I had a large supply of Nude Nicotine in a freezer under Argon gas. However, shortly after they came out with the salt formulation, I started buying and using that as my regular mix. I like it, I can tell a big difference in throat irritation (hit) which I do not like. I upped my concentration to 18% and tolerate that quite well. I can't see any benefit to using it other than the lack of irritation.

Nude Nic has it in 3 different formulations, with variations in throat hit. I agree that absence of throat hit would be the only thing that matters, so I just ordered a "free" ($2.75 shipping) 15 ml sample of the "smooth" version at 100 mg/ml nic level. Smooth has the least amount of throat hit of the three versions, and I ordered it in 100% VG.
For larger quantities, Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers is less expensive, but they only make one formulation.
I, too, went the sample route. I was sure that the advertised benefit was real before committing to a large purchase.
Harsh TH is why I've reduced my nic. I don't think I can go much/any lower without effecting other things too.
I've heard people are working on a way to transform their already stocked up regular nic into nic salts. The results seem mixed so far.
BTW, today it's 7 years since my last cigarette!
Wahooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! that's fantastic!!!!
I'm just the opposite from y'all. I want as much throat hit as I can get!
I'm guessing you use the highest VG possible, to keep throat hit as low as you can. Am I right?
Happy 7th Vaperversary! Yay!
Thank you, all! I can't believe it! Why does 7 years sound SO much longer than 6 years did? Every time I say it, I'm amazed!WOW!! Congratulations!
I wish for you on this, your 7th Vaperversary, a decrease in your disaffection for VG. It sure would reduce throat hit if you could increase the percentage, but I'm sure you know that already. I'm lucky to be among those able to use 90% VG without difficulty.
I did try it once and hated it. But, that was several years ago. Maybe I'll go ahead and try one small bottle of 50/50 to see how it affects me now. What can it hurt?
Well, it IS an extra 365 days, or 8760 hours... and over HALF A MILLION seconds!
Heck, it took me the first to actually think vaping was going to work!
I tried a series of experiments with different PG/VG ratios and found that I'm happy with any amount of VG between about 20% and 40%. Too much makes bigger clouds than I like and reduces TH too much. (I like a serious punch when I inhale.) Too little VG reduces the amount of visible vapor to the point where it's hard to tell if my rig is working properly.
Anything over 50% VG gives me a lot of phlegm - and 50-50 is marginal. Generally mix to about 65PG/35. Enough vapor to be convincing, enough TH to be convincing 
Yes, it is! Thank you!

I've heard that too much VG does cause phlegm and chest congestion for some people.Anything over 50% VG gives me a lot of phlegm - and 50-50 is marginal. Generally mix to about 65PG/35. Enough vapor to be convincing, enough TH to be convincing
I've mixed up a batch of 50/50. I'll give it a try in a couple of days.
You can get VG off the shelf at pharmacies - that's what I do. And then add a bit at a time to small batches to see how it affects you.
