Is THIS the right VG ?

Yep, looks right to me! You can also use the Dr Oetker glycerin available in most supermarkets

[Banky]

Yep either that or the Glycerin from Boots

Didn't know boots sell that I always buy their own make, the one you have I think it's cheaper.

I was trying to google it while the Mrs was itching for more shopping therapy, bought it anyway as I could use it for cough syrup if wrong. I'll never have a sore throat again heh.

Looks fine to me. You'll have to thin it with something (deionised water, vodka, or PG) to use it.

What happens if you dont thin it?
Will it make your coils turn black very quickly as i think i might have done this last night.

It will not be thin enough to wick well, not enough liquid getting to the coils, resulting in semi dry burning of the coils and a burnt taste in your mouth.

Damn thats what i did then.
So the PG alone will not water down the VG enough?
In my mix i had 22% flav. 53%PG and 25% VG.

It may do, it all depends on the gloopyness of the VG to start with..... they all vary a bit.

But a standard to go with is 10% thining of the VG, that should sort it.

That mix will be fine, I have the same glycerin as you and mix it at a 50/50 or 60pg 40vg ratio. My nic base is also PG and I have been using 20% flavouring which is PG based so it'll all come good

i've also used the same brand of VG before and mixed it @ 30% without needing to dilute it any and it vapes really well. I was getting mine from Superdrug and it was more expensive so get Boots own brand now www.boots.com/en/Boots-Value-Health-Glycerin-B-P-200ml_852418/

Any benefit to water or vodka ? Will the vodka leave any taste in the mix ?

I've not used water myself. Vodka increases throat hit, you don't taste it unless you put loads in I imagine lol.
