Adding water to your juice?

[berube27]

Since these juices tend to be so good at giving you cottonmouth, would you be able to reduce this "symptom" by adding water to your juices? IDK, maybe 10% or sumthin?

and if you add water, do you risk damaging attys for some reason?

also, do you know which of the juice ingredients are actually responsible for the cottonmouth? maybe changing the pg/vg percentages would work instead?

Firstly apologies, Im a UK vaper, so no idea what Cottonmouth is. However, I can try and answer your questions according to my own mixing knowledge.

Water is the carrier to a lot of flavours, so a certain amount isnt going to do any harm, but it would need to be distilled, not from the tap, as I am sure you realise already.

VG is more likely to create a coating in the mouth, due to its thickness, this can be diluted with distilled water, or Vodka, both have the desired level of purity. But too much water will stop the whole process working.

Personally I would try reducing the viscosity of your juice by increasing the PG to VG ratio. 50/50 is a good starting point.

I am making the assumption that cottonmouth is the coating of the mouth you are experiencing, and all I can compare that too, are products like, Barley Water juices. Here in the UK we have a few of them that you dilute with water to drink, and they always leave a coating in the mouth.

if you use straight vg and distilled water vg 82%and 18% distilled water...

Its a good idea to drink more water when you are vaping anyway because both PG and VG have a drying effect (they attract water molecules, it is why they make visible vapour). I think PG is probably worse for having a drying effect, at least that's the impression I've got from using PG, VG and blended liquids.
