Hello. I'm trying to make my own juice. Is it good with just pg and vg? No flavor and nic. Will I still get throat hits? I'm trying to quit smoking

What’s the best ratio for just pg vg juice.

What if it’s pg vg only. Will I still get the sensation of a cig? And if I ever want to put flavor can I use cake baking flavors?

Thanks

Hey! Good on you for trying to quit. I’ve been there.

Here’s the quick rundown:

  • Just PG/VG? Yeah, you can totally do that. It’s called “unflavored” base. It has a very, slightly sweet taste from the VG.
  • Throat Hit? Yes, but a very mild one. PG gives the throat hit and VG makes the vapor. Since you have no nicotine (which is a major source of throat hit), it will be very light.
  • Best Ratio? For just PG/VG, I’d suggest starting with 50% PG / 50% VG . This gives you a bit of throat hit and good vapor. If you want more throat hit, go for 60% PG / 40% VG.
  • Cigarette Sensation? Not really, no. You’ll get the hand-to-mouth action and vapor, but you’ll be missing the nicotine “buzz” and the stronger throat hit. It’s more about the physical habit at that point.
  • Baking Flavors? NO! DO NOT use cake/cookie flavors from the grocery store. They are oil-based and not safe to inhale. You MUST use water-soluble “PG-based” flavor concentrates made specifically for vaping.

Hope this helps! Good luck with your journey. You got this

Best mix for beginners is 50% pg and 50% vg

It will taste a little sweet as orangegrape said but only a slight throat hit as you try adjusting to vape from cigarettes

use only flavours for vaping (food flavourings used in baking, drink mixes, food prep in PG or VG mixes). Using anything other than that will be bad for your vape itself and can be very bad for you as you are not vaporizing the liquid and there are particles in organic mattery (like fruit juices for example) that won’t sit well in your lungs. The regular PG and VG mixtures are water soluble and dissipate, anything else wouldn’t.

You can purchase vape concentrate specifically for vaping to be added to pg/ vg

You will still crave for cigarettes as there is no nicotine in it you will need a concentrate of nicotine depending on how much you smoked to lessen the cravings and this can be slowly reduced over time in order to transition to vape from smoking to work

And congrats in your choice of giving up the stinkies I hope you succeed

This is a online calculator to help you with your ratios in amount you need mix but I’d advise buying ready made nic salts to begin with at 20 mg strength

If you smoke more than 15 cigarettes a day - choose 20 mg salt nic
If you smoke between 1 to 15 cigarettes a day - go for 10mg
The 3mg and 6mg strengths are typically recommended for those who are gradually reducing their nicotine intake or are fully off cigarettes.
