How much distilled water should i use?

[dohermon]

Im looking at adding distilled water to my mix to thin it, if i use 60% pg 40% vg 20% flavour, what % water should i use? It might be a trial and error thing but any suggestions would b great

Wow that looks thin anyway
What are you vaping it with?

[dohermon]

Im using a kangertech genie tank. i get my vg from boots and its quiet thick, been mixing it with red astare but it seems alot thick than the ready made stuff they sell plus it feels like its losing flavour. I thought mayb thinning it might help it soak into the wick a bit better?? Im new to this as u can proberbly see ?????

I'd start at 5% with your Boots VG dohermon . . . . you shouldn't need much, given the ratio of PG you intend using - so I'd go easy myself.

You can use Vodka, if you've nothing against that dohermon - although if you prefer not to use it, then Purified Water from the Chemists is easier to source than Distilled.

Or a still bottled water . . . . if I use water, then it's filtered/boiled from the kettle. A few microbes are highly unlikely to kill me after 36 years smoking.

Most over the counter AG Ive had in the past is around 20%
Ive added upto 25% with no visible loss of vapour in a 98.5% VG mix (thats H2O added to the VG in bulk not as I mix BTW).
Being a cheapskate I look at it like getting a free litre of AG for every 4 litres of VG I buy lol.

Hi dohermon With Boots VG I split into 2 x 100ml then add 20ml Purified Water to each, makes it easier to work with. I get my Purified Water from Tesco pharmacy, about £3 for 2.5 litre but you have to order it, I think you can get smaller quantities though. Cant seem to get distilled water from anywhere now only deionised but dont use that,its not sterilized like distilled or purified or as Perpetua. says vodka or water filtered/boiled if stuck
If I have a mix thats too thick I tend to add just 2 or 3 drops of water, I find thats usualy enough.

Thanks everyone, some good tips there il give them a go and see how it goes, hopefully il get sum results unlike my football coupon today haha thanks again

Great advice and taught me a thing or two as well.
Hmmm I might drop the pg

Only the messenger....

Drinking true purified water has inherent risks associated with it being a pure chemical state. I wonder (asking really) if this has any risk due to being vaped and in such small quantities?
