Thininning your juice

[Semiretired]

I have seen in several posts people mention thinning with vodka. Besides thinning the juice. What does that do to the liquid?

vape Quality? TH? Flavor? Taste?, etc.

What else has been tried for thinning? Is thinning with vodka really safe?

I have also seen thinning with distilled water. What is the impact thinning with that?

I read somewhere that diluting joose with vodka can kill the cilia in your lungs. Could be a falicy, but I just steer clear form alcohol based juice. (MHO), not knocking anyone who does it at all..

I have some thick juices that I enjoy a lot, but they clog up my carto's too quickly. I'm considering diluting them with distilled water, but I'm afraid I'll loose too much of what makes those juices great (flavor, TH). So I'm curious about this as well.

Just a random idea: someone should make and sell juice-thinning-juices - ie very thin juices that are mostly water, but with nic and some generic flavor (tobacco, fruit, sweet, menthol), but not too much character, so it can be added to other juices without loosing too much flavor.

Distilled water and flavor shots would seem to be a viable approach.

I use everclear or 110 proof vodka. It doesn't seem to do anything to my 100% VG except thin it. no throat hit, dilution anything just thinning. and I don't have to use much. I did get some PG tho so might start using that since I don't think it bothers my throat anymore

I'd be interested in reading on that if you have any links. My experience with adding a few drops of vodka was that it seemed to bump up both th and flavor, but started giving me sandpaper throat after a while. I liked the added th but it did have a sort of harsh quality to it. I've also vaped some berry flavors that gave me an achy throat and as near as I can figure out, the flavor for that juice was alcohol based as was the nicotine. It's hard to figure things out for sure because we often don't know exactly how much of what is in our juices lol.

Doesn't sound comfortable to me....don't know how you did it, Miranda.

When I mix 100%VG I generally make a 30mL batch. I add 1mL of Everclear (PGA) to 30mL, so approximately ~1%. Thins it nicely, adds TH, doesn't cut flavor.

Sorry....forgot. FaceBook....LOL

Inhaling alcohol sounds painful to me.

hahaha you can't even taste it at all and many flavorings have alcohol in them

I have issues with handling alcohol, I'm really uncomfortable with it. Does adding distilled water to 100% VG decrease vapor?

100% VG has great vapor, you should be fine adding distilled water. ask in the DIY section for best ratios tho im not a water user
