In the lotion section of Wal Mart you will find USP Glycerin. It's a bit thick, but it will vape and make pulmes of vapor. You may want to take a small portion(10ml or so) and add a few drops of water to reduce it's viscosity.

Ah, no wal mart in london. You should have a vape store somewhere in a city that size where you can buy real juice.

Anyone know of one? My knowledge of London consists of an airport layover 25 years ago.

E-liquid without nicotine or flavoring is just PG and VG. You can buy VG at any grocery store. I'm not sure where you can buy PG in person quickly to have it ready by tomorrow.

I'm sure someone who knows more will come along with more info.

You can always search UK Forum to see if you can find a local B & M that might have some or that might be willing to mix you up a batch real quick.

Or, if all else fails, just use straight VG. I think you might need to mix just a few drops of water into it to make it thin enough though. I've never tried straight VG myself.

Sorry I'm not more help. I mainly just wanted to take the opportunity to say:

Welcome to ECF, beefman!

(Wow, 2 people have posted in the few minutes since I started this!)

You should be able to find vg at any store with a skin care or first aid section. As far as PG, I would try a farm supply store

The best E-liquid is made up of only: Propylene Glycol (PG) and/or Vegetable Glycerin (VG) liquids; nicotine; flavoring; and possibly distilled water to thin high VG mixtures. So, to make non-flavored, no nic, ejuice - just use pharmaceutical grade PG and/or VG.

It is important to ensure the liquids are high quality to avoid contaminants that are acceptable in topical usage or even in food, but are not so good for vaping. In the US I would verify that the liquids had a USP rating to ensure that they are a high quality/low contaminant product. There lots of ECF members who make their own juices on a reqular basis.

 

[beefman]

so i just buy Propylene Glycol and add some drops of water and that will vape?
where would the best place to buy it?

 

[rse1]

Actually, PG is thin enough you don't need to add water.

Lots of web sites sell eliquid components - see the ECF recommended suppliers.

I suspect your local chemist would carry this or could custom order for you.

You might want to look at the ECF UK forum and talk to some members near you for advice.

I just did a google search for vaping stores in London. There are several.

You probably want mostly VG (vegetable glycerin) and only a little bit of PG (propylene glycol) if you're wanting to show vaping to your friends. Straight PG will hardly give you any vapor..

I've mixed VG with a bit a distilled water (10 parts VG to 1 part water) and come up with something that has little taste, but produces enough vapor to 'show off'. VG should be available at a pharmacy. I find it in the 'first aid' section. That's probably the easiest to procure on short notice.

Yes , your local drugstore/chemist should have VG aka vegetable glycerine aka glycerine aka glycerol in stock. It is used often as a skin moisturizer/protectant and as an additive in making homemade creams and lotions. VG produces prodigious amounts of very thick vapor , this would definitely be preferable to PG ( propylene glycol ) for "showing off" as 100% PG as stated above does produce vapor,just not a whole lot.

 

[gimmieshelter31]

I just finished doing some research for you beefman, and I found that Boots drugstore carries glycerol. Here is a link Boots Value Health Glycerin B.P - 200ml - Boots. It is not USP as you are in England ,it is rated by the British Pharmacopoeia and used to soothe sore throats and for dry skin.It says in the description to be 100% glycerol but do read and maybe check with chemist if unsure that it has no other ingredients.

I've tried many base liquids and the best so far comes from liberty uk.

You don't need to add that much H20 to VG for a good no-nicotine, unflavored e-liquid. This liquid is thick but will work with cartos and makes a lot of vapor. You need a graduated cylinder and a dropper to measure the ingredients.

6 ml of Glycerin USP (VG) plus seven drops of distilled water. Shake it up in a dropper bottle. Place the dropper bottle in a warm water bath for 15 minutes. Remove the bottle from the bath and give it another good shaking. The juice is ready for use. The air bubbles will disappear after a few days.
