I recently started mixing, and I have read a lot about taste vs throat hit, what is everyone's opinion of the best PG to VG ratio... I'm currently satisfied with a 60/40 mix

I vape various mixes but generally stick with 100% PG for my main vape. PG needs a little more voltage for good vapor production, but gives a little more taste and flavor. Cartos work better with all PG, but clear liquids that are VG can work well also.
Any liquid that is dark will be tough to use with a filler carto or one that uses wicking (which is most methods of delivering juice). Dark juices generally have high levels of particulates that clog the fibers.
If you haven't tried a dripper atty, it's a good way to vape, especially if you have to opportunity to sit down and continuously drip into a dripper atty. i don't care especially care for dripping if I'm away from the house. 3 hits and a drip can be cumbersome if you are driving.

I think the ratios are a personal preference. Some people are sensitive to one or the other & will only use 100 VG or PG. The VG is what gives the vapor and the PG is what gives the TH.
Good luck with the DIY & don't forget to share your great mixes.
Have fun & welcome

As for as my personal preference I can't do straight PG, it's just too much throat hit and it makes me cough. I've tried 100vg in an atty before and while It's very smooth with lots of vapor production, it's almost too smooth of a hit for me because it delivers no throat hit.
60/40 is where I wanted to settle when I started mixing, but it turns out the pg/vg ratio for me was more than a personal preference.
For example id like to always use 60/40, but some of the cartos Ive used don't work well with that amount of VG. Clearomizers are even worse for this. I put a 30VG liquid in a clearomizer once and I never could get it to wick fast enough.
So the best PG/VG ratio depends both on your preference and hardware your using.

70pg/30vg for me. It really is a personal preference and whatever works for you is the right mix.
i hear ya. i am trying to stick to 100%VG but mixing is kinda tough . some things dont mix well
for what its worth, I've seen that most of the known e-juice makers/brands are in that same PG/VG ratio ballpark.
where can i read more and understand the PG/VG concept and advantage/disadvantage of each?
Pg gives you better flavor & throat hit... Vg bigger plume of smoke but mellows the taste & throat hit
