I only recommend VG to start because I read that some people are allergic to it. That is all. I wouldnt want to start this and find out that I cant use it because I am allergic. A lot of people prefer it. That is why I think people should try both if they can.
alright folks to answer a few of your questions -- 100% vg can be very thick -- there are some vendors that thin theirs and you may need to ask for extra flavor as vg does not handle flavor well -- a lot of juice delivery systems and batteries do not handle it well
check out the general e-juice forum to search for juices you may be interested in -- lots of good info and good juice providers listed there
yes have backups of your backups of your backups for everything not just batteries -- juice, adapters, chargers etc (yes the cat did eat through one of my charging cords
)
steeping is required for most juices the most common practice is to take the cap and drip nib off for a night or two to let any alcohol used in making the juice to evaporate then put cap and nib back on and a week or two in a nice dark place -- at this point i do it for all needed or not
note some juices can take longer than 2 weeks so never give up on a juice and yes you can keep juices for a year or more though not recommended usually by 2 months time if a juice is not good by then well it probably is just not good
please remember taste is subjective for example i have a friend who swears he tastes chocolate in a vanilla tobacco juice that tastes vanilla to me -- go figure
edit please remember to shake shake shake that juice often while steeping

you are quite welcome oh and one last thing if you think you already drink enough water or whatever you are wrong -- when you start vaping you must increase your liquid intake or you will get dehydrated whether you use pg or vg or pg/vg
great tips! I have been vaping since Jan 2012 and I have one thing to add....Vape meets!! Look in your area for a local Vape meet to make friends, try different juices and check out other peoples set ups! We have a few local vendors that come to ours here in Phoenix and its awesome! Its been a huge help to me and has been a fantastic resource!
I don't have much luck with tanks. I like variety TOO MUCH! I use my Tube Tank for a week and back to dripping. I have like, 30 bottles of juice, different strengths of nic, different flavors. I have an eRoll for out the door. The tanks are tiny, so I can quick rinse and refill with different juices.
Look up the word "hyperbole" and apply that to section of my post on steeping.
I can add another tip that I have learned in just the first few days of vaping. Along with having spares of spares get a case or something to keep everything in. I have a couple setups and a couple bottles of juice that I carry with me at all times. However, just last night I left my juice bottles at the office so when I ran out at home I had to go to an analog to finish my night. I have a case ordered and should have it in the mail today. It will make it much easier to keep up with everything. Especially if you're forgetful like I am.
Couldn't agree more, got to have back ups. I tried a couple of cases for ecigs but find they're too bulky so I'm using a Lowepro compact camera case I picked up from walmart which will hold 2 650 mAh batts, a clearo or 3.5 mL tank, a couple of cartos or attys and a 10 mL bottle of juice. I usually use a 1000 mAh twist but if something happens to it I've got the 650s.
A lot of good info...wish I'd read it before I started, but I had a similar experience! Live and learn, I suppose. Two weeks today!
Thanks for sharing. I'm still learning, one thing also making sure you always have a back-up batteries. I have one kit in my bag, one in my office, one in the car, on my kitchen, 4 extra 18650 batt. and 5 chargers. My experienced was horrible when I ordered my first kit before c'mas didn't know the battery only last certain times or how many counts of vape and I run out prefilled atomizers and no juice on hand. Then I ordered while waiting have to smoke analog here and there. Lesson I've learned is to stock up on everything.
Very good information posted here. When I first started vaping I got ripped off by a local totally wicked vendor while I was traveling in the uk. It did get me off the cigs so I thank then for that.mbut it did end up paying around $110 for 2 ego batteries and a cheap 2.5ml smoktec tank. Sheesh...
