vg/pg % Help...Thanks in advance!

[Jackinkc]

Can someone help me with the vg/pg %'s. What should I be looking for if I am looking for more of a throat hit?

Thanks in advance!

80%pg/20%vg...thats be my suggestion!-)

I like 80%pg/20%vg. Seems to be the best combination of flavor delivery TH and vapor for me. This is extremely subjective and almost like asking what is the best flavor juice. Best of luck and try a few small bottles 80/20 or 70/30

@jackinkc, personally I prefer a 60% VG & 40% PG. Great plums of vapor & ok TH.

I like 70/30 PG/VG for dripping and 80/20 PG/VG for cartomizers.

In addition to the PG/VG ratio you can change other things to get more throat hit. Higher nic level, higher wattage (higher voltage or lower resistance), adding alcohol (PGA or vodka), flavors that add sensation (cinnamon, clove, menthol, mint, etc.) If the PG/VG ratio doesn't help you, consider trying some of these.

To expand on your question more, I take it your looking for more throat hit. The general rule is PG for throat hit, VG for vapor production. So much of this stuff is trial and error, and you equipment has alot to do with it as well. My personal sweet spot so far is 50/50 juice, 24g nic, and a 3.7 box mod with a 306 low resistance atomizer.

What Icoth said! Especially the flavors.
Almost any PG menthol gives me a great TH, even when cut 60/40 with VG.(I like the VG for clouds of vapor).
As Obi-Wan might say, "Experiment, young Skywalker".

find someone who sells your fave juice in 100 pg and 100 vg... buy both. use an empty bottle to experimentally mix it how YOU want (aka 10 drops+10 drops is 50-50. 20 drops+10 drops is roughly 65-35. etc...) by the time u get thru about 10 mls, you will have your answer. its all personal preference.

i have found that it is VERY handy sometimes to have a bottle of each hanging around anyway. something you feel you can use as an additive flavor. mine is Vaperite chocolate.

when you get a juice that is too thick or too thin, you can add whichever you need to adjust it. i believe you could get flavorless for this as well, but im nuts for chocolate, so i'll use it in about anything.

OH! also. i get those with 0 nic... its nice to have 0 nic stuff for mellowing something that is too strong. it is also good for before (and while in) bed...

and get some menthol drops for a kick in the pants in the morning!

PG is usually listed first

100% PG will let through all of the TH but can be harsh - makes my tongue and throat sore
I never tried 90pg/10vg
80pg/20vg smooths it out a bit, adds more visible vapor
I usually vape 70/30

The flavor also has a lot to do with TH. Some tobacco flavors have more TH than others. Some fruit and desserty flavors have little TH, but flavors with spices, ginger, mint, rum, and other things like that often have extra TH.

And there is an additive for TH called Qhit - I think they have it at One StopDIYShop

You can also buy a (black ground) Pepper ejuice at FreedomSmokeUSA which can add TH

throat hit is small compared with cigarettes. maybe a higher percentage of nicotine.

I think equipment also contributes to TH, I get a much better hit when using my USB passthrough than when using either of the batteries that came with my kit or the mega ones I purchased later.

 

[mhankins]

I actually goofed up on my first order of juices and got 80%VG/20%PG and I like it. I get plenty of flavor and TH. I ordered 80%PG/20%VG just so I can make a comparison.

Anybody know if it's a good idea to use 100% VG in the new ego-T? I have a strange reaction to PG, so I'm only using 100% VG right now.
