I have Boots VG which i thinned with de-mineralised water. I have some LF VG,does this need thinning? Mixed a couple of batches last night and forgot.I mix 50/50 by the way.

The Boots is 100% glycerine so needs thinning as you know. I actually use 85 VG (vegetable glycerine) / 15 Vodka (37.5% proof). LF VG you refer to may be AG ( Aqueous Glycerine) so is all ready thinned. You should know by its viscosity.

Just had a look at the Liberty Flights VG base (diluent). It says it is thinned 90%/10% so is not to thick to work with. By this I think they are making it easier to syringe or pour. I would thin it a bit more, say another 5%, but how much you thin is personal choice and how you find it wicks. I find with some of the atomisers I need to thin slightly more than 85/15 but too much and it make it too thin and can start to flood the wick and gurgles if not used for a while. Also with my titan tanks (510 cartridge tanks) it leaks out overnight if too thin. I started with thinning 15% (100/15) and found a bit too thick so tried 85/15 which is approx 17.5% added and was much better. The nicotine base I was using was quite thick AG based and often had to add a few drops vodka to a mix. I am now using Postmodern Smoking PG based nicotine and when mixed is fine with my 85/15. Expect I am confusing you even more now. My final resulting flavoured mixed juice is approx 30% PG 12mg. 23%pg comes from the nicotine base and 7% from the flavouring ..approx.

No confusion Brambles,spot on. Appreciate your help. I find a particular vendors juice prone to gurgling, but it is a good vape. Think i will thin my LF VG a little more. Im still learning lol.
