lol, hey now... let's not be cruel to the new guys.

Can we vape WATER ?

Very small amounts of H2O added to 80-100% VG mixes is ok to thin it out a bit, but that's about the extent of it's justifiable services!!!
NOPE - that's the answer.
On using it to thin out VG (see above) - yeah - it works okay - but atty's don't like water.
A better way to thin VG - put a closed VG bottle into a cup of very hot water - hold it under for 20 minutes. Shake.
Repeat until your VG is the consistency you want.
Once thinned - VG does not go back to thick.

Ahhh, what a great tip! I have some 100% VG coming and only use cartomizers so this should help considerably. Thank you! 
How does heating up VG permanently reduce it's viscosity? Or does some water manage to get inside using the "submerge technique?"
It's the heat that thins it. Not being a chemist - my assumption is that heat changes the cellular structure of the VG - thus it doesn't go back.
Similar to what happens with Jello - once jellied - it doesn't go back to liquid form.
Or it could be similar to what happens when water rests on limestone and a chemical reaction permanently changes the structure.
...chemists here anyone???
Commercial PG is about 10% water to start with. Then, we add enough water to equal another 10% of the juice quanitity we are making, plus flavors that contain water, so there's lots of water in the mix.
I've tried vaping while washing out an atty. At first, nothing. Then, when some of it evaporates, there comes a short period where it tastes like ........... on a stick. Satisfied my curiosity with one toke.

Ahahahahaa ... Encee you slay Meeeee!
I think this is a really good idea though ... we need to be easy on our boy Hungrem, he means well!
vaping water would fix that 'need to drink extra water' issue that vaping seems to cause some people

phenomena anyone?
I agree Nikkita6, he just has a bad case of new vaper paranoia, as did I - 3.5 short months ago. (my symptoms weren't quite as severe however)
Wow, I can't believe I haven't heard this before! Thanks for the excellent tip! Is it possible to make it too thin this way?
Haven't got there yet! I've thinned one bottle with 5 very hot water soaks - it's still more viscous than PG - but much less than it was.
Kat do you see any danger of nuking it in the microwave? I get the same results only it takes 4-5 seconds

I wouldn`t trust the microwave.
There is no way of knowing that the plastic bottle doesn`t contain something that is not microwave safe.
For the VG - might be prudent to do a bit of research on VG and microwaves....
(or ask Hungrem - he has a thread for that!).
