Viper Ron Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 What is a good percentage of PG vs VG without losing much flavor? All opinions welcome. Right now I am vaping 100% PG and got another one at 50/50 and did not care for it that much. Would like to hear some preferences and reasons why. Thx Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I keep mine at about 80/20 PG/VG. It gives me enough vapor as well as plenty of flavor. It also wicks well in cartomizers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 80/20 seems to be about the right mix for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 80/20 for me. I've was doing higher VG (DIY), but I can taste the VG and didn't car much for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 80/20 is pretty common and for a good reason. I do DIY and there are a few flavors I like to go heavier with VG abut 80/20 seems to work well for just about everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonHitThingWithRock Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 DISCLAIMER: this is based on my personal tastebuds, everybody's are different, and this may not necessarily apply to yours. a lot of the juices i use are about 70pg/30vg from dfwvapor.com or puresmoker.com. high vg juices can be good, but only in some flavors. for instance, sweet-vapes' organic kona cream at 100% vg is awesome, same with their starbuckets mocha. it seems to be coffee flavors that lend themselves well to vg. lighter, fruity flavors are just plain terrible with a lot of vg, and end up tasting like tree bark. vg by itself has a very bark-like taste, and i suspect there are a lot of ways to make a bad tasting juice out of it. most vg-heavy juices i've tried have been pretty terrible. sweet-vapes seems to really know what they're doing with vg, maybe they just use a higher-quality vg? not sure. pg doesn't have much of a flavor on it's own, so the flavoring is all you're really tasting. getting the mix right was one of the most difficult (and expensive) for me in the beginning. I've tried a couple of 100% pg juices, but there was just something a bit off about them for me, hard to put my finger on, but i think at least some vg is necessary in almost any juice. plus pg is very thin, and more prone to leaking than vg, which is very thick, which makes it challenging to use with cartomizers, as it takes forever to fill them. at the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference, just don't box yourself into one mix, or you might be missing out on something that you'll really like.

Tree bark...that is a new description I haven't heard before. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingbtheone Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 i liked 70-30 but just got some 50-50 and its damn good, is a learning curve to personal preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokerevolutionusa Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 80 PG / 20 VG is definitely the preferred mix by most vapers right now. That mix delivers a good amount of vapor, strong throat hit and full flavor from your liquids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
