Hi all... well im in day 7 of vaping and not one stinkie since then *very happy*Just wondering whats the "popular" pg/vg ratio of juices. Im currently using myepack dekang liquids whilst waiting for jj juices to steep... but finding it quite harsh/dry on the throat.

VG will give more Vapor PG will give more Throat hit
I tend to use 60vg/40pg
EDIT: Also bear in mind Nicotine levels also increase throat hit so if your levels are high you can decrease the PG level to compensate for it.

I think when first stopping smoking we all crave the throat hit, I did so liked high PG ratios, now I'm over that I prefer 50/50 or higher VG

With my first mix kit I did 5ml each of 10/90, 20/80 etc. I settled on 50/50, so felt I'd wasted my time. At least it satisfied my curiosity.

its a bit 'how long is a piece of string?' scenario. When I first started vaping (all of 5 weeks back) I wanted throat hit and satisfaction but within a few weeks I found throat hit ( ie high vg) a bit rough...so I lowered my mix to 70/30 >>to 60/40 pg-vg. Nowadays I like more vapour, so I think Im actually smoking, rather than my throat feeling ripped off! All I can suggest is play it week by week in early days

Hey Smokeyjo75 and a big huge for your first full week without the stinkies!!! I prefer a 60/40 or 50/50 mix, find too high a PG mix does make me cough, particularly if I'm outside in the cold or walking and vaping, although I used to hate walking and smoking at the same time too

Usually mix at around 80% VG. I always buy my Nic base as VG undiluted with water. i.e., not aqueous VG. I then dilute it by 15% with 7.5% Vodka & 7.5% Deionised/distilled water. The PG comes from the flavouring and the balance PG. (if the flavour is PG based)
I don't get a cough as such with high PG, but I do find it dries the inside my nasal passages.

I have bought enough "stuff" over the last few weeks to stock a small shop... did I need any of it? Nah, absolutely not! But I do like it all!!! On a serious (ish) note, as long as you have a decent spare battery, and a few clearos and spare coil heads for them, then you're all set *shopping*

Hi Smokeyjo75, I just noticed your in London, have you checked out theLondon meeting group allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/31821/8th-london-south-east-meet?page=4#page=1We are meeting a week on Saturday on a floating bar on the Thames. Its a great night out and the chance to view other peoples kit, to chat to mixers and modders and great prizes in the raffle. They're a great gang of women and men ranging from 20ish to ancient(I may get in trouble for that). All are welcome plus partners, but spaces are limited, so you may need to get in fast. link
