50/50 is the most common ratio you'll probably see. I like around 70% VG. PG just burns my throat..it doesn't do anything for my lungs. A lot of vendors I use right now don't specify ratios, as that is part of their recipie..and doesn't really matter. If you have a sensitivity or problem with one of the other, you can request a certain ratio.
VG for cloud production, and it's commonly used unflavored by itself.
PG throat hit and is thinner. I see throat hit and lung hit as two different things.

What suspectK said. Also, PG/VG "right" levels are subjective. Personally, I vape primarily 50/50 but also have a supply of 70/30 and enjoy both mixes. However, I especially like 20/80 or even higher VG mixes...if the flavor is good. Experiment and try a few mixes and see what you like. Whatever works for you is the best for you. Vape on.
It's personal preference. I like around a 60PG/40VG ratio. I'm not interested in clouds of vapor and prefer a bit of a throat hit especially since I mostly use between 5 and 12mg nicotine.
The ONLY ratio anyone should use for e-liquid is 68.231459 pg / 31.768541 vg to get the PERFECT combination of flavor and vapor
and if your vendor will not mix it EXACTLY like this you should find a new vendor
Naw, just joking, the percentage is purely subjective to individuals - if you have no allergy reactions then the
higher pg = more flavor saturation
higher vg = more vapor created (plus vg is "sweeter" tasting)

PG is said to carry the flavor better than VG. I'm with suspectK, PG is a little harsh on my throat if the PG is 70 or above. I use 50/50 because it's a good balance of vapor and flavor. I use cotton for wick material and the 50/50 wicks nice in it and it has less of a tendency to flood the coil
When I started to DIY, I messed around with various levels.
Funnily enough, I ended up settling on a 50/50 mix with 5% distilled water.
But everyone is different. However, if someone did not know where to begin, I would reccomed they start at 50/50 until they determine for themselves what they prefer.

I use anywhere from mostly 70PG/30VG to some 40PG/60VG. It all depends on my mood and the flavor im vaping. If it tastes good and isn't too hard on my coils or cartos, i don't really care most of the time.
The higher end e-juice makers tend to tailor their ratios to flavors, so I don't think there really is an ideal mix. I do prefer higher PG, because it vapes better, for me, though.
There's no best mix. You've already got the lowdown on what both impart to juice. I'm a bit sensitive to PG so I'm currently mixing about 80 - 90% VG. Otherwise I think I'd be at around 50/50.
If I had to choose only one ratio I'd pick 20% VG. Thin and easy to wick. Good vapor production.
