PG/VG Ratio for E Juice

[shurpacabra]

hello ecf. new member here.

Most all of the e juices I have purchased so far have been from local B&Ms, so I don't really get to see the PG/VG ratio of my juice. I've mostly tried Halo, Ignite, and Drip. They have nice throat hit and good vapor production, and I assume they are high in PG.

I want to order some new juices online where I have the option to choose my own PG/VG ratio. I want a nice noticeable throat hit, but also a LOT of vapor. I'm thinking 70/30? What do you guys recommend for me, and what do you personally prefer? Thanks a lot, and vape ON!

I started out on a 50/50 mix because I liked the best of both worlds. Rule of thumb is if you want more throat hit, go with more pg. If you want more vapor, go with more vg. Just something you have to play around with really in order to find out what you really like. Just like with flavors. Good luck to you on your journey. It's all fun. Happy vaping.

I diy my own juice and generally go with a 50/50 or 60/40 ratio. I get good throat hit and vapor production with either of them. I've tried 80/20 and 70/30 but vapor production is noticeably less in my opinion, and I don't feel that I'm getting more throat hit either.

The ingredient most responsible for "throat hit" is the concentration of nicotine, then to a lesser degree pg (propylene glycol).

Pg is a better carrier for flavor than vg.

The ingredient most responsible for vapor is vg (vegetable glycerin).

The majority of eliquids have a ratio of 50/50 pg/vg. This gives a nice balance between flavor and vapor production.

Definitely this. I've been around the board and found 50/50 to be my preferred mix. Good wicking, vapor and flavor.

edit: although I'm not really much of a 'cloud-chaser'. Have always been more about the flavor.

PG is added to make flavor stronger. It isn't the best thing to have, almost all companies have it. I'd start with a good 70/30 or even 80/20. 50/50 blends burn my throat

I enjoy VG heavy juices more.

I actually enjoy it so much that I have a VG bottle sitting with sole purpose of lacing any and all juices I like.

It extends their life, and takes down the nic level, and feels a lot smoother on my throat which is a tad sensitive.

I started with 70/30 but the longer I vape the higher VG i use, and the less I can tolerate PG.
All my DIY juices use 70% VG 30% distilled water as a base these days.

thanks, ill consider trying about a 60/40 blend and work from there. I ordered a sample pack from HHV last night at 70/30 (that's the only option) with Dark Horse, Dragons Fire, Gaia, and Huntsman. Ill get one at 60/40 if I like it a lot and see what happens. really appreciate the info, vape on!

I tend to order juice in 50/50 mix.
Works well for me.
Less wicking issues with that mix than high vg ratios, still enough pg to carry a lot of flavor. Good all around mix for me.
Me is the operative word though. It is a personal preference that I have found by experimenting with a variety of different mixes and flavors from different vendors.

After reading through this thread again, im taking yalls advice, I've decided to go with 50/50 and take it from there. thanks everyone, vape on!
