Is THIS the stuff?! Unadulterated VG?

[No burn baby]

I'm sure it is but before I accidentally kill myself I just wanted to double check. THIS is VG right?

It reads: Glycerin B.P (Glycerol)
On the back: Active Ingredient: each 5 ml of liquid contains Glyerol 100% v/v.

I can put this in my pipe and smoke it right?!

Looks OK to me, it's this stuff I use and it's BP grade, worked fine for me but legal disclaimer I'm not a chemist so I can't give guarantees!!

Hasn't done me any harm

It sounds ok to me too No Burn. Where did you get it from and what did it cost?

 

[No burn baby]

I got it from Boots and it cost....damn, I can't see my receipt in the bag, I've misplaced it.

 

[No burn baby]

Wah its GLOOPY!! Any tips on what I can dilute this with? Alcohol? If so what sort? Or distilled water?

 

[Kate]

Lol

I use distilled water, somebody mentioned vodka a while back.

Thank you Kate, where does one get distilled water from? Do you think you could kindly post a new thread giving a break down of percentages in your recipes?

 

[Kate]

I got some distilled water from ebay.

Here is my current recipe:

THANK YOU Kate, you are a saint! Can I ask you a silly question? How do you go about working out the percentages when mixing? Do you use a measured vial of some sort?

 

[Kate]

No problem.

I just guess the measurements, they are just a general guide. I mix in a 10ml bottle so everything translates nicely from % to ml ... 30% glycerine would be 3ml, etc. If you wanted to be precise you could use something like a syringe. Mix small amounts to start, there's nothing worse than having a big bottle of something you don't like. I just had to throw about 5ml of diy mix away because I couldn't face any more of the lime flavour I had in it and it wouldn't dilute away

99p in my local Boots

99p in my local Boots

Ah yes, that's spot on. I remember now asking my friend whether I should go for one or two bottles and her shrugging and replying "2, its 99p, may as well."

 

[Kate]

Thanks Pete, that sounds like a good deal.

When I'm mixing - I use calibrated (think thats the word) medicine droppers. (The ones with the lines/measurements) I use several of them per batch so I dont mix/contaminate the original liquids/flavors/glycerin.

You can use a syringe to measure liquids, it's easy and fast
They are really cheap, so you can even use them to store your liquids, and later refill carts using the niddle (be careful so you don't pinch yourself )

I vape a lot, so I use no-nicotine liquid made by myself most of the day.
Simply using VG 60%-70%, and the rest with vodka and distilled water, nothing else. It works great, lots of vapor, and a "neutral flavor". The best is that I know there isn't any strange thing in the liquid (flavors may have something we don't know...).

When I need nic, I use a cart filled with commercial liquid, and back again to my no-nic liquid

No Burn, if you are desperate to buy distilled water, try a 24 hour petrol station

I buy my distilled water in a pharmacy... I think it's safer, and they usually have it in stock (if they don't, they can supply it in 24 hours ).

You are so right, I forget, due to living in a village in Cornwall that most people have access to shops 24/7

 

[No burn baby]

Thank you all! I'm waiting for my Ebay orders now: syringes, distilled water, vials etc.!

How much vodka do you use in your mix?
