How much water can be added ?

[vince01]

Do any of the vets know of any experiments carried out to determine how much water can be added to e juice before the electrical conductivity of the juice is altered enough to stop the atty from working ie short out ?

Thinks

Have you ever splashed a little water in a pan with grease in it? Like, say you're making bacon and you pull the bacon out and your tongs have a drop of water on them. The water doesn't just mix in with the grease, it pops and sort of explodes from the heat.

That's similar to how water reacts in the coil. If you put a bunch of water in, you're going to experience hot water droplets bursting up to your mouth well before you have to worry about shorting out the atty.

Good Question. And I have No Idea. LOL

But seeing that I have Never Heard of it Happening, I Imagine that the Hit you get will become Horribly Weak before you reach a Point of Shorting a coil.

If you can Even Short a Coil this way in the First Place.

Because I have Run Clearos with just Water in them. And they Didn't short out. But that Doesn't mean that at Some Voltages/Wattages it can't happen.

I experimented with adding tap water (more conductive than DW, BTW) when I first started making juice. If I remember correctly at around 20% the juice became unvapeable for me. My power supply did not however short.

Hope that helps

At vaping voltages water is essentially not conductive at all. As said above, too much water in the juice will render it un-vapable, though.

If you are adding the water to make the juice less thick, add it in small amounts and make sure its mixed before adding more. If you are adding just enough water, this will not be an issue.

You might want to check the DIY section of the General Liquids section. I know people add distilled water to high ratio vg to make in thinner, but I don't know how much.

No idea. But I know that general recommendation for 100% VG e-liquids is up to 20% water.
