PG vs. VG

[G-webb]

Still pretty new to vaping.
Im rockin an eGo with puresmoke.com juice.
What is the difference between PG vs VG and what % is a good choice?
All of mine now, are 50/50 (I think)

Thanks,
Greg

Personal choice on that one G-webb. I vape 80pg/20vg. As a rule of thumb more pg = bigger TH, more vg = bigger vapor. Vg has a tendancy to mute flavors a little while pg transmits flavors better. if you DIY I have found at 80/20 you can dial back flavor concentartions down to about 10 - 14% range. Of course your tastes will vary.

Everyone says that PG gives better TH, but VG makes thicker vape so shouldn't thicker vape also give better TH?

I have also found that straight PG dries out my mouth and throat much more than VG. When I DIY I use nicotine with PG and the rest VG since the flavors are also PG based. It ends up being about 50/50.

I tried 100% PG, did not like it. I am using 80/20 and 70/30 (pg/vg), like the 70/30 best.

personally i like the thicker vapor (it compensates for the lack of throat hit..for me at least) Also , one thing i have noticed if you tend to get burnt taste in all of your attys, you might want to try 50-60 % vg. I find that I have to drag a little longer but I stopped getting that taste , that I couldn't clean out!

same for me but it depends on what I vape ... for example if I mix my own juice I use a VG nicotine base and dilute with PG and flavours ...

Some pre-made like the DK vanilla for example I vape as 100% VG dripping, DK cherry or menthol preferable as 100% PG, the VG just tastes odd for both ... So I'd say there is no real "that the best mix" as it might differ depending on the flavour ...

I'm new to vaping too and was trying to figure the same thing out. In my opinion I'd prefer the throat hit over the amount of vapor. I had an ecig awhile back and barely got any throat hit with it but an alright amount of vapor. I stopped using it though because the throat hit was not nearly enough. I really wanted to start vaping but I would take a couple drags and then just smoke an analog because that had the throat hit I was looking for. I guess it comes down to personal preference with the pg/vg mixtures and i'll just have to kind of figure it out on my own. I'll definitely be starting with more pg though.

Read some report. PG create Throat Hit and VG create more"smoke". It base on personal feeling or they really taste so ?

60/30 pg/vg it's perfect for cartom!

I mix my own, and I like 60PG/40VG to 70/30, depending on the flavor I'm making.
