Turns out I probably didn’t need to get up early. Dd isn’t sure that they will be here today.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit this but what-the-heck...

Due to various life circumstances, I don't always want to fully holster-up, Basically, I'm not always wearing jeans or anything with a belt. If I'm only running out to a store, I really don't want to change into belted pants, but I did for a very long time.

Just wanting to wrap something on for a quick run here or there. Over the years, I've collected more than just a couple of belly-band holsters, most of which REALLY SUCK.

One that works for me is the Alien Gear "Low" thingie (can't remember the name). It's the one with the Kydex holster attached. It's quite comfortable, but the Kydex part makes a bit more difficult during the summer. It prints easily if not wearing something fairly large, such as a hoodie or jacket or whatever. I RARELY use it in the summer since I'm usually in a golf shirt (or similar).

All that said, and even though I know better, I finally bit for one of those VNSH holsters that are advertised every 20 seconds on social media. I had to try it, and the return policy made it worth taking a chance.

I've been using it almost exclusively for the past 2-3 months. When the guy says it's the most comfortable holster ever, he's not kidding (at least in my opinion).

It's not perfect (nothing is), but it's great for how I sometimes prefer to carry. Anything elongated, I'm still belting up and going "traditional", but for a quick hop out, the VNSH is fantastic for me. The Alien Gear one is beginning to get jealous though.

They're supposedly coming out with a V2 sometime soon, which corrects a few little nagging issues, so it's probably worth waiting IF anyone's considering getting one. I won't be since my needs with it are simple. The current version works fine for me.

Every once in a great while, something advertised on social media works out. I still try to avoid most stuff, but this one was a hit for me.

Just like vaping, it's subjective. The right one is the one that you'll use, what-EVER that may be.

Good morning lurkers

Have a fabulous day!!

That's a lot of water and would probably thin the mix out too much. I'd start with a few drops to maybe 1 ml, and add more as needed. It's a lot easier to add the water than to take it away.

Thanks, I will test it today.

BTW do we need a food grade vegetable glycerin or those Skin Care/Pharmaceutical vegetable glycerin will work?

I asked chatgpt for this and the result is,

Certainly, for a 10 ml mix, here are the proportions you would need:

• 2.4 ml of original e-liquid (This will provide you with 6 mg/ml nicotine, and contribute 1.68 ml of VG and 0.72 ml of PG)
• 6.82 ml of pure VG (This brings your total VG content up to 85% of the mix)
• 0.78 ml of distilled water (This makes up the remainder of the mix)

Please keep in mind that the total PG content in this mix will be higher than the 2.5% you initially wanted due to the PG in your original e-liquid. Achieving a PG content of 2.5% while maintaining a nicotine strength of 6 mg/ml using your original e-liquid is not possible due to its high PG content.

As a result, the actual percentages for this 10 ml mix will be approximately:

• 84% VG
• 7.2% PG
• 7.8% Water
• 6 mg/ml nicotine

Actually, I never thought we can make our own juice, lol. when OnTheFidele said about mixing I thought I will mix after buying.

Now I am wondering if I buy vegetable glycerin and mix it with my 25mg juice + some water I think that will reduce the PG percentage and also reduce the nic percentage.

For example, my current juice has 25Mg, VG 70 - PG 30, now If I take 40ML VG + 8ML water + 2ML juice = 50ML

I don't know how these work so I just estimated. Do you think it will really reduce nic and PG?

So you are looking for retail juice and are not trying to make your own juices?
