VG or PG?

I just tried my first batch of VG juice from https://www.cignot.com/
They sell among others, a special brand called "Basic" which is made here in the US.
The quality is very good and I found that VG is much smoother than PG.
It also produces nice vapor.
If you find PG a little too harsh give VG a go, I think you'll like it.

I only use VG, it's just smooooooooth with tons of vapor. My favorite is Johnson Creek Smoke Juice (Red Oak line), then Ecopure (also at Cignot), also there are various vendors that sell Rath juice, it's good, too.
I have been leaning more and more toward Throat Hit, so I have been going PG.
The more VG the less TH. Just a bit of extra VG, the vapor is killer, yet I kept missing the TH.
It is a definite trade-off. Your call... You can get some TH from VG mixes, but you have to crank the nic. This makes me dizzy chasing the TH with VG (and too much nic).

Man VG is just amazing compared to PG. The flavors seem to shine a lot more and using VG on my 510 which already produces a lot of vapor is intense. I lose sight of my surroundings. So much vapor and like many have already said it is a lot smoother on your throat and lungs. And I don't seem to get dry mouth from VG like I do PG. but it is pretty thick like syrup compared to PG.
switched to VG for some time now (Ecopure rich 20mg and 25mg sometimes). True about the TH at first but after 2 weeks of VG, the TH is pretty good actually and my old PG's 18mg TH is just too strong for me now. PG is also too harsh now compared with my first days of vaping when 18mg seemed too low.
Right now I have a ton of PG juice, some in 24mg and some in 36mg. Is there a way to "mix" it with VG on my own? I didn't know if I'd like the VG so I was hoping there was a way to do that so I could use up what I have now.
Oops! One more question! I've heard that VG is more apt to clog up your atomizers....is that true?
I sometimes like to use a PG VG mix, 50/50. VG by itself is quite thick unless you cut it a bit with distilled water.
I like the VG for the thicker vapor and the slightly sweeter taste that it has.

Thanks for the quick answers. I'll have to look into getting some VG and mixing it.
I think this sums it up for me.
I can only speak for the Cheery, haven't tried any of the other flavors. But if you Like Cheery, check out this juice...

Great taste and makes tons of fog.
I find that the VG produces a LOT of vapor, but the flavor seems to take a hit. So does the TH. IMHO, 80% PG and 20% VG is a good mix.
I have been using only VG for over a year and haven't had issue with attys. I had a 510 atty that lasted 8 months!
I have found that there are a couple vendors out there that sell a thick VG juice that was a problem for me, and I tried DIY and I really stink at it. Those things can cause atty problems. But a good VG juice is not a problem for attys IMHO.
I've heard of trouble with Johnson Creek, but it is my main juice and no problem.
The only juice that seems to clog up my atty seems to be coffee flavors, doesn't really matter if it is VG or PG.
This is an excerpt from the thread linked in my signature below...
PG versus VG juices
PG is propylene glycol and VG is vegetable glycerin.
Either of these ingredients can be purchased relatively cheaply and easily by themselves.
They can be used for making your own liquid if desired. or for cutting juice you have purchased.
As far as differences go, this is what I have gathered from reading things here and there.
1) VG is thicker (more viscous)
2) VG vaporizes at a lower temperature
3) VG produces better vapor
4) VG is somewhat sweeter
Because of the above...
1) VG does not wick quite as well
2) VG may gunk up your atomizer more quickly
3) VG produces a somewhat cooler vapor which may reduce throat hit

I usually clean my attys once a week, so for me, VG is not a problem...Really like the higher vapor levels and softer TH....It works for me....Enjoy.
