How to mix VG & juice vid

[ritalee76]

It depends on the actual flavor as to how much I use... Some of them are really strong while some are not so much and you can barely taste it unless you add more...

The flavorings are PG-based so it adds to the vapor as well..

Hope that helps!

Thanks Rita, you made me realize I have been throwing away something very useful. Any of you ladies who are on the Wiley Protocol, the syringes we use for our P &E can be used to mix these things with, they are almost identical! anyway, I just bought 10 bottles of 36 mg. unflavored nic juice from Johnson Creek. Obviously I need to add flavor. This is my first post in DIY lquid, so if anybody seees this and knows a good place to point me for mixes with no flavor to start with, that would be great. I may stumble across some as I read. Thanks.

Please Help.. Brand New User in need of Help, Advice and Expertise.

please feel free to post to the forum or to me privately as to not tie up the forum. thanks in advance to everyone.

dear smokey jo & anyone else reading this post.

i am brand new to the forum and i just placed my first order for a strater kit and a fairly large order for 36 mg e-liquid bottles from eastmall. my order should be arriving later this week.

this is also my first time writing to the forum. i'm not exactly sure of the best way to use the forum, and i couldn't find a thread that addresses us 'newcomers'. so i'll start the best way i can. here are my questions and/or requests.

1. i read here that some users dilute their e-liquid with glycerin. do you know which is the correct glycerin product used for dilution. i have seen laxative type glycerin in suppository form (i'm sure that's not it), and i found 4 oz bottle labeled as "glycerin - USP Emollient - For external use only", which seems to be for dry skin. it has a warning that it should not be ingested, so i assume this is also not correct. and is what i read even a wise thing to do?

i have read some of the other threads titles that i'm sure will help in other ways, which i will start educating myself promptly. is there anywhere on the forum that is specifically geared toward the brand new user? is there a booklet or starters advice document that can be printed. I guess i just want to hit the ground running as soon as everthing arrives so i don't have to suck on these poison sticks a minute longer than necessary, while i have to get up to speed.

i'm not even sure which button i click to get this message out there. 'quick reply' or 'go advanced'. oh well here goes.

thanks for your time. spritesdebt

hi. why do some people cut with alcohol instead of water? and what kind of alcohol do they use?

 

[kthomas]

also new and want to know the difference between PG (what does that stand for) and VG (i know that one...veg)

 

[JustDucky]

The PG is propylene glycol which is a common ingredient of almost all e-liquids.

 

[TheWrathOfSanity]

So I'm curious.
Has anyone cut with half PG and half VG?
So instead of a 50/50 mix it would be a 50/25/25 mix.
No real reason in asking, just curious.

 

[iceman1110]

I just have a quick question for anyone who may know. This video was very helpful by the way. My question is, if I am going for a no nicotine liquid, can I just add PG or VG and the flavoring and vape that? Is the commercial e-liquid with nicotine playing any part of this besides providing the nicotine and a bit of tobacco flavor?

 

[bmamo]

very good question iceman1110! i was actually gonna ask that myself! also does the water need to be distilled?

Always Use Distilled Water, Never Tap or Other Water.

Has anyone cut with half PG and half VG?

Yes, that's how I make my base. 50% 36mg unflavored juice, 25% PG, and 25% VG. That leaves me with a batch of 18mg unflavored, to which I add my flavorings. Works great.

I am going for a no nicotine liquid, can I just add PG or VG and the flavoring and vape that?

Absolutely! If you don't want the nicotine, then you don't need the e-juice at all: it's basically just nicotine and PG. It's just there to feed the addiction, is all. You will want to use a much lower percentage of VG than you would if you were mixing it with e-juice, however: glycerine is extremely viscous, much thicker than PG.

And yes, the water does need to be distilled. Using tap water is just begging for a whole lot of nasty bacteria to grow in your juice.

So if i dont want nicotine i can just mix up vg (or pg, or both), flavourings, and distilled water and i'm ready to go? Is alcohol ever used? cause i saw it in the sheet that gives info on how to cut eliquid.

 

[Venatrix Avia]

Some people like to use alcohol (Everclear, not rubbing alcohol!) instead of distilled water to thin out the glycerine. I don't really know what the difference is, since I don't use either one. The water and/or alcohol is really just to thin out the VG, which is much too thick and gloppy to use on its own. If you make a mix heavier on the PG than the VG, though, then you don't need to thin it out any further.

If you made a mixture of about 75% PG to 25% VG, then that would be fine on its own - you wouldn't need to add anything else to it to get a good consistency. Just add some flavoring to it, and you'll be ready to vape.

 

[Flamurface]

what's pg and vg?

 

[squirelsnut]

anyone know where i can buy the little plastic bottles at or a glass dropper at a decent price, such as any chain stores.

What about if you don't want to use the wicked liquid due to wanting to go with 0% nicotine (I know they have it, but I got my flavors ordered already from LorAnn), so what makes up for the lack of the percentage of the wicked liquid?

Thanks for the great vid by the way!
