PG/ VG and Dripping/ Bottom Feeding/ Wicking- Does it even matter ?

[PapawBrett]

In my never-ending search for the better vaping experience, I've started with the old fashioned eGo (dripping), then a REOS mini (bottom-feed mod) and now a eGo-Twist / Kanger T3 combination (wicking). I've found along the way higher PG ratios do light up my allergies, and it's my opinion VG also gives less TH, which I prefer. Do VG juices wick well ? Or should I ask Vendors to make a 'lighter' (?) VG for wicking ? Seems like 70/30 VG/PG wicks better, but I'd still prefer a smoother vape. Or is this all just a figment of my imagination ? Any assistance and/or advice is appreciated, Thanks

VG is thicker, so it is not your imagination. Some vendors will thin with distilled water. Of course, you can do so yourself. About a drop or two per 1 mL. You can also use pure grain alcohol (everklear) or vodka to thin it.

Some vendors who specialize in VG have it already pre-thinned.

I've used 100% VG, rather thick juice, on top coil clearomizers without much of a problem. I sometimes rest my pv on it's side between vapes, so I haven't really hit any problems with getting dry hits. Could also try using a Kanger T3 bottom coil which I have and works great for another 100% VG juice mix that I like.

The only problem I actually ran into was with a 70/30 or 60/40 PG/VG mix that I have. It's real thin, and sometimes it would "flood" the atomizer, making it gurgle. It wicks well, but I have to keep that clearo upright otherwise it'll gurgle again.

The T3 bottom coil is what I've been using for about two weeks now, it's the first clearo I've tried and I like it. About the only hassle I've found is the wicks get dark after a a few refills, so I tried rewicking one with cotton string fibers and it seems smoother. But that's just my trial and error at work.

I wish i could put my two cents in. Ive only vaped straight pg. Good luck finding your answer!

from my experience, anything over 70/30 vg/pg really requires an atomizer

you can use a carto or a tank but it won't work as well...if you have a 2 or 3 punch carto that will help

some people claim success with high vg juices and cartos but I just don't find that to be true in my experience

if you can get into a good rhythm with dripping and high vg juices, you'll be fine

I agree, when I can. I drive a tractor-trailer for a living. Dripping while driving nearly 80000 lbs at 70 mph is not good. My little REO mini is my at-work PV, and it works well for me behind the wheel. VG/PG doesn't seem to be an issue there. But as I get into these VV (twist) and cartos I just wondered about the thickness and wicks.....
