All the tests that have been done over the years have been done using pg, that doesn't mean pg is safer than vg but we do not have the same kind of tests available for vg.

VG is sweeter but I'm not sure it makes make of a difference to the throat hit.

Just emailed Totally Wicked about their carts and what was in them and this was their reply "The PG gives a lots of vapour but not much thraot hit and the VG gives good throat hit but little vapour.
The three can also be mixed to produce your own required outcome. Once you have your liquid mixed you can then add a flavouring to it.
All of our pre-mixed liquids are PG based." This all contradicts everything i have heard. Do you all agree with this?

COM - I'm also curious as to know what the differences are between the 2 liquids. Anyone know if Dekang standard juices are PG or VG?

 

[Mildew]

Sounds .... about face COM76. From my experience: PG gives a bit better TH. VG produces more vapour.

"The PG gives a lots of vapour but not much thraot hit and the VG gives good throat hit but little vapour."

Thats what i heard to Mildew. I think they got it wrong which is a worry considering their huge company and all. Finally found a chemist that has PG in stock. I whent to one yesta and made an order they said it would be available today but wasnt so i drove around to a couple of others and found one that would sell it to me. The lady was all odd about it they took down my name and address she even googled e cigs to see if i was telling the truth. funny stuff.

Looking around the forums, I think Dekang's 'default' is PG. I have dekang fluid from heaven's gift, Eastmall and healthcabin, I only remember one of them having a special section for VG. The only VG I've tried so far is a 50/50 PG/VG mix, which is actually very nice. I think I probably have too much strength with the e-jucie (24mg), and the throat hit can be harsh. With the 50/50 it's more smoothing (and can't complain about the extra vapour)

 

[MrDismal]

If that's true.. then I've only tried PG so far... looking forward to trying some VG based juices.. Might have to look into getting some VG anyone wanna go halves in a huge bottles?

 

[dinium]

Define huge

 

[MrDismal]

I've heard you get get 500ml bottles? Correct me if I'm wrong..

 

[dinium]

I've ordered 250ml of 100mg flavourless from Levy at Xtreme. I'm planning on thinning this out at 1:2 and 1:3 with VG, so I need around 650ml myself.

This combo (with some flavours) = 12 months supply at less than half the cost of Dekang with a lot more control over mixes

 

[feebop]

Noticed FAULDINGs brand is most commonly available stand-alone "glycerine" product found mainly skin care aisle in Coles and Woolies.
Is this classified as PG or VG? (Sorry if this has been asked before)

 

[COM76]

Hey Dinium I also ordered of levy the other day for his 100mg. Cant wait for it to arrive. Did you get yours PG based or VG Let me know how long it takes to get yours. Mine was shipped on the 25th. Are you going to use Queens flavouring or Lorane flavourings. I only smoke about 11mg so ill cut mine down a hell of a lot. Great savings this way.

Feebop - As for as i have learnt that is classed as VG but it is a synthetic (not made from vegetables) mix which is considered the same. 80% of people will say its just as good but in the long run $6- from any health food store might be worth the invest. I have both and i cant tell the difference.

 

[COM76]

Yeah MrDismal all the chemists i have gone to will order in a 500ml bottle for around $35. You can however ask them to make a smaller bottle of it for you and they will work out the difference funny enough they have to take down your identity details. Well in my case anyway.

 

[chewbacca]

Can someone please tell me what these stand for. I had started vapin about 12 months ago but got back on the darts and have been out of the loop for some time....PG/VG ..what are you all on about???? And how is the customs situation these days?????????

Thanks....

 

[COM76]

Chewbacca - PG= Propylene Glycol, VG= Vegetable Glicerin. They are used to mix with your liquid nic. Google it. I have ordered lately from China, UK, America and had no problems. Generally they will not send it to you if they think they will have problems. Good to see you took the right track eventually.
