DIY Help - Reducing Max VG e-liquid

[Lacit1707]

Hello,

I've never made my own liquids or anything before bu have a question for those that have. I assume this will work but let me know if this will not work.

So, i have a Kanger Sub tank Mini on an ileaf 30w box but when i vape max VG liquids or even 80%VG, i get a burn taste as the atomozier is not wicking it very well.

So, i am thinking that if i take 30 ML of a max VG liquid i bought which isnt vaping well, (lets imagine this is 100% VG) and add 7.5ML of pure PG, i will essentially have a 75% VG / 25% PG end liquid?

So, am i going about this correctly? Also, will simply adding in a pure PG blend together to make it able to vape in my set up?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

@Lacit1707 - Your mix will yield an 80% VG result. If you want 75% VG, you'll be adding 10mL of PG to your 30mL of 100%VG liquid. Either way, you should get a mixture which will wick better in your ST Mini.

You could also try adding a few drops of distilled water to thin your liquid, and then a few more as needed until it works well. VG will eat the water right up, and you might get to a low enough viscosity without as much impact on flavor.

appreciate the help!

Ive actually been doing a bit of reading since i posted this and am reading that distilled water will work perfectly fine too. im hearing that adding 10% water should do the trick. So, im thinking i will try 10ml of my e-liquid now which i believe is 100% VG and add 1ml of water.

I've been using the same hardware (STM/iStick30) for 6 months now. The RBA works better than the disposable coils, but a dash of distilled water is going to solve your problem. I DIY at 90%+ VG, and then add maybe 5% DW. No issues.
