Propylene Glycol And Begetable Glycerin

[skybluish]

PG (Propylene Glycol) - used in food flavorings and also in fog machines at nightclubs to produce the smoke appearance. PG gives a better throat hit and carries flavor better. Some people are sensitive to PG. Most commonly used base liquid in the market today.
VG (Vegetable Glycerin) - much thicker than PG and is derived from vegtables. Lesser allergic reaction compared to PG. Harder draw and might clog atties at 100%.

I got this from a website. Generally what is recommend in terms of percentage for a new e.cig smoker? Like pg60%,vg40% that kind. Should i just take pg100%?

Welcome to ECF.
The usual mixture is 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG . The thicker juices (more heavily laden with VG) are not soaked up by the stuffing easily and clog cartos and attys quicker. When using tanks vapers prefer a more liquid/ PG solution.

The other thing that VG provides is more vapor. This is why most people include 10-25% VG in their mixture.

I like a 50/50 blend.....it is really a matter of personal preference.....some people, as you said, are allergic to pg...when using 100% vg I usually thin it with 10%-15% distilled water before adding nic and flavoring if you DIY...if buying 100% ejuice from a vendor, you can ask them to thin it for you....

Pure begetable glycerin fogs the most, but almost impossible to find. Hehee. Sorry tired giggles.

It all depends on your personal taste and the equipment you are using. I would start at 70PG/30VG and adjust the mixture from there to get the desired results.

Okay thanks. Cuz i was preparing to order like 3 bottles of 10ml in one shot. So i wanted to get the correct mixture before buying.

Always a good idea to have some Vg and PG to customize your juice in case you want/ need extra vapor, flavor or TH.VG USP can be bought at any pharmacy in the band aid section/ first aid section but PG sometimes harder to find.
Now that you have 5 posts you can post in the Singapore Vapers Forum and send/ receive emails/ pm's. Seeing as there are problems associated with vaping in Singapore they may have some tips for you.

Good Luck and please keep us updated, Vapoor.

I found "pure glycerin" USP at CVS. I got a 6oz bottle for about $5. I googled it & found that it is VG & will work after being thinned with grain alcohol or water.

I started off using the 50/50 mixture that my local supplier carries. It wasn't till I ordered online from Virgin Vapors that I tried the 100% VG mixture. Oddly enough... it all seemed about the same to me. The 100% VG seemed almost drier to me, but it could have been the flavor I was using as well. Personally, I enjoy the mist... it's what makes me feel like I'm smoking a real cigarette (which, by the way... I've not had a real one in 2 days and I'm not missing them at all). I think maybe being new (like me... I've only been vaping about 1 1/2 months) you just need to try a few different blends and find the one that is right for you. I think I've decided that I prefer the 50/50 with a lower resistence atomizer... it's what works best for me to get that throat hit that I love so much.

I'm a vegetarian)), but I won't be buying veg glycerin, unless blended with PG. I have heard VG clogs much easier as well, and I'm looking for mileage on the attys.

I'm in Tucson, Az. & I got a 6oz bottle of VG at CVS for $5 & change.
