Adding a little water?

[Way2Gone]

This isn't quite what you would call DIY, but I thought posting here would be the most appropriate place.

Anyways, I just took a couple prebought juices, ones a 60/40 PG, VG and the other is a 50/50 PG,VG blend. I wanted to try a few drops of water to see if it would help. I don't have distilled water, but I have filtered water. I know I am going to get an earful, so try to be nice. I honestly have no transportation to the store and its freezing outside it feels like -8 so I am not walking anywhere. I just used like a maxium of about 3-5 drops in those two blends above.. All i did was add it too my tank after filling the tank with the juice. This won't hurt me right. Like the water vapor that is? I just did it to maybe thin down the mix a little. VG tends to coat my lungs up something terrible and makes me breathe kind of heavy if I smoke a bunch of it.

Thanks for the help.

That shouldn't be a problem. Some add whiskey and other alcohols to their juices. Might have lowered your nicotine level.

A few drops of Filtered water or Vodka will do the trick.

The water will help with the heavy lungs after a while of vaping.

So i imagine a little water in your juice won't be harmful or make you sick? Your lungs that is... just curious. Another question..As far as the heaviness in the lungs, does this come from VG or PG normally? I would assume it varies based on how your body works? Some might get it from VG, some PG? It might be the nic? I don't know.

I've heard/read some say they get heaviness in their chest if they use to high of a ratio of VG. I also now some people are sensitive to PG. Luckily so far, I seem to be ok with PG/VG ratios from 80/20 to 40/60

I personally noticed heaviness when vaping juice over ~20% PG and then no symptoms after switching to all VG. Some also described this symptom when nicotine was too high. You should narrow it down and eliminate the cause.

You could buy a small sample of 0mg all-VG juice to either include/exclude PG as the suspect. If vaping this sample eliminates symptom, then mix it at 40% to 60% of your current juice. If you then have no symptoms vaping the 40/60, then most likely your nic level is too high. If the heaviness returns, then PG is the most likely culprit. And exercise due caution! Good luck.

You can always filter your already filtered water with a coffee filter. Many filtered waters have minerals added back into them for taste. I would try to filter those minerals back out again as best as possible.

Been adding one drop for every 3ml for a couple of years now - works like a charm for better wicking - almost never get a burnt taste anymore

No this is a very common practice in DYI.
