Ejuice viscosity

[Ogroman]

Hi guys/gals,

I have ejuices from different vendors and the viscosity/thickness seem to be different is it normal?

All the juice are at 50/50 with 12mg nic.

i had 1 that was cloudy and thick. its my first time getting that. anyone had that to their juices before?

 

[Okay]

i had one that has magic....it comes clear, once i shake it to use, it becomes cloudy. it will go back to clear after many hours. sometimes it will just go cloudy itself without me touching it....

 

[Vinniz]

Cloudy? may contains triacetin

 

[Bunnyboy]

so is it safe to vape a cloudy juice? mines absinthe flavour

 

[Vinniz]

I'm still here. so should be ok. Absinthe? Dont use tank if possible.

 

[flonicator]

those with triacetin will crack poly carbonate surface, eg. clearomizers, tanks....
if u see that happening in a very chemically vigorous way, lol, better put aside....

to the OP, viscosity on the juices, i have a theory, its likely the different flavour content,
some flavours in PG, some flavours in VG, or both. so when they mix into ur PG VG ratio,
it affects the outcome...

If mixed at 50/50, e viscosity/thickness should remain constant. Afterall, it's e same amt of diluents. If you're talking abt 80VG or more, then, e viscosity would differ depending on vendors unique way of thinning down e liquids; some with distilled water and most with alky.

True what Vinniz said, cloudy juices could be caused by triacetin. Triacetin is safe and is a replacement for PG. Don't confuse it with e evil diacetyl.

And Triacetin, along with naturally-extracted flavours, might leave a slight ring-like residue in your bottle but is still safe to be consumed. Shake e btl for a bit, refill and vape away.

On edit:
Triacetin is a flavour carrier which is void of PG and carries flavour btr than VG.

As flonicator has mentioned that flavours that contains PG , just out of curiosity does HC flavours contain higher PG?

Coz i have the same flavour juice but from different vendors and different flavour brands,
HC and TPA all at 50/50 12mg as mentioned in my earlier post, but of different viscosity.TPA seems to be thicker.

As i am certain that i am "mildly" allergic to PG and for those juice higher then 50%PG i will have a sore throat after the first vape. The HC flavour does give me the sore throat.

Since i do not DIY my juice , is there any other way to ascertain the percentage of the PG/VG?
The only way i think of now is by judging visually based on the viscosity .

If you're talking abt flavourings, HC or anywhere, will have PG as e carrier. If you're talking abt HC juices, it's usually 70pg/30 or 80/20, I believe. Unless it's e VG-range.
