Whats the best ratio for flavor for eliquid

[TheBerch]

Been vaping for a couple months, and my local shop makes her liquid with either 75/25 or 80/20 I forget which, but close enough to that for me to ask my question. I know vg is generally sweet in of itself, its also thicker, where pg gives more of a throat hit and vapor production, and can carry the flavor well as it is thinner.

I am looking to expand my horizons and order some liquid online ( probably from MT vapor to start ) and I was wondering what ratio should I get to achieve the best flavor. Until my Hana clone comes in, right now im using an MVP2 with a nautilus tank @ 1.6ohm coils (stock). Like I said vapor production isnt a necessity, though I do enjoy seeing the cloud come out lol, but im more for the flavor atm. Suggestions would be helpful. When I first started to vape, I started with tobacco flavorings, and have expanded from there. Basically im asking this, for me going to fruits like strawberry and the like, what would be a good ratio to start. Im on a limited budget, which is why when people say buy a couple at 50/50 it urks me. $10-20$ might not be alot of money to some, but it can be to me. So if someone could list a more practical ratio for a more sweet palette it would be appreciated.

You are probably gonna get as many different answers to this question as reviews to a particular juice. Everyone is so very different. I think the best thing for you to do is experiment with yourself. Try different ratios and find out what makes your taste buds dance. I have tried different ratios because I am into mixing my own but I always seem to go back to what I first started with which is a 50/50 mix (the best of both). Have fun with it. I know I do.

tbh, that's more of an opinion question. I personally like more VG then PG just because I like lots of vapor.
Like Rat2chat2 said, experiment with different ratios. If you like more of a throat hit, you want more PG. If you want more vapor, you want more VG. If you want the best of both worlds, go 50/50. Most people started at 50/50 and they adjust there ratio from there. I don't remember exact so don't go word for word on this, but I wanna say that PG holds more flavor then VG but VG has a sweeter taste then PG. But yeah, it really is an opinion question and a thing you just need to experiment with to find your answer.

[EDIT]

Just had to do this, I re-read your post one last time and saw you said that PG has more throat hit and vapor production. I must correct you on this, PG doesn't have as much vapor production as VG, but you were correct on the throat hit part.

It always depends on the liquid and person. Some like more VG and some react to it and go more PG. All personal pref I would say

I know you said it urks you when people say to get 50/50, but honestly that's where I started when I was doing my DIY juice, and I've experimented with 75/25, 25/75, 100/0, 0/100, and etc. But I find that 50/50 is the easiest to stick with, it's simple, it's the best of both worlds, your liquid isn't super runny, it's not super thick, it's honestly just about right.
The website where I order all of my DIY supplies is ecigexpress, and they have 30ml 50/50 PG/VG starting at $3, but you can get 120ml for a bit more if you want.

As e30birdy said, it is dependent on the individual. I prefer more VG. I use a 75/25 VG/PG unflavoured nic base (health cabin) and add my concentrates by the drop, along with a drop or two of vodka as VG is " thicker". Also, VG gives more vapour not PG. PG gives more of a throat hit. Trial & error. Good luck

I mix at 50-50 for almost all flavors. I would try that and 70-30 PG/VG. Find a flavor you really like and order it in both formulations. If you really want to know what satisfies you, that is really the only way to find out. Good luck, and welcome to ECF.

There are no standards for this. It all depends on you, your taste buds and your tolerance for PG and VG. Thickness doesn't matter, you can thin it as you wish.

You've been vaping the 75 or 80% PG and you know what it vapes like. You also know what each ingredient does to the vape. If you want a sweeter vape, flavor mix is way more important than PG/VG content. Also, the same juice in a clearo will taste significantly different than in a carto or a rebuildable.

If you want to change your vape experience, you'll have to experiment yourself. Don't think that if you change the mix from 75% PG to 60% you won't be able to vape it. It's not that drastic a change.

Good luck with it

I've expirmented with every ratio imaginable while making my juice and I'm sorry if this bothers you but I honestly perfer 50/50. Remember this is a personal choice and for me personally, anything higher in pg is too harsh and anything higher in that is too soft like vaping nothing or steam.but this is very subjective and I recommend you yourself mix up several different mixes to see what you perfer! Sorry but I do perfer the 50/50*

Why would a suggestion to start at 50/50 irks you? It's where a lot of people enjoy their Vape. I love 50/50 because it has an equal balance of both throat hit, flavor, vapor, and its not too thick or thin...perfect consistency. So when you say it irks you I don't understand why.

It's hard to be helpful here.
For sure, PG is a better flavor carrier than VG. But the tolerance for PG is very variable among vapers!
So a honest advice is difficult.

Since you're on a budget, one idea would be to meet a friend who's in DIY and ask for juices of a common recipe with various ratios.
This way you could make your mind on what is the best for you.

 

[JacobAyden]

As everyone else has already said, it's all about personal preference. VG is thicker, sweeter, and produces more vapor. PG is thinner, carries flavor better, and produces more throat hit. People also tend to be more sensitive to PG. I, personally, prefer around 30/70 because PG irritates my throat too much. I would honestly suggest trying 50/50, as it's a good balance and that's what most people go for. However, if you like the ratio you're using now, why bother changing it?

 

[gtalpaz]

I'll echo what everyone else is saying and that this question will vary based on who you are asking. I actually prefer different ratios for different systems. For RBAs/tank systems, I go with 50/50, which works well for me and is a nice balance. On a dripper, I go more VG heavy, usually 70/30. Not into the 100% VG juices but I know a ton of people who are. You also may find that you like different juices in different ratios. For me at least, I prefer custardy flavors more VG heavy than other types of juice.

 

[allan021577]

It's all personal preference my self I like 40/60 pg/vg just play around with different ratios and find what works best for you.

 

[e30Birdy]

One of the liquid shops I order at before is started mixing has 60/30/10 pg/VG/water and it was very OK.. I got base now and gonna play around with some 50/50 and see how it works for me. Only thing I noticed is the higher the VG the more aroma you need as pg develops taste better

I know your question was about vg/pg ratios but, the bottom line in your search seems to be not wasting tons of money finding a good vape experience. IMHO, that has so much more to do with the juice itself than the ratio. I have juices in just about every ratio and my absolute favorites and ADVs are across the board. I have a few that are 50/50, many that are 100% vg. some are 65/35, many are proprietary blends that don't say at all. What matters is that you find a quality juice that hits for you flavor-wise. You already know what the properties of vg and pg are and what they bring to the table. If you are concerned about getting something that has great flavor, do some reading up on vendors who offer the flavors you want and look for the best. I spent tons of money on juices I just didn't like before I found the vendors I know I can trust to give me a great vape. Good luck in your search.

i started with 50/50 blends and now im moving towards 70vg 30pg. i def prefer more vapor over throat hit. i think too much pg gives me a lung hack, but not sure yet haha

What benefit do u get from vodka. Iv added 2 or 3 drops of water to a flavor that was to high in nicotine and was harsh on the throat. But that didn't help and made it extremely thin :'(

I personally like 50/50, the B&M I frequent uses 70/30 and I don't like the coating on my mouth it gives me. When I vape the 70/30 it leaves a film on my mouth and while the flavor and vapor is great I just can't stand the film... I prefer DIY @ 50/50

my personal taste is 70/30 vg/pg(not a huge fan of the throat hit), but as it has been said before, its all about personal preference... Experiment with different mixes and find whats best for you
