I vape only 100% VG (I am allergic to PG) which I get from two suppliers: Vaporite.com and Velvet Vapors.

Vaporite has VG with all natural flavoring (no artificial/chemicals) and they also have some 100% organic in good flavors. Their coffee and chocolate flavors are excellent - Banana nut and Chocolate Raspberry are yummy.

Velvet Vapors VG liquids are smoother with a slightly harder draw. Raspberry Cheesecake is one of my favorites, and Mango is delicious.

I settled in on those two suppliers because some VG tends to clog up the cartomizers, but the VG liquids from these two don't seem to have that problem.

Hi Aarik.

I vape all vg almost exclusively about 2-3ml per day. You're right, Cignot's Basic and ECOpure lines are excellent but the selection is limited. Right now I'm getting most of my vg juice from DIY FlavorShack. She is putting together a line of vg based juices. In addition, I vape pure USP vg from the drugstore w/ a drop of vg based menthol per ml and I get a nice clean, 0 nic vape which I find very relaxing.

vg clogging atties, imo is a MYTH. I've never had a clogged atty, and I haven't seen any all vg user say this (I see the opposite)...this "advice" is usually from people who don't vape all vg (who probably heard it somewhere)...and it gets perpetuated. Please, if I'm wrong, someone correct me on this, but that's been my experience and observation.

I believe what clogs atties are the ingredients in juices (extracts, dyes, sweeteners, etc.), and not so much the base, whether its vg, pg, or pg/vg. On the rare occasion that I feel like cleaning my atties (seldom), vg seems to rinse out well with hot tap water, and I never dry them.

Just my 2 nickels Aarik and I hope it helps.

...Can you give me some more info on where / what VG to get and about the VG based menthol? You get both at the drugstore? In what section?

Hi Aarik.

You can find vg at any drugstore (CVS for sure) or Walmart, usually by the pharmacy or skin care products. It will usually say Glycerin USP... make certain that it says USP!

It not necessary, but if you want vegetable source glycerin, check your health food/supplement stores. I bought 100% vegetable food grade USP glycerin at a local health food store I sometimes shop.

I made my own menthol drops using menthol crystals (crushed to powder) dissolved in warm 100 proof vodka (Everclear and pga is illegal in Hawaii), and diluted with an equal volume of vg. I wanted my drops to be slightly on the weaker side because its so easy to put a little too much, and your juice will vape like cough drops. 1 drop/ml is just right for this mix.

If you don't want to wing it like me, here's a recipe http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...l-drops-recipe-menthol-lovers.html#post330613

Many juice suppliers sell menthol crystals. DIY FlavorShack sells 1/4 oz bags (that's ample) for $1.50.

Hope that helps!
