Hey guys. I just got some juice from Fuzion Vapor and I'm really liking it so far, but it raises a question: The liquid I was getting from a local store was probably about 70/30 PG/VG. I'm not sure what the Fuzion stuff is exactly but judging by the thickness I'd say it's closer to 50/50 or maybe even more VG than PG. With the high PG stuff I was able to vape and vape and vape (at 18 mg!) but trying to do that with the Fuzion stuff (also at 18 mg) and I'm head-rushing a little bit. So does your body absorb more nicotine in higher VG juice? I'm finding the higher VG stuff to just be more satisfying, too. I'd be interested if any of you guys know something.

Personally enjoy a high VG juice, 70-80%, find high PG to harsh, but that's me:D

Doubtful that the VG carries the nic any better, fact I always get nic in a PG base, being thinner, easier to draw, measure, and incorporate into mixed juice.

Likely you just enjoy the new juice, vaping more, also more VG gives denser plumes of vape, which could cause one to inhale more, and hold on to it more before exhaling, plus heck, diff juice, not exactly at same exact nic level, fresh build and fiber, change of watts, all sorts of things could contribute to a better vape.

Sounds more like you are closer to your preferred juice mix. Take note of the VG/PG ratio, and remember next time juice is purchased.

Vape long and Prosper.!!!

Same here. I've had a bunch of different ratios and even if I have to mix a little myself (lots of different ry4 around my house) I vape 40/60 PG/VG or even 35/65. Only exception is special flavors already at 50/50. I generally leave that as is.

my guess is the 70/30 that you are able to vape and vape and vape is not really 18mg.

That could be the case, I don't think it's the highest quality juice out there...

I guess I need to try different liquids with different ratios and see if it makes a difference. Gives me an excuse to try more flavors from different vendors, too.

I gotta say I do like the thicker cloud that the high VG produces, but a little stronger flavor would be nice too. I guess the right ratio is different for everybody, but it's all about finding that balance.
