sometimes, vaping CAN cause poblems.

So you're using VG based nicotine liquid, too?

Yes

 

[ChelsB]

Yes

I vape max VG but use PG as it’s my understanding it lasts longer in storage. But it makes me have to use VG based flavorings

 

[susieqz]

nic in pg lasts longer in storage?
rats.
i bot 50/50 n i don't even like vg.

In @Rossum's wonderful thread covering his nic-freezing experiment, he found that the 100% VG nic held up better. The downside, of course, is that it's thicker than molasses straight out of the freezer.

Is there a max VG or 100% VG base that's organic, by any chance?

I'm using 5 year old PG and VG base nic, and find no difference.
Both look and taste like the day they were bought in 2014.
In the freezer at -15f of course.

I stand corrected. I wish I would’ve read this five minutes ago I just ordered a bottle of PG based!

Personally, if i vape anything other than 80 VG 20 PG (in flavour), i feel a horrid burning sensation in my throat!

I was getting issues with PG, as well. Some brands bother me more than others though.

Which brand did you find the worst? I feel sometimes some companies don't get pg vg ratios perfectly right

 

[Nancy D]

I used to vape Cuttwood and Uncle Junk about 5 years ago, so when I started vaping again I rushed to get them again. I went thru 2 tanks and put em aside. (If ever I am truly hard up, who knows?)

I've seen brands list levels incorrectly in just one ad or listing. Like it will say 70-30 one place and 65-35 or 80-20 elsewhere. (Probably at some supply place I was browsing.)

Its a shame when it happens i guess, ive only ever tried flavours in PG, whats your stance on on VG flavour making a true max VG juice

I haven't mixed yet DIY, but the place I get juice from a lot gives you a choice of base plus they list if the flavors have PG, artificial or natural flavors, organic et al.
So I can get 30mls of Organic VG (100 %, diluted with h20). These haven't really given me a sore nose, inside or out!
How long have you been making your own, btw?

 

[Nancy D]

30

30 mls for $17 oops. Not cheap but okay.

(snip) Back when I started vaping lots of people were vaping 90pg, me included. It probably the reason I've been a 10W Tootle Puffer since starting to vape. All I ever wanted to do is recreate the effect of smoking a cigarette.

Perhaps my Fuma was 90pg?... I do not know but they reportedly had 24ml of nic and each drag was a new adventure in pain. Yet I DID NOT WANT A CIGARETTE for at least an hour. The pods kept bursting and the juice made my face numb but they sure did work.

When I had the guts to try vaping again a few years later I was hoping to get the same effect. Not even close. So I settled on comfortable drags using 60-70 vg. Ahhh, nice n smooth. I owe a big thank you to whomever invented that mixture.

Only issue I have is occasional vape tongue. Sure I cough a bit more by sundown than when smoking but it's my lungs clearing out some.

Now high dose salt nic makes my asthma flare up. So I walk around in a drunken stooper between the nicotine buzz and lack of o2. No thank ya.

But do you think that the sundown coughing is related to PG? Or artificial flavoring? Or just dreck coming out of your lungs?
When you said you were looking to recreate the painful experience, I had to laugh!

That was Kurt's assertion some years ago. I haven't seem a whole lot of difference so far.

I wouldn't worry about it. Either one will last for many years in the freezer.

 

[susieqz]

my nicotine is in a 50/50 mix.
it seems liquid in the freezer.
i forgot to put it in small bottles.

must i bring it to room temp before i pour some out?
i worry that extra freeze/thaw cycles aren't great.
