PG vs. VG?

[Stytches]

I was curious. Do the two have very different flavors when doing the whole DIY e-juice thing? I noticed that I kinda get a lump feeling in the back of my throat smoking certain flavored regular cartridges (cherry so far, not sure on others yet) and was thinking of switching to the VG for the home brew stuff in an attempt to alleviate the feeling.

Yes. VG causes less irritation, but tastes sweeter, and sometimes has a bit of a soapy taste. PG tastes "drier", probably because it's sucking the moisture out of your mucous membranes, and smells more like smoke machine smoke.

Hmm Sweeter sounds like it'd be really good for a few of the flavors I want to try. Guess I'll have to experiment and see how noticeable the soapy taste is .

Thanks for the info Bertrand

I am afraid VG also causes... how to say that... Well, thinning of the stool up to the point of mild .........

You're only going to consume less than 5mL a day. You'd have to be pretty unlucky.

I use a 50 / 50 mix of vg and pg
to render down my high nic juice,

5ml - 24mg juice + 10 ml of 50/50 mix.
no probs with looseness.
