PG = More throat hit, more flavour, less vapor, thinner.
VG= More vapor, less throat hit, less flavour, thicker.

Most vendors will either let you choose your PG/VG ratio or tell what the ratio of their juice is. Some like to keep this a secret which I find to be a bit strange and I won't order from those vendors. As for juice that tastes like a traditional cigarette, I can't help you, I don't vape tobacco juices very often. But I'm sure someone will be along to help you out.

So i was completely wrong about the 2 haha. Ok so when i find a website to adjust my pg/vg ratio what would be a good start to work from? Im not looking for tabacoo flavor more or less the feeling i get when i inhale a analog smoke if that makes sense?

i think 50/50 pg vg to start that's what i use. as for juice i use unflavoured juice and i get at least 2 months out of an atomiser . sometimes i add some menthol crystals to the mix. my juice is about 10 mg per ml . some flavours kill atomisers in a couple of days which is why i use unflavoured. not saying they all do though. good luck

Actually, throat hit is derived from the nicotine and carried by the PG; it is somewhat muted by VG. So in order to create more TH you'll probably need to increase your percentage of nic. OTOH you can decrease TH by increasing the VG %, thus softening the "feel" of the juice.

Hope this helps... Happy Vaping! :vapor:

Standards for the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG. I vape 60/ 40. It not only depends on what type of vape you want/ need but also the delivery system you're using- attys. cartos, cart+tank, clearos, etc. Also very important is the PV you're using and the voltage you're vaping at. Some high VG have a tough time with wicking resulting in dry hits whereas some high PG can bring about flooding and possible throat irritation. In regards to TH Warren D. Lockaby's post explains it perfectly.
