No Vodka - No Water

[lenny59]

Hi All

Just wondering if my Juice that I mix will be ok if I dont use Vodka or water ?

Any problems anyone can see before I begin my adventure into the world of mixing ?

Obviously the VG is going to be "Thick" . . . But will the overall juice be too thick ?

Thanks in advance for an replies

If this is supermarket VG it's a pig to work with if you don't thin it. I'd have thought the final juice would be too thick as well.

Get some PG....this is what I tend to buy though there are others

I don't use vodka or water. I mix at 70/30 or 60/40 or 50/50 and it's fine

Hi Lenny,

i would just experiment, compare with the consistency of your premixed juices and you should not go too wrong, i have mixed VG with food flavouring and had to add 15% vodka to get a decent vape but on my first mix with Nicotine in PG, flavouring, and added VG but only needed 10% Vodka to get what i think is a decent consistency.(now patiently waiting during the steeping process)

i go on the premise you can always add but you can't take away and also because i'm a tight git tried without nicotine first.

i'm sure you will get some great advice from much more experienced D.I.Y mixers, some great tips from the forum has been a godsend for me.


oooh really starting to waffle do you think anyone can guess i have just got home from skittles (traditional Dorset drinking game)
Good luck

It's all been said really Lenny, trial & error to see what suits you best.

I dilute my VG down, because it makes it easier to work with and I use VG base . . . if you're using a PG Nic base, you'll probably be fine without diluting it.

I read all the threads I could find before trying my first mix @ 20% water with a VG base - far too thin. 10% works nicely though, although you could just direct drip some VG and see what happens

Thanks for all the replies......I will use PG Nic base and see if that gets it thin enough

I'm being awkward I know.....But I just dont want to use water....and Vodka is off limits to me

Hi,
I buy 24mg PG juice in 15 ml bottles and dilute it 50/50 with supermarket VG. Because I only vape menthol I add about 10 drops of supermarket peppermint flavouring.
Doing it this way doubles my juice from 15 to 30ml and cuts the nicotine down to 12mg. The peppermint adds flavour and dilutes the mix so that it is right for vaping.
