Safe to dilute with VG?

[Maharaj]

So if you've read some of my last posts I'd like to say my problem was all in harsh nic content, but now I have 6-7 bottles with high nic mix, is it safe to dilute these to make them tolerable with food grade VG?

Yep. Look for USP on the label.

Walmart glycerine is made by one of the major manufacturers (Humco) and is plenty good to vape.

Sure it is......... This calculator use to help me. DIY E-Liquid Combining Calculator

Good luck to you and happy diluting.

you can use VG to dilute the nic but it also dilutes the flavor.... you might want to consider getting the same juices in 0 nic to drop the nic but maintain the flavor strength...

If you use Vg to thin it out you will need some Distilled water .

Possibly but not definitely.

All depends on what the final ratio ends up being and how well your device wicks.

I can go 30/70 without adding any thinners but lately I stick to 50/50 and it's all good.

i add some VG to some juices to thicken it and make more cloud. IT does dilute the nic and flavor though

Safe -- yes, but I agree with the poster saying get some of the same flavor in 0 nic to lower the nicotine content or you will lose flavor as well as the nic level.

Why distilled water to thin out glycerin? I use boiled water, what the difference?

 

[bobdarkside]

Boiled water will still have minerals that are present in tap water. Which is also why it is recommended to boil cotton with distilled water, since cotton will pick up flavor from anything

yes, but you should premix your VG first. What I mean by that is if your bottle is 50/50, then you would want to premix a batch of 50/50, PG/VG. Even if its not then just VG will be good. Just make sure its food grade. Also your diluting your flavoring also, So if you had 24mg nic in 15ml bottle with 20% flavoring and you want to get that down to 12ml nic, then you need to add 15ml of vg, but your flavor is now down to 10%.

These minerals make water tasty.

Sure but is it ok to breath them and whatever else is in the water? Point is Distilled water is super cheap and a gallon bottle will last forever,

Bear in mind it will also dilute the flavor, you might consider getting some 0 nic in the same flavor and mix.
