Hey guys, I why does PG have to be the carrier for flavors? Why cant they use VG as the carrier? I cant have more than around 20 PG but I prefer 100% VG but if you want flavor they say its hand and hand with PG...Why?
Why does flavor have to be carried by PG?

I wonder why you don't see more 100% VG liquids? Almost all liquids have at least 10 PG. But I guess the whole zero throat hit is a problem. I can't have much PG, bloats me out like crazy, but than I need some throat hit, so I have to mess with the mix of every juice I buy, I add VG to all of them. But than that kills some flavor.

Yea, I do know that a few companies do make it, I just wonder why it is rare. Most people I talk to prefer high VG but most companies don't really cater to that. I guess my gripe is I love Comic Fogs milk and honey but they are 50-50, I hate most flavors but finally found one I love but the PG is too high.
I don't think low volume is an issue. A lot of these vape shops are buying flavor buy the liter or gallon not a small amount like your typically diyer. I think the main reason is just just the cost/time to do it. Alcohol and PG have been the main carriers for flavoring for a very long time and a lot of their flavor recipes are based on that. Switching to VG I'm sure there would be a some things that have to be changed due to the thickness of VG.
Another thing is that a lot of places say 100% VG when it is in fact only 90% or something like that. They don't account for the flavoring added, which is a little misleading.

Yea. Well now that E Juice is a stable market and selling like crazy, I think more people should start distributing 100% VG flavoring. Its a huge market and worth the time and expense. If I knew enough I would do it.
