| I've been vaping for a while and I've found another question that the google searches dont seem to help with very well...I currently vape a 50/50 blend for juice...though with the clearomizers that I use it seems like its a bit thick and doesn't wick the way it should...so is there a way I could "water down" the liquid to make it a bit thinner, and for future reference is there a blend that makes for a thinner liquid? Any help with this is as always greatly appreciated and thanks for your patience with me...I only seem to come to this forum when I got questions. |

| Goaro,
50/50 PG/VG blends from different vendors have different thicknesses.
Not very standardized.
A percent or two of distilled water (or from a freshly opened Dasani  ) will thin a 50/50 a little.
Dispense a small amount of your e-juice and put about one drop of water for each 3ml of juice. No need to be super accurate but don't over do it. Once too thin, it's almost impossible to thicken it back up. One drop per ml would be too much unless it is really really thick. Thick juice is usually reserved for 'dripping' into attys not cartomizers.
1 or 2 percent of water will not impact the flavor much at all. You'll still have 98 to 99 percent of the flavor.
and nic strength will be reduced by 1 to 2 percent (18mg/ml reduced to 17.6mg/ml)

| I seem to remember some rocket scientist-type fellow posted a viscosity test a while back that showed a 15-20% ratio of water to VG perfectly matched the viscosity of PG... now if I could just remember which thread it was in... maybe it was the one that started with electronic components and ended with russian girls on tractors... or was it the one that started with girls on tractors and ended in a component discussion?
...ahhh flip it. Just go with what Rocky said.  | |

| I'll try the drop or two of water into my mix...I got a few spare bottles floating about the house now "after seeing how many bottles I actually own now I would hate to see my room after a year or so of vaping...I might actually throw one or two of these away now" a few are nice 3 ml and will make decent test bottles....thanks | |

| We in Russia can easily achieve both russian girls and russian tractors, but separately. To compose them is a little difficult task. They prefer BMWs  You in US are much more lucky...
Concerning water in e-liquid: 1-2 percent of water does not harm liquid, but makes it "milder", no burning taste. Also less risk to overheat glycerine. I always add a few drops of water to approx 10 ml bottle.

Put the rice in a damn bowl! Then you hold the bowl up to your face and shovel it with the chopsticks!
Even in the restaurants they do this!

And it "usually" tastes better if its cook correctly...
American grown rice separates like sand and is a PITA to eat with chop sticks!!
So kudos TK for showing her how its done, man! | |
