I use 100% VG because I am allergic to Pg. Massive amount of vapor, good flavor, low throat hit. No coughing. yeaaa!
At this point I don't see any cons, it may be a little thick so I thin it with a couple of drops of distilled water.
For me any amount of Pg causes horrible headaches and constant coughing with sore throat. And no amount of water I can drink helps.

I like vg juice for the same reasons starzz mentioned.

One con I've found is the wicks on my clearomizers get gunked up pretty fast. Within a couple of days, actually. When they do, I don't get much of a flavor hit.

To get around this, I just have multiple clearomizers and replacement heads. That way, I can just pop a fresh head on there while I clean the gunky ones. I've taken to cleaning my stuff in an ultrasonic cleaner but I find my wicks can still be a bit gunky after several cycles. I like to soak them for a few hours in vodka, then rinse them really well. Vaping from a wick that is still damp with water is unpleasant. So having lots of extras lets me make sure I always have a clean, dry one on hand.

PG in an e-Liquid can Enhance Flavor. It also creates TH. 100% VG e-Liquids Flavors tend to be somewhat Muted.

Also, 100% VG are sometimes Thicker than e-Liquids that contain some PG. And Thinner e-Liquids wick better than Thicker e-Liquids.

I use 30%PG | 70%VG. I can’t use much Higher PG or I start to get a Scratchy Throat.

For the 100% VG users here could you tell me where you get your liquid. Thanks!

I have only gotten mine from Johnson Creek - their red oak line is 100% VG - they must add enough water or something cause it aint think at all. I am not into (yet) fruity flavors - I use their Tennessee and Domestic.

My hubby uses them. I orderd a bottle today. I am a bakery girl but hard to find those king of flavors in VG. Thanks.

They're probably starting with a 100% VG base and then calculating the 5% for the flavors. *A lot* of the flavors used in making e-juice are actually suspended in PG.

My former vender could only manage 85% VG once flavorings were added. Mind you the juices are delicious.

I am new to vaping and like vg. I actually have a hard time valih anything with pg. I smoked lights and they have no throat hit at all so not sure what the craziness for a throat hit is. One downside to vg I have found already is I got a carto tank with one hole and so far it doesn't seem to be taking the juice in from the tank. Also after 3 days of sitting and refilling my vivi nova I have to do a lot of primer puffs before it does t taste burnt.

I tried 100% pg and 60/40 and I think 70/30 trying my hardest to use pg as the options are a lot more but after 2 weeks I am done wasting money and only buying 100% vg even if I have to only use cartos and once I buy some I will definitely try to come on here and do some reviews. HHV is the first on my list as a lot of people seem to like them. I like jcs red oak line but they are pricey.

Hey Lots Of Vapor has many flavors that go from 0vg-95vg+. Many vendors simply write 95vg because of the fact that almost every flavor concentrate is pg base. So instead of listing what percent each one consists of they put 95vg because that is the max amount of vg they can put even though some flavors are even higher in vg then 95 such as tobacco flavors. Other vendors Ive seen put otherwise and not disclosing the full amount of vg they are using. You should definitely contact the vendor you want to shop with and ask. I feel if were paying with our hard earned money they should be honest and not say 100vg. I know lots of vapor has a very friendly customer service and responds fast. So contact your vendor see what they say im interested to know how they respond.
