50/50 or Max VG?
These are the base of your liquid 50/50 means the base is 50% propylene glycol and 50% vegetable glycerine. Max VG comes out at about 80% vegetable glycerine and 20% vegetable glycerine as flavouring are almost always PG based.
Been told you need MAX VG by the guy puffing huge clouds on the street corner as VG is so much better? We have heard this a lot in the trade but this is not necessarily true.
PG’s main job in eliquid is to carry flavour, it’s thinner than VG which means that flavours mix into it better than VG, allowing for stronger flavours at the same ratios therefore PG liquids will taste stronger, unfortunately it’s harsher on the throat than VG so a mix is preferable to most. Some high power devices also require thicker juice but a 50/50 should be ok in 99% of instances
In short
