The difference between ejuice flavors and consistency?

[jdeedler]

Hi again,

I was checking out a few bottles of e juice I bought earlier today and opened them up to mix in a separate bottle. I noticed that the two tobacco flavors are thinner and pour easier than the chocolate bar flavor. I also noticed the chocolate bar flavor has more vapor when vaping than the tobacco flavor. I read about different flavoring having VG or PG as well.
Do you think the difference is because of the type of flavoring or because of different VG/PG mixes??
I just wondered if someone who's vaped a lot of different type of juices has noticed anything like this when creating their own juices.

Thanks in advance and Happy vaping!! Jim

Probably has nothing to do with the flavor or flavoring agents in the e-liquid. It has everything to do with the Pg/Vg ratio.

Pg (propylene glycol) is known as the "flavor carrier" component, to a lesser degree gives some throat hit, and is thinner in consistancy.

Vg (vegetable glycerine) is known as the "vapor maker" component, and is a thicker e-liquid.

The majority of eliquids are found with a 70 Pg/30 Vg -- 30 Pg/70 Vg ratio, with the most of those being a 50/50 mix. Some vendors use a 100% Vg, as some people have a sensitivity or allergy to Pg.


Darker flavors and sweeter flavors may clog coils faster in tanks. Higher Vg ratio can also clog coils because of its thicker consistancy and is a natural sweetener itself.

Thanks for the info they were all from the same company maybe they just use a different mix of VG/PG in the chocolate bar flavor.

I mixed 50/50 between the thicker ( chocolate ) and the thinner ( tobacco's ) and now have a better tasting tobacco juice with more vapor and around 15-16 mg nicotine.

Oh yeah the chocolate bar flavor is very dark.

fun stuff!
