I have an eGo-T and have been vaping for about two weeks now - I'm completely off tobacco after about 25 years (Woo hoooooo! Yay, me.). Love the Boba's Bounty and Gorilla juice. I'm wondering what the difference is between VG and PG and whether or not the PG would produce more vapor for a newbie like me. Tried the Seattle Super Sauce and it's so thick that it's hard to get a good drag even though I diluted it with a few drops of distilled water. Their Root Beer flavor is terrible (reminded me of the bad old days of smoking black if you kwim - but then again I wouldn't know anything about that...) and I definitely would not recommend it!

What flavors and blends do you guys use (I see that a lot of you DIY- I don't think I'm ready for that, yet) and where do you suggest getting them from? I'm not really into too much fruity stuff, and not missing tobacco flavor too much either. I'm thinking about maybe... blueberry cheesecake?... or something coffee flavored?... Hmmmm..

Welcome to the forum. I enjoy Pv and Ry4 from Parkes vaping in a 90pg/10vg ratio.

I've been thinking about ordering something like this. The stuff I have now is 100% VG, I believe. I like it, but want to try something new. ...I'm taking Welbutrin, so I think I can handle going 0% on the nicotine now as well. We'll see.

Welcome from yet another newbie!
EC blends has some good flavors, wonderful customer service & turn around times, and great prices - 5ml is 2.50, so you can try a huge variety & figure out what you like. If you use code 10020 you'll get another 20% off of your order - I'm waiting for my second order from them :)

Welcome to the forum. New to the forum myself and just started vaping early November 2011 after 30 years of smoking. Quit the analogs almost immediately and really love vaping. Just started refilling my own cartridges a month ago and trying a company that has varying PG/VG mixes and nicotine levels + a few hundred flavors to try. I find in trying these that I am surprisingly liking the sweeter ones. The ones I find not so sweet and not really tobacco are the different chocolate and coffee ones. Have tried a few of those and found a few I liked. I also like the sweeter ones like cherry swirl cheesecake & banana twinkle. So for now I am still experimenting with this to find a mix of 4 or 5 flavors I really enjoy to rotate. For now my mix is 50/50 VG/PG. Have found good vapor with this mix.

Welcome Jaimie! You just happened to start with some of the most complex juices out there, so...

If you want to try some dessert or coffees, maybe Copper Creek would be a good place to start. (House Blend comes to mind, or some of the sampler packs).

I do a 50/50 mix but use cartos and a tank, but did start out with an Ego-T. 100% VG didn't work at all for me with that setup, but that's just my opinion.

You know, after more than a year of vaping, I have never even payed attention to the pg/vg mix. I just get my juices from the vaporescence store in Fort Worth, and they are ready to go..so I never bothered to ask. They are great though in my ego, and silver bullet, providing good throat hit, flavor, and vapor production. Does anyone happen to know their mix? If not, I can just ask next time I head up there.

Welcome to the Forums, Im new to the ECF myself. I have been reading the ECF for several months but this will be my first post. Glad you like your Ego-T as for myself I started with a Ego-C. I recently purchased the provari and Iam loving the heck out of it. My juice experience includes, fruit sampler from cignot(great stuff), Halo variety sampler pack(also great) Johnson creek original sampler(meh), and I recently just got in 30ml of boba's and 10ml of gorilla juice. The bobas was my first 30ml purchase and I knew it was going to be a bad idea. Not that the juice is terrible but I can already tell its not my favorite, I will let it steep and see what happens, however the gorilla juice is ripper. If anyone wants to trade me some cool juices for my boba 30ml +/- 5 ml I would be happy to do so. OP, I recommend going and getting yourself some samplers, they are so much fun. Next up for me is ms. t's bakery juices, unless someone here wants to snag my bountys for some t's.

Welcome to ECF! VG will produce more vapor while PG will give you a stronger throat hit. I use vanilla cream from bluemistvaping and like mostly desert & fruit flavors

Just wanted to make a correction to this statement. PG is not the TH...nicotine content is. The higher the mg, the stronger the hit, but you still need to be careful not to make yourself sick.

I always purchase 80pg/20vg mixes or 70pg/30vg mixes. I like the higher PG because it enhances the flavoring.

Some good vendors...topshelfvapes.com, vaperite.com, altcig.com, and freedomsmokeusa.com (some of their stuff can only be purchased in 50/50 mix which is good also).

I think I'll try the 50/50 for now. Probably a coffee thing... but I was smoking cherry Prime Times before I vaped, so that cherry cheesecake is sounding rrrrrreallly good. Maybe that's good, maybe it's bad. lol! I'm gonna find out. hehe!
