I've ran out of juice and all i have is 100% Glycerin (Glycerol) while my order is being delivered. I was wondering if a mixed this with some water, would it be safe to vape and give vapor? There's also a SPAR (mini-supermarket) near me so if anyone has ideas for flavor that would be even more a bonus.

I really don't want to buy a pack of cigarettes and i think if i get still get the smoking action and vapor, i may be able to hold out until my delivery arrives.

If i can vape it no problems, how much % of water should i add?

Guys, just to let you know..

I mixed:

3ml of Glycerin
10drop or so drops of vodka
5-10drops of vanilla water/alcohol based vanilla flavoring from the shop

It gave me a throat hit that was so harsh, alongside the vile flavor it's made me feel physically sick, i ran to the sink and started caughing up gunk immediately (i had vaped about 10-15 draws while addin extra drops in between). Still feel bad now, i recommend you just buy some cigarettes if anyone else gets in this predicament.

Don't vape it unless you see USP (for human consumption) somewhere on the label. There are other 100% glycerins that aren't USP that are sold at stores.

When I make DIY liquid in 3ml batch, about 30% (1ml) is VG and I add 10 drops of everclear to thin it out and works pretty good. The flavoring % completely depends on the flavor, some are 1 drop to a 3ml while others are 15+ drops.

You can definitely make your own with just VG and flavoring (and PG if you have it). I imagine that vanilla was not a normal candy flavoring like Lorann's or similar?

DIY takes some trial and error. If you don't have the backup pre-made to ease your frustrations, I think it will be hard to succeed in making a zero nic temp juice to hold you over.

If I were you, I would just buy the pack of cigs and consider it a lesson learned (to never run out again).

GL :D

It was vanilla flavoring for cooking food lmao :D

Lesson learn't though, my juice should be here tomorrow or thursday.
 
Try snus or dissolvables before you punt to analogs. Reduce harm when you can, and on a practical level...you won't get the stink on your clothes, the tar in your lungs, and you wont lose your progress toward regaining your sense of taste and smell. ...plus you can try soaking it in your glycerin mixture as suggested above.

In the UK we have BP, this glycerin is made by Boots and says 100%. It's supposed to be mixed with water and drank to cure a sore throat.

Sorry Aaron - didn't check 'location'. And thanks for the UK designation, that will come in handy. Sounds like you're all set. A common ratio for VG and distilled water is 80:20 and that works well for me.

IMO if you do this, then you'll end up buying snus then going back out and buying a pack. There's a reason smokers don't succeed with nic products you don't inhale and blow out smoke.

Personally, I wouldn't set myself up for the stress. A couple of days of smoking isn't going to hurt any more than the years before.

LOL. worth a try. I read before someone soaking cloves in VG to try and get a similar temporary solution. I don't think it worked out very well for them either.
