50/50 ratio flavour limitations?

[Mr Ripple]

Smoking tobacco in a hookah is quite a popular activity.

Maybe it only goes one way.

Maybe it only goes one way.

Which way?

 

[Mr Ripple]

Which way?

MTL and deserts dont gel that well together.
Certainly my experience anyway.

Historically, I'm sure most juices were thinner, ie higher PG, because of the wicking limitations of the devices at the time. I recall silica wicks being ubiquitous in mid 2014 and organic cotton was only just becoming the latest thing. A few were faffing about with mesh in Gennies. Juice manufacturers settled on 50/50 as a happy medium for the majority of customers.
I dislike throat hit personally, I prefer a thicker, softer and smoother vapour because of something I can only describe as mouth feel. Maybe it's this that makes desserts and custards preferable for some in higher VG?

Interestingly, I moved away from MTL devices in 2014 towards RDAs. My DIY shifted away from 50/50 and 60/40 to however much VG the recipe could take. I just stopped adding PG other than the freebase nic and flavourings. At the same time I shifted away from tobacco flavours and Muji cotton ... coincidence?

I make juices for a few friends and they want 50/50 and 60/40. I make no allowance for the ratio in my recipes and frankly, when I try my DIY in their devices, I don't perceive any increase in flavour delivery over my higher VG versions, neither do they when they try mine. I don't doubt that a 70PG would differ noticeably from a 70VG, depending on the device.

I think this is what I was probably trying to get at in my first post. I bought a 50/50 custard liquid once and it just didn’t seem right to me, thinking about it now it was the throat hit. I don’t vape dessert liquids all the time, but I definitely prefer them with less throat hit.

I use 50/50 nic base then PG all the way.
Like gargling gravel is my preference.

I think you might be in a minority about this.

Probably but I'm not so sure.
Do you know of any desert juices that work as well for mtl as dtl?

 

[zouzounaki]

I don’t ever puff any airy devices @StrawberryRipple apart from the odd mtl lungy (there’s a thread about this). So no.

But that isn’t what you said. You said mtl and desserts don’t gel that well together. I do t think this is true at all.
