I picked some up since i was at cvs anyway today and want to know if it's ok to vape this stuff? I have some dekang(sp) pg and some ecopure and love the vapor and taste of the ecopure so figured a couple drops to the dekang may add some more vapor. I have it so might as well use it.

Another thing i noticed is this stuff is super thick. I notice the ecopure has deionized water so i guess that would be to thin the glycerin. Where do i get some deionized water locally?
Would boiling filtered water and collecting the steam in a cup be the same or better than bottled water and work?

Is there a down side to thick nicquid?

As long as it has "USP" on the label, it will be fine. Some people prefer Vegetable Glycerin for purity and flavor, but I use similar to what you have and I like it just fine.

Glycerin does have it's own flavor, it's light, but still there. So you might do a test batch before mixing with your entire bottle.

But yes, a few added drops of Glycerin will add more vapor.

Most people will use everclear, vodka, or distilled water to thin out liquid. Filtered water should work just fine.

The thicker the juice the harder it has to work to make it's way through the cart filling to the atomizer. Thinner and you can flood the cart easier. If you're just adding a few drops of glycerin to say 10ml, it won't change the thickness enough to matter unless your hardware is really picky.

What you got is fine, I just picked up a bottle of it myself from CVS.

I mixed up a batch of 0 nic e-juice with it and its vaping great in my 510.

I did thin the VG with water. 7ml VG 3ML water + 3ML of Lorans flavorings.
Its vaping pretty awesome at that ratio but it did seem a little thin. Its not leaking out of my 510 cart with stock filler though.

^ seems like an awful lot of Loranns...does it taste good?

It tastes great, its a very mild flavor IMO, but I did just quit smoking cigs a week ago so maybe it just takes alot of flavoring to taste it.

That 3ml was actually 1.5ml of Apple and 1.5ml of Cinnamon Roll. It made for a really nice smooth flavor and great aftertaste.
