I would like to try all VG mix. Did it before with water, it was not bad at all.
I am thinking that alcohol will reduce viscosity of VG much better than water. So I hope I will need really small amounts of it (I have some USP grade alcohol). Have somebody tried it? I am looking for advice before turning myself into a guinea pig.

If you don't mind the taste of alcohol in your vape I don't see an issue with it. I myself use some flavorings made with alcohol and never air them because I don't even taste the alcohol. Some do have an issue with the taste though but as far as I can see it's perfectly safe.

As Danny reminds me, I should have pointed out the taste from the vodka.

For me there is a very slight alcohol, as opposed to vodka, taste when I first mix it all up.
This taste is generally undetectable by me tasterbuds after the 1st day or 2.

Again this is to my tastes, when I use this as a base for flavors, usually mints, menthols, that slight alcohol taste is not noticeable at all.

Bear in mind that I have the worlds worst educated tongue (-:

Perhaps you already know this, but USP alcohol could be isopropyl or denatured alcohol, which contains toxins that are deliberately added to make it undrinkable, and probably not a good choice for vaping.
