I'm running low on VG.. I used Humco originally - it was alright. And then I bought a big bottle from NicVape several months ago when they were having a huge sale. NV's VG is thick and syrupy. At least the batch I got was. My roommates was simliar. He ordered his about a week after I received mine. I usually mix at 70/30 pg/vg and would prefer a thinner blend.

There's nothing wrong with how it tastes, and the vapor is huge. It just requires me to clean my atty's more often than when I've used pre-mixed blends.

Anyone out there tried other VG vendors? Maybe you have a recommendation that won't break the bank.

Cheers.

VG is supposed to be thick and syrupy . SOme vendors Prethin it with DW . I buy CVS VG which is super thick and syrupy and thin with 10% DW .

Not sure if RTS still sells Prethinned VG . I think they may have stopped unless it was just the VG nic they stopped thinning . I like my mixes at around 60/40 or 70/30 VG/PG

I agree with Str8 about the VG being thick and surupy. That's the way it is supposed to be.

You could also try mixing at 80%PG/20%VG. That would thin your juice out without adding water or PGA. That is the mix ratio some juice vendors use, especially the Chinese. It would have less vapor but a longer shelf life.

Good luck!

Maybe I just need to thin it a little. As it sits, my VG is so thick (even in a 80/20 blend) that it looks like the flavors are having a hard time blending without excess shaking (more than usual). You can see the VG very clearly in the blend and it looks like a thick, oily film inside a transparent container. It smokes good and tastes great though. It looks nothing like the juice I've purchased from vendors which actually HAS a watery consistency at 60/40 even, but I assumed it was just NV's VG since it's the only kind I've purchased since I began DIY.

Thanks for all the help! ;)
