USP glycerin

[Alexdow123]

I read on here that USP glycerin is a good flavorless substance to vape and fairly inexpensive compared to actually by juice. The question is what can be added to USP glycerin to make actual flavors. I was thinking some kool aid. Not the powering but the actual drink itself and add just a few drops of it for 10 ml of glycerin. Any ideas?

People usually use concentrated food flavorings. You can find a lot of them here. DIY E-Liquid, Electronic Cigarettes and Wholesale Nicotine & E-Cig Juice | EcigExpress. Also a good idea is to cut the glycerin with about 10% distilled water to thin it down, that will help with wicking.

Alexdow123, probably NOT a good idea. Some distilled water can be added to dilute the thickness of glycerin, but too much water will negatively affect your vape. The temperature of our atomizers to vaporize e-liquid is not high enough to vaporize water.

I suggest that you start looking into DIY (do it yourself) e-liquids. Flavoring agents can be purchased that are better designed for what you are looking for.

I use this glycerin purchased from Walmart to dilute my e-liquids when the nic concentration is too high.

Alright man thanks really appreciate the help. I'll prolly use some purified water I read to add like 2 or 3 drops of water for every 10 ml of glycerin to help thin it down

Use Propylene Glycol. It's thin like water. It's what is used as a base for concentrated flavouring. It's a basic ingredient used in E liquid.

E liquid Basic ingredients

Vegetable Glycerine
Propylene Glycol
Nicotine
Flavouring

It's also recommended that you don't use liquids with a high sugar content, because they will crust up your coils and likely burn. Moreover, inhaling such things is dangerous.

Typically vapers use PG and VG as the diluents and i personally never use water because if you use iron based metals for coils (like kanthal say) they will rust!

Never had rusting problems with my setups and I've been using exclusively 10% water and kanthal for little over a year. I even pulled out some of my long forgotten about attys to check for rust and their is non.

i guess the humidity down here kills them. C'est la vie.

Just use a bottle, put about 10% water then fill the rest up with glycerine; or do it the other way around; fill the bottle till it's 90% glycerine then top off the rest with the water.

Then use that as your base liquid and you can add to that a small amount of purchased eliquid; that's what I do.

Ejuice ia made of Propylene Glycol ABS vegetable glycerin.

Always get the USP or Kosher grade.

Order some flavors from High Desert Vapes or The Flavor apprenti

I'd use vape-specific flavors, if I were doing it, and I wouldn't expect much flavor from 100% VG as it does not carry flavor well. Try diluting your VG with some PG (propylyene glycol), which does carry flavor well, and is about as viscous as water, and vaporizes and wick better than water. BTW, if you do that, you'll be a DIY e-juice maker without knowing it

I agree completely. Get real ejuice flavors. Good flavors barely work. They wont be happy
