Newbie E Liquid Question

[JS33]

Hi, just want to ask if just vegetable glycerin and water is enough to be an eliquid? For example i mix 1ml of vegetable glycerin and 1ml of water, does it produce vapor, and will it damage the cartomizer?

I wouldn't recommend a 50/50 mix. Too watery. Better would be around 80% VG 20% water, or maybe a bit less water. It will produce vapour and it won't damage anything, but obviously it's just glycerine and water - it has no flavour to speak of, and no throat hit.

What most would consider e-liquid includes flavouring and usually nicotine. The DIY forum has much more information about making e-liquid - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/

For cartos, I have found %flavor + %water = 20 to 22% total works well. Generally my VG juices are 10% flavor and 12% water, with the rest VG and nic. If I use less flavor I use more water, accordingly. That's for cartos, tanks, CE2s, dual-coils, etc. For dripping in attys I use less water, if any.
