What nicotine strength do you use and what PG/VG ratio?

[NicksCloud]

I am curious to learn how others prefer there juices. When I started vaping I was using 24mg nicotine with an 80pg/20vg ratio. After a month I switched to a 50/50 ratio and a month after that I dropped down to 24mg.

My ideal juices right now are 18mg with either 100% VG or 20PG/80VG ratio. Using a VV/VW and airflow controls still allow me to get a throat hit without too much PG which is Perfecto mundo for my needs!

What about you guys?

Edit - we already have 2 pages of replies and I thought I would add this question: How much did you smoke a day prior to vaping? I was 1 1/2 packs of Marlboro Red 100's a day. And from what I'm reading so far from your answers, congratulations to all of you!

12mg headed to 6mg. Started making all my new orders 6mg because sometimes the nic comes on too fast at 12mg. 90% - 100% VG because PG tears up my throat something fierce.

I'm still at a 24mg and 50PG/50VG ratio (local B&M I use isn't sure..lol). Will drop down nic content eventually, but really itching to try a higher VG ratio, but finances aren't permitting that right now.

6 to 12mg and 50/50 for the most part

vaping for almost 11 months, i started at 24mg, went down to 18mg after my first month of vaping, a few weeks ago i stepped down to 12mg. but since i still have a bit of 18mg left i do 18mg when i'm at work, and 12mg at home.

oh and pg/vg ratio is 60/40

6mg 70/30 started with 12 but with RBA's I dropped to 6.

I started vaping in 2009 and most juices were 100% PG. The PG simply tore me up, dried out my lips, made my throat hurt, raspy voice. But it was better than smoking. Totally Wicked opened a B&M near me and then I had access to more stuff. I started vaping 36mg on a e-go device, joyetech stuff. Shortly, I went down to 24mg and then 18mg, and stayed there for 2 years. Even though I was and still am sensitive to PG, I vape it as I don't mix anymore. It's too time consuming and there are great companies making juice now. Rebuilding coils takes up enough time

I prefer juices high in VG, but can do 50/50. I vape 6mg only, and the reason is hardware. When I was using Reos exclusively (still much love), and using 510 and 901 attys, 18mg was perfect. As soon as I got into rebuildables, 18mg was WAY too much. Now, using a RTA like the Kayfun, 6mg is the max for me. When dripping, especially on a high wattage setup, 3mg is max. The amount of vapor produced makes the delivery of nicotine more to your system, and less nicotine is needed. The flavor from a good rebuildable atty also blows the old school 510 and 901s out of the water IMO.

I would prefer 100% VG juice, but if you do the research, you will find most flavorings are PG based, so it's hard to avoid entirely. I found out over time that I am sensitive to flavorings also, such as cinnamon and anise. YMMV. I just embraced the fact that PG was part of the deal, and some of my fav juices are 50/50, I just have to use them in moderation. In a perfect world, for me, it would be 10 pg/90 vg, 6mg, and killer flavor - frankly, that's like finding a unicorn

I started with 24mg and an 80/20 PG/VG ratio. Then I dropped down to 18mg, same ratio. Now I prefer 18mg (sometimes 12mg at night) with a 50/50 PG/VG ratio.

 

[Lombaowski]

12mg

Some of the fruit flavors I'll go 80/20 PG and almost all the tobaccos are 50/50.

 

[Ripshod]

Started @ 12 mg. 6 weeks in and I'm at 8.1mg. 40/60 PG/VG.

Before I started @ 12 I was smoking 40+ per day.

 

[Nermal]

Started with 36mg/ml. High vg didn't work for me, so the base is 70% pg. I continue with this to this day, except for a WTA that is only 24Mg/ml. I can't say I notice the difference.

 

[Lurch]

Started at 12mg nicotine; cutting down, my last batch I made was 9 mg. I generally prefer higher VG, but sometimes a will make a batch with a higher PG content. Generally I try to start around 25PG/75VG, some at 50/50.

 

[Kor 214I]

Started with 24mg,making the transition to 18mg this week,all 50/50.

 

[Jamfreek]

I smoked Marlboro lights anywhere from 1/2 a pack - 1 pack a day. I go back and forth with my nic level. I drip at 0, and most of my clearomisers are filled with 6mgs, but I have 2 juices right now that I like right at 12mg (Five Pawns - Castle Long, and Nicoticket - Virus)

With my first setup (Vision Spinner with a Kanger EVOD) I was using 70pg/30vg and 60pg/40vg at 18mg. Now that I'm using a Mini Kanger Protank 2 and an iTaste MVP 2.0 18mg is way too strong so I've gone down to 12mg..I'm still using 70pg/30vg liquid. I tried a 40pg/60vg liquid...tasted weird and it felt like it left a coating in my mouth and throat.

12 mgs. nic...70pg/30 vg, but that was pre-made - when I have a choice I like 50/50. Headed to 6 mgs. nic soon. I smoked 1/2 pack daily for 20 years, then between half and whole pack daily for last 10 years (full flavor menthol...Salem, Bristol, L&M, etc.). Been smoke-free since Feb. 2014!

 

[WillyZee]

12 to 18mg and 50/50 PG/VG

 

[Heabob]

About 1 PAD,

Started 3 months ago at 80/20VG 18mg.

Down to 0mg now, run 50/50 mostly for sweets/fruits, and 80/20VG for tobacco's.

 

[Sgt.Rock]

25/75 unflavored and 30/70 Menthol for me. Both at 18 mg currently. Started with 50/50 @18 and started DIYing playing with ratios and nic levels. These seem to be the best for me.

 

[jwag1973]

I'm currently using 12mg in a few different pg/vg ratios. I use 70pg/30vg, 50/50, 100% vg.
