I am trying to find PG free juice but in my country, it is hard to find without a name or brand, can anyone please suggest to me PG free 3 or 6 mg juice?

What country are you located in?

So you are looking for retail juice and are not trying to make your own juices?

If looking for retail juices look around for Kai's Virgin Vapor juices.

Here is their website:


Their juices use all organic ingredients and are VG based.

My wife loved their Romancing the Strawberry, Hawaiian White Guava and Perfect Peach.

Actually, I never thought we can make our own juice, lol. when OnTheFidele said about mixing I thought I will mix after buying.

Now I am wondering if I buy vegetable glycerin and mix it with my 25mg juice + some water I think that will reduce the PG percentage and also reduce the nic percentage.

For example, my current juice has 25Mg, VG 70 - PG 30, now If I take 40ML VG + 8ML water + 2ML juice = 50ML

I don't know how these work so I just estimated. Do you think it will really reduce nic and PG?

BTW do we need a food grade vegetable glycerin or those Skin Care/Pharmaceutical vegetable glycerin will work?

    That's a lot of water and would probably thin the mix out too much. I'd start with a few drops to maybe 1 ml, and add more as needed. It's a lot easier to add the water than to take it away.

    I asked chatgpt for this and the result is,

    Certainly, for a 10 ml mix, here are the proportions you would need:

    • 2.4 ml of original e-liquid (This will provide you with 6 mg/ml nicotine, and contribute 1.68 ml of VG and 0.72 ml of PG)
    • 6.82 ml of pure VG (This brings your total VG content up to 85% of the mix)
    • 0.78 ml of distilled water (This makes up the remainder of the mix)
    Please keep in mind that the total PG content in this mix will be higher than the 2.5% you initially wanted due to the PG in your original e-liquid. Achieving a PG content of 2.5% while maintaining a nicotine strength of 6 mg/ml using your original e-liquid is not possible due to its high PG content.

    As a result, the actual percentages for this 10 ml mix will be approximately:

    • 84% VG
    • 7.2% PG
    • 7.8% Water
    • 6 mg/ml nicotine
    lol

    Thanks, I will test it today.

    I don't think there's that many max VG juices available like there used to be. Making your own is as easy or difficult as you want to make it. When I mix,the only PG is in the small amount of nicotine and the flavorings I use. I don't even measure VG at this point, I just add till the bottle is full and then shake rattle and roll. Easy peasy. Something you may want to look into.

    I am a new vape user (smoked 18-20 years, 5-7 bensons per day). 5 days ago I bought an EIR Pod and used 25MG VGOD Mango Bomb.
    Now I am facing some problems such as feeling tired after taking 2-3 puffs. Throat, and body itches after 10-15 minutes of taking puffs. Everything becomes normal again If I do not take any puff within 30 minutes to 1 hour. Can someone please give me some advice on what to do?
    Like usual I'm going on another direction...

    I'd drop by your local drug store and ask if they have any PG and/or VG in stock. If not Amazon sells both.

    Why?

    In my house the other 1/2 is allergic to PG!

    As you might imagine the PG in my vaping juice was causing her all sorts of issues so I switched juice makeup to be %100 VG based. Since then we've had no issues.

    You might ask how we discovered this?

    After her complaining about it I took one DROP of pure PG and one drop pure VG and placed them on the back of her hands. (PG on left, VG on right)

    Sadly within SECONDS she was screaming "get it off me!!" about her left hand. We soaked it under running water for a few minutes but it still left a red area afterwards. (it took a few hours to a day to go away)

    light bulb moment - "I guess that is why I can't use some skin care products"

    That is right, PG and VG are regularly used in many off the shelf products.
