Hello there,

This question has been haunting me ever since I started making my own e-juices. I mostly use the Taifun GT atty and was wondering if it can handle 100% VG? Also, does the same apply to drippers, for instance, the IGO-L?

I love my e-liquids to be 100% VG, and the VG I use is Bell's Glycerin BP (100%). It's really thick!

I do not want to thin my e-liquids if the un-diluted ones can work on my atty. I feel like DW lowers the quality of my e-liquids :?:

Your help is appreciated! :D

I've done my research and many say it could result in dry hits due to its thickness and the wick not being able to absorb the thick liquid.

Anyways I've made a test e-juice at 100% VG and 8% flavors (undiluted). I've been steeping it since yesterday and will keep doing so for a few more days. It's a new recipe I've been working on that smells just like bubble gum. Hope the final result is just as good!

However, I'd love to see your opinions if you've tried or actually vape 100% VG undiluted.

Unless you are dripping, un-thinned VG is going to give you wicking trouble (unless you are buying it from someone that is selling it already thinned)

When I make my base, the first thing I do is thin my VG to my desired consistency - a little bit of distilled water and a little bit of PGA - before combining with any PG or Nic.

That way, once my desired liquid is mixed up there is usually very little (if any) that needs adjusting
