Does anyone know how much distilled water does it take to bring down the thickness of VG to equal PG? My VG is from Essential Depot.

I've used as much as 25% water, but that's just me, because thick ejuice suffocates me. Don't think I'd use any more than that.

Is that 25% of total volume or 25% of vg volume itself? In other words how much distilled water would you use in 10 ml if it contains 1ml of pg flavorings and the remaining 9 ml is combination of VG and DW?
If you mean 25% of total volume, then DW=2.5 and VG=6.5
But if you mean 25% of vg volume itself, then DW=1.8 and VG=7.2
Also does the DW improve the taste?
Hmm... I think I used 25% of the VG volume -- I was using an ejuice that's 95% VG to add to my Virginia. So I just used 3 parts of that juice to 1 part water.
It doesn't improve the taste, but neither does it seriously degrade it; it just makes it a bit lighter, likewise the vapor -- a bit thinner.

I'd also make sure that the juice you're using the water in is for short term use. I quit using water in mixes because the juice will turn black over the course of 3-6 months with mixes with water mixed in while the same mix will still have a normal appearance without water in it.
i have found if you add too much dw it will lower your vapor and lower your flavor just a bit , for me too much vg gives me what they call a heavy chest or the symptoms of copd , but i love 70/30 or 60/40 juice so i add 10% dw which comes off on the vg so 10/50/40 but when you look at the actual ml % is 10/40.5/28.5
Good point, since water is partially composed of oxygen, it would make sense that it would contribute to oxidation. I only add water to my actual tank, or to very small (15ml or less) "batches" of something.
