I bought a bottle from boots today but reading through some posts there is a mention of adding distilled water at 20%. Could you not use it as is out of the bottle?

You could yes but you may have wicking problems due to its viscosity. The only way to find out is to give it a go and see

You can if you're adding it to a PG base Browser . . . although it's easier to handle diluted a little. If you draw some off into a smaller 30ml bottle, than add a splash of Vodka until it loosens up a bit ( around 10/15% ) you'll find it much easier to work with.

Hi Browzer, heard lots about thinning with distilled/deionised water apparently not safe from Halfords/car shops etc, from personal experience i always use Vodka between 5 to 10% (wifey has always got some in the cupboard) does the trick nicely

I'm using 100% VG juice in a vision v3 rebuildable with no wicking issues at all. Guess it's each to their own really.

Does 10% not give a major throat hit ?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using proboards Your flavourings are in PG Collie . . . so it's not a true 100% VG, their viscosity mixed with VG will help with wicking. There are some VG nicotine bases that are diluted with water as it helps to carry/mix the nicotine with VG, something not necessary with a PG nicotine base.
