Hi I'm pretty new to vaping, and I decided to try and make my own eliquid. I don't want to use any PG or nicotine, all I want are lots of vapor. I made a juice that was 80% VG and 20% water, a combo I saw a few people use online. When I put it into my ecig and tried it out I got basically no vapor. When I use the liquid I bought at the store, it works fine so I don't think the problem is my vaporizer. Can anyone help?

Hello and welcome to the forum djv4. Glad to have you here!
You cannot use 20% water and expect to get any vapor. Why not just use 100% VG. When you add flavoring you will most likely be using some PG as most flavoring contains PG. You can use a few drop of distilled water (per mls of juice) if you have problems wicking 100% VG.
