PG orVG

[skoony]

hi all,
i'm going to purchase some ejuice today off the net.
i decided on mt baker for my first venture at buying juice from a non-local source.
the local stuff has been either pg or vg based depending on the brand.
i've mixed flavors so some are 50/50 pv vg based.
my question is i'm looking for a good % based mix of the two.
100% one way or the other?
or a % in between of the two.
i am looking for a balance of taste and vapor
any recommendations.
regards
mike

I've been told the PG makes the throat hit and VG the vapor, so i think 50/50 would be a good idea. I also want to order from mtbakervapor soon and was thinking of doing 50/50.

30pg-70vg, 40pg/60vg, 50/50, 60pg/40vg.....all good ranges

Ugh.. I hate this part when starting something new. I still haven't determined my ideal pg/vg ratio. I've tried 50/50 and I'm not sure at the moment what some of my other juices are. I really like to have noticeable flavor but I'm wondering if the pg is what is burning my tongue and mouth or if it's the nicotine. I have no idea what ratio I want to get next.. such a difficult choice for a newbie.. Argh!

I hate options!

I doubt that PG is 'burning your tongue.' That is probably due to a flavoring or additive.

I order from MTBaker all the time, and I just get their house mix which is 80%PG 20%VG. I get pretty good vapor. But throat hit and flavor is more important to me, so I like the high PG. Plus, higher VG can clog things up easier than PG.

 

[skoony]

thanks all.
i went with 100 % PG.
i was in a rush to get my shopping done before work.
i will consider your reconmendations on my next purchase.

I'm a big fan of flavor so maybe my next order I'll try 70PG/30PG. My recent orders don't give an option. Space Jam Robo Fuel and Uncle Junk's Genius Juice are as is.

Is it true PG holds more flavor?

 

[Traver]

PG does seem to carry the flavor a bit better than VG. On the other hand VG produces more vapor. Some people like myself are also have a problem with to much PG. If I vape too much of it my throat gets irritated and sore. For me 50/50 works.

I had the same dilemma, what percentage??? GOSH! Sometimes there are too many decisions!

My B&M where I "got my start" (2nd B&M I tried and they were a CLEAR winner for customer service, listening to what I wanted and gauging my habits as I went back. They make their own and it was "pretty good" (had never had any before! LOL) and they had ONLY a "house blend of 60/40". I did not even know to ask about the blend when I first went in and started buying! Even though I had been doing my research on this forum. That shows you how much all the info can fly in one ear and out the other! So when I got to finally ordering juice online, what do I do(??? very puzzled) Well I liked the flavors I picked in 60/40 and a copius amount of vapor is very important to me, I didn't enjoy cigarettes when I couldn't see the smoke either! The more the better. So I learned here that VG is responsible for vapor production, PG can carry flavor better, I just went with 50/50 (giving me ...maybe... 10% more vapor).

I suggest you find #1 (NUMBER 1! for me anyway) *juices that you LIKE or love* as your very first concern. Go for anything that's like 80/20, 70/30, 60/40 or 50/50 in the beginning. Once you find some juices that are ADVs for you (all day vape--something you don't want to put down, lol) THEN go back to the same vendor and get THAT juice, that same amount of nicotine in a different blend. But to me LOVING a few juices and having some "plan B" juice flavors that you like, that would be the first.

Another thing I did (after I'd already ordered everything in 50/50, lol) there were some I sort of liked but felt they could be a bit better so I would check the webpage for the place and see if they listed it or a customer service email to them to find out: what blend do YOU recommend for your juices?

I ordered from Mtbakervapor Friday and ordered 50/50 of cheesecake. I hope it's not too thick and doesn't cause issues with my recently purchased evod. I love this thing so far and I have an ismoka bcc mega on the way as well!

I personally prefer a 50/50 mix

 

[Subdivisions]

50/50 works fine in any kanger bottom coil I've used (evod, protank).

Yep, this is what I did when I got started. If you have no idea what kind of PG/VG blend you like, start with whatever the house blend and/or default option is for PG/VG, then when it's time to reorder, get the flavors you liked in a slightly different PG/VG blend. That way, if you find that you've gone too high for your tastes one way or the other, you can mix your old and new juices together and still be able to vape it. I started at 80/20 and 70/30 (depending on the vendor) and have settled on 50/50 as my sweet spot... but the higher PG juices still got vaped, cause I just mixed them with the new stuff.

Some people are sensitive to PG, some are sensitive to VG, and some are sensitive to neither and just prefer their juice a certain way... so there's no way to know what will work for you without trying some juices. An ideal mix in the eyes of other people, or even in the eyes of the vendor, isn't necessarily what will be ideal for *you*.... so just pick a starting point - as you have - and adjust from there.

I mostly vape 50/50. On occassion, I do enjoy 30/70 or 100% VG for more vapor production. VG creates a smoother vape with less TH. But then my coils get all gunked up so I cannot do it all the time.

I happily went along with my B&Ms juice blends, never even thought about pg/vg ratio, until my lungs seized up. Pg allergy strikes again! Now I'm on a strict 100% vg diet, and prefer to get from dealers that go for organic flavoring. Most will double the flavor for you, so there isn't a loss from lack of pg. And I Vape clouds all day
