VG nicer on the throat to you guys who use it?

[Newff]

Been vaping for about a week and a half now I think..It's in my signature which I can't see while writing, but anyway lol

Today I mixed some VG with my Menthol juice, about 75% PG juice and 25% VG..and a few drops of bottled water (is bottled water ok?) to make the everything a little thinner because the VG is kinda like a gel almost. With straight PG i always have this tickle, or dry throat, nothing serious but definitely something that bothered me..now with some VG added I don't get that anymore.

Not sure how much VG will dillute the taste of most flavors but Menthol is still very nice but Menthol is naturally strong so. Anyway if anyone has the same problem as me I reccommend going and buying a little bottle of VG...I got mine in a health shop where they sell stuff like protein powder, vitamins ect..but also different oils and stuff for your skin.

Obviously most people know about VG (Vegetable Glycerin) but these are just my experience with it so figured I'd share my thoughts.

I heard it's better to use Distilled Water instead of bottled, but if it works for you, great! I do sort of the same thing, just add a few drops of VG into some of my juices to get a bit more vapor and soften the hit a bit.

VG helps me too. It also gives me more vapor. I've been cutting mine with vodka. Haven't tried water of any kind except to clean carts.

Where do I get distilled water lol...is there a process i can do that myself?

Well you can buy it at just about any store, even many convenience stores. Or boil water and collect steam.

on some of the flavors i usually add VG and if i add a decent amount of VG i usually add the Lorann"s flavor thats in the carto to match as close as i can. I like extra flavor anyway not sweet just a nice depth of flavor. you guys know what i mean.

For those of you who dabble in DIY and uses the VK batteries, are you using a different cartridge and atomizer to test out your mixes? I'd think that it's more efficient to drip a couple drops onto an atomizer to test out the flavor/recipe than to fill up a whole cartomizer. Any advice?

I'm not sure how you could "drip" on a cartomizer? But I have never had anything with a separate atomizer so I may just be clueless

I think some people drip into the battery end of the cartomizer.

I have had good success filling with straight VG in VK carts, but it takes a while.... 5 drops, spin, five more drops, spin again etc..... HUGE vapor production though!

hey Imposter what i do is this when i am doing DIY and dont know how its gonna turn out i use my M401 3 piece. i then drip onto the aty. Then if i dont get good enough taste i go outside and dip for a bit and actually vape about 2 to 3 smokes. Then i adjust my mix if need be and then once the liquid is how i want it then i fill the cartomiser.
If you dont have another e-cig just use 3 to 4 drops into the cartomizer. i havent done that but i think it would work not sure. Hope this helps

can you get vg at say hobby lobby or where?
i could check my local health food store, i also need to get a syringe, im not sure where to buy it.

That's what I do when I have to completely eliminate PG.

I use McCormick’ cinnamon to add a bit of flavor (and I really like it) to my VG but it has PG in which after long periods of time, will irritate my mouth & throat.

I gave myself a little break before winter hit just so I could use it just in case PG does keep the germs away.

Starwest Botanicals Vegetable Glycerin - 4 fl oz - Vitacost

I get my VG here. It costs 4.99 to ship, though. I just ordered mine rather than trying to run around this one horse town and find the stuff. I got it in a couple of days.

Been mixing some VG into my juice and it really makes for a lot of vapor, I'm more into vapor and flavor than throat hits. If I don't add too much VG, I don't have to use any water to cut it. It doesn't take much VG to improve vapor, I put maybe 10 drops into a 5ml bottle of juice and I can see a big difference. I also add some Lorann's flavoring drops if I want to punch up the taste after adding the VG.

You don't need a syringe with a needle on it for mixing, you can use one without and probably can get one at a pharmacy if you ask them for it. I already have a bunch because of all the doctoring of animals I do here, you might even ask your vet for one if you have animals.

Just buy a couple of 901 attys. They screw right onto the VK bats and PTs.
