What VG/PG ratio would you recommend to me?

[Wow1420]

I like fruit flavors and I'm looking to maximize flavor and performance in Vivi Nova or Kanger T3 or Evod style type tanks. I don't care about the amount of vapor nor do I care about throat hit. All I want is something that wicks right and carries flavor well.

What VG/PG ratio do you recommend for me?

i use 70/30 ish pg/vg and works well no matter what i use.

80pg/20vg ... PG carries flavor better but you gain throat hit and lose some vapor, PG is a thinner liquid as well

Or anything up to and including the below example.

It just really depends on what you want more of cause you are going to have to decide, I also have 65%PG/35%VG ... but its seems like the below example offers a more rounded experience, without the extreme's

I am using 50%PG/50%VG in my Vivi's right now that seems to work well without the extremes ... good flavor, good vapor, medium throat hit, works great in my Vivi's .. mine is from Mt Baker Vapor

50/50 would seem to be a good starting point and if your looking for a change in one area just look at the pros/cons of pg and vg and adjust from there. just understand what they do, see how the mix your using performs and adjust to preference. Fully customizable. for what its worth

I agree with Thrasher, 70/30 is a good ratio to start off with and tweak from.

Do these percentages relate to the dilutent only or the whole mix? Does it depend on the base used in the Nic/flavour, I use pg based Nic and flavour, I made a mix with 100% ag yesterday and its a beauty

I only use PG in my liquids.

for me 80/20 is the best flavor to vapor ratio but that changes from person to person. If flavor is top priority then you want a high PG. I think you would like my ratio

straight PG gives me cottonmouth

Yes, a higher percentage PG juice will provide more throat hit (TH). It also provides more crackle and pop in cartos. I often see the idea that VG mutes flavors. That is not really true. Skilled flavor mixers simply use more flavoring for higher VG juices.

We are seeing a trend toward higher concentration PG juices during the last year or so. That is because the newer generation of clearos and wicked atomizers can't handle high concentration VG juices as well as cartos or dripping atomizers. Some of latest clearos equipped with multiple stranded wicks can be adjusted to handle high VG juice better than most but the jury is still out on this.

Note that if you use VG-heavy juices with a stainless steel mesh of 325 or 400 you *may* experience wicking issues. I recommend personally 70/30 PG/VG or 80/20 PG/VG.
