DIY Noob

OK, I've searched but can't find a specific how-to for making 0Nic juice with supplies found locally at WalMart and/or Craft shop like Michaels.

I can find some VG at walmart, and probably flavors at Michaels.
I understand to stay away from oil based or non water soluble flavors.

This is the specific part I can't find an answer for.
What kind of percentage mix do I use?
How many drops VG per 1 drop flavor?

Also, since VG is much thicker than PG, can I mix in a little water (or something else besides PG) to thin it out?

Thanks.

1- Depends on your tastes. For Loranns, start at 10% and work up. I've had Lorann's mixes that had to go up to 30% to get flavor.

2- See #1 as that is the same question again.

3- PGA, aka: Everclear, or distilled water thins to your preference. Start at 10% for H2O and start lower for PGA, like around 5%. Add more thinner to get the viscosity you like.

Thanks Hoosier, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Just trying to get my feet wet and trying it out.
I know it's not an EXACT science, just looking for ballpark measurements.
Your advice helps alot.

Definately wouldn't even think about getting the pure Nic to put in. Way too dangerous for me.
I'm thinking if I can do without the nicotine, this will work.

Especially thanks for the "Distilled" water bit, that helps. I probably would have ended up just using tap water....probably not good right?

If you like lime scale in your atty, it wouldn't be that bad, but I try to avoid it whenever possible.
