Mixing PG/VG

[dschumske]

Can I just mix PG and VG together with a few drops of favor?

Yes. Be careful about using flavorings that are oil-based and those with a lot of sugar in them because they can trash an atomizer, but, yes, that's what DIY is all about.

Sure.

You can, but if you plan on vaping it you'll want to be sure you have USP PG & VG.

Might want to read the eliquid DIY forum thread too.

I have look in DIY and understand (kinda) what favors to use. I do have USP PG and VG. I have mixed VG and Gin together without any problems. Would I have to still add something to the VG to water it down or will the PG do that for me. I have also read that a 70% PG and 30% VG mix is a good start point.

I usually use a mix of 70% PG and 30% VG. PG will give you more throat hit and VG will give you more smoke. Some people use all VG juices and depending on the nicotine level, you may or may not have much of a throat hit, but tons of vapor. Be sure to add some water to dilute the VG since it tends to be a little thick. I usually want some throat hit with my juices so adding PG will help along with the nicotine level. With 70/30 PG/VG you shouldnt have to add any water to make it less thick. The PG should do the trick.

I've mixed 70/30 PG/VG without any need to thin it with alcohol or water.

Good ratio for heavy vapor production.

If your mix results in a hot-burnt taste after a few vapes, then thinning it will help. Otherwise you're fine.

sounds about right on the mix ration it should give you a good throat hit and a decent amount of vapor....more flavor and th then vapor but it should be a good mix
