VG/PG percentages?

[Dunkel]

I had no clue what was what when I made my first order of juice. I thought VG was good stuff and PG was the chemical stuff. I see most folks saying they order a higher percentage of PG than VG. I ordered all my juices at 80% VG 20% PG. Am I going to be disappointed. I ordered 70 ml! LOL

All my juices are VG, and they're fine. From what I've read VG isn't necessarily vegetable-based, but could be synthetic. Also, PG juices apparently have more flavor and throat hit which some people prefer. VG works fine for me though.

i've just started and i've decided to have my nic with PG but my flavours mixed with VG i see a lot of people going 50/50 with PG VG and some people who are exclusive to both PG or VG, so i'm guessing that pretty much any combo will be fine.

i'm looking forward to the added plumes of vapour that VG is supposed to give.

It's all a matter of tatse... I preferr higher % of VG myself. Like the clouds of vapor it produces.

Even if you are disapointed when your juice arrives, it is not a waste. You can allways order more juice in the same flavor / mg with more PG and blend the two together.

Hey Guys,

I have been smoking the 100% VG, but was recently told that it is an extreme form of surgar and in saying that, it was was said-not sure how that can affect the lungs once the atomizer burns the sugar..........Any adviceo n this? I just ordered 60/40 PG/VG. I have not smoked PG in awhile because it makes my throat hurt and gives me a feeling of having a cold. With that said, they say that a 60 PG and 40 VG mix, there should be no ill effects? WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

I'd be very interested to know who was it that told you about this, and the source of his/her information. May be wrong, but I suspect hearsay.

Also, the atomizer (if you don't run it dry) doesn't burn the liquids...it vaporizes it into microscopic droplets. While vg is sweet, it has a very low glycemic index, and is not related to sugar in any way, structurally or metabolically.

As a sugar substitute, it has approximately 27 calories per teaspoon and is 60 percent as sweet as sucrose. Although it has about the same food energy as table sugar, it does not raise blood sugar levels, nor does it feed the bacteria that form plaques and cause dental cavities. Wikipedia

Glycerin has been used by humans for generations since the mid 19th century. I vape all vg juices and pure unflavored USP vg straight, and will continue to do so until advised otherwise.

So relax, even burnt sugar gotta be better than burnt tobacco! lol

There is a carcinogen that Glycerin turns into at VERY HIGH temps. I am sure this is what someone told him, I think it is in the FDA report. BUT, it requires something like 45degrees Kelvin, yes I just used Kelvin temp measure, and ATTYs only get to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, so you are about 600degrees short of what it takes for it to be bad for you.

The thing it burns into has been shown to increase the chances of cancer in lab rats when incinerated at higher that normally humanly possible temperatures.

you do know that sacarin, in diet soda causes cancer too right?

This was a hot topic a cpl of weeks ago on th forum, but I can't find the thread. We had a chemistry person talking about the fact that it WAS NOT POSSIBLE to get this reaction from ANY type of battery, or even a straight short, as you would need like however many thousands of volts of electricity to produce the amount of reaction necessary to create this carcinogen.

45 kelvin? that must be wrong
45 kelvin into Farenheit - Google Search
45 kelvin = -378.67 degrees Fahrenheit
