I have been using only VG based nic but yesterday I ordered 1000 ml
of PG based nic this time because I’m thinking it would be easier to properly shake it thoroughly since I put my nic in amber 30 ml bottles and refrigerate them and when I shake them I don’t think I am mixing them good enough any thoughts ?
I only buy PG nic, easier to use, stores longer and its easier to use. Did i mention it is easier to use? Hehe
Seriously, i would only buy VG based if someone was extremely sensitive to PG.
is it easy to use (lol) JK
As far as I know I have no problem with PG I usually mix 30 PG / 70 VG and I’m fine with it.
Thanks Ken!
Nic in pg is all I’ve used for almost 2 years. You can still get a hot spot (did It once), but it’s much easier to shake before mixing.
Thanks Chris
Yup I’m with these guys on that. I have exclusively used VG based nic for the last two years and it is a PITA to shake and mix it well. I am finally getting down to my last 500 ml of nic and my next nic order will be PG based just for the ease of use.
I accidentally ordered 500ml of vg nic, wow what a pain in the ass!
I use a 50/50 Nic base. I bought it that way so that I could get closer to max VG while still being able to blend the Nic easier. I have recently change all of my recipes to a 70vg/30pg ratio so PG Nic would be fine but I still have about 250ml of Nic left. At 50/50 it is pretty easy to shake.
what ken said
I never thought about it until someone on a Dutch forum mentioned how PG works so much better straight from the freezer. I was about to hit “send” for a monster bunker base order somewhere half may, a few days before the TPD would force us to buy the equivalent of a litre of 100mg/ml in 10.000 separate dropper bottles (having to do with max concentration regulations). Coming to think of it I still owe this dude a beer or two
I’m fairly new to mixing so I’ve never tried the VG base nic. I ordered 240ml of 100mg PG based on what I’ve read here in ELR. It mixes easier and is a better flavor carrier. If you are after cloudage vs flavor, I’m not sure if a PG base would effect that much. I enjoy blowing big clouds but I prefer more flavor.
I’ve only ever used pg based.
well i don’t find something really wrong with it… depends on VG/PG ratio you’re mixing and the strength of nic you ordered…
for example… i mix only 70/30 and 80/20 Vg/Pg juices… i don’t even remember when was the last time i mixed something lower in terms of VG…
though mixing with so high vg and flavors like 15-20% could make my VG/PG ratio kinda different as i said depending on the strenth of nic and how much i need to make my juice… that’s all… this is the reason i buy my nic only in VG… otherwise i don’t find a problem
Best thing about pg based nic besides being easier to mix AND suck up into a syringe is pg will last alot longer if you store it in glass containers. Or if you freeze it like I did for the FDA ban. Also pg doesnt attract pathogens as much as VG…
Darker glass is best…keep it out of sunlight and away from heat…The majority of flavors also use PG as a carrier…
Truth is, you screwed up. and you are going to hell for it. j/k
I screwed up and I just have to live with my mistake! got it lol!
