    Default Weakening strengths.. can I do this?

    I noticed TW, offers O mg diy juices.. can I use that to weaken an 18 mg strength.. for instance if I was going to use 4 drops.. can I do 2 drops of the O Mg diy unflavored and add 2 drops 18 mg.. does that cut it in half??

    Where does everyone purchase PG/VG then to weaken the strength of their stuff?? would you please share the sites??

    There are several websites to purchase either PG or VG. They are usually available at local drugstores. I would call around to the ones close to you and see if they carry them. Also, checking some of the suppliers on this forum to see if they stock them. I do know liquidexpress carries both. That is where i purchase mine when i stock up on juices..
    To each, their own.

    Use PG or VG to "cut" the juice. It is a lot cheaper..........

    Definitely cheaper to cut with Propylene Glycol(PG) or Vegetable Glycerin (VG). I have not been able to find any place locally to buy PG but bought VG at my local health food store. You can also buy it at Wal Mart (but I hate everything they stand for and won't buy anything there)
    Can't we all just get along?

    Here is the cheapest source of PG I have found online. Buy 2, it ships for the same price as 1.

    Generic - Propylene Glycol #338-230-Z

    Don't forget that if you are diluting using PG/VG, you will also be diluting the flavour.

    To answer your original question: yes you can use the TW 0mg liquid to dilute the 18mg, and yes, using it in equal measures, you would end up with 9mg. Obviously, this method is a more expensive way to lower the mg, but it is a way to do it without losing any flavour

    I find that good juice (like TW) can be cut by half and still retain pretty good flavor, at least to me..........

    Thanks Elendil, does that cut the flavor as well by 1/2, or don't you notice a difference? Just tried the VG from JC, honestly can't tell any difference in vapor or flavor, mine is always "tobacco" or "original" flavor, but it is very very mild to begin with. But can't tell, I think the VG or "non-pg" as they call it seems to dry in the cart faster? Maybe just because it's Saturday, and I've been sitting here all evening....

    I almost always use unflavored liquid and add loranns. However, my wife likes the TW Mar boro flavor and I cut it by half, and while you lose a little bit of flavor, it holds up pretty well...

    Default Cvs

    CVS didn't have Propylene Glycol it in stock, but they ordered it and I picked it up the next day. $11.81 for 16 ounces.
    Write it down before you go because they may try to give you something else that sounds close. I had to spell it at least 4 times.
    There is abother thread that says Tractor Supply carries it, but it's by the gallon.
