You get a flavor loss with VG. I mainly DIY but I buy high nic flavors from vendors, mix to preferred nic content. In the process of mixing, I go heavy on the flavors.

Many vendors offer quality VG juice, I would recommend giving Alien Visions a try.

I find a blend works best to let through TH and flavor while buffering the irritation. Nicotine is a skin irritant and PG does very little to buffer against that. When my nic was higher I liked 70pg/30vg and now prefer 80pg/20vg.

I've been vaping for 6 weeks and that happened to me. I thought at first that it might be the pg, but I lowered my nicotine level and started drinking much more water, and it has gotten much better. At first I tried some 100% vg, but couldn't tell that it helped at all, now am trying 50/50 and it hasn't gotten bad again.

To try and remedy my problem i went to DIY Flavor Shack, and bought some VG Juice. It was easier on my throat, but all six flavors i received tasted the same. They all had a plastic/perfume taste to them. As much as I tried, i could not stomach the taste.

1. You have to smell the vapor - a large part of the taste is filled in by the aroma, just like with food or cigs. Obviously fans and wind can make this difficult.
