VG or PG

[davess]

Don't know if anyone has any info on this, but my wife who is asthmatic has starting using ecigs and I wondered if a VG heavy or PG heavy juice would suit her best? Thanks.

Different people have different asthma triggers.

I would start with pure, unflavoured VG and see if there's any issue with that.

If not, add in a flavour (99% of these are PG based) and see if that changes anything

Step, by step and bit by bit till you see if there's an issue somewhere.

Thanks for that. Helpful.

Personally I find too much pg tastes a bit rank but heavy vg can be quite sweet. Bearing this in mind I find I have to alter the sweetness of recipes sometimes. As I squonk all the time now I keep my juice at 30% pg so it's not too thick and it works well.I've heard people say the more pg the more flavour. I'm not so sure with that though but I do find heavy vg takes longer to steep and bring the flavours out.
Hope some of that might be helpful 😊👍

Thanks. All replies are helpful Ideally, I really need info off an asthmatic who vapes or someone who knows an asthmatic vaper.

I have Asthma. Gone from steroids to almost no medication the 2 years I've been vaping. I found extremes of either PG or VG trigger it. My preference is 60/40...
