Is there anything I can add to my liquid to increase the amount of vapor without losing too much of flavor/nicotine content? maybe some Glycerine? how much would i use?

I cut mine 50 / 50 with glycerin. If you cut it, you cut the flavor and the nicotine content too. The glycerin is a bit sweet tasting. But cutting it 50% gives you only 50% of the nicotine. But you get loads of vapor.

If you want medium nicotine, but the high nic, and cut it.

I get mine at CVS Pharmacy. 95.5% pure USP Grade. In the cosmetic section.

and the reason for using VG instead of PG would be what?

Some people are allergic to propylene glycol and while both that and vegetable glycerin are considered relatively harmless, VG is supposedly a bit safer of the two. VG is much thicker so I tend to cut it a bit with some vodka/water/PG. VG does seem to put out more vapor so adding a bit would help assuming you're okay with a lower concentration of nicotine.

well as ive been vaping constantly for 3 weeks, i dont think im allergic to PG, i just think maybe if i add a little bit of glycerine to my liquid i can get more vapor, i dont want to lose too much nicotine.. like i dont want to cut it in half, that'd be bad.... i have a hard time finding liquid above 18, i wouldnt want to half-cut that

Juicy liquid has 36mg VG that is unflavored. More vapor? Less taste but you would be boosting the nic.

If you do not want to cut the liquid, you can try just putting a drop of Glycerin on the atomizer. I do this from time to time and it works great at producing tons of vapor. I would not go overboard because the glycerin is thick and could clog the atomizer...

Even if you drop it on the atomizer, you're still cutting it technically.

What flavor(s) are you currently vaping?

You can buy flavorings separate, and then add them to your e-juice.

I'm a *HUGE* fan of menthol. So I bought me some Menthol Crystals. I take my menthol e-juice, and mix it 50% juice, 40% PG or VG glycerin, and 10% distilled water ( VG glycerin is really thick ). Then, I add some menthol crystals, and put the mixture into the microwave for about 5 seconds, or hold the mixture under hot tap water for a min. or two until the crystals dissolve.

My current mixture is 12mg of nicotine, which is fine for me, since I tend to vape CONSTANTLY, and very heavily. But I get to keep my menthol flavoring due to the crystals.

So if you can find just plain flavoring, you can add that to your mixture and keep the full flavor ( or make it stronger ). And the nic. content isn't really that big of a deal. Just vape more if your nic content is lower. It's what I do. :D

I'm a hard core Vanilla guy. I'm thinking I would like to try some cherry, and maybe mix a little. (Cherry - Vanilla sounds good.)

I use the heavy nic., and cut it. Works good for me.
