Just wonder if flavors such as PG Hype or PG Bees Knees are called that because they are 100% PG? Anything over a 50/50 I usually cannot vape, possibly because of a sensitivity to PG. Anyone know?

Any of our e-juices that say PG contain less than 10% PG in them. All of our other e-juices that do not say PG contain 100% VG. Hope that helps!

Does this mean that the flavors, base, and nicotine are all 100%VG, or just the base/nicotine? A friend of mine received a bottle of Boba's not too long ago and it had a new ingredient list on it, and one of the ingredients was PG.

We use a standard nicotine label for all of our bottles since we ordered the labels in bulk . Only the e-juices that say PG on the front label contain PG all of the other e-juices are 100% VG. We just wanted to ensure all of the ingredients we used were listed on the bottles, it doesn't necessarily mean the e-juice you purchased contains all these ingredients. Hope that helps!

I had replied to a diff thread about this labeling thing.

How can they be 100% VG? im confused because 99.5% (guesstimate) of all available flavorings are not pure vg flavors. Flavoring carrier bases are mostly either PG or Alcohol. Or a combination of those. Nearly zero are available in all vg or even more less, a water base carrier. Something like cinnamon which is clearly in a juice like Bobas doesnt even mix well in pure VG unless alcohol, dist water, or PG is involved.

Are you saying the base is all VG (i.e. the nic carrier)? or the entire juice is all VG? Water has to be involved. Even VG with 40% flavoring if the flavors could be all VG would never wick in an atty.... sorry a confused customer here...

Im confused as well by the labeling. I understand a standard label but most customers go by what is on the label. My Bobas label says it has PG in it. As someone PG sensitive that shouldnt be a listed ingredient on the bottle if its not in the juice.

BTW, my bobas does taste like there is quite a bit of PG in it. Its got that (what I call) stale PG taste that all PG heavier juices have... and my buds are not wonky.

To clarify the base of our e-juice that does not contain PG is 100% VG. The e-juices that do have PG contain less than 10% PG the rest of the base is VG. As for the labeling we use a standard Nicotine label for all of our bottles like I stated above just because it says PG in the ingredients does not mean that particular e-juice contains PG. If you look on our website none of the tobacco flavors say PG even on the sweet flavors you will notice some e-juices say PG and others don't. If it does not say PG in the name of the e-juice then it DOES NOT contain PG. All of our tobacco flavors such as Boba's contain 100% VG we do not put PG in them. Hope that helps!

It does help explain better. Im still confused as to how the flavorings themselves are all 100% VG tho unless they are alcohol or water based? For a juice to be 100% VG it would have to contain 100% VG Flavoring, even then it would have to be diluted somehow with water or alc, unless you are saying you find water based flavorings or alc based flavorings do not infringe on the 100% VG idea? Dilutents or carriers like those arent used?

To further clarify: Any juice with the label PG has 10% or less PG in it. The ONLY reason for the added PG is that some flavoring only comes based in PG. Even then we work with companies to reduce that as much as possible.

Firstly, we are a company that caters to those people who are PG intolerant or allergic. Because of this we label our PG or VG liquids differently than most vendors. The "PG" typed into our labels is to show that it contains some PG, so that someone who is prone to the dry throat PG gives will know that it is possible with the liquid and to vape carefully. Unless it is labeled as a "PG" liquid it will be VG, through and through, in place of propylene glycol.

EDIT: yes the 100% is not a percentage on breakdown of the product but a clarification on the ever on-going "is it PG or VG" battle. Neither I, nor Wookie1 will be giving a detailed breakdown of ingredients to a liquid. *Spock eyebrow*
