Hi all
Was having a discussion with a few folk today at the MVC meet about the ideal PG/VG ratio.
I know its a very personal thing. Some like their vapes very smooth and soft, more clouds and less throat hit. So perhaps those folks prefer higher VG.
Some like sharper flavour, more throat hit and are not too concerned about clouds. So lower VG may be preferred in this case.
I vaped 50/50 liquids for many months after starting (other than the odd PG high juices like Liqua) and generally liked them. Then my friend and vaping expert @Paulie started getting us on the crusade of VG high juices, which he preferred. Ive tried several of them, but being a person who likes throat hit, I generally feel unsatisfied with these. Yes, they are smooth and its nice to vape but I am not a big cloud person either, so on many fronts, these thick VG heavy juices (say 70% and above) tend to not be my favourites. I have given them a fair chance I would say but I prefer something closer to the 50/50 mark. Maybe 60 VG is about the max I would like. I get stronger flavour, stronger throat hit and they tend to wick easier in tanks.
I am also a person that likes my flavour to be bolder and sharper. I dont like feint flavour, it must come out at me and announce itself. I find the VG heavy juices tend to have more subdued flavour. I know that PG carries the flavour, but it also seems that most VG heavy juices do not compensate enough for this - at least not to my taste it would seem.
Forgive me for using this analogy, but I feel as if the very high VG juices are "blurry" whereas the 50/50 juices tend to be crystal clear. Like this image below:
I also know that the VG heavy juices work better in higher powered devices. But I am not vaping at very high power. More on the normal side of things. Mostly from say 15W to about 25W.
I am not going to generalise because there are some high VG juices I do like a lot. One is Bobas Bounty which is 100% VG. I also love Paulies Guava DIY, which is very high VG.
But in general, I would say I prefer juices to have around 50 to 60 % VG. Not more.
How about you?
