Want to start vaping

I know the basics .. but what is vg? Also what is ohm and how does wattage and voltage affect everything?

 

[Vaslovik]

Well VG is vegetable glycerin. That's one of the basics. Another basic is PG = Propylene glycol. Ohms is a measure of electrical resistance in your coil, and voltage is the amount of power going to your atomizer, from your battery and this can vary depending on whether your battery is variable voltage such as a spinner.

VG gives you fully vapor, whereas PG carries the flavor. people adjust their ratio based on preference

I wish these questions were asked when I started. I had to research everything. I'm so grateful for this site I swear! #VAPEON

Is it better to have more resistance or less resistance? What does a higher voltage do?

 

[MelvinTheDude]

Higher voltage makes your coils hotter. Too hot and you will burn your liquid or your coils. Too cold and you get no vapor. Your coil has resistance (ohms). The more resistance, the more volts you need to warm it up. Less resistance, less voltage.

I hope I got that all right.

So what would be the best ohm and voltage? Also what about wattage does more watts heat the coil up faster

Which gives you a better throat hit? Higher vg or pg?

when you are getting started most prefer something that closely mimics a cigarette

warm, throat hit,

depending on the device it can get confusing volts watts

so for my wife I used kiss keep it simple stupid

1.6 ohms at 3.7 volts is around 8.5 watts

that is her settings for all day

Vegetable Glycerin gives you the glorious vapor from the exhale. It provides a satisfying "lung-feel"

If/when you decide to mix your own, you can buy perfectly good glycerin from Walmart or CVS or tons of places, in "anhydrous" form. Anhydrous means it has no water in it. To use in a vaporizer, you need to dilute it with distilled water by 10% to make "Aqueous Glycerin". AG.

My local vape shop's house juiice is 60/40 AG/PG.

PG is propylene glycol. PG carries over more of the taste and "throat hit" of your juice, especially with regard to nicotine content and flavor additives.

Some people like an 80/20 PG/VG split on a 36mg nicotine juice. That is basically the highest throat hit most people want or can stand. It can be harsh.

I went there in the early going, because I had been a two-pack a day smoker.

It's too harsh for me now. I prefer down into the 50/50 PG/AG and 18mg nicotine juice ranges.

Nobody can tell you what is best for you. It's purely subjective.
