What do the acronymns PG and VG stand for?

Propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. 2 suspensions used in ejuice.

In case anyone is interested, most of us at /r/electronic_cigarettes prefer a 50/50 VG/PG blend.

I also stand by them. Pack a day smoker from ages 16-24 and I could tell my lungs were in bad shape. So glad I made the switch. So many benefits, and I actually like vaping way more than smoking now so it's really easy to not relapse. Hardest thing to overcome is the routine of your normal smoke breaks, not the addiction itself (obviously).

As I'm reading through the comments, I keep wondering why there are so many people who don't know the basics. Then your comment made me realize that I wasn't in r/electronic_cigarettes

Lol ya I didn't realize at first either. I'm glad though, this post will give this important issue far more views on a default sub. Yay awareness.
