I just recently dug into my 1 month steeped pure VG of Legend, HA, Serendipity, HT, and Huntsman. All are 15mg. I was having a tough time getting the Legend and Serendipity to wick well in my DID. After swapping out the tank with HT, it was like night and day, and all was right in the rba universe. Does anyone else have any input pertaining to VG thickness among HHV tobacco blends? I noticed HT is lighter in color and less viscous. Jus sayin'

I don't vape 100% VG from HHV (used to vape 100% VG from another vendors). But all accounts from the other 100% HHV VG vapers is that it is thinner than most and they have no trouble vaping it in anything Can't speak directly to the differences in juice devices but I'm certain someone will be along.

Been using mostly RBA's at home, but I like to use carto tanks too. Especially slim tanks on an Ego Twist when I'm out and about. For that reason I'm going to a 50/50 mix for my next order. I have 450ml being processed this week:)

You can add a few drops of distilled water to a bottle to thin it out without compromising on flavor. HHV 100%VG liquids are thinner than most other vendors but if it's too thick for your RBA I would ask you what king of mesh you're using. Without diluting your juice, #500 mesh might be too fine for 100%VG. You could try #400 and have better wicking with thick juices. I've seen people use #350 with the really thick stuff but I don't think you'd have to go that low.

Thanks X. I forgot about distilled water as an option. I have #400 mesh. The Serendipity I have seems to be as thick as Boba's in a side by side comparison, just a few shades lighter in color.

Be careful with that distilled water. A very little goes a long way. Personally, I have not had good results thinning juice with distilled water.

Let's say 1 drop for 20ml of vg? Can you elaborate on why you had poor results with distilled water?

If you must dilute to reduce viscosity, distilled water is the best solution (as opposed to PGA or PG). Bronze is right in saying that a little goes a long way but if you do 1 drop at a time, shake it up and test it, you won't do harm. Most 100%VG juices on the market are diluted with water during processing. Don't test it on a 30ml bottle. Test with a 10ml bottle and add 1 drop. When you find success, write down your formula. Only dilute large bottles when you're positive the result gives you the proper viscosity without compromising flavor.

I really need to try some %100 VG HHV juice on my next order. I used to vape pure VG and had nothing but issues with wicking in my clearos and other devices, plus the throat hit just wasn't there for me. I know usually vape 70/30 or 80/30 PG/VG, but I've since then gotten into dripping, SS Mesh, cotton, and other methods out of the normal clearo & pre-punched carto tanks.

I've been hearing that the HHV pure VG is quite thinner than most other company's. I mos def need to remember to at least get 1 bottle of pure VG from my next HHV order. my devices have changed, and i'm sure my taste buds have as well so it's worth another shot at the pure VG world.

This thread is a little old, but I'll chime in since I haven't seen this mentioned yet.

I have no idea how much of a difference this would make as I'm still new to HHV juices and don't vape 100% VG, but all of the juices mentioned are from the Purity line except for HT. So, even with the 100% VG option selected, HT may still have some PG in it from the flavoring.

I haven't tried any HHV juices in my LavaGen yet, but I did notice that with HHV juices (especially the Purity line) in carto tanks, I need to make my punches a little larger to allow proper wicking. This is with my standard 70/30 PG/VG mix. I know that one of my other main vendors uses PG based nicotine and flavoring, so I figure that may play a role in it.

I get 100% VG in all my HHV juice and I don't have any wicking problems with any of them, in any of my devices.

Momma always said never trust a monkey, but since I know the monkey I don't think it counts. Now, I just have to decide which juice to try for my first pure VG HHV order.

try virgin vapor. They use all organic 100 VG with no pg flavoring. All of there juices are thinned out so you dont have to worry about wicking issues.

Well, they cost roughly twice as much as HHV, and their new NET (which is MORE than twice as much as HHV) got really bad reviews, so since I mostly vape NETs, I'll pass if it's okay with you. :)
