Is the B.P. from boots PG or VG ? or is there a choice ?

You can't get PG as a rule from Chemist's, although some will Special Order it in for you . . . other than Ecig Vendors ( Cige does good deals on PG ) there's also this Seller on Ebay who sells PG . . . I've used them very happily.

Don't forget, if you buy VG from a Chemist it won't be pre-diluted as it would be from a Ecig Vendor, so it will be very gloopy . . . the best way of diluting it ready for mixing, is to remove 5ml . . . then add 5ml of vodka or distilled water to make the liquid more manageable.

I should add . . . remove 5ml from a 250ml bottle, then you're good to go.

If when any of you search for Propylene Glycol on ebay Dont be tempted with DI-propylene Glycol it is NOT propylene glycol
it is Dipropylene Glycol DPG the seller has added a - after Di it is DPG not PG you dont want it for vaping it might look the same but dont use it PLEASE!
Also please note technical grade PG is not the grade you need
it is to low
One seller of cheap PG on ebay has a photo of three sized bottles the labels in the photos say technical grade this is also NOT what you want!

Oh nooo, something else I have to buy. but thanks for letting me know perpy, I wouldn't have had a clue. It won't be vodka thiough! Do they sell distilled water in a supermarket? Thanks. x

i was in tesco today and they sell Glycerin in the baking section 35ml for 30p and they had de-ionised water in the motoring section 2.5l for £1.25 ish

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Thank you Gordy!!

Just updated my online order. Glycerin was 65p in our Tesco though and water is £1.50. Didn't know de-ionised was distilled, so I've learnt something too!

[Gordy]

glycerin was 3 for 2 i think
distilled and de ionised are slightly different but either will work... it just to make sure the water is pure

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Got the de-ionised water and glycerine now, but not having a play tonight, can't be bothered ATM!

[Gordy]

i read on another thread Griz suggested adding 20% water to the tesco glycerine

[Anne (fuzzy)]

From what I remember, perpy said remove 5ml of glycerin and replace with 5 ml water - as an example of quantity. I'm useless at maths and percentages, but as there's 5 x 20's in one hundred, that works out the same measurement - I think

[bluemagnum]

5ml of water in 245ml of vg would be well to thick for me, I mix mine 2 parts vodka to 8 parts of vg

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Where do you keep bogging off to Gordy?? You're in here one minute....then gone the next! Lol.



Channel hopping like most men I s'pose....

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Oh I see you''re back again. Humph.

Don't like the smell of alcohol blue, makes me feel sick!

[bluemagnum]

You can't smell it, or at least I can't. It does the same job as de- ionised water so will work the same.

[Anne (fuzzy)]

The bottle of glycerin I have is 38 ml, so I would need to add 1.9 ml of water?

[Anne (fuzzy)]

I don't have any vodka blue, I never buy it and water is cheaper.

Those percentages don't seem right, the glycerin would be too gloopy.
