A few questions about high VG mixing

[Uselessdreamer1]

Hello! I was wondering what you guys/gals do when you are mixing 80+% of VG in juices? Do you add water? How much? What does the water do for the juice?

Also, I have a full container of EM crystals and I forgot how to mix this into a useable sweetener... On that note, How much sweetner would you reccomend for a 15ml juice?


Thanks!

I mix 5% - .09 Saline in all of my high VG juice. Seems to thin it enough.

Generally speaking, if the mix has between 70-80% VG, I like to add 2% distilled water (DW). I just plug this in as a PG flavoring in my calculator. If there is more VG than 80%, I add enough DW to bring the VG content back down to 80-85%. Say, for example, that I have this recipe -

3% Flavor A (PG)
2% Flavor B (PG)
12% VG Nic Base (12mg/mL end result)
83% VG

This would equate to 95% VG, since the nic is VG as well. Thus, in this particular mix, I would add 10% DW (as a PG flavoring in the calculator) to the VG down to 85%. I typically never go over 10% DW, though, as I've noticed that it can mute certain recipes and pop on the coil a bit more often at high %'s.

I've also stopped using saline solution, as I've found it to be a coil clogger. It does enhance chocolates when used at around 2%, imo, but I've phased it out for the most part in favor of pure DW.

I just mix 0mg liquid with flavoring and VG. I haven't had a problem with wicking in my kayfuns at 30 watts or my RDAs at 50 watts.

I use 7% of total volume in DW. eg:

5% flavoring
7% DW
88% VG

DW definitely helps with the throat hit, and also produces more vapor.
