Easy way to up VG ratio?

[KurtVD]

I don’t make my juices myself, but I’ve bought two 60 ml of 50/50 VG/PG juices that I really like, but I had forgotten that I’m a little bit allergic (or sensitive) to PG. I immediately started to feel it again, so I wonder if there is way to get something to mix it with, to up its VG ratio? I guess I wouldn’t mind loosing some of its flavor, because as it is now, I’m not enjoying it.

Pop into the local Boots and pick up some VG

Thanks! I hope I can get that here in Switzerland too.

Most any pharmacy should have VG.
CAS 56-81-5 , Grade: 99.8% or higher -PH,EP,Usp
Tell the chemist it is for your skin.

Why don't you just buy the Same Flavor e-liquid in the Same mg/ml as what you have, but in 100% VG? Then Mix what you Have with what you Bought.

No Loss of Flavor.
No Decrease in mg/ml.

One of these is homemade from a local shop, only available in this one ratio, but the other one is from a larger brand, I will check.

And I’ll add my location

If it's Homemade by a Local Shop, you might ask them if they could make you a Batch that has No Added PG.

If you want to keep the same nic level and are OK with less flavor, getting unflavored VG at the same nic level will allow you to change the VG/PG ration as you wish.

Yep, unflavored same level nic in VG is going to be your best choice, probably. Depending on how much you want to up your level, well yes you may have slight flavor loss but depending on how strong it is, you may be okay.

If made locally they may be willing to sell you a flavor shot, which means you could add more flavor too. Not sure if it's worth it depending on how much juice you have.

Alternately, you could just take ALL the juice to the store and ask them to make it higher VG. If they're mixologists, they can probably do that for you for less than starting over with a whole flavor.

Best of luck,

About the one that's homemade at a local shop...maybe a short, honest, conversation with the shop owner would have good results, for both of you. Most shop owners want people to be repeat customers.

I'd start off with a compliment...by telling him/her that you liked their eliquid and that you're interested in possibly regularly buying it. Then explain about your PG sensitivity, and that the 50/50 ratio is bothersome when you vape it. Ask if it's possible to have what you buy made at maybe a 70VG/30PG ratio (or at whatever ratio you know doesn't cause you problems). Maybe you could even say you'd call them a day or so before you wanted to buy it, so they can have it ready ahead of time. (Some shops here don't do custom eliquids simply because they don't always have the time nor enough employees each day, to custom make eliquids while also waiting on customers.) He/she just might be agreeable to do it, if it means they'd have a happy, repeat customer.

Just a little info for you here - It doesn't take any longer to make eliquid at 1 ratio or any other, nor is it any more difficult for the maker to do it. There's no real cost difference for the ingredients to do it, either. IMO, they may just have all 50/50 eliquids because of what I mentioned above, about time and manpower.
