Umm...not thrilled with taste of VG

[Raven1]

Thanks for the suggestion, but the I must be overly sensitive to the flavor of VG - for some reason I didn't think it would be THIS different than PG. I know the PG carts have some in there but it must be going over my internal "line" if it's more than 20%.

I'm not a mixer. Don't want, nor think, I should mess with chemicals. The farthest I go is to refill.

I have some plain, pure VG (not an e-juice - no nic in it) that I keep for DIY. I've vaped it straight w/some added flavouring. It's very very thick but it vapes very well. I must say here, it's not the VG you're having probs with. It is that most suppliers "water down" their VG to get it thinner and this probably affects the flavour as well. Pure VG does not have a flavour problem at all (it's flavourless). And it produces tons of vapour as well.

I use VG regularly, (PG dries me out and makes my tongue sore), so tried V4L vg carts. They are pretty bad. I'm going to rinse the Camel and refill. But don't let this turn you against vg liquid. There are good flavors out there, just fill blank carts.

I feel the same way about the VG carts lack of flavor. I say give it time after V4L gets the feedback Im sure there will be some tweaking to get the flavor right. Its new and just getting out here. They are always improving.

Yes, I was just about to post something like this. I have VG that I use all the time to cut my PG liquids. It's completely flavorless. There may be something else in there that they used to thin the VG out since it's very thick.

I believe it was Steve (or one of the guys) who said in a previous post if you have been vaping PG for awhile, then try the VG, at first it tastes different because you are so used to the PG..he said give it some time and it will be much better.

I ordered 5 bottles of different cola favored vg juice and 5 blank cartomizers and I like them all! My favorite is Red Cow and Rootbeer. The Mountain Do doesn't taste at all like Mountain Dew to me...I haven't figured out what it tastes like, but it's still good. I have only vaped PG before now and I think I like VG better. I have to put in another order for my favorites now as I only bought the 5ml bottles just to test. And I have a battery that was sticking on which now has totally stuck on so I need a new one of those also.

I think I prefer VG to PG. Also, I love the clear juice bottles from V4L!!

Iv been noticing that my skin is very dry, is this the PGs doing? And how much is the Pg drying me out, is it dangerus? Havent had any other problems with pg carts just the dry skin.

I have read other threads in the Health section talking about PG drying people out. Dangerous? Dehydration could be dangerous, but that's in extreme cases I believe. I don't think the amount of PG we are vaping could cause severe dehydration unless we weren't drinking ANYTHING and that for several days - if I remember dehydration's progression correctly.

That's why I was trying VG - to see if it would help with my extreme dry skin - and the weird extreme acne problems I'm having.

UPDATE: I got so desparate (no job = less money to spend) that I plowed into the rest of the many boxes I had of the VG Capp. I have to say, the only ones that I noticed the weird flavor on were the ones from that box. Also, I noticed that my skin doesn't seem to be drying out as much - still drying out - since I used these. I think I'll keep trying VG, have to order again so will go with VG. Having to refill using my PG juice, but next order/tonight I will order VG ones. Just wanted to update in case anyone else read the thread.

Some of you write about PG drying you out. Me, too, a bit even when I drink extra water. If VG is less drying, I'm just wondering why that is. I believe that they're both humectants, attracting moisture, so wouldn't their drying properties be similar? I'd be glad to see updates from those who switched to VG.

I got 26 boxes of VG. Not too impressed. I plan on going to Wally World and getting some PG. Adding to juice shouldn't hurt it too much. Also thinking about injecting a little into the cartos.

Anyone ever tried this?

 

[Taryn]

I've done it the other way around, adding VG to my PG/VG combination cartos. Very little loss of taste if you don't add much.

Update. A lot of us have been ragging on the VG, including me after I tried the VG Kamel and Capaccino some weeks ago. I wanted to pop back to mention that I've since then tried some more VG flavs--Cowboy and Mint--and they're much better IMO. Big vapor, more pleasing favor, but still with a smaller TH kick than PG.

I still prefer PG and have some new Premium PG carts on the way, but my new VG flavs aren't bad at all. Anyone needing VG because of allergies shouldn't hesitate, but I'd suggest trying an assortment of VG flavs since they varied so much for me.

i got some 5ml pg liquid and add drops to vg carts works well to boost flavor . dont like wasting anything but thats just me
