I'm not usually a vodka drinker myself, so I just picked up a little bar fridge bottle for $3 to see how well it would work. (Absolut, because ... well, I dunno. I liked the glass bottle. Smirnoff cheaps out with plastic. ) It definitely works to dilute the liquid well, and at ~25% dilution (40% alcohol, because we can't get anything stronger than that in Canada) I actually can't taste the alcohol, only feel some of the warmth on the intake. It's quite nice actually, and doesn't seem to dilute the flavour of the juice much at all, which is great. Plus, the slight extra TH is important for me, as that's what I really need out of a vape. I could step down my nic considerably if I could achieve the same TH. Once I get into the DIY I'm going to order some Flash to mix my stuff down with, which should help considerably.Still haven't picked up any PG or VG, and I don't think I'd want to dilute with VG on these Fluxomizers. They work fine with up to 20% VG but anything thicker than that and they'll dry hit like mad unless you fiddle with the cup seal, and I hate fiddling. I'm already modding every one I open because none of them work worth a damn out of the box, and that's about all the fiddling I want to do.
I had to step back on nic strength at about 9 months mindfield, been dropping slooowly ever since. whoda thunk it. I agree with Tom on the better uses for vodka though 
Nice ta meet ya seconchance and chloe!

...you all have a good safe night~Bye
sdh is in Central Time Zone (Same as Texas). So yeah. I show 31st (in EST). She would have joined between midnight and 1 am on the 31st EST, or 11:00 pm - midnight CST. So we need to celebrate all day starting early on the 30th.
Cool... but vodka also has water content so too much will be bleck. I"m with TomcatT... drink the vodka, except for maybe a few drops as a thinner.
Mind, I've mixed nicquids with 60%PG/40% [85%VG/15%H2O] and used with my clearomizers with no problems.
Don't forget when starting DIY, dilute your VG with water (or vodka) up to 80VG/20?. That way the VG is much easier to work with, diluting it will thin it out a lot.

Nice Avi CES.
I'm just making extra posts to spread my "opposite ends of the spectrum, lovely symmetry" avatar around.
You guys are never going to hear the end of this one. It's not easy to impress Mindfield, you know. So the next time I have a crummy avi, I can always resort to "Yeah, but WHO impressed Mindfield? Hmmm?"

Out of curiosity, what physical symptoms did you start experiencing that made you realize you have to dial it back?
Well, so far 25% dilution with vodka has been working excellently. Drops the nic to 1.8% and doesn't seem to effect the flavour at all, so it seems this is what I need for now. I want to drop it even lower but preserve TH, so for that I think I need a TH enhancer like Flash. (Well, Flash is intended to be a 0 nic alternative but mixed with nic I think it would work very well.)
True enough. Depending on certain things, I may be getting into this fairly soon, so we'll see at that point.

hmmm...my molecule is tartrazine, a yellow dye used in Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew is known for it's caffeine/sugar content. So, in a sorta roundabout way, I sorta somewhat have an opposite ends of the spectrum avi too....maybe
Pardon my intrusion into the vodka convo, but has anyone tried mixing in PGA?
That's funny Tom. I thought it was a component of denture cleaner.... for the dog. lol.
Chip: What is wrong with you?
Texas Ranger: Chip, I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew!

I don't PI, 'cuz it's hard/expensive to get PGA... so I use PG or water as a thinner. I should get my mitts on some tho.
What's your take on it?

Minefield, it felt like anxiety.....racing heart, a little dizzy Took me a little while to realize that it got worse when I vaped more (cigs always made stuff feel better) it got better with lower concentrations. So much for developing tolerance.
Thanks atty

I haven't actually tried it, only thought about it. If that stuff doesn't kick your throat like a mule, I don't know what would,
Any guinea pigs / volunteers?

Same thing has been happening to me. I've been vaping 6 months. I dropped the nic level from 18 to 12 with my last batch of nicquid.
