Substitute for PG

[Mr.Mann]

In the lab portions of the only two chemistry classes I took, we used deionized water, and even had our own little deionizers. Just because of this, I assume the deionized is the cleaner of the three. Note the use of the word "assume".

Not to contradict alien Traveler at all, but it's an experience I wanted to share.

This is some of what I fond on it: Deionized - Demineralized Water - Lenntech

Deionized water is cheaper than distilled one and in lab settings it’s easier to set a continuous source of DI water (however continuous source is prone to bacterial contamination). I would always prefer freshly distilled water to DI water, or even better double distilled water or distilled DI water.

Edit: Actually, I think there is no difference for vaping in between DI or distilled water – percent of water in juice is too low to notice any difference.

I haven't noticed that, but my water is always 10% or less, and perhaps I shake it less vigorously. Did you notice that when it was warm, or was it cold, or both?

I have only tried it without heat. The froth forms only when shaking vigorously. It causes small bubbles that gradually come to the top. Nothing to be concerned about.

Probably 15% total between water and pg flavoring.

Water is ok it works, the only downside is a little more popping from your coil as the water steams faster than the juice. Sometimes at higher power you can have it pop pretty good to reach the mouth piece. Really if you want to go ~100vg, sans flavoring, i would just do it. I prefer only 5% water max to reduce popping. I wouldn't go over 10% at all..

All you really need to do is modify your wicking in the devices to allow the thicker juice to flow. I have only used 100vg since the beginning and have been able to get everything working. In the old cartomizers I used 5% water.

I can attest to that; there is a more noticeable popping sound in my vg+water mixes; it's noticeable to other people in the vacinity too.

I am so happy you all are discussing this as I have had that popping sound/experience and had no idea why.

Excessive popping and crackling noise can also happen from slightly loose wick or poor wick to coil contact.
ie: too little cotton
