3- distilled water ( sterilized distilled water for preparation of i.v. solutions ) sterile & non-pyrogenic ( from fharmcy )

i put 20 ml glycerine with 5ml distilled water with maybe 0.5 ml flavour
distilled wate 25% flavour 1% or 2%

and i think i must be wait for 2 week but i start vape after 1 hour and its good but i feel something look like very small cough
and i think e-liquid now always leak to my battery

About 10% water sounds reasonable, to thin the glycerin.

How much flavoring varies a lot. There are some very concentrated flavors where you use only 1 - 2%, while others may easily go to 15%. It depends on the manufacturer of the flavoring.

For s single flavor mixture you can normally vape it right away, after shaking the bottle to mix it. It is the more complex eliquids, with multiple flavorings, that tend to need to sit for a few days (steep).

I think that sounds right. Some people say to wait awhile for the juice to taste better but I usually vape my juice right after I make it.

maybe the one no have nicotine no need time to wait

What tpe of flavorings are you using . I noticed you said man in cake store .

pls see the pic. and tell me its right or not

It also sounds like a large batch he is making at one time.

yes

its cheaper in my country

becuse that i ask

i see that cheaper then i think something worng in that item

that factory say about gleycren ( usp pure 99.5% and ... ) but theres no any garanty for that

they write that in him information in him system computer but no write that in glycren galon

i will do with 10% water but if i try to use flavour to high no any proplem for my health

its only taste no proplem for health

Thanks markfm. I have only made single flavors so far. I guess thats why mine have been OK to vape right away


importunt for me to know that item i buy its ok or not

you can see the pic. and see information in pic. and tell me its ok or somethin worng

It looks okay, just simple flavoring in PG. No added coloring or other ingredients.

If it tastes okay to you, that is what matters. I only mentioned that some flavors are used at higher % because they are not strong. I am comfortable using up to 20% natural (organic) flavorings, if necessary, in the eliquids that I make. If the flavoring that you have is good enough to use at low %, that is fine, nothing wrong with it.

i start now with 3% flavour and i will go up 5% 7% 10% every days or every week until i see what the good for me

but i want know if i like very strong it not more proplem for me to use more flavour

no risk to use more flavour

My juices are primarily VG. Cartos/tanks like a little thinner juice compared to normal attys, and I am using only tanks or cartos, rarely attys. My rule is %flavor + %water = 20-22%. So if I make a 10% flavor juice, it will have 12% water. The rest is nic and VG. I often vape unflavored juice too, and if the base is unthinned VG-nic, I will add 20% water to my juice.

Are you using water just because your using all VG or just to help fill the cartos? Just curious for the need for water in a mix?

I use 50/50 vg/pg, which is more like 10/40/50 dw/vg/pg. If I add less water, I often get dry hits on my ego-T when chainvaping.

I use 50% pg, because it greatly enhances the flavor, with 100% vg it is quite dull, and you will need a lot more flavoring to get the right taste.

So I'd say go for the pg and distilled water (dw) and vg. You can try out in small batches what you prefer, and what works best for your device.
