It depends, I use boots VG which is also very thick, as long as I mix with no more than VG 50% it's fine without diluting.
Get it from boots it's only £1.50 ish for 100ml.

If your going to mix above 50/50 then add 10% water

[poochops]

If it's too thick Clive, boil a kettle, let it cool a little then add some of that. I use 15% in Boots VG but that's some gloopy stuff that!

[Roger]

That's expensive (£4.79 for 250ml) compared to Boots VG, £1.29 for 200ml

As said previously, Boots is cheaper, and probably local too.

That is pure VG, and more expensive than buying multiple 200ml bottles from Boots. If it's as thick as the Boots stuff, then you will have to water it down with distiled water.
Are you not using any PG?

lots of people on here recommended the ebay stuff above.

Then get the boots VG and no need to dilute VG at that ratio 

[clivealive1]

will the boot stuff syringe ok ?

[seniorphil]

It's thick, but I measured it with a syringe.

[clivealive1]

ok here goes :
boots: Value Health Glycerin B.P - 200ml @£1.29 X 3 = £3.87
1000ml 1L MPG Propylene glycol USP/EP 99+% Pharmaceutical grade £7.48
PG 72mg 7.2% nicotine base £15.49 inc delivery
Gloves Nitrile Large £1.90
Concentrate,bottles shringes etc
just need to find a micxing bowl what do people use?
thats it right ?

It'll syringe fine with a biggish diameter needle......after a while though, it does tend to thicken up....I normally add a bit of vodka to the bottle.......they say 15% to 100ml VG, but I just add until it gets a bit more workable.

Use the calculator ( a lot of us use e-juicemeup ) to work out all your %/ml of base & flavouring & syringe/dropper each amount into whatever bottle you are putting it into to steep.

[Greg]

I just mix straight into a 30ml bottle.
Get the green blunt needles (14 gauge I think) for VG, anything smaller is a struggle to draw it up into the syringe.

In fact you can use the syringe without a needle initially but as the level lowers you'll likely need a needle

[Karma]

you can always measure the VG in a small medicine measuring cup or pour it into something else and use a syringe without a needle
