Okay. I just tried my first vg juice and I am not to happy with any of them. They just don't have the taste of PG. So my question is what are the pros and cons of VG vs PG. I have searched the site and this info really isn't in one place and its all very confusing. So can anyone sort this out and make a quick list. Maybe if we get a good one we can get it stickied for us newbs.

Since I'm a noob I haven't had so much liquid to test 
But I do have a Rath juice on VG based that produce more vapor than the PG based.

Hello all,
Vaping for 40 days now, but read and tried lots of different items.
From reading forums:
VG produces more vapor but very little flavor
PG made in USA has more flavor but less vapor, China PG has less flavor
Personally tried:
purchased same flavor 2 bottles, 1 PG and 1 VG, then took another empty bottle and poured in half of PG and half of VG. This way I got some flavor and vapor. I did not like that to much because not enough flavor for me but this mix satisfied my need to see vapor. Maybe a mix of 70% PG for more flavor and 30% VG for vapor will work better.
For now I will stick with PG.
Also VG creates more stress on the attys because it is a more thicker liquid, where PG is more like water and does not clog up the attys as much.
.
Hope this helps.

VG does have less of a throat hit but it has tons of vapor.
PG has a great throat hit and enough vapor.
I've been experimenting like many and purchased from Ms T's Bakery with 20%VG 80%PG with all of my favorite flavors plus a few samples and found this to be the pot of gold that I was looking for. Her juice has really strong flavors. So now, I get the best of the best with the flavor, more vapor and still a great throat hit. I'm a happy camper now.

Sounds like a good mix Skyler,
I'll give that a try next time I place an order for PG and VG.

I prefer P.G. but I add a couple of drops of glycerin to each bottle to improve vapor. Glycerin can be found in the hand care isle of most drug stores, supermarkets or Wal-mart. Please look for the USP on the label.
Glycerin is basicly the same as V.G.

I've only been gaping for a week and a half so here is my take. VG definitely has more vapor. PG has a better throat hit. Someone mentioned that VG causes more stress on the atomizer, this seems to make the pull harder. PG is an easier pull. I haven't noticed much difference in flavor yet. I like both. I may try mixing the two together one day. Or maybe adding some VG to the PG mix. Try both and see what you like, that's all I can say.
so the next question is does anyone know if chemically one is healthier then the other. VG??? since it vegetable based as opposed to polypropylene?
Everyone here seems to agree that VG produces more vapor and I would agree. I got VG from Gourmet Vapor and it's only 5% PG and it has a LOT more vapor but yea the flavors are very very subtle. I just ordered some more juice from a couple of diff vendors with a 20% vg to 80% pg ratio. I can't wait to try them and hope that this will end some of my search especially for vanilla. I have spent more money in the last two weeks then I ever did smoking or snusing so the wife isn't the happiest. I sold this to her as "oh honey think of the money I will save" concept.
