vaping. Likewise for them, if they can't have maxVG they can't enjoy vaping. I really hope the wise folks of NT can make maxVG for you folks!

Especially since I love having you here and want you to be able to join in the fun with all of us too :wub:

Megan, your statement about the MaxVG describes me as well! I love Sure Bert but can only do a little bit at a time before I get that chest tightening feeling.

Same here I do best with 50/50 too much VG and I get the "swamp chest" too much PG (looking at you Virus) and I get nosebleeds. Which says as much as I can for my love of it cause I vape the heck out of it anyways. I bought some VG to add to it to see if I can lessen the chances of it cause we all know I ain't giving it up. :)

I'm really bummed for you, Pictor, that the majority of the line is unvapable :( I need to get to work on it - working as fast as I can ;)

Ah, I'm really touched by that - I got spoilt when I was using the NT ones, and when I found I needed to stop using so much PG, I went in search of some similar to my favourite ones .....I reckon that in the past few months I've had perhaps 50 bottles of 'stuff' that come nowhere near what you make. I've found a few that are not too bad, but my favourites are unmatched.

I thought I had it made with the Nicoticket ones and the UK company - made for a great assortment that were all very different and very good, as a result, it was a very sad me that found I couldn't use the extra PG.
So I'm really looking forward to when you can get some Max VG ones made! :) Seeing I only got to use them diluted with a Max VG such as CB, I'd so love to taste them properly!
See, they say what you don't have you can't miss - but once you have had something good, then yes, you do miss it! :facepalm:

I have a feeling one day there will be more maxVG offerings from NT. I know NT is having its fair share of issues keeping everything going the way it is right now, but I think in time it'll all get sorted out for the benefit of the many.
Definitely something to look forward to! :)

It can cause a heaviness in the lungs, and cause some upper respiratory congestion - I get a bit of both, but it's better than the PG problems of not being able to breathe, bleeding sore gums/throat, and a blotchy rash on the face, etc.
Best stick with what gives you no problems - always best when it's just a pleasure :thumb:

So you need to be careful with both, and keep the balance right! Not always easy.
I manage best with what I use if I'm careful to inhale as little as possible, and keep the wattage pretty low.

Yes, it does make a difference being able to buy them and chat about them - I was lucky enough to get a couple of bottles each of PBC & ACB in Max VG months ago, and they're really good. I even loved Virus used at 20% with the CB in Max VG, and I did the same sort of mix with Got Cookie, Strawnilla, Wakonda, & Frenilla, but even that method made the PG level too high, and it gradually became worse - just too ridiculous to use something like an inhaler every day just so that I could use them.

I thought I'd cast caution to the wind a week ago and used some well steeped Virus with CB ...didn't like it! I obviously like Virus fresh and in the first month or two of it's life! So, last week I didn't get far enough to get breathing trouble!
I've even been trying to find some decent PG free ones so that I can use my stash of NT ones - got lots of Got Cookie, Wakonda, Strawnilla, and single bottles or two of many others, and don't want to waste them!

I still love being here because you're all such very nice people! - I'll carry on waiting until Clark can make some Max VG :)
