Quick Question Regarding VG/PG ratios

[quinn818]

Hi everyone, I recently got some juices from Pink Spot to use in my first tank. And to be honest, I thought I got rather subtle and mellow flavors to ensure each would at least be vapable, but the majority of them were not very good, at all (I do NOT reccomend their cola, coconut, or peach -- they each taste a lot like chemicals, and I did let them steep).

Anyway, that's neither here nor there. All of the juices feed into my 3.0 OHM cartomizer very well, and none of them have cracked the tank, yet. I believe the owner of the store told me they use a 70VG/30PG base generally. However, she didn't seem to be incredibly certain. Does anyone know for certain what Pink Spot Vapors default mixture is?

If not, would I be safe ordering my next batch in 70VG/30PG or 80VG/20PG from Highbrow Vapors? Or might it cause cracking and/or feeding problems within the cartomizer. I'm not even sure if the PG VG ratio has anything to do with cracking, or if it is more with flavors. If anyone could elaborate on this topic in anyway it would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I had PSV punch my cartos on site, with one hole, but have had no issues thus far.

You're correct that PG/VG have nothing to do with tanks cracking, it's the flavors in the juice that do the damage. There's a thread in the tanks section listing all juices that are known to cause cracking. The VG ratio does effect to carto performance, but there are a lot of variables there too. Some vendors thin VG with water, some don't. So an 80% VG from one vendor may be fine, while the % from another vendor may cause problems. I've no idea what ratio Pink Spot use, their juices are way, way out of what I'm prepared to pay. There'd plenty of good vendors around who produce great juices for a lot less money.

Just to let you know, the most popular PG/VG blends among vapers are 80pg/20vg or 70pg/30vg.

I think the flavoring is the cause, citrus flavors has cracked some of my friends clear tanks in the past. I don't care for citrus flavors myself just my personal preference. I haven't had any cracked tanks thus far I use 50/50 70/30 75/25 etc.

I'm starting to think that they may use 70PG/30VG instead of 70VG/PG like the store told me. That makes a lot more sense.

Higher ratios of VG will wick/absorb slower in cartos. If it seemed that your carto slurped it up fairly fast, I would venture to say that it's higher in PG. Also, flavoring is the cause of cracking.
