They are the base.. or what the nic and flavor is suspended in. Pg-propelyne glycol is thinner, and considered to give more throat hit, and transfer flavor better. Vg- vegetable glycerin is a lot thicker and considered to give more vapor, and IMHO better lung hit.
I personally prefer a ratio of 70vg 30pg, and sometimes 50/50. But others go all pg or all VG or somewhere in between... its all up to personal preference, and can take some experimenting to figure it out.

Flavoring usually about 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG Propylene Glycol USP) enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like - many of us believe PG to be a throat irritant.
VG (Vegetable Glycerin USP)= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG.
