Everyone has a different opinion on the best ratio. I would say it depends on the juice and your setup. I've been using a 50/50 mix since I started, but lately I'm increasing the pg when I order juice because I think the vg is making me a little congested. So I'm experimenting, like everything else with vaping, haha. Basically, pg is thinner and gives more flavor and throat hit. Vg is thicker, sweeter, and gives more vapor. Just try a few different mixes until you find out what you like best.

The juices I've ordered have been 50pg/50vg and a couple of 40/60s. Before reading here, I didn't even know there was a name for "throat hit", which describes perfectly one of the most satisfying things I got from smoking. I will probably always want a good portion of throat hit in my juices, if I am understanding the concept correctly. Also, I saw these components described as propylene glycol (responsible for level of throat hit) and vegetable glycol (responsible for flavor), which made sense since the "vegetable glycol" label seems to reference nicely the notion of flavor/flavorings.

So far I have only rec'd one of the ten or so different juices I've ordered in the last week. It is 50/50, as are several of the others. I did order a few 40/60 because I want to see if I can detect the difference. I may try the entire range in the next few weeks unless I encounter a setting in the process that seems perfect.

For me, I seem to like the 70 VG / 30 PG combination. Supposed to be thicker, but i think the manufacturer (Pink Spot) thins it out with water. I tried a 50/50 from my local store and it was thick. It was hard to prime my cartos and if with 18 mg nicotine, i get a burning sensation on my tongue. This don't happen with Pink Spot. Maybe they aged their juice real good before selling it? I don't know.
