Can someone shed some light on distilled vs demineralized vs deionized water in VG / diy liquid?

[letmein]

I am thorogly confused

For example this thread Vape Distilled NOT De-ionised water says NOT to use de-ionised water, other threads say the opposite.

The reason why I am asking is that health is of the outmost importance, as the one I'm helping with e-liquid has been sick with cancer before.

So, which one of the three is the best to use?

I'm not sure about the differences but distilled should be pure as long as nothing is added to it after the distillation, like some bottled water do.

Distilled water is free of minerals. One of its uses is in clothes irons to create the steam. The reason being is that it does not gunk up the works in the iron with the dried minerals that regular water contains.

Just do a google on distillation of water and it will explain it.

De-ionized water takes it on step beyond distillation by removing additional non-organic particles left over from the distillation process. It's very expensive.
