I have been searching for a detailed pg vg comparison listing the pros and cons of each and am not having much luck. Can someone point me in the right direction as i am sure this information is already on this site!
thanks.

Short version:

PG=throat hit

VG=Vapor production

I'm sure someone will chime in soon w/more

vg gives you less flavor

those three things are about all there is to know.
if you aren't sure what to use. go 50/50 to start and adjust it from there.

Also depending on where you order from I had ordered some Vg which was really thick. This caused terrible wicking with carts and killed my atty. Thats just a horror story not all vg is like that, some people feel very sick using pg so I know a few that will only use vg so they dont get a headache so I agree go 50/50 to start and good luck

VG tends to be 'sweeter' than PG too. For what it's worth, I vape 6 volts and because of that have found that the smoother throat hit of VG really evens things out for me. It's also a great compliment to the intense vapor production of high voltage. I mix my liquid about 60-70% VG; usually the only PG in my juice is in the flavoring. As Jolly suggested though, I do use more flavoring than I probably would if I were vaping straight PG.
