VG vs avg

[igual]

Heyas peeps having a bit of a (CRAFT ) moment regarding VG.
Looking at putting my first mix order in this week will be using justvape247 for nic and flavouring.
And classikool on eBay for pg and VG.
What's confuzzling me atmo is do I need to dilute the VG a bit?
Often hear vodka or distilled deionised water?
Ideally will be making 60 VG 40 pg mixes
Also best place for nic atmo pref 72mg
Any advice greatly appreciated

[OneDay]

I use classikool VG undiluted. It's a bit thick in the winter but fine in summer

[jcol]

Vapers emporium is cheapest for 72mg nic. Iirc it's £41 for 500ml.
If u mixing 40\60 I would deffo cut it with distilled water. I do it at 10% water to VG.
Just make it yourself, I boil a kettle, pour the water into a pot, place a bowl into the water, then put lid on upside down so the handle is facing downwards.
Simmer for 5 mins and u will have about 50ml od distilled water;)
Then I add about 18ml to 180ml of VG.

I think any propylene glycol that is USP/EP grade is good to use

Get VG from boots. Its a LOT cheaper.
£1.29 for 200ml.

I think that pg is OK and other folk here have used it.

Personally, I use classikool (also on eBay) and its 20p cheaper.

Do this!

Not really worth buying for the amount you'll need.

Personally, I don't dilute VG, even for 60/40 mixes.

[Perpetua]

If your VG Nicotine Base is on the runny side ( many are ) then you won't need to dilute plain VG igual . . . by the time you've added PG based flavours, it'll be quite ok to use like that.

I don't and all my mixes are VG heavy, only PG I have is in the flavouring and I've never had any problems with wicking.

That lot should keep you busy mixing igual.


No Vanillin or Sweetener? Then you've the ingredients for Custardy Lovechild and they're both very useful additives to have in. 

[igual]

Yep vanillin ordered earlier was gonna use either ethyl maltol or brown sugar as sweetner

[Perpetua]

Personally I don't get on with ethyl maltol as a sweetener, in as much as I don't find it adds any sweetness unless you add 2-4%, which can then be a coil gunker. Brown Sugar although nice, doesn't sweeten especially, more gives a flavour.

But that's just my personal tastes, you may find different igual.

TPA's sweetener which is Sucralose based, works very well for me at 1% so I stick with that.
