PG or VG?

[InhaleGod]

I am unsure of what PG and VG are. I am going to buy some ejuice from V4L and I was just wondering what PG and VG are. Also if you have any suggestions on some good flavors. Thanks! Happy vaping!!!

PG, or propylene glycol, is the most commonly used liquid. It has a longer shelf life and produces a stronger TH. It also tends to be thinner than VG.

VG, or vegetable glycerin, is not as widely available; but it produces more vapor, a gentler TH, and stronger flavors.

Many folks these days use a blend of the two; but for the minority of vapers who have adverse reactions to PG, VG is their best option.

If you are accustomed to 100% PG juices, you may wish to try 80% PG to 20% VG and see what you think.

VG gives me gas and makes my stomache a lil shaky after I vape it for awhile...Sounds awkward but I'm just being honest...I normally use PG 70 or 80 when available...But yeah like the person above me said...PG stronger throat hit, more of the nicotine get's through, and ussually less seeable vapor where as VG you get clouds of vapor, with less of a throat hit...I'd have to say in my experience the flavor enhancement can go either way ddepending on flavor and vender, just the VG makes it more smooth and the PG little more harsh... It's a trial and error thing, and whereas everyone has different preferences..You'll figure it out just by trying different types

VG does the same thing to my hubby. Bad stomach problems.
It doesn't bother me, I justdon't like the feel of the coating it laves in my mouth.

Some people don't like PG.

I'm really not trying to be so obtuse, it's just pretty much a "find what YOU love" thing.
