How much distilled water should I add to reduce 100%vg?

[Keita]

Hi, I just ordered a batch of 100%vg juice, but it is extremely thick so I want to reduce it.

This is for DIY so its unflavored, zero nicotine.

What percentage should I go with?

Maybe add your other components before you start thinning it. Depending on how much nic, how much flavor, and what's in the flavor, you may end up not needing to thin it.
You can always add water (or ethanol) to something- but it's much harder to take it out
You could warm the VG a bit to make it easier to work with until you know..
YMMV...

Best answer I've read all day.

I just wanted to know because I have my own flavoring and can add as much as I want.

The problem is sucking the 100%VG in a blunt tipped needle, it requires ALOT of effort just to get 1ml out sucked up.

If I can reduce it (700ml worth) into something a little more manageable that would help out ALOT.

try 15% with the calculator on the diy sticky thread?

Pour some of it out into a small bottle, and heat that smaller bottle of VG for a few seconds in the microwave or for a while in a bowl of hot water. Hot VG is about as easy to work with as PG. You might also want to get some wider needles if you're using slim ones, a smaller gauge = a larger diameter opening.

Take the needle off the syringe before pulling the VG up. That's what I do and I have no problem with it. Then my flavoring thins it up suffiently to vape.

I always sit my VG in a sink of hot water a few minutes prior too mixing..I also use a large pipette too get it out....Seems too blend better when warm......

i really liked the tip to use a syringe instead of pipette for VG, but hadn't heard the one about warming it.

i've had good luck with using two syringes, one with a needle for flavors, and another without for the fluids.

5 ml syringes are narrow enough to stick down inside the bottles.

VG mixed with 10% water is sold as AG (Aqueous Glycerine) at Totally Wicked. Have a bottle standing here.

So if the other advice doesn't work it may be a good starting point?
