PG or VG

[Latham]

Would somebody please explain to me the pros and cons of PG vs VG? Does one produce more vapor? Does one have a better taste? I would really appreciate some insight beside the fact of sensitivity some people have to PG.

Theres so much on this. You have to scan the forums... ask the vets etc...
Basically, it is commonly believed that PG gives better throat hit and flavor while VG gives greater vapor. Most juices are a blend.

But really, it comes down to a personal preference.

I prefer VG.
I notice the increase in vapor. I prefer the flavor...
and I have no problem with throat hit whatsoever...

Just buy some of both and get a blend.

It's really a preference thing unless you have a PG allergy.

Hopefully someone can post a link to the wealth of info...
I'm tired and gotta hit the hay ;-)

Personally I prefer a mix of PG & VG - Ive had both 100% PG and 100% VG btw - but I go back to the mix as it seems to have everything I want; both good flavor and decent vapor (TH isn't as huge a deal as I thought now Ive been vaping a while). I tend to go with 80/20 PG/VG or 70/30.
The quick n dirty version is
PG - more Th and flavor
VG - more vapor

I was vaping 70 pg/30 vg mix for flavor and vapor.I would get no vapor when it was hot out from just pg.I now vape only vg do to problem vaping to much pg, but I get clouds of vapor with just vg.The flavor is a lot liter though.

I thought I saw some where that you gould buy the VG in drug stores is this true if so what is the cost. Can you add it to juice you have to make more vapor.

I buy the Humco brand VG at Walmart in the hand lotion area, I think it runs about $3.00 for a 4oz bottle, but very cheap. All of my home made juices are a mix of PG and VG, mostly 70/30. That's enough VG to add to the vapor without diluting the flavor much at all.

On some of my "store bought" juiced I do add a little VG to add to the vapor. I like thevaporroom.net Hot Cinnamon Candy juice with about 10% VG added.

If you try to use the VG straight, you will need to thin it down a bit, maybe 10% with distilled water or PGA. Used by itself with no flavoring added it makes a heavy vapor that is slightly sweet.

I get mine @ CVS, and I keep an eye out for when it's on sale and stock up so usually my cost is like two/three dollars for a six ounce bottle.
