Why do we use PG?

[erinspeed]

I'm sitting here enjoying glorious plumes of 100% VG AV flue cured tobacco juice on a standard ego. Satisfying, tasteful clouds of sumptuous flavor. Nice throat hit at 24mg nicotine. All this decadent pleasure out of a boge carto (2.0 ohms) double punched in a tank cut down to fit standard length cartos.

My point is, what purpose does PG serve? Is it a better flavor carrier or nicotine carrier? I'm just wondering.

I have read it carries flavour better,no proof as I havent tried without yet.

+1 for lazydog, That's all I hear too.

Not everyone can handle 100% VG. I know I can't.

PG also doesn't mute throat hit and it is thinner so that it doesn't clog up cartomizers. I prefer 70pg/30vg.

Plus one...

+2 for 30% vg. 100% pg isn't as nice for sure.

PG is your coffee and VG is your cream. Both have their merits, though you probably wouldn't want to drink either by themselves. When combined in the right proportions, you get something that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Here is a link from the ECF Library that explains PG, VG, etc.:

Remember that PG is the closest thing man made to the tears of baby Jesus. Pure..

i mostly vape 100% PG,the flavor is incredible !! but the vape cloud is not as big as if i had 20% VG in it

Good juice can be made with any PG/VG combination, or either by itself. AVE is proof that outstanding flavors as popular as Boba's can appeal to many people, even if they're not concerned with PG allergies. Vapor Station now has the very popular Tampa flavor in 100% VG, and it's just as brilliant as the PG version, so it can be done...

Because VG makes some people VERY sick.

Hubby had to take a day off work (moaning and SWEARS he was dying (like when he has a cold ) after spending an evening with an unlabeled new trial kit a couple weeks ago. Yup. VG. Why didn't they just say that?

It doesn't make me sick. I just don't like the oily feel or taste it leaves in my mouth. I like PG.

That's why they make PG and VG. Some like one, some like the other. Some like a combination.

It seems for me when I vape liquids that are higher in PG, my chest tends to feel a little weird. Anybody else get that? I don't seem to have any issues with 100% VG juice.

I have settled pretty good in to a 50/50 mix. Good enough plumes I think, and it gives me just enough raw with the smooth to even everything I want out. But I agree with an above post, I really do not find anything enjoyable about 100% PG. Got to have some VG in there for sure!

I've started DIY now, and I had no idea I could make as good of or better juice than some of the juice vendors out there. Much cheaper too. Anyhow, the 100% VG does leave an oily taste. I go with 50/50 most of the time but sometimes 60/40.

If I could only use VG I would be back to analogs. I need my TH to much. I do like 30% VG for some nice clouds tho.
