Question of the Day: What does "Max VG" really mean?

[ddirtyvapes]

Because it's not "100%" VG... or is it?

All VG besides flavorings in PG?

All VG besides flavorings and nic in PG?

Actual, 100% VG?

Does it vary vendor-to-vendor? I hate that.

I don't have a PG problem as far as I know and actually prefer around 80VG but I'm curious as to what you believe or KNOW "Max VG" to mean.

Max VG as I understand it - the juice maker does not put any extra PG in the mix. So, if the nic or flavoring has PG in it, that is the only PG in the mix.

That's pretty much how I understand it, too, but I hate not having a real ratio. Any given juice could have some flavors that are VG, some that are PG, of course the nicotine could be either too... I dislike that Max VG is bound to mean different things depending on where you get it! "70/30 VG/PG" means the same thing everywhere, if it's accurate.

Just curious about it. As I kind of alluded to, I rarely buy Max VG regardless!

I think it would be hard to give an actual VG rating for MAX VG juice because I think the only PG is the flavoring and would vary on different recipes. VG based nicotine is pretty common. For me I've found that a little PG really helps the flavors shine and will usually order mine with a 80/20 mix or something like that.

I was told of one company that uses VG flavoring, Clouds of Goodness. This was told to me by my local B&M owner that carries the line. I've never looked in to whether it's really true but it's great juice. I cannot say that it's impossible to make VG flavoring as PG is just a component that could be substituted in the formula but they would need a thinning agent to help with wicking. I have always wondered if you can purchase VG based flavor as I've not seen it.

I believe most, or rather all, VG-based flavorings (including those from Nude Nicotine) have alcohol in them or some other organic solvent. VG is not good for extraction/dilution of flavors. If there are no PG in juice, it should have some water or/and alcohol, otherwise it will be not vapeable it tanks (wicking issues).

Was on a pure vg search for my dad who would cough with any pg added, found many pure 100vg but still didn't work well until i stumbled upon virginvapor they have an absolute line that is alcohol free and seems to do the trick as he can vape it without coughing, he still smokes cigs but at least he has cut down i hope to get him totally off it.
