When I ordered my juice from Liberty flights, I had a choice of PG or VG. I ordered the PG. I see others are using a mixture. Why are the ones from Liberty all one or the other? It is okay this way?
PG, VG, or should it be mixed?

It looks like their USA premium blend offers a mix of PG/VG. PG seems to boost the TH while VG is a thicker, sweeter base liquid that offers clouds of vapor. Some people like all PG, some all VG, some a mix of the two.

qb, we mix juices all the time, PG, VG, even different flavors from different suppliers. Most juice suppliers cannot or do not want to offer all possibilities, costly. If you really like a flavor, you can email the supplier and request your mixture. Some will comply, some won't. Good luck!
I mix at 75% PG, 25% VG. You could always get 30 ml PG and 10 ml VG at same favor and nic level and mix em.
The suppliers who do juice as an afterthought to hardware are typically reselling imported liquid, and PG/VG mixes are very much the exception.
You might do better to get your juice from stateside vendors who specialize in it, and mix to order. FSUSA comes to mind; they allow you to specify mix ratios via a drop-down menu.
100% PG is good if you don't care about vapor production; wicks fast and has good flavor.
70%PG 30% VG is a little thicker and produces decent vapor and flavor.
80% to 90% VG mixed w/ H2O produces a lot of vapor but may mute flavor.
I get excellent TH w/ all mixes by adjusting nic mg.

Thanks for that. I guess I missed it because I was looking for the smaller try it size 5ml. Thanks to all of you for the replies. Very informative. So much to learn.
PG is thin, lets through the most flavor, lets through the most of nicotine's TH and irritation, makes thin looking vapor
VG is thick, dulls/smooths everything PG lets through, makes thicker more persistent vapor
Most US juice companies offer at least one PG/VG blends and some offer every 10% blend
atomizer w/ cart or drip tip (drip tip for manual batteries only) - use any thickness as long as it wicks faster than you vape (if not then you must thin it)
standard stuffing cartomizers - do not like thick juices. I use 80pg/20vg or less VG. The hotter LR cartos that can only be used on fat battery models and mods (ecigs with 450mah+ batteries) may be able to handle slightly thicker juices since heat loosens juice.
reservoir cartomizers and tanks - 20-30% Vg are good levels for these. If a vendor thins their higher VG juices you may be able to use 50/50. 100% PG works but may leak more easily
With any juices - you may find that lighter clearer juices are less likely to leave flavoring sediement. Sediment will gunk up an atomizer faster causing it to need cleaning sooner. Sediment can clog the the carto stuffing causing sluggish drag and sluggish wicking sooner.
