PG vs. VG

[NukeDOC]

forgive me if im asking a common question. i did a search but couldnt find the answer.

i have seen two types of liquid offered on LF. one is PG and the other VG. it gives a quick description of the difference between the two. but i was wondering, since the PG has a propylene base, is it more unhealthy than the VG, which is vegetable based?

reason im asking is because there are sooooooooooo many more flavor options on their site for PG liqs that i want to sample, but am afraid to try because i know nothing of propylene. other reason is because i use a joye 510 now and i remember reading somewhere here that since the coil burns hotter on these that they work best with VG based liqs.

please enlighten me as i am so wanting to try out those other flavors!!!

PG gives more throat hit, VG produces more vapor and add's some sweetness, IMO 80/20 70/30 mix of PG/VG is the right blend. PG is FDA approved to be used in quite a few items.

@breaktru: i thought about that but im still a noob at this. im sure i could figure it out and pick it up pretty quickly, but right now im just not ready for mixing my own juice. i just want to buy and smoke it! hahaha

@TLR: so then since its FDA approved its just as safe as VG?

From what I understand in addition to what was written in the posts above, is that most vendors(be sure to read their sites) use United States Pure(USP) for both PG VG. And nicotine that is manufacured in US. This means that they follow the FDA rules and regs in the manufacturing of them and in selling them to other companies and the public. Google them, read, read, read.

Hope this helps
