Damn. Thanks for the in depth list!! What's the difference between the PG/VG variations? I've read a couple things that talk about allergies and stuff but can't seem to get it. A majority of the juices I have are given to me by friends or my IT guy (he had an online shop before a bunch of drama with his business partner) so I just take what I'm given and enjoy them simply because they were gifts. I have noticed that some of them make my breath get icky quickly. I don't know if it's because of the dryness or something? I've been try to be more aware of this but I've been sick the last week so it's throwing off my super sciencey observation process. :P I had a bunch of random chinese cheap ones at first. Now I have been using NicVape that my IT guy gave me. Full bottle experiences: Dragon Fruit - Pretty good. A little sweeter than I like but really interesting flavor, especially with a single drop of menthol added to cartridge. Wild Raz is bad - it smells and tastes like soap. Pomegranate is okay. Apple Menthol - first batch I had was amazing. Tasted like a nice green apple without being overly sweet. Second had too much menthol so you can barely taste the apple. Single cartridge tries: Gummybear - really interesting but gross. It tasted exactly like gummy bears, including that weird sort of powdery aftertaste. Props to them for nailing that detail though! LOL! Bacon - tried this one. Do not recommend. Under any circumstances. Blackberry bourbon - tried once and switched back to a fruity one. Couldn't really decipher the flavor but I wasn't a fan. I have the hawk sauce now that I like and cream soda from Mt. Baker that is alright. My coworker doesn't like how it smells though so I doubt I'll use it much. It smells so damn overly sweet. I also have a Dank Hunny Dew (their spelling, not mine) from a local head shop who is mixing their own stuff now. That shit is fabulous. Also - shouting out ElGuapo again. Read the comment above this one.
I'm not an expert, but from what I've read PG is what gives the throat hit and also what gives one "vape throat" (as I like to call it). PG is really thin, so a high PG ratio means a thinner juice. VG is what makes most of the cloudy vapor and unlike PG, is slightly sweet. Some people say that VGs natural sweetness masks flavors from juices, but I don't know how true that is. It is also thicker, so juices with a high VG might clog heads faster, though I haven't really noticed a difference. I've read that some people find that VG-heavy juices make them phlegmy. I'm not sure I've noticed any change in my phlegm level, but I did smoke for a long time, so maybe I just don't know what a normal phlegm level is? Anyway, I like 50/50 because 70/30 feels harsh in a way that does not mirror my smoking experience. Bottles do go a little faster, but I like the experience better. I'd like to try different ratios sometime in the future, but I'm all set at the moment. Thanks for your reply list! I've been pretty curious about trying another brand, but as I'm on a budget I figured I'd explore a brand I've had good service from. I wonder where all these flavors are coming from and who is manufacturing them. I'd love it if there were some kind of international body that could vet this stuff for consumers, but such a body independent of a government seems like a fantasy at the moment. I don't know your feelings on the baconmania that we're living through, but I'm about ready for it to stop, much as I love the stuff. I had a candy bar the other day with bacon and potato chip bits in it. It reminded me of when I used to smoke pot, but not really in a fond way. I'll be sure to steer clear of any bacon juice though, thanks for the heads up. I'm not really sure what you mean about the powdery aftertaste of gummy bears, but then again, I haven't had any for a while. Does it taste like a specific color of gummy bear, or is it more of a general gummy bear flavor? I once had the misfortune of eating gummybear ice-cream. Terrible combo. The gummy bears got really hard and it felt like my fillings were coming out when I chewed them. Incidentally, I recently read about Haribo sugarless gummy bears causing painful diarrhea in a number of customers. Perhaps gummy bears are more sinister than I once thought. Have you found anything that alleviates vape throat? I find that it's in a spot that doesn't get wet when I drink water, somehow. So far, it's what I like least about vaping.
