Thinking about switching over to VG juices.

[vapomike]

Well from what I read the VG provides better vapor. So I was thinking about switching to VG next. The PG doesn't really bother me, it dries my throat a little but not enough to be bothersome or something to worry about. Just looking to get some input on this subject. TIA.

If you add VG to ur bottle when its 1/3 or so empty and fill it back to full w/vg--perfect mix in my opinion for a much thicker smoke w/out compromising flavor. Hope this helps! Or, just add a drop to the atty after putting a few drops (not completely filling) ur carts. More flavor the other way tho!

I just placed an order to midwest vapor and they have a pg/vg 50/50 blended juice. I can't comment on it yet though because I don't have it yet but I think it's kinda a pain to always be mixing this stuff.

Is there something wrong with using a pure vg based juice?

i use 50/50 in my homemades and when i order from myfreedomsmokes to get the double flavor liquids, i cut them in half with vg. glycerin from wiltons. 100% vg is too thick and viscous, and may clog your atty. mix with pg or with vodka to thin it out a bit.

I'm using 75% PG and 25%VG. I think that too much VG can clog an atty so you don't want to go over 50% VG. I really like my mix though. Lots of vapor and I like the feeling and taste better too.

If you're looking at VG liquids, I strongly suggest you take a shot at the ECOPure line. No, you're not going to get a huge flavor variety, but they are excellent liquids IMHO.

I use the 36mg unflavored to cut other liquids, and am a huge fan of the Menthol and Rich Menthol base liquids. Just good stuff.....

It does make more vapor, but you don't need 100% VG liquid to get that benefit. A blend of 60% PG / 40% VG does fine for vapor production. Here's a new place (I haven't tried them yet) that uses that proportion for their juices:

The Juice - The Bear Juice

VG is easier on my throat, which is important if I'm working a long stretch at my computer because I tend to vape a lot while doing that. ECOpure Rich is my choice here and I prefer to order it from:

Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store.

Check out "Other VG" for VG-based juices. You're limited to 26mg for strength but sizes range 5 to 20ml and prices are good. I'm ordering from there today-- I gotta try September Wolves flavor, LOL! Oh, and Litchi, and RY1, 2 and 3, and...

I am sitting trying out 2 different liquids right now - same flavour - one is VG based and the other is PG based. The VG based produces less vapor with both 901 and 510 attys. I also thought that VG based would produce more vapor - well it did not.

I also find like jennlsnoopy and maxUt wrote that a mix with more PG and less VG,( but some VG ) produces the best vapor - and bring out flavours better than a pure VG based.

I mix everything with 30-40% menthol VG. Attys last forever, plenty of vapor, good throat hit and on the stronger flavors, you really don't notice the menthol, it just seems to add to the flavor.

VG won't actually "clog" atomizers unless it isn't thinned with water or an ethanol and water mix. Even then, it isn't really "clogging" the atomizer. Glycerol has a high boiling (read vaporization) point, but this is reduced (drastically) by the addition of water. Thus, if someone is trying to vape near-pure glycerol, not only is it going to be too thick to "flow" it is going to cause a problem as the atomizer will have to get a lot hotter than it was designed for.

Also, it should be noted that glycerol leaves absolutely no residue when heated and vaporized and is not, chemically speaking, able to "gunk up" an atomizer.

Agreed. The right mix as you state doesn't hurt attys one bit.

Note-if you use water to dilute the glyceryn, use distilled water.
