You can just use water, but it already comes with water, so it will get really thin.
The more water, the less smoke.
You can cut with 10% water, some have gone as high as 20% with little effect.
Cutting with VG or PG will make the mix sweeter, but wont loose any smoke output.
You can always mix both water and VG in 5% parts.
Things really depend on what your trying to do,
cut the nicotine levels, cut the flavor, or the harshness, or trying to extend the batch.

Small amounts?
Just get a bottle at the store or health food store.
I paid $.59 cents here for one.
Measure what you need, and drink the rest

This is 591ml, just looked

People have given different math formulas to figure it out here.
36mg + Xmg =24mg?

If you can figure the math out on your own just ask and someone will answer.

Kate has posted a specific recipe here, justrubl:

Propylene glycol is the main ingredient in e-juice already, around 90 percent.

It's not a controlled substance. It's not thick like VG, and adds no funny taste.

And it's cheap

I ordered mine right from the pharmacy for $8 for 1/2 litre (Canada)

I'm pretty sure it's available in whatever country you are in, correct me if I'm wrong please.

I got my pg here at $6.05 for 16 ozs.

They also have vg ($3.65 for 16 ozs), and a 1 oz menthol crystals sample for $3.00.

I hope it's not pee-yellow, like the product photo, that's just not right... pure PG is clear.
