What surprised us is how much a small shift in ratio changes the experience. Going from 70/30 to 60/40 might not sound like much, but it noticeably increases the throat hit and sharpens the flavor. For someone transitioning off cigarettes, that extra kick can be the difference between a satisfying vape and one that leaves you reaching for a smoke.

Also surprising: the sweetness. VG has a natural sweetness that can alter how your flavors come across. A high-VG mix can make a dessert flavor taste rounder and richer. A high-PG mix can make the same flavor taste crisper and more pronounced. So the ratio isn't just about clouds and throat—it's a flavor control knob too.

If you're curious to test this yourself, a 60/40 blend is a gentle step toward more throat hit without going full 50/50. For cloud chasers, 80/20 is a good middle ground between vapor and flavor.
