@garyoa1 I mixed up some Russian stuff with straight VG and it is pretty thick. Trying to decide whether to add DW or PG. My flavors are all PG and my nic is 50/50 so I have about 1.5ml of PG in the juice now. I figure if Quacks is 95% water and I added 6ml to a 30ml bottle thats about 5+ml water in a 30ml. Maybe thats why they suggest steeping with it in open air. One thing I do notice with the high VG having the juice ports open I really go through the juice but adding DW you are still stayin nearly 100%VG

Look. They say PG enhances flavor more than VG. If the mix is suggesting VG, then adding PG instead would enhance the flavor evenmore. Sounds good on paper, but the "extra" enhancement might just destroy the flavor by making it over powering.

The flavoring might be watered down. Their mix is 100% VG. All flavorings are watered down. You ever see a thick flavor?
No all mine are in a PG base but using water in the flavoring would still leave the final product 100% VG right?

Pg doesn't enhance flavor. It carries the flavor. A carrier, not an enhancer. Vg mutes flavor.

PG base or water? ;) But if you dilute the flavor you get less strength so to get the flavor the "chef" desired you'd have to add more flavor. Defeats the purpose. And then the question is... how much more do you add??

Well the Russian stuff I mixed up is just too think with all VG. In a 30ml bottle I am only using about .6ml of flavoring it is so strong just need to thin it out a little thinking of trying about 3ml PG or 3 ml DW. The flavor is that strong.
Well yeah, dilute if it's too strong. But not cuz it's too thik. And yeah, VG is like glue. Hay... less leeks! :D

VG is not necessarily bedder in a mix. Just that quacks "calls" for VG. And a FWIW, u sed u like the smell. Well, it tastes just like it smells. :)
It smells just like I thought. The chocolate one has a slight chocolate smell but the other stuff shines through also. They all smelled great especially if you put a drop on your finger to smell it. Yummy.
