PG/VG Blend....huh?!

Someone please help me understand what this means. I have no idea how to choose what blend if I was given a choice when ordering.

Thanks!

propylene glycol= throat hit, very thin liquid
vegetable glycerin= thick vapor with a hint of sweetness, very thick liquid
the most common blend to start with is around 70/30, just the right amount of vapor and throat hit. and adjust to taste so to speak.

70/30, 60/40 etc
the first number is almost always PG the second is VG

Pink, also,.you may want to look into the sensitiviy factor. Some people are sensitive to high PG. For example, I tried 80/30, and had to stop bc I itched all over. Just something to consider, try different ones and find what works for you.

If given the option I opt for 50/50 even though I have gotten 100% of both before to see how I liked it

From my personal experience, liquids that are high in PG taste awful.
They do have a very strong throat hit, but that's definitely not a selling point for me.

Keep in mind, though, liquids that are high in VG are much thicker and harder to wick. You may experience dry hits if your device can't handle the thicker fluid. IMHO, 50/50 blends are a good place to start. From there, you can experiment with different blends and see which you prefer.
