trying to thin out high vg store bought

[Arnold Ziffle]

i'm trying to thin out high vg for use in my kayfuns. i can make it work but it has a narrow range and is a bit of a pain. i can't do it on my ejuice calculator. i want to know how much pg to add to 80/20 and 70/30 to bring it down to 60/40 and or 50/50 in a 30 ml bottle.

Just a base mix of unflavored 80/20 mix would contain 4.2ml or 4.36g of PG. in a 60/40 base it would be 10.2ml or 10.57g.

So subtract the 10.2ml from the 4.2ml to get 6ml of PG additive to bring it down to 60/40.

so are you saying ad 6 ml of pg to 30 mil of 80/20 to bring it down to 60/40? i'm trying to thin out cannoli be one to make it more kayfun mtl friendly. i know it will lighten up the flavor and i'm ok with that for the convenience. i have a few mtl drippers to enjoy it straight.

Think of it in units of 10 to make it easier. 80/20 is just 8 ml of VG and 2 ml of PG. 70/30 is just 7 ml of VG and 3 ml of PG.

thank you guys for the help. i've been making my own juice for over s year but my calculator won't give me the amount of pg for changing the ratio of already finished juice.

30 ML 80VG/20PG bottle
Has
6ML PG
24 ML VG


Add 10 ML PG to 20PG/80VG will give you 40ML of 40PG/60VG

i use this percent calculator when thinning my max vg with dw. when i'm happy with the mix, it's easy to replicate.

thank you for all of the help. i didn't know it would take so much pg. i think i'll start low around 3 ml and see if it wicks better and how it affects the flavor.

If what you want is for it to wick better but want to keep it more in the higher VG range you can substitute distilled water for the PG . Start by adding 3% distilled water to the total volume of mix to thin and work up in 1% increments if needed.

I agree with Danny's suggestion of using distilled water to thin out high VG juices to make them wick better. A gallon bottle costs $1 at any grocery store. Just start by adding 1 drop per 5 ml and go from there. A little goes a long way when used for thinning juice, so you don't need to bother doing calculations to figure out ratios or nicotine strength. You are adding so little DW that the change in nic strength and pg/vg ratios is negligible.

That was my first thought. I don't use water in my mixes because I mix at 60pg and 70pg in my recipes. PG is so thin to start with that it runs almost like water into a mixing bottle from a condiment bottle. Thicker VG is much easier to control when pouring from a spout bottle, so much that you have to cut the tip a little to speed it up.
