I haven't directly seen this addressed anywhere... Are PG and VG liquids compatible? Meaning, if I order PG liquid, and it is too strong, can I dilute it with VG? Or do the 2 not mix well? I'm assuming since they are both safe, that there wouldn't be any funky toxins produced by mixing them, but do they actually mix, or would it be like trying to mix oil and water?

I do know where to buy VG, but I haven't the foggiest where I could get PG.

Yes, they mix fine. VG is thicker and produces more vapor, but doesn't wick quite as well. PG is thinner and wicks extremely well. The combination of the two is more of trial and error and personal taste.

Too strong? As in throat hit strong? Neither PG nor VG provide a throat hit all by their lonesome selves. They simply create the vapor.

You can buy PG here -- a pint at a time if you don't want to shell out for a gallon...
