VG/PG-> Ratios, preferences and you :)

[lauraebk]

Hi!
I know all newbies get confused on the VG/PG thing. I think I have it down ok. Outside of the allergies/health issues it boils down to: VG-vapor but gummy, PG-taste but not as much vape, less gummy... (I think).

What I am curious about is what ratios you personally like. Can you post what flavor/vendor/ratio and equip you use? And any thoughts/experiences you have with different ratios and why you like what you do?

I know its personal experience and that is exactly what I am curious about. So no worries that I will get mad that I like other stuff.

*** Sorry about the "gummy" I think I *do* mean "thick"

60PG/40VG or 50/50 for me! I mostly DIY my juice.

Using a Chameleon and an Indulgence with LR 801 and 510 atties. I'm expecting some 901 and 801 HV atties this week.

Mostly chocolate and coffee flavors. Sometimes the occasional fruit or tobacco.

VG = more vapor and it's not so much gummy as thicker.

I like 50/50 or 80/20 - PG/VG. I buy from Vapor's Etc. I think they are 80/20 but I'm not entirely certain on that. The equipment I use is in my sig.

I like 60% PG, 40% VG. I use a REO Grand and a REO Mini, but I also sometimes use a Riva or an eGo, and I always use cartomizers.

My favorite purchased juices are from Vapor Bomb in the above percentages, and I use the same for DIY.

I don't care if I have throat hit or not, and I think that makes a big difference in ratios for people. I've never noticed anything gummy, even when I've used 100% VG.

Hi! My all-day vape is 2% Perique Black/DIY 80PG/20VG on a JoyE eGo with a standard 2.3 ohm atomizer. I usually drip but like to use a blue-foamed cartridge for breaking in new atomizers (and sometimes "just because"). I have tried higher VG, but thought it was too frustrating hit-wise. Since I still get plenty of vapor with only 20% VG, that's what I've stuck with.

Sorry about using the term "gummy." I think that has negative connotations that I didn't mean. "Thick" is probably better. I am interested in those using the 50/50... Do you notice a difference in the TH (even if TH doesn't matter to you- is it different?)?
I have been using the recommended (usually 80/20) version of juices, thinking about trying 50/50... but don't want to waste my money.
Mixing at home I have enjoyed a larger amt of VG in the mix so thats what prompted my thinking...

Unless I've tried a specific juice before and think it would benefit by more of one or the other I stick with a 50/50 mix.

I messed up once and ordered a juice at 80% VG and ended up loving it, ordered it again at 50/50 and it was mehhhhh, went back to using that one at 80% VG. What I found in that initial mistake was that the ration can effect more than th and vapor.

I'm not picky as long as I like the taste of the juice but lately I've be diy-ing at 90vg/10pg

 

[Thank You]

90/10 VG baby

 

[Levitas]

Used to use 50/50, but now, if I can help it, 100%vg

Pg irritates my throat, but only if I continuously vape it all day long. I can handle small amounts of pg through out the day though.

 

[Levitas]

100% VG for me, I don't crave the TH at all.

I definitely crave the TH, though I am a vg guy. Boba's, I've found, is one that delivers all of my wants and needs. Great Vapor, strong TH, delicious flavor = win for me

 

[RIMP]

80/20, pg/vg
RIMP

 

[wickedmama]

well I have pretty much just started too but I seem to prefer 70/30 pg/vg mix, so far my favorite flavor has been banana, I dont have a fave vendor yet im still searching around and trying different places. My next stop is vapor bomb, and lastly I use a tornado tank system from totally wicked

 

[Olef]

75PG/25VG. I always had to be different

Its tricky because flavors can play such a big part in TH too. For example, I have two PVs going right now with 18 mg juice - one has Vapor Bomb Strawberry in 60/40 and it has zero TH; the other has Vapor Bomb New Peach in 60/40 and it has massive TH. Both are using the same voltage and cartomizers.

The easiest would be to ask, "has anyone bought X flavor from X supplier in X/X and did it have any TH?" Still no guarantee that what someone else thinks a good TH is, some people have it associated with high mg, some with flavor sharpness, some with PG content.

Gotta watch out with that peach flavor! It's wonderful, but the first time I tried it I about fell out of my seat from the TH! And it was a 50/50 blend!

Strictly 80/20 (PG/VG) here. I just settled into that because its a good balance between vapor and flavor. If it doesn't taste good at 80/20, I don't bother.

It's so unexpected lol! Their raspberry and orange are similar for anyone looking for strong TH in a fruit flavor.
