Total noob with possibly the stupidest question ever.

Never mixer before although I have used medical grade vg to dilute some over strong liquids.

i just searched my local store fore some more glycerin (vg) and found this....

My mind started ticking, if I added nicotine and maybe distiller water if needed to thin it, could I vape this?

Not sure if that link works but this is a bit more information....

Personally, I wouldn't go near it.

The ingredients sound like sugar(maybe a lot), water, artificial flavors and a little glycerin.

Might be fine to ingest, not so much for vaping.

I wouldn't want to vape citric acid... Stick with PG/VG and nic; chemical burns to the lungs are not pretty!

Yeah, sounds like they are using the same substance you are vaping (VG) as a cough suppressant.

I also see sugar, sugar, citric acid... I know you don't want to vape these three any more than you need to.

I don't see any point in vaping it

Dont do it

Actually, the VG in this case is not acting as a cough suppressant, but as a humectant to relieve dry cough symptoms.

Thought it looked to good to be that easy, but not being a chemist thought I would ask.
I do buy pharmaceutical vg as suggested by others, so may consider buying some nicotine and some sort of aniseed to make some basic liquid to test out.

safe to vape? NOOOOOOO!!!

 

[Davantrac]

I've settled on my starter, a simple 1 flavour recipe.
100ml of 54mg/ml pg nicotine
200ml of vg
A simple straight forward base. Then I'm hoping to find some aniseed flavouring or absinthe to add at about 10%. If this turn out over thick I can thin with diluted water I believe.
Looks really easy, keep things clean and sterile.
Anything wrong with my idea?


Another stupid question, I've heard of thinning juice with alcohol, can I us neat absinthe alcohol to flavour it or should it be a genuine flavouring.

For your base, you will have 300 ml of 33PG/66VG at 18 mg/ml nic. If that is what you are going for, there is nothing wrong with it. I don't know about using absinthe, maybe others here do.
