Almost no one vapes 100% VG - it's diluted with H2O or PGA on a 80:20 ratio (thinner that some PGs, btw) and that will not harm your atomizers at all. Sugar and oil will, but not VG.

so if i take some glycerine with some h2o and mix it with the clove, I should be good? will test it out in small ratios first of course

I do find it intriguing that Now does does not state on their site that their product (which I believe is not made in the US) has any USP classification and they also use the non standard Glycerine spelling, which is also inconsistent with the USP's monograph.

"NOW® Vegetable Glycerine is a USP and food grade, all natural product derived from vegetable oil."


Looks like the labs and facilities are in Bloomingdale, Illionois although it doesen't state specifically that is where the glycerine is made.

Should be good, yes. You will lose some nic level and flavor level too. You could supplement both with either some higher level ejuice in the same flavor or add unflavored nic and some clove flavoring.
