Hmm on this re-visit to vaping I have been doing 50-50 and having canker sores, wondering now if it is the PG doing it to me... Going to have to get some pure VG to try out this payday thanks guys.
I've been using either 50/50 or 70/30 PG VG
Though after trying out Gorilla juice & Boba's I'm really like VG.
Going to play around and see what I like when my DIY gear arrives.

My experience is exactly the same ---make my juices 80/20 or 70/30 PG VG as a rule.
Due to severe sensitivity (rash, tongue blisters, joint pain) I cannot vape PG based liquids. 100% vg thinned out with some distilled water or vodka for me. Bit sad though, there are a lot of juices I want to try that only do PG blends 
I typically vape in the 70/30 PG/VG range. That ratio supplies enough to satisfy my taste and vapor production needs.
65 - 75% PG. If I go towards 0 PG I also get a bit of heaviness in the chest, particularly noticeable when running.
100% PG free juice here. I started out that way then ventured out to try different juices. PG makes me wheeze, sore mouth, terrible temple headaches. I will stick with PG free juice. I wish more vendors would offer it.
Me, too. What's funny is that I started on 50/50 and had no problems . .for a few weeks. Then I started getting headaches and dry, swollen lips (my lips felt like they'd been shot with novacaine).
NOW - I have a huge PG intolerance. 1-2 puffs and I feel the adverse effects. VG does make my chest feel heavy, too . . so honestly I'm not sure how much longer I'll be vaping.
I use 100% VG. If I use PG I can tolerate 50/50 maybe half a day, but then I get wheezing, can't catch a deep breath and my lungs feel tight and almost scary uncomfortable. VG can cause the exact same symptoms to those who are sensitive to it.
All of the above. 100% VG here. I haven't used any of the rebuildable atty's, but I use a simple 510 atty to drip and I use Smoktech cartos alone and in tanks. I've tried all sorts of devices, though. These are just what I liked best.
Cool thanks. I use a 50/50 blend now but I was thinking of going 70/30 but was afraid of clogging my carts in a tank. I'm not opposed to dripping its just not great for work. Appreciate the input.
Let's call it an on-topic side-track sorta thing.
You can't really go by my experience: I'm weird - I never found a carto I liked (and I tried 'em all) so I only use attys. I don't know if it has anything to do with using 100 VG stuff, but for me I get flavor with attys, cartos all tasted like I was sucking on air.
So... for attys? JoyeTech eGo XL type B. (Some places call them eGo MEGA attys so it can be confusing.) They are huge, eGo threaded, and the carts that go in these suckers can hold up to 2.5 ml's of liquid. You can vape for hours before you need to add any liquid to the cart. And they don't care about the thickness of the liquids - total non issue for a great working setup.
The stuff I primarily use is really thick VG, from The Vapor Room, and yes - that can create problems for cartos and tank setups. For one, the only successful method I used to properly fill a carto was a syringe. The stuff is just too thick to trust any other method to get liquid all the way to the bottom of a carto. A carto tank setup was probably the best thing to keep a carto saturated. And top coil devices like ViVi Nova's never worked more than 4 days for me before the wick got cruddy and was impossible to keep saturated, no matter how full the tank was.
The creative approach to dealing it if you are ordering from a place that has thick VG stuff is to order extra flavor, flavor shots, or whatever they may call it so you have the "extra flavor room" to dilute it a bit with some distilled water. VG breaks down when exposed to water so it takes very little added h20 to get it to a consistency you want.
