glycerine home brew

[igetcha]

hi all,

i read on a previous post that it was possible to buy a bottle of glycerine and some almond flavouring from Tesco's to make a simple no nicotine e liquid. i rushed out to Tesco's and found a small bottle of glycerine in the baking section. i mixed it with a tiny drop of vodka as it was very thick and sticky and then added a little of the flavouring.

i tried filling up an empty cart as well as dripping a couple of drops onto the atomiser but neither way produced any significant vapour at all. i could taste the flavouring but was dissapointed with the ever so slight vapour.

did i do something wrong or was that all that i should have expected?

also, isnt it meant to be that propal glycol (spelt wrong im sure) rather than glycerine?

Hiya. I'm not sure why you're not getting good vapour with glycerine, it's usually said to be better than propylene glycol for that.

If you diluted it too much or it's too thick to wick into the atomiser that might make a difference. Try thicker or thinner.

The glycerine tends to mute flavours so you might want to consider using extra flavouring to dilute or more alcohol.

Propylene glycol can be used but either works.
