VG liquid too thick??

[jpracing]

I just ordered a bunch of VG liquid and would like to know if they would be too
thick to use in a tank.
I ordered them because at that time I was still dripping.
However, I have just tried tanks and now I'm hooked.
So, will my VG stash of about 10 bottles go to waste? Well, besides me dripping them.
Thanks everyone!

It depends on your setup, but if you are finding your juice is not wicking well through a tank either make your holes in your carto a bit larger or thin your VG juice out with a few drops of distilled water or vodka/everclear.

Keep in mind that will reduce flavor as well as nic lvl in relation to how much you add to your present mix.

You can also add PG.

If the quantity of distilled water or PG is small (say 5%) it should not effect the nic level or flavour content much in the resulting mix.

eg. if the original was 18mg nic the adding 5% water would drop the nic level by less than 1mg.

The VG liquid is from Virgin Vapors and its 100%VG and organic (just quoting the site).
I realize viscosity will affect wicking but maybe what I'm asking is
will 100% VG juice work with a tank system?
if there are issues involved, what are they and what can I do to remedy them?

We are taking about minute quantities here. Like 1% total.

Also, vodka/everclear will help increase flavor and throat hit.

Her juices come thin, they work in my tank, but you might send her an email just to ask if they are thin enough to use in your tank. She usually thins mine for me before she sends them out!

I used mostly VG juices (75-80%) in my tank. I thinned the juice with PG and PGA. I use 3% PGA, which should thin the VG quite well by itself. That works out to ~20 drops of PGA (Everclear) per 10ml.

i dont use a carto tank but i do se the ego t and the ego c tank and virgin vapors juices work good in them . for me anyway

I don't think you'll have a problem. I never used VV juices but I use Bobas and Gorilla all the time with no issues and it's pretty thick. If you do find it's an issue there are many quick fixes many have already been mentioned. Get the juice and enjoy.

Forgot all about this thread!!
Thank you all for the answers!
I ordered a lot of VV juice and can't wait to vape them!

Duplicate your order in PG and blend with the VG juice to thin it some. JMHO

So, I have an opposite question to this. I have some butter rum from americaneliquidstore.com and it's 100% vg. It hits kind of strong and the liquid itself is not clear (guess it has stuff to make the flavor) as opposed to other juices that are clear, so it seems to gunk up the carto's quickly. I'm vaping it on a vortex 2.0 (from gotvapes.com) and notice that it leaves a lot of residue on the sides and it won't come off. I was thinking of purchasing 100% pg to "mix" in with the remaining butter rum (which I have about 45 ml left) and adding ~ 9ml of 100% PG to it for an 80VG/20PG mix. My questions:

1. Will it reduce the amount of debris left in the carto? I'm assuming it will thin out the liquid a bit
2. Will it soften the flavor a bit?
3. Is there a different ratio of PG would you recommend I add?
4. Imagine throat hit would get stronger by adding PG, is this a correct assumption?
5. Is my assumption correct where if I add the 9 ml (100%PG) to an existing 45ml (100%VG)of liquid (which is 20%), will this then make my ratio an 80vg/20pg mix or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Bumping and hoping for a response to my query!

 

[swedishfish]

Giving this a bump!

jp, next time you order from vv, ask annette to double the flavor and thin it. that' what i do

Ty, I doubled the flavor but did not ask her to thin it out

well, just add a couple drops of distilled water to your reo bottle or your tank. that won't mess up the flavor. i do that all the time with some of my diy vg.

Good to know. Thanks for the tip!
