pg base vs vg base

The book on it is that PG gives superior flavor & throat hit, but VG produces more vapor.

Super quick off my head...

PG: Propylene Glycol - thin, made from animals, and higher chance of allergic reactions, but supplies the liquid with a killer Throat hit, and not a massive vapor.

VG: Vegetable Glycerin - thicker, made from well Veggies, sweeter, produces a lot of vapor, not extreme with throat hit, but for me is better over PG.

Alot of liquid suppliers suggest using a 80%PG / 20% VG Blend, but for me I like 50/50 and more times 20% PG / 80% VG

To me VG is cleaner tasting, but it can also clog an atty faster when using 100% VG.

I've tried both 100% PG and 100% VG and find no difference in flavoring unless it comes to Coffee or Chocolate flavoring, then I would suggest more PG.

Any reason to why you ask?

VG is also thicker and slightly sweeter.

I like a mix of the two. I like 70pg/30vg (Backwoods Brew's ratio and also a ratio you can select at FreedomSmokeUSA). I also plan to try other ratios.
