basically what is the difference by opening the airflow more or closing the airflow more when smoking high vg liquids?
High VG more open vs more closed airflow..what is the difference?

I vaped the nautilus mini with a high vg blend with the airflow wide open and it have massive vape. Then it was getting a little off. I read that you should only vape 50/50 or higher pg with the nautilus. But them again many ppl vape with 100vg no probs.
Having a wide open flow would vape up an remaining juice if the tank were to flood using the smaller airflow.

There are a bunch of things that are different.
First is the way you like to vape. If you do lung inhales you need a more open draw to get enough air. If you do mouth inhales you might want less air.
The vape will be cooler with a high flow.
The vape will probably be denser with a low flow.
Some people say the flavor changes. I can't tell the difference but I have a horrible sense of taste.
Some tanks are sensitive to pressure differential, you can lower the differential with a more open flow. The amount of juice taken in will generally be higher the higher the pressure differential is. You can use this to decrease the juice flow it it gurgles or increase the flow if you get dry hits.

One thing I have to say when vaping high VG juices in a tank is that closing the airflow allows the juice to saturate the wick more. So if you are noticing a few dry hits or the wick starting to dry out then closing off the airflow will increase the pressure within and wick more liquid to your coils. And like the other posters have said it's also personal preference too. Whether or not you lung inhale or do mouth to lung inhales will determine what airflow you'll be vaping at.
I mean, there are a few differences that occurs with the change in airflow. It also depends on how you vape.
If youre using an RDA, the more airflow results in more vapor due to the added air carrying the vapor away from the coil. The problem with more airflow (especially witg high VG liquid) is that the liquid consumption of the coil will increase the likely hood of getting dry hits, resulting in burnt wicking. The vapor tends to be cooler and of course the draw is easier.
If you close off some of the airflow, you cut off some of the coils ability to produce vapor. I wouldnt say its a noticably different amount of vapor. I would say its usually more dense, as you have less air and the vapor is more "concentrated." The flavor production i find is usually more pronunced. The downsides of less airflow, is that the draw is harder, and its vapor tends to be warmer.

Let me correct myself. with less airflow, you dont lessen the coils ability to create vapor, you lessen its ability to carry it away from the coil.
