Wow, that is really a subjective question. So far, I've found that it depends on the delivery system I am using. I am also very new to vaping, so you might hear differently from many others. From what I've read though, PG tends to be both more flavorful and delivers a more potent throat hit than VG. VG delivers more of that vaper cloud than PG. My favorite juice right now is a 50/50 delivered from an Atty (limited gear at the moment) I tend to use 70/30 in my single-punched carto tank. I'd like to get into something like on AGA-T+ and be able to run the 50/50 through that. Ultimately though, it boils down to user preference. There are folks that are PG sensitive and will only use 100%vg. There are also folks who simply prefer 100%vg over anything else. So really you'll have to determine what flavor and vg/pg combo you like most and that will be the best for you.

I prefer 65 vg / 35 pg

It might have to do with the fact that most of my juices are fruity or that Im using carto-tanks.
I find that higher pg juice makes my throat feel like I need to clear it....and I need to drink waaaaay more water when Ive vaped the higher pg juices.

What's the best mix ratio of PG/VG for vapor and taste?? 50/50??

You are not going to get a definitive answer on this one, since it comes down to personal preference, delivery system, the flavourings, and the atomiser.

I made a tobacco flavour at 30% VG and it was OK. Tried it at 40% VG and found it had a VG oily taste. Some here vape 50/50 and others vape 100% VG for various reasons.

I prefer high or full VG. I like the smoother flavor and love the vapor I get from VG.

I'm the oddball though, I don't care one bit about TH. :)

My husband prefers full or at least 50% PG, because he says he likes the "bite" that it gives the flavors.

The best thing to do is try a few mixes and see what works for you.

If you have a shop nearby you can probably stop by and sample different mixes to see what hits you right. :)

I mix most of my own juice (and order commercial juice) at 30/70 or 20/80. I prefer the HUGE plumes of vapor and light throat hit that low PG/high VG juices give.

I'm big on the plume, as well. I would take an average-tasting juice with a huge plume over a good-tasting juice with very little plume every day. Closer to the analog experience, I guess.
