VG & PG Mixing questions

[dgreen]

So how many of you mix VG & PG together to make your juice?

How many of you just use VG cut with water or vodka?

Looking for some simple guidance before I start mixing my own liquid. I will be adding 0 Nicotine so I want to make sure I get some throat hit which I hoping will come from the vodka.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I use a PG nic liquid and cut it with VG plain liquid. I've realized tho, that some of these flavors I come up with are SOOOOO good, that I vape WAY too much!! So I want to also mix some up with very little or no nic, but I NEED throat hit. I've tried 0 nic without it and there is NO satisfaction at all in it. I might actually get off my lazy booty tomorrow and head to town to pick up some vodka for that purpose.

I've heard the TH is great with it, but I don't know if that's just with nic or 0 nic..??

I wish someone else would chime in here.

I'm still experimenting myself, but I like a 60/40 mix of PG/VG. I did try adding 5% vodka to 0 nic mix & there is a noticeable TH... or @ least what I consider a TH. Don't know what ratios work the best yet, I confuse myself too easily. LOL

VG or PG provide better throat hit?

PG gives me a slightly better throat hit.

Can someone tell me why people add water instead of more PG.

To thin down the vg it's realy thick and bad on attys that thick.

So if I really want to thin out a PG/VG mix I should use water, and if I just want to thin it out a bit, I should use PG, is that correct?

LMT,

What you described will work. Use vodka instead of water if you want a little more throat hit.

I use a lot of VG and like to thin it down before adding it.

Using an old 30ml juice bottle, I put in 6ml of distilled water then begin adding VG. (the VG is in a 4-oz plastic bottle with a flip-up spout on the cap; real easy to use, just squirt some out.) Add some VG to the juice bottle, cap the bottle and shake well, add some more, shake, etc. until it's full.

Heat thins the VG and helps the mixing; you can stand the bottle in a pan of warm water for a few minutes, then shake it some more.

If I want to make my base 10% VG and 90% PG, do I need to thin the vg out with water, or will the PG take care of it?

Thanks!

The mixture will be thicker than PG alone, but thin enough to use.

One of the reasons to thin VG before use is to make it easier to measure.

Im gonna start DIY next week, and I'd like to put in a little VG for some more vapor, but not so much as to hurt TH.

Just wondering how to go about that. VERY excited to save money AND make my own flavors!
