Nope because they can't walk by the fridge or food cupboard without opening them & getting something to eat

In a shopping vein, do you think if I brought less food home, my Teenage Sons would eat less?? Actually, they probably would. You'd have to get to whatever food there is first though. If it hasn't already been said - Boots VG is usually diluted because it is too thick to work with. Can be done with vodka (which I use, puts back some of the throat hit) or de-ionised water - probably also available from Boots I guess - you want to get it from a chemist, not a garage. 10% should do it. I've started using 12 instead of 18 in my kayfun clone, and could probably reduce the flavour as well and still be as good a vape as a clearo. So maybe doing the opposite with 18 would work for you, if you have something inferior in the back of a cupboard .

The only problem is my Sons are all bigger than me now, and faster, I wouldn't fancy my chances with any of them if it was me or the last bit of bread!! De-ionised water, or Filtered or Distilled??

Grizwald says I personally have always bought my VG from Tesco, Dr Oetker Glycerine 38ml for 65p. I know you can buy 200ml at Boots for £1.45 and will probably get round to trying it myself once my own runs out. But a word of caution when buying VG, or Glycerine as its more commonly called in shops, it really does make a difference where you buy it from. I remember getting an Asda brand once, and ended up adding 50% Vodka to get it to the same consistency as my PG. Far too much alcohol, and not good for your atty.See reply #1 in this thread Grizwald

So I'd have no hesitation in buying ( and do ) the VG available from Boots and other Chemists. Those dinky Dr Oetker bottles are fine for a quick mixing fix or making your Royal Icing more pliable, but rather an expensive way of buying in any quantity.

Superdrug - 200ml Glycerin £1.99 - does the job for me, and half the price from some online vaping vendors

LOL. Deionised. Distilled would be fine from a chemist. The idea is to get something reasonably pure and bacteria-free. There are people who admit to using tap-water, and say it works fine, but a bit safer to get something from the chemist.

I'm trying to dilute Snake Oil, and I dont have any at 12mg, I THOUGHT I did, but 50ml at 18mg not 30 at 12mg 20ml at 18mg as I first thought. What a dilemma!! I'm willing to try diluting 10ml with VG and see how the Flavour is then I've seen snake oil for sale in few other places on web, greyhaze in Birmingham sell it for sure, think you can order off their website.....bit more expensive though.

Cat and Dog??? They used to be happy with more potatoes or pasta to fill up, cheap carbs, but have recently all begun to work in Kitchens and have begun to cook themselves meals, great in one way as we get fantastic dinners, but they do use expensive ingredients.

I can get Snake Oil, but only by post, and with Xmas post I'm not sure I'd get it much before January anyway!!

Fair enough, I finished my sample bottle but I'm not so sure about it, I can't seem to taste the complex flavours at all any more as my tastebuds are still changing post smoking! Will get 30ml in new year and see how it goes.
