I'm fine with 100% VG based juice.

Have tried juice which has been mainly PG based & it sets my asthma off. So haven't tried any juice which has PG in.

The flavouring in your VG juice will most likely be carried in PG Hissie . . . but at a level you can obviously tolerate without setting off your asthma.

I started 5 months ago on 70/30 pg/vg and felt fine. Then ?i discovered 2 brands of heavy vg juice which I loved, but my lungs hate me for it, so now I have to go back to a heavy pg mix.

why don't you try 50/50 ?

Ah right perpy. Never knew that.

I actually only buy my juices from James as i know I'm fine with his creations.

Tried it K, 60/40 is the most I can handle at the moment, I'm going back to 70/30 and beyond.

I'm trying 100% PG at the moment....Convinced the rash/red blotch that I keep getting is down to VG

Big down side is the lack of vapour in 100% Pg . . .Almost zero

If all goes well I will introduce VG at 10% each time 90/10 . . 80/20 . . etc

Times like this when I start to wonder why I ever gave up the Rollies

I agree Pixie, most sites are too vague about how much PG/VG is in their mixes.

I agree too!  It took me a while to find a UK supplier when I started looking for VG producers, it seemed like they were more prominent in the US.  Also, it seems to me that for many suppliers fruity flavours seem to favour good old tobacco flavours.  ???

Just noticed this thread.I was wondering why I had very itchy arms and head when I first started vaping. It must have been the level of Pg rather than Vg that caused it. As I now mix my own 60/40 Pg/Vg the problem has gone.
