When browsing for juices online the term pg/vg appears on many of the same brands and for the life of me can't figure what it stands for.

also looking at what the term steeping means (in english please) lol.

lastly can you guess what I'm looking at trying for my next flavour with the 2 questions above? :worship:
 
pg - propylene glycol
vg - vegetable glycerin
both are suspension fluids used to dilute down the nicotine base

steeping means leaving the bottle of juice, cap off, in a cool dark place for 3-7 days to let it "age" it lets complex flavor combinations mix and fully integrate, many juices are nasty fresh but turn out really nice once steeped
 
Not sure of the correct terms for pg vg, steeping i think is letting all the flavours settle/grow.

And my guess is grants vanilla custard.

Cheers mate for the quick reply, think i have bought pg flavour in the past but only noticed it now!
is there any real difference between the 2?
 
If I remember correctly PG is thicker, so a PG rich juice is better for dripping, VG is sweeter and thinner making it better for tanks.

That could be incorrect, I don't have personal experience with either other then buying premixed juices, but I think I got it right haha. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will correct me if I'm wrong!

PG distributes flavour, vg delivers plentiful steam, pg can give you a dry throat, vg can give you spots, vg can be a smoother vape, pg can give a better throat hit, I am at a 50/5o ratio myself, oh, and vg cross dresses on a Friday night and parties large in all the wrong clubs in Berlin, pg, on the other hand, is a tea-drinking grammer nazi who dresses in leather behind closed doors.

Edit: VG is sweeter, but pg is thinner, hence vg heavy juices can be more difficult to wick depending on what device you use them, you can dilute them with de-ionised water or vodka, but they are great for dripping as is.
