I'm looking to use e cigs. I have researched them, and the liquid that is vaporized, so I have familiarized myself with them. That said, I would like to vaporize 100% Vegetable Glycerin liquid. Can any e cigarette vaporize VG liquid? What is a good e cig for vaporizing VG, quality components, solid vapor production.


The answer to that is yes, vg is part of the ingredients found in the eliquid. But it is highly recommended that you use USP VG that is food grade. You can also add propylene glycol(pg) and if desired nicotine and a food flavoring of your choice.
There are several parts that make up the total package. You have a battery, a cartomizer and/or a clearomizer to hold the eliquid, and then of course, the eliquid it self.
If you wish to vape only VG, then I would suggest you dilute it with distilled water, 1 or 2 drops in a 10ml bottle should do it. It is very thick and can gunk up the coils in the carto/clearo giving you a rather harsh experience.

Hope this helps.
:)

no.. VG is pretty thick and does not flow very well... most of the top and bottom coil clearomizers (EVOD, CE STYLE) need a VG/PG ratio of around 50/50 - 80/20 (%80 VG) you can use distilled water to thin out %100 VG a bit. this might be something to try if you have a PG intolerance. one type of device known as an "RDA or rebuildable dripping atomizer" can run close to %100 VG eliquid... to see my dripping setup check out the link below http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...my-build-ego-octopus-mini-2.html#post11522372

i run %90-%95+ VG in this device.

Pg is in asthma meds. But if you prefer VG I have used 100% from a few different places. Virgin Vapor. (I cannot recall the others)

I have not had a problem with it gunking up things. I used them in my first e-cig which was an ego with an atomizer with no fluffy filler.
I have also used them in my tanks and larger smileo carts. I had no problem.. The only thing I noticed is that it took a little longer for the liquid to absorb/ saturate the cartos. But a taryn spin helped speed that along.

Hi CJ,
E-liquids are available in a range from 100% VG/0%PG to 0%VG/100%PG and everything in between. They are designed to be used in most devices on the market today.
Do you have a budget?
What nicotine levels are you considering?
Do you currently burn tobacco to use it?
In your research, have you found any devices, juices, Atomizers that you have a question about?

Welcome
I

Thanks for the reply... I would work out a budget after seeing what options I have, nicotene levels probably around 12%, no I do not smoke cigarettes, and I have been looking at the Joye 510 rechargeable to start with.

I have found velvet cloud vapor all natural vapor, and they claim to use all natural ingredients, and to slightly dilute their 100% VG with distilled water, to allow it to flow.

its important to keep in mind that you will not find an eliquid that is actually %100 VG. PG and VG are "hygroscopic" meaning they absorb water from the atmosphere. most vendors use %1-%10 water in there "%100 VG" liquid. the flavorings often use a solvent like grain alcohol or PG... so i guess the real question here is, do i need PG in an eliquid? the answer is no. PG is often used because it carries the flavoring and nicotine very well...

%12 nicotine is 120 MG per mL... i think you mean %1.2 nicotine

12 MG per mL is 1.2 percent nicotine by volume

12mg Nicotine solution - 500ml
check out this link. this is unflavored 12 MG per mL and you can select PG or VG as the base.
if you don't care about flavor this is as close to a pure VG eliquid as i believe you can find that contains nicotine.

VG on its own has a weird bland sweet flavor. and nicotine has sort of a peppery zing.

Of course you can't get 100% VG if its diluted with water, that's arguing semantics. Velvet cloud vapor has "100%" VG as I call it, slightly diluted with distilled water. Velvet Cloud Vapor - Organic and Natural All VG E-Liquid from San Francisco

Well I just want to know a good e cig that I can use to vaporize velvet cloud vapor's VG liquid. I like the looks of the Joye 510-T. The complication of everything with an e cig is a turn off to the whole thing.

sure that could work just fine... if it doesn't just add a 1 or 2 drops of distilled water to the bottle of eliquid until its thinned out enough to flow into the atomizer. if you keep getting dry or burnt vapes just add another drop of distilled water.

there's two predominant ways to reference the nicotine content in juice, 1.8% or 18mg, which are the same. I would recommend not using 100% VG. VG is great in producing huge clouds of vapor but does not carry the flavor nor throat hit as well as PG. There are certainly some vendors that you can get 100% VG, which in reality is probably 90%, such as ilhusions. If you're currently using tobacco worrying about PG might be a priority down the road (I haven't seen any reports stating that PG is harmful) and quit smoking first. You may want to start with a 50-50 blend.
