Vegetable Glycerine

[Mycide]

If I was looking for some VG to cut nic level of the the flavored PG I ordered, could I not just order the oil off of the herbal websites ?

^ That's the right stuff, right ?

Its a lot less expensive on those sites, and the nic level in the PG I ordered is a little more then I should have ordered.

can anyone recomend a brand or site ?

For VG: Now Foods, Vegetable Glycerin, 473 ml - Supplements - Glycine - Now Foods - VitaPal.com

For PG: Generic - Propylene Glycol #31230-Z

In either case, order 2. It will ship for the same price as 1............

I was told that you will also need some distilled water to add to the mix.
Don't use tap/faucet water because of calcium deposits on the atomizer.
I think Elendil may want to expand on this?
I'm not sure why water needs to be added?
Maybe because these VG and PG are too viscous?

Some people add a tiny (and I mean tiny) amount of water to their VG (VG is thicker than PG)mixtures to help thin it out. Some people will add vodka instead of water. I have used both PG and VG to mix my own flavors and I have never added anything to thin it out and have had no problems at all.

yeah i would definitely go vodka before water. the lower evap temperature is kinder to your atty. though i would go with a grain vodka maybe, because potato vodka might have starches (sugars) and they should be avoided. maybe im wrong or just paranoid. but vodka definitely burns at lower temp than water though, so my recommendation would be to use that.

as far as VG to use, Wilton's glycerine is nice (found at Michael's, Hobby lobby, and other cake supply places), and walmart sells a Humco glycerine that some people use on this board. what you want to look for, when in doubt of whether a glycerine is appropriate, is for a USP somewhere on the label. ive been told that that means it is safe for us to vape.

I us a 50/50 mix of PG and VG. Part of the PG is in the flavoring and in the unflavored nic juice. It gives pretty good vapor and isn't too thick.

What's the highest nic PG anyone has found ? I figure the nic level never seems to increase the price, so the higher the nic level the cheaper it is for me. Is that a good way to think about it ? I would think most flavors would survive being diluted. Or at least the few types I have tried seem like they would.
