Question about blends

[Marduk]

Hello all, I guess I'm new here.

I have a question about blends of VG and PG. I was having trouble with my old setup getting any respectable amount of vapor. (Kangertech protank 3 with a twist battery.) I recently got an Aspire nautilus and an istick eleaf. I am now producing vapor like a champ. However, I am getting a little too much of a throat hit from my 50/50 mix (Pure Vape Indy). I have done enough research to know that mixes with higher VG will produce less throat hit.

Now, my question is this: when a mix is, for example, 50/50 or 80/20 which number represents VG and which represents PG?

I am hoping it is VG/PG because I will be going out of town, to where I used to live, where I can buy "80/20" (Hoosier Vapes).

Thanks in advance!

The vendor specifies whether it is VG/PG or PG/VG. More common for the higher number to be VG, but not always.

There's no standard, it used to be PG/VG but I've seen it both ways. Usually it will say somewhere on the site. You may also want to look into lowering your nic. If you're getting more vapor, the nic might be hitting your throat harder.

Don't quote me on this, but most of the time, the ratio xx/xx is PG/VG. Like others have said, sometimes its flipped, but not nearly as common. You may want to verify that with your vendor as high PG blends will absorb a lot faster into your system and metabolize quicker than a high VG. Not much to it, though you may get Nic nausea a lot quicker with those blends. Hope this helps!

I went from a kanger to a Nautilus Mini and noticed the same thing. I was using 65/35 PG/VG and had to kick it down to 50/50. I also had to bump down the voltage on the iStick to voltage to 1.8 + coil Ohms. I was running my kanger and Innokin iStick vv at 4.4 volts for a 2.2 ohm coil. Maybe it's my imagination but the eLeaf seems to run coils a lot hotter.

50/50 the pg is 50
If you have 80 / 20 as said above usualy 80 would be pg. If the juice is thin and watery 80 pg. Thick and syrupy 80 vg.

Hoosier Vapes has been around for a few years. I suspect they use the traditional PG/VG listing.

i personally like 50/50

Usually the PG preceeds the VG so an 80/20 is 80PG and 20VG but it should specify if it is the opposite
