I went in phases. Started with tobaccos, then coffees, then fruit. When my "go to" honeysuckle vendor went out of business, I figured I'd try unflavored until I could track down a new supplier. After vaping about 6ml of the unflavored I went back to the honeysuckle and it was too sweet. I've been vaping unflavored ever since (24mg, 100% VG, from MyFreedomSmokes. Roughly $45 for 1000 ml), and the difference in how long coils/wicks last is amazing, not just on my REOs, but on the wife's Ego's too. The cost savings is also HUGE, I probably spend $1-$2 a week to vape.
And +3 likes to Aarhus, I dilute my 24mg unflavored down to 20mg with water, making about 180-240 ml at a time, and it doesn't get much simpler. 5 parts nic juice, 1 part water and we're set for weeks.
I saw some coconut oil based VG on the Walmart website. Has anyone heard of it or tried it?
It's called Nature's Answer Pure Vegetable Glycerin - Alcohol free extract, Coconut derived. $9.97- 4 oz.
Is this stuff usable?
The glycerin on the shelf at most Walmarts is around $4 for 6 oz. Manufactured by Humco who makes the glycerin sold by many pharmacies, USP grade. It works and tastes fine.
Yes I've seen the Humco but was curious about the Nature's Answer. Wondered if it had a coconut taste since its derived from coconuts. Guess there is one way to find out, buy some and try some. Just didn't know if it was safe.
Should be safe if it is USP grade, otherwise, don't know. I doubt that it has any coconut flavor but let us know.![]()
Hi A P,
When you dilute with water does it tend to separate after a while? I always shake my re fill bottle pretty good but I was just wondering. I'm guessing the PG/VG e-juice and the water are miscible but I am not sure. Just wondering what you've seen with it?
Will do.![]()
It seems to mix really easily when I first mix it up (Pure VG is EPIC thick stuff). I tend to shake my 60ml bottle before I fill my 6ml ones, and I also shake the 6ml ones before I put them into the grand. Works for me. And, tbh, I was really surprised at how easily the water mixed in. I had a harder time mixing PG and VG together. It would be pretty easy to tell if they ever separated because of the thickness, so I'd say, no, they don't really separate, at least not short term.
I've got a question about going as much 100% VG a I can, if I can just get it asked right.
I'm presently vaping about 65% VG/35 PG as close as I can tell because the nic juice was PG based and the 555 Flavoring is PG based also.
Anyway I'm getting some 100mg nic juice--VG based from Wizard tomorrow or Monday according to tracking and I want to try unflavored as pure VG as I can get. PG raises a bit of a problem for me.
What I'm wondering is should I raise the nic percentage a bit to get about an equivalent nic hit as I am getting now? I realize I'll probably have to trial and error to taste or effect to finally get to where I want but I generally have the impression that the more VG you have the less the nic hits. Is this more or less correct?
As far as flavoring goes I can't taste much anyway really, just sort of sense the vapor/smoke, temperature and the nic fix.
Thanks.
You are going to need VG and distilled water to dilute that 100mg base to a vapable level. There are things you can add to increase throat hit but you might not need it. I'd try without first.I've got a question about going as much 100% VG a I can, if I can just get it asked right.

Best Electronic Cigarettes and E-Liquid - MyFreedomSmokes.com usually has good nic....I haven't been there to see if they're in stock.... It's where I get mine when they have a 40% off sale. Otherwise I use Wizards lab.
That's where I got all 6 liters I have (well, down to about 5 now). Love the brown glass bottles and the extreme packing they do for shipment.
