In the percentages used for dilution it makes no difference.
Use tap water, it's fine. I have vaped plain tap water.

That's my next port of call.. I am gonna try a 3.5 % GR + 2 % Apple + 2% caramel and let it rest for a couple of weeks and see if it makes a nice Caramel Apple tobacco. Unproven recipe below for 24 mg juice:

I guess so. Suffice to say once I have tried different flavour percentages-might as well since I already have it- I am very unlikely to buy this flavour.

I really don't see what is the issue..The screw is adjustable to take into account the sightly different sizes so it does not matter how much you have to unscrew to make contact and eliminate battery rattle. The way to assemble is put the atty on the top cap, then use the center pin screw to adjust it so that the atty sits flush at the top and you have good contact.Then battery tube followed by the battery and then the bottom cap. If it is loose at this point then a 10 x 2 mm thick magnet on the positive side should sort it. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-Strong-Neodymium-disc-magnets-10mm-dia-x-2mm-N35-fridge-models-reborn-craft-/141207431334?pt=UK_Dolls_Accessories_RL&hash=item20e09e68a6If you are feeling brave and don't want to spend money for magnets then use a penny (may need to file/sand it down slightly) but be careful and always use it on the negative side of the battery only. (edit:not recommended if you are a newbie at this.)

Smells like wet grass to me & doesn't taste much better, not that i've ever tasted wet grass. Yeah, smells like hay but changes after about 4 weeks of steeping. I tried my first batch after about 7 weeks. My home made virginia tobacco leaf soaked in nic+ PG/VG did smell the same initially but did mature after about 8 weeks into a very tobaccoish flavour. Shame that juice was a coil gunker even after triple filtering as after the flavour matured it was a very nice vape indeed. May be some of us just need a higher percentage

Mine steeped for longer than 4 weeks and this is what I mixed twice. I currently use 75 mg PG base. Tried it on three different atty's and it's vapeable but only so so..Maybe I 'll try a 4% mix and see where it goes. Burley, I mix at 7.5% and it's fabulous.

Tried two batches of GR with 2.5 %. Can't really say I like it that much...
Burley on the other hand..YUM!

It's still a crap atty and compared to others in the market is probably the worst.
"Works well" is not a term I would use with that atty for the flavour the crap even when it wicks..
Most people who bought it chucked it

It's a crap atty..Ditch it.
It's too tall to get a consistent wicking going even with #500 mesh.

That's a 14500 Bagua clone.
Attachment looks like a SMOK mini RDA or a variant/clone thereof. (A6S, Yoda etc)

If it is the EH Pro, remove the extension tube. The insert the square end of a 1/2 inch ratchet extension piece from the bottom and tap the board and the white insulator out gently.
If the button is fouling the microswitch, there is a chance you could rip the microswitch out or damage the OLED. So be very gentle. Also see if you can determine the position of the microswitch vis-a-vis the button by shining a light from the top.
There is a cut out in the insulator and you can gently try turning the circuit board by inserting a flat bladed screwdriver from the bottom if the microswitch is out of alignment with the butto. The glue only holds the grounding ring to the board rather than sticking it to the tube though there may be some excess which will easily break off.

Sorry, if it is EHPro one, then read my edit to post above.
I was thinking of the box mod that sigelei put out which was also called the T Zmax I think??

If memory serves, the T Zmax has exactly the same circuit board as a Zmax.
So in all likelyhood the button (actuator) presses down directly on the microsswitch soldered to the circuit board. This microswitch is "sprung" by a tiny phospor bronze disc within the sealed switch which is almost impossible to repair.
The switch on the circuit board is a fairly standard 6 x 6 mm microswitch. The way to repair it would be to remove the circuit board (by desoldering all the connections) and de-solder the microswitch and solder a new microswitch on the board before re-assembly. Fiddly but doable.
Edit Add: If it is the EH Pro one then:
Sometimes the circuit board rotates a bit an the button sits on the microswitch at an angle. Simply rotating the board and aligning it correctly will sort out the issue.
If it is the microswitch that is foobar it's a bespoke right angle 3.2 x3.2 mm micro switch on the EH Pro which is almost impossible to source in UK.I have repaired a couple by transplanting the phospor bronze ring, which is a right fiddly job and a bit hit and miss.

If N35, use 2 x magnets on one side. Works fine.
