Hmmm.... My wife complained of cough, gag, sinus, stuffed up hours later. High VG didn't work. She probably won't try again.

VG is viscous and does not carry flavors very well. It fact it mutes flavor. Most juices are some combination of VG and PG. I like 70PG/30VG myself . A little thinner than most today but it works very well in my Kayfun. You can add a flavor extract like vanilla to PG or VG but make sure to read the ingredients as vanilla (by law) here in the USA must contain at least 35% ethanol which will thin your viscosity and is flammable at high concentrations in your juice. Make sure the flavoring does NOT contain sugar as many do (coil killer). It would be prudent to spend some time doing your homework by reading others postings in DIY forums - just be cautious as there is lots of misinformation in these forums by people that think they know what they are talking about when, in fact, they don't have a clue what they are doing. I have seen some really stupid and dangerous recommendations over time.

Odd duck here I think. I do not seem to fit the vaping culture mold. After 40 years of smoking the best tobaccos in the world (I like English cigs and pipe tobaccos and Cuban cigars), I realized that vaping had real potential to get me to stop smoking. My problem is I really like tobacco. I was a pit bull though plowing through all the disappointments of crappy juice, dead batteries, leaky atomizers, faulty mods, and bad advice for about six months. I finally found the combinations that work for me. It wasn't easy. I am not a cloud blower or a flavor chaser. I find most vape shops I have visited to be oriented towards kids, the latest fashion hardware, cheap juice and cloud blowing. I am into quality in both my equipment and the liquids. I like high PG as the flavor is there. Unlike most, I do not like artificial food or synthetic tobacco flavors. I only vape natural tobacco flavors - that's what works for me. Unfortunately, that is not what most are into in the forums and the vape shops are devoid of like minded compatriots. Maybe there are a few other "odd ducks" around?

I have three tanks laying around. I take at least two of them with me when I'm out. I vape on and off through the day maybe going hours in between sessions of 5 minutes or so. I notice that the strength of the impulse to vape is not as nagging as when I smoked (two years no smoking).but I vape all day pretty much. I migrated to only natural flavors though - no flavor chasing for me.

Coil cost and availability of getting them is a big factor. Some coils are up to $5 in shops and I rewick/coil every other day. Once I got onto the Kayfuns and the Russion I quit looking for new hardware. I like 26 ga. and mineral wicks and big tanks - I have it just the way I like it. No more factory wicks/coils for me.
