I'm assuming it's PG based. I didn't specify VG.

I do believe 100% PG is the default on TV's site ordering thingy... I ordered mine with a high amount of VG (35%), but with special instructions for Geoff to lower the amount of the VG if, in his opinion, too much of the taste is being compromised... as long as I'm not vaping straight PG, I'm good... the stuff makes my mouth feel a bit raw and sets my teeth on edge...

Thanks for the info and I'll post a review when they come in...

I've noticed a small amount of tooth sensitivity, however I've had sensitive teeth for a while and recently stopped using sensodyne. Does PG cause sensitive teeth?

I've been watching my mouth closely for any adverse reactions, thus far the only thing I noticed was a bit of bleeding a week or so in. That has stopped so I assume that was just my mouth starting to heal.

My gums are now pinker than they were, which afaik is a good thing.

To your first query, I'm not totally positive on that... about a week before I started vaping, I accidentally bought a medium-bristle toothbrush... I'm used to using a soft one... that's what my dentist gives me, anyway... so I'm pretty sure that may be part of the problem... but I do get a strange feeling throughout my mouth with straight PG... and PG doesn't give a nice cloud, so...

And yes, pink gums are supposed to be healthy... and don't forget to floss, especially at night! As far as tooth decay is concerned, flossing is probably more important than brushing, AFAIK...

Man, my mouth is watering thinking about that concoction you invented... thanks a lot, buddy! :p

PG can definitely dry your mouth. That's not a good thing -- saliva is a broom for bacteria, so people who suffer from chronic dry mouth usually have a very high rate of cavities (caries). I've been drinking more liquids and still noticing I might be developing a cavity or two for the first time in a long time. 8-o That's all I know about PG + dental health.

As to VG/PG mix, I've gotten 50/50 VG/PG on the doublers so far. The consistency is never too thick, and it's a great balance of flavor and vapor production. On nicotine liquids I've had success with 30/70 VG/PG (which he now offers as "35% VG" for strengths of 12+24mg). Outstanding throat hit and good vapor. I definitely wouldn't leave the VG out. I love that you can specify the blend.
