Stands for propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. Its the main base for eliquids in which the nicotine and flavoring is mixed. Juices bases are pg, vg, or a mixture of the two. It's purpose is mainly for like I said a base, and they make vapor when heated. They are both commonly used in many different applications for various reasons. Generally in eliquid pg provides more throat hit and is a great flavor carrier while vg produces less throat hit, much more vapor, and a slightly different taste. Both are slightly sweet but vg is sweeter. Vg also has a thicker consistancy so higher pg percentage is sometimes prefered for it's ability to wick easier in cartos.

jerms is 100% right,ultimately i like a 50/50 mix but i tend to use a 75%pg / 25%vg mix so it wicks better in my tanks.
to much vg and i get dry hits with most my mods unless im constantly tinkering with them.

PG is Porpolyen glycol (i know I didn't spell that right tho) and VG is vegetable glycerine.

50/50 is what I typically enjoy the best too, best of both worlds. I do enjoy the occasional 100% vg if they get throat hit added to it (see Bobas Bounty) for the PLUMES of vapor. Vg seems to provide a deeper lung feel (lung hit?) too that is satisfying in a way that's different than throat hit.

If you use 100% VG with a addy that wicks(like a clearo) then you will probably have to thin it down.
