Vg is much thicker and produces far more vapor with traditionally less throat hit.
Pg is thinner and produces less vapor, but usually pa ks more of a punch in the throat.
Not certain about the health aspect. I believe that we vapers have all used both. I have not personally noticed any difference in my physical state from either one paired against eachother.

I've started to feel strange feelings in my chest (not sure if it is heart or lungs or...). I'm 23 and didn't have any ANY problems with my lungs or heart. Now i started to feel some kind of strange feelings... Can't describe what they are like 
I've been vaping for almost a year.. So i thought maybe PG is starting to do some kind of bad job for my lungs for example... Not sure.. I'm a bit confused about vaping nowadays.. Not sure if these feelings are connected with vaping.. Maybe not.. But that's why i started to be currious about e-liquids..

Can you give some kind of details? I may be having the same experience..
Some people are allergic to PG - if you've been vaping for a short time, you could be experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Not so much from just nicotine, but from the lack there of. Cigarettes are pumped with loads of additional ingredients to make cigarettes taste better, burn slower, and more addictive (among many other things) so when you quit traditional cigarettes and start vaping, sure you're still getting nicotine but it's not the same amount or as quick as getting it from a cigarette. Thus withdrawal symptoms appear, I've had em and now I am fine.
If you've been vaping for a long while and you're experiencing problems, you need to go to the doctor. A lot of people associate e-cigs to any malicious symptoms they receive (I too am guilty of such) when in fact, it could be something else much more serious. Only a professional can tell, seek help if it's bad. Keep in mind that just because you don't smoke cigarettes anymore doesn't mean that it didn't already do it's job (don't mean to scare anyone, but if you're in continued discomfort, you need to see a doctor).

Yeah, actually tomorow i'm going to the doctor in order to see my heart and lungs functions are ok But as i believe, doctor won't see any bad things in my lungs or heart, but the feelings i'm feeling will remain.. So i don't know whether to blame PG or not but it seems that e-cig makes some kind of discomfor for me.. It's not some kind of pain.. It's just some kind of a feeling in my left side of chest.. Not sure if it's lungs or heart.. The feeling is a bit simmilar to the throat hit (only not so hard, mostly like pasive pain which isn't the pain).. Only it's in the chest and apears periodically..So as i know that PG is really dry liquid.. It dries my mouth.. So i believe it can dry my lungs.. That's y hyphotesis.. Maybe VG wouldn't be as dry as PG?

PG and VG are both dryers. I can't say if one would dry more than the other or not. Talk to your doctor about what you're experiencing maybe they can help you isolate the cause. They might even be able to tell you if you'd get less affects from vg than pg. To me it seems strange (if they are cause by vaping) that the symptoms would take this long to show up but I'm not a physician so don't go by me.
A mix of both is the best for taste, vapor, and smoothness. I like 70pg/30vg. It's the standard at Backwoods Brew.
Another point is that you don't have to inhale deeply to absorb nicotine. Most is absorbed through the mucous membranes in the mouth and sinuses. If you pull into the mouth and then french inhale, you get it all without much in the lungs. If you inhale into the lungs, blow it out slowly through the nose for a greater absorption rate.

I've posted all of my info about my visit to doctor here in this thread:

Well from the parts that I read, it sounds like VG would be safer. But, we are smoking it and the good things we read about it are not from burning it and taking it into our lungs.
Cheerio's are probably good for our heart, but smoking them in a pipe may have a different affect.
