PG vs VG... What mixture do you like and why

[killatoyota4569]

Hey guys Im new and getting into my first E vape cigg and liquids. What kind of ratio do you like and why. Also do you use different ratios for different flavors???

I used this site to read and learn up on what PG and VG was so if your interested take a look. The Ultimate Breakdown of PG vs VG E Juices

Thanks guys if you know any other links or posts for me to read and get into let me know.

I love 100% vg mixture because of the cloud and I diy my own liquid so I can just bump up the flavor ratios to male it taste good but tuats hard becaise I get the ol vapers tounge pretty bad

I use 100% vg as well but thin mine out with water. For 30ml I use 2ml water, 1.5ml worth of flavorings, and the rest nic/vg. It comes out pretty thin and is easy on coils. I feel dehydrated with pg and it bothers my throat after awhile. Never cared to throat hit myself. So vg for smooth as can be vape for me.

I use both 60/40 and 50/50 pg/vg. If I use more than 50% vg, I get really heavy lungs and after a couple of hours of vaping, I feel like I have a gorilla sitting on my chest.

I love the vapor from 50% vg, but I have to say that I prefer the flavor of 60/40.

I can vape most things, but if I have a choice, I'll always choose high VG as PG gives me a degree of chest "heaviness."

50/50 has worked the best for me. I get just enough vapor and throat hit. My wife is sensitive to PG, 30/70 works good for her.
Ordering juices would be so much easier if I could come down on the PG a little but the 30/70 left me feeling unsatisfied--I'm sure its 80/20 in-my-head/because-of-the-drop-in-pg.

50/50 is my go to. I don't like the flavor or feeling of too much vg, but I recommend trying lots until you find your own sweet spot.

I like 75% PG and up, even up to 100% PG, because too much VG (anything over 30%) makes me completely unable to breathe. Mostly I stick to about 75% to 80% PG, but I find that I'm ordering a lot of juices at 100% PG if I have the option, because I like to mix juices, and some of the ones I like to mix are very high VG, some even 95%-100% VG, and I just can't tolerate it.

I like high-vg but I'm staying away from vg-only because they gunk up my coils too quickly. Didn't read the responses so it's probably been said but pg gives more throat hit and stronger flavor, vg makes more vapor. Also it is my understanding that vg produces less formaldehyde.

FWIW
VG gunking coils faster is a common misconception.

Sugars and what not in the flavoring is what gunks coils. Truth.

 

[olderthandirt]

Oh yeah, 24mg 100%VG, 8% WTA, thinned with 10 to 12% vodka.
Easy and plentiful vapor, easy on the throat.

 

[hydruid]

80/20 and sometimes 60/40

 

[supertrunker]

Used to be 50/50 cos i hate maths. Now as high vg as i can get, but it's rather hot in Texas just now so high vg is not an issue.

Yeah, VG just gunks lungs.

I just rewicked an i30 coil that I had been vaping with for a long time. 75vg/25pg unflavored. No gunk, didn't even dry burn.

 

[sedition]

80/20 or 90/10 for me - I want a good throat hit, plus I vape discreetly at work so it's beneficial not to have a fallout cloud above my head.

 

[TreoTahoe]

50/50 or 60/40 is my preferred ratio

 

[popwarhomie]

20PG/80VG or 100%VG

 

[DetraMental]

I like 50/50 because it gives me and my friends the best of both worlds and that's what is available when I order. It's also easy to mix up 50/50.

Not to put a dampener on your coils...but VG is SUGAR... and it is responsible for coil gunk. Glycerin or Glucerol or as we call it Vegetable Glycerin or VG is a Simple Sugar Alcohol or Polyol. By thinning it with distilled water or Saline Or Ethyl Alcohol i,e. ethanol, one can help diminish the rate of coil guckiness...but it doesn't eliminate it entirely.
