PG versus VG

[a2dcovert]

Interestingly enough, I happen to be doing a comparison between EcoPure Rich very high (24mg) on one 510 and JC Kona Coffee 24mg PG on another identical 510. Both 510's started with new atomizers and batteries and are as best as I can determine equal e-cigs. I used brand new enpty carts and each 510 has never been used until this test.

Both liquids have very good vapor and throat hit. But, the EcoPure does out perform the JC PG on vapor and hit. I'm not sure if I like the EP Rich flavor or not yet, it is different and it is very strong on the 510.

I have tried the JC VG juice on earlier 510's but it didn't produce the vapor quantity and hit of the EcoPure juice.

I hope this info is helpful.

Do you notice that it does not wick as well as the PG does?

I haven't had any wicking problems using it in my 510. I have a Prodigy on the way that may need thinner fluid though. I'll have to wait and see on that...

Can you describe the flavor this puts out?

I tried vaping a mixture of half 24mg Coffee with half VG yesterday and it tasted like I was vaping straight corn syrup -- which absolutely disgusted me. I am trying to find something that will cut down the sweet taste of the VG.

I notice a slight sweetness, but nothing overwhelming or strong..Maybe the alcohol takes some of the sweetness away? I haven't tried mixing it with water or PG so I can't answer for that...

I just finished cutting 24 mg Coffee flavor 50/50 with VG. I just used a 3 mil bottle. I noticed nothing out of the ordinary:

1) Throat hit was cut in half
2) Vapor increased X 2
3) Coffee flavor was 1/2 as strong
4) I can't taste nicotine or feel how much I am ingesting. (Don't know how others taste nicotine)?

No wicking issues. The larger the device (Janty stick) consumes more liquid than a 901. Penstyle sucks a lot of juice too. Taste was not a problem - there was just less, half as I said. Guess I actually was of no help LOL.

Well, I love that NuVape has 3ml samplers, and that they come with a wonderful (so I hear) little glass dropper bottle if you pay .50 more. So I ordered a couple of flavors I've been wanting to try (cola, watermelon, coconut) in both the PG and the VG variety. Worst comes to worst, I will have six of those wonderful (so I hear) little 3ml dropper bottles and get to try some flavors that Johnson Creek doesn't offer, without the cost of buying larger bottles.

Hopefully it will give me a good direct comparison of PG versus VG juices.
Unless of course it all depends on the manufacturer, and then I am back to square one.

But I'll still have those wonderful (so I hear) little dropper bottles!!

So I got my NuVape order today.

I don't know which ones are PG and which ones are Non-PG at this point.
One set of flavors has a green sticker and one set has a purple sticker.

Anyway, so far I have dripped some watermelon, and I totally get the perfume complaints.
On the other hand, it is still really tasty.


My RN4081 (NPro) atomizer is soaking up some Cola flavor now.
We'll see how that goes shortly.


And yeah, those little 3ml dropper bottles are freaking sweet!
They are going to be perfect for bringing liquid on the go to top off with.

Yikes!! The Cola does not taste so good with that perfume background.

Coconut is the last one I have to try now.
I am thinking that won't go so well with the perfume background either.
But hey, I could be wrong, or maybe it won't be there.

Anyway, the little bottles kick serious *** for sure.


Another good thing about this is that I can taste a LOT of flavors fairly cheaply, but yeah, so far, the perfuminess is an issue. But at least I can get a feel for what it would taste like to vape a certain flavor, as long as I mentally subtract the perfume taste/smell.

 

[DC2]

And finally, the coconut also has that perfume background.
I will be dumping these down the drain now, but it was worth it for the bottles.

So I got my NuVape order today.

I don't know which ones are PG and which ones are Non-PG at this point.
One set of flavors has a green sticker and one set has a purple sticker.

I ordered non-PG and all labels are green.

 

[DC2]

I ordered non-PG and all labels are green.

Thanks Kent.

I still have the watermelon flavor to do some comparisons.
Off the top of my head I'd say I didn't notice any difference between PG and PEG yet.

But after further mental review (now knowing which is which) I may have noticed a difference.
And if true, then I might like the PEG better than the PG without really knowing why right now.

And without really knowing for sure if I actually did notice a difference or not.

I've only ever vaped PG and I can tell you that JC juices are a bit thinner compared to the other PG juices I've used, and certainly wick better.
