How to mix VG & juice vid

[iceman1110]

I just have a quick question for anyone who may know. This video was very helpful by the way. My question is, if I am going for a no nicotine liquid, can I just add PG or VG and the flavoring and vape that? Is the commercial e-liquid with nicotine playing any part of this besides providing the nicotine and a bit of tobacco flavor?

Always Use Distilled Water, Never Tap or Other Water.

Has anyone cut with half PG and half VG?

Yes, that's how I make my base. 50% 36mg unflavored juice, 25% PG, and 25% VG. That leaves me with a batch of 18mg unflavored, to which I add my flavorings. Works great.

Absolutely! If you don't want the nicotine, then you don't need the e-juice at all: it's basically just nicotine and PG. It's just there to feed the addiction, is all. You will want to use a much lower percentage of VG than you would if you were mixing it with e-juice, however: glycerine is extremely viscous, much thicker than PG.

And yes, the water does need to be distilled. Using tap water is just begging for a whole lot of nasty bacteria to grow in your juice.

So if i dont want nicotine i can just mix up vg (or pg, or both), flavourings, and distilled water and i'm ready to go? Is alcohol ever used? cause i saw it in the sheet that gives info on how to cut eliquid.

Some people like to use alcohol (Everclear, not rubbing alcohol!) instead of distilled water to thin out the glycerine. I don't really know what the difference is, since I don't use either one. The water and/or alcohol is really just to thin out the VG, which is much too thick and gloppy to use on its own. If you make a mix heavier on the PG than the VG, though, then you don't need to thin it out any further.

If you made a mixture of about 75% PG to 25% VG, then that would be fine on its own - you wouldn't need to add anything else to it to get a good consistency. Just add some flavoring to it, and you'll be ready to vape.

What about if you don't want to use the wicked liquid due to wanting to go with 0% nicotine (I know they have it, but I got my flavors ordered already from LorAnn), so what makes up for the lack of the percentage of the wicked liquid?

Thanks for the great vid by the way!
