From all the research I have done - Glycerine BP ( ie pharmaceutical grade not cosmetic grade ) is safe to vape.
If you add 20% by volume either distilled or de-ionised water or indeed a weak mixture of vodka and water then you will have Aqueous Glycerine ( so long as you haven't put in vodka!) which you'll find pours more easily but can be vaped without causing popping or spitting.
You could vape this as is but I use this 50/50 with PG as a base and just about any tank will run it quite happily without dry hitting.
If you want to then add nicotine, flavourings or both this is the easy calculator I use.

I dilute my ejuice 70%VG 30%PG.
If you have Amazon Prime you can get USP grade or 99.5% pure VG for $39.95 a gallon. My last gallon was $24.95 on sale with free Prime shipping.
I usually get PG by the quart for $12.95-13.95 with free shipping.
I would never dilute VG with water. I use Kanthal. Kanthal us partly iron, and iron rusts. I certainly don't want to be vaping ferous oxide.
"Vapouround " Magazine ( trade based but available to the public via certain UK Vape Shops such as those in the "Vapourised" Franchise ) issue 03 Winter 2016, page 186 et seq, article "What's in your e-liquid?"
"If an e -liquid was made from 100% VG base it would be very thick and hard to vape effectively which is why most e liquids use a combination of both PG and VG as the base ingredients.
Sometimes a small amount of de-ionised water is added to VG base and in which case it is known as aqueous glycerine (AG)"

I don't recommend more than 10% distilled water in e-juice. If you want to dilute further, use PG.
Could try 5% DW in a small batch and see how it wicks. Can increase/decrease in 1-2% increments till satisfied.

This is one of the sources I consulted when researching DIY - as usual there is no "one size fits all" recipe...but we are all different.

Is there a vape shop near you? If there is it could be worth asking them if they stock it.
While I mainly buy mine online, I know the local vape shop, here in small town Hawick in the Scottish Borders, keeps PG, but not oddly enough VG - he charges a bit more but he's been helpful to me in the past and I buy the odd bottle to help keep him in business.
