Question with ordering unflavored nic

[kellogg]

I want to order some unflavored nic to put back for a rainy day. Should I order it all pg or all vg? Which one will last longer or does it make a difference?

Thanks.

I personally use PG nic juice, but it more of a personal preference. I don't know if one would last any longer than the other.

Maybe moving to the desert would help we don't have rainy days. Ok on the serious side I would say it depends what you like to vape as far as the pg/vg mix goes. They both are going to be good for many years. Personally i like around a 50/50 mix. But i get mine in all PG at least double the strength i vape at just because VG is easier to find at local stores like wallymart. Not sure if this helps but if it was me i would get all PG

Edit: by double strength i mean nicotine mg content. Then you can cut it with VG to get 50/50

That's exactly what I do. I get double the strength I want to end up with, and I get PG so I can mix it with my Walmart VG.

Thanks for the replies.

On a side note-I still haven't found the vg at wallyworld. I was there today and looked for it. I found the hydrogen peroxide, witch hazel and lotion-but not vg. The line was too long at the pharmacy to ask, however, the people who work there are pretty worthless as a general rule.

I usually just go to our local cake and candy supply store and pick up flavoring and VG.

Yeh..I have found it at Hobby Lobby in the cake decorating section.....Wilton. Also, I got some at Akins Health Food Store....it was in the area where creams and lotions are (not the food aisles). That is "Now" brand, "100% versatile skin care." I actually like it better. I know CVS has it, too. Probably Walgreens or some other drugstores.

Since most people use a mix of more PG than VG, I would suggest getting your nic juice in PG and use VG to cut it, but it is all a matter of personal preference....

If you really want to find VG at Wallie World, look in the first aid stuff in the pharmacy. I think it's near the Band-Aids and things like that. I think it's located there to be used as a super-duper skin protectant-type thing. From what I remember, they don't have tons of it, so it's a bit hard to spot on the shelf, but the bottle is about 6 inches tall.

Check out the DIY guide. It is filled with a wealth of info. Also scubadan has a great excel spreadsheet to figure how much of each ingredients you need to get to where you want to go. You can access the spreadsheet from the guide. I had the same question a few weeks ago. I settled on pg after a lot of reading and asking. The advice given me was that unless you want to do 100%vg then get pg. More options that way. Also I was told that nic lasts longer in pg.

One thing that has always puzzled me was these post where people talk about running around wally world and all of the local drugstores looking for vg and not finding it, while most online DIY vendors sale it and since they are usually ordering their nic juice and flavorings online why not just add a little vg? Sure it may cost a little more, but I got 4oz of vg at 'One Stop Diy Shop' for around $4 which will last a long time.
