Pg - vg

[Jaken482]

What is PG and VG and what are the differences, sorry for asking but i do not know what they are and just buy any flavour of e liquid i like without worrying about all that.

But i thought it would be nice to know what they are.

PG - Propylene Glycol - More Throat hit , more flavour , less viscous , less vapor
VG - Vegetable Glycerin - Less throat hit , less flavour , more viscous , more vapor

 

[Ferris419]

Pg - propylene glycol
Vg - vegetable glycerine

Pg is thinner ... Helps with throat hit and flavor

Vg is thicker helps create more vapor!

There's a thread that tells all about it but I'm on my phone or I would look it up for ya

Stelioska has it down, though I might add that VG does add a bit more "sweetness" to the flavour.

I think 50 -50 is the perfect flavor

What I have noticed is that darker juices with a reasonably high VG level tend to erode the performance of standard cartos with filler.

What PV are you using? And do you use cartos, attys, tanks ?

Bc that def should be taken into account on what would be the best ratio to use

Thanks but what do you mean by more vicious?

Thickness of fluid as opposed to really "watery." an make a difference if you are using an e-cig/cart/cato/tank that needs an easy flow of liquid, since a liquid with high viscosity may not flow enough to keep up with the e-cig.

Propylene Glycol is a petroleum by-product, as are many chemicals today. Vegetable Glycerin is vegetable in origin and is produced from vegetable oil.

PG can produce clouds of vapor at higher voltages, but VG does that with 3.4v and 3.7v. PG can be irritating to some people and so can VG if you have allergies to vegetable sources. A mix of the two is most popular. You get more throat hit and flavor than plain VG and more vapor as well than PG.

Ohh great thanks I think I will move to pg liquids now I know what is better.

Cheers

Thick VG juices do not work well at all in eGo tanks. They work a lot better with mostly PG juices. Try an 80PG/20VG juice, that ratio works well in eGo tanks

I think I'm one of the few who prefer the VG juice as I like large clouds of vapor. If I can't see it, I feel like its not working. I know it's totally in my head, but that doesn't make it any less real!

Agree 100%. I find pure PG to be a little to harsh. The nicotine I use is 50/50. I use PG for my neutral base. My flavoring has a PG base as well. I find just enough VG to help with the vapor and take a little off the harshness. I found the 50/50 nicotine does that perfectly.

Right there with you, I'm a VG 100% guy myself

I use KR808 cartos. I had very dark juices with a 60/40 vg/pg ratio and it started lacking after about 2 refills. The cartos were worthless afterward. Clear or almost clear juices with the same ratio have been no problem.
