Lab Equipment: Must Have's and Gimicks

[YorkMan]

Good thread, I’m ready to jump in. Have PG and VG, need flavor, nicotine and some lab equipment. Have lots of little syringes since I rescued a beautiful little almost dead kitty who turned out to be diabetic! I’ll make mini batches to start.

Just ordered graduated cylinders! Next up nicotine.

I've noticed not all VG is the same. Some of it is thick as treacle and some not so much.

Must be different somehow, most likely how much water is in it. Other then that, temperature also changes viscosity.

Yep. Totally pure, anhydrous VG is ridiculously viscous and has a melting point of 64.0°F. But even a tiny bit of water (like tenths of a percent) decrease both quite a bit, and it's hygroscopic, meaning it will absorb some water from the air.

Idk if you can even get VG with less then 0,1% water in it. Never saw it. Even ultra expensive "water free" VG for chem labs is at very best 99,9% with the rest mostly water.
