I'll give that a try, I have some already mixed up PG tobacco flavors.

Please let me know what you find out. Does anyone think I should throw these out?! I have vaped them and while I don't particularly care for the flavors ( especially the perfumey amaretto ) I didn't think anything was wrong with them. FYI - They did start producing better vapor after I added the VG.

Ok, initial result.

I added one drop of VG from a small pipette to a 15 ml carrier of pure PG Tobacco flavored e-liquid. The PG was at room temp while the VG was at approximately 50 degrees (from my fridge). At initial entry and a soft shake I have suspended bubbles but no clouding. At five minutes I have no bubbles and no clouding however the new mixture does tend to stick to the side of the glass container like I find most PG/VG mixes do.

I got some juices from TV that had real intense throat hit but no vapor on exhale, several people said it was because the juices were PG. I added some 12mg VG that I use in my DIY juices and it got very cloudy! Are you saying I should throw that out?!:unsure:


See, this is difficult. I have mixed with VG and have never had it turn cloudy. But, maybe when it mixes with that particular flavoring you might get cloudy. I'm not a scientist so I can't even begin to understand the chemistry makeup of what we vape and how it mixes and blends.

Ok, having said that, if the liquid was not cloudy when you got it and the VG was the only thing you added and it became cloudy, if it was me, I would vape that. What happened to me was using something extra that I personally did not mix and it was in a black bottle so I couldn't tell you if it was cloudy to begin with. I guess I need to dig it out now to see. Not knowing exactly what was in the stuff I added, since I wasn't the one that did it, I chose to play it safe and toss it. Did all of that make any sense,lol

Clove and cinnamon are generally oils but the original liquid did not seem to have that kinda oily viscosity. ( does that make sense? ) So maybe they used an artificial flavor and that got cloudy in the VG?:unsure: Like I said I vaped this after I added VG and it seemed fine but maybe I should just chuck it. I hate to throw out that much juice though.:D

I know exactly what you mean. It killed me to have to toss what I did. I would think that oils would be harder to mix with the thickness of VG and maybe that caused the cloudiness? Any of the great brains we have on here have an answer for this? Seriously, I was really bad in chemistry in high school. If I had anything that I knew was an oil I'd check it out and see. Let me go look. I'll be back in a minute and let you know what oil and VG do if I have any.

I've asked it before and I'll ask it again...


How does one tell the difference between a flavor that you just don't like and a bad juice????

Easy -- the stuff you traded to me was good, the stuff I sent you was bad :)
(JK -- TV does do a nice cherry cola)

Ok, Found some cinn oil and got the VG out. Mixed the two and it's so cloudy that I can't see thru it at all. So oils do not mix well with VG. This stuff is the color of milk.

Well that makes me fell a lot more confident in keeping these, I really wasn't looking forward to throwing out almost 2 oz's
By the way Jules, you should get your PIF tomorrow.:)

Glad that helped. I only mixed the 2 things and got the cloudy messy looking stuff,lol

You don't know my post office,lol Actually, I've moved so I don't know my post office,lol

Edit to add: Note to self, don't mess with cinn oil then scratch your nose. OMG I"m dying!!!
