PV/VG Confusion

[BugMeat]

Can someone tell me what the benefits are with higher VG ratio? I just opened a new bottle of House Blend from Copper Creek that I bought at 60/40 PG/VG. It's good....very very good in fact (similar to the eyes spinning feeling I get with Custard's Last Stand mmmmmm good) but House also comes in 40/60, 20/80, and 0 PG.

What would I likely experience at higher VG %'s? More vapor, more flavor, more TH?

Some people are sensitive to PG and require lower-to-zero amounts, others prefer the higher amount of vapor that VG gives, while others prefer the additional throat hit that PG gives. There are no "real" rules ... just find what combination you like and enjoy it.

normally with a high vg juice you would get more vapor. not to say that vapor or throat hit arent there. but pg is usually the better juice for those two. bobas bounty is 100% vg and very thick. but it still has some throat hit and the flavor is amazing, as well as vapor.

I want the best of both worlds so I go with 50/50.

I'd rather leave the ratio up to the juice makers. After trial and error, testing and customer feedback, I trust their choice in PG/VG ratio.

I always vape house at 60/40 the same as you... the PG generally carries the flavor better. I don't vape to show off so I want flavor more than clouds. The VG is what makes those. The PG will also give you more throat hit. FV, the one who makes House also vapes it at 60/40. PG is also thinner than VG so that can make a difference with what atty you are using.

Thanks DanG and all. I got to say that flavor is my number one quest (and the main reason that kissing cigs goodbye as been so easy).

No problem, happy we could help

Thanks your ? help me too .

It's a bit of a trade-off. Presuming no allergy either way, here are the + and -
PG+ better at carrying flavor
PG+ better at carrying TH
PG+/- thinner, too much and may cause leaks/too little and thick juice may not wick to the coil
VG+/- thicker, too much and thick juice may not wick well, too little and thin juice may leak
VG+ better at producing vapor

So try a couple ratios and decide what you like!
I've started to DIY, so I can make something 50/50, and then next time if I think i want a little more vapor to it, could make it 43/57 if I want to...

Including me, so I'm kind of annoyed when PG-free options aren't available.

PG = throat hit
VG = vapour production
PG = thinner
VG = thicker
I use 60/40 VG/PG ratio and find that it gives me a good throat hit and nice vapour production but everyone is different.
If using a big ratio in favour of VG and you find you are getting dry hits due to your coil being clogged and junked up because of the thickness of the juice and you cannot use PG. Try thinning the VG with distilled water by 1% (some people use vodka).
