PG and VG

[caz55]

What's the difference/advantages of PG versus VG with regard to the juices? The only thing I have tried so far is the PG, but I just started vaping yesterday. I've read some people are allergic to PG?

Should I try VG or a combination such as 50/50? There are so many choices of juice I am overwhelmed.

By the way, I started out with the Silver Bullet so that's the only e-cig I have used. I wonder if I should have started out with a mod right of the bat, but it seems to be working OK.

Thanks everyone for your help.

The incidence of allergic reactions to either VG or PG is very low. I use either a 50/50 or a 60PG/40VG mix. PG is the better flavor carrier and contributes to stronger throat hit. VG gives a smoother vape and produces more vapor. It also adds a bit of sweetness, but can mute some flavors in high percentages.

Are you dripping with your SB or using cartos?

I'm dripping.

It sounds like you're doing just fine! There's nothing wrong with starting out with a mod as long as you know how to use it. I'm dripping with an Indulgence and a Chameleon and I love them! I use a LR 510 on the Chameleon and a LR 801 on the Indulgence. Tons of taste and vapor from both!

Through trial and error I have realized there is a significant difference in the quality of cartomizers. I ordered a 5 pack of 801 cartos from a vender and they are all air. Who has the good LR cartos for the 801? I'm very unhappy with what I got.

Hey Caz,
Congrats on the change. I would try 100% VG & 100% pg first with 2 different attys. Then try a 50/50 mix and adjust from there. Make sure you use a 3rd atty for the new mix. I use almost 90% VG for the PG scares me. I have spent alot of time researching the differences in VG & PG. Make sure you use them unflavored first & see which experience you like/dislike.
This has worked for me in the same manner for different nic contents & diy flavorings.
The carts taste different so you would use the same technique with the cart.
Hope this helps. It is all trial and error & what works best for you.
Also don't be afraid to spend money tryin g out different things. Be wise though in choosing vendors. Make sure they have been used by others with good experiences. I found this forum to be a wealth of information.
Good Luck.
Happy Vaping!

I have tailored my PG/VG through experimenting. I didn't know any better at first. For me I have found I like more PG for the throat hit and a little VG to mellow it out and produce more vapor. I'm at about 70/80 PG and 20/30 VG now depending on what flavor I'm vaping..

Personally, I love the (VG) Tennessee Cured from Johnson Creek. Not only lots of vapor, but lots of flavor & hit as well. I would recommend it to anyone.
