Hey guys just curious on what is the best combination of VG/PG in liquids. I am about to order some liquids from Vapor Bomb and i want some good flavor and a GREAT throat hit. I smoked Menthol cigarettes for along time so my throat craves that strong throat hit. I like vapor but vapor isnt a Key thing for me i just look for flavor and Throat hit. So what would you suggest me getting for the VG/PG mix and also what lvl nicotine? I want to keep it as low as possible though maybe 18 at the max or something. Thanks everyone that takes there time to help me out with my question :D

I do smoke some analogs still but mostly vape. I have ordered from vaporbomb numerous times and Jerry and Harry are fantastic. I have only ordered 24mg 80PG/20VG from them. The higher the nic the better the TH. I feel the ratio of 80/20 is best for vapor production and for taste. I tried their Camtel Menthol and was disgusted. Too "woody", although by suggestion from Jerry I tried the Virginia Menthol and it is my current go to vape. Nothing will duplicate the taste of a analog (real cig) but I find the Virginia Menthol to be pleasing. I only smoke a real cig when the vaping doesn't cut it but will be quitting smoking real soon and vaping all the time.

By the way, 80PG/20VG seems to be the most common ratio and it has worked for me so I say just try it and see what you like. You should be pleased. Good luck!

So more PG gives you more throat hit? What does VG give you more of then? I am also looking into some mixed stuff and not sure which to order. sometimes i like alot of vapor then when at work want the strong and satisfying TH.

What mg nic is most responsible for TH...the more pg in a mix the more of that throat hit you will notice. VG dulls the throat hit down, tends to make the juice more sweeter, and is what's responsible for vapor production. The more VG the more vapor you will have. For me the 24mg provides the throat hit I need, maybe a little too much for me hehe, the 80%pg allows the flavor to come through, and the 20%vg gives me the vapor production. I, as long as many others, feel this is the best ratio all around.

Pg percentage is the main factor in th, then flavor of the juice. Nic level plays a small role. I like soft th but tons of vapor, so I vape all vg juices.

When I first started I tried 18mg and 12mg and could not handle the th. Switched to vg juices from Cignot all at 25mg... most had a very gentle th, and some had no (as in zero) th. So nic level plays a very small role in the overall mix.

I respectfully disagree. It is to my understanding, and many others that nic level is the main factor in TH. Pg works in parallel to preserve TH and flavor in the juice. VG, although increases vapor production, will decrease TH and taste of juice. A simple experiment would be to vape pure pg juice with no nic (0). Although you would taste the juice in it's most purest flavor, there would be no TH. TV doublers are an excellent example. I have sampled a few doublers with 90-100 percent pg and there is no throat hit because there is no nic in them. So to reiterate, TH is directly contributed to nic content/strength given pg values remain high.
