Hi I bought some boots vegetable glycerine but could I hell find any distilled water as it is way to thick by its self. So a friend of mine owns a tattoo shop and he had some distilled water but this stuff he uses is for cleaning instruments in a autoclave. Could any one look at this pdf and see if it safe. It does say PH balanced distilled grade water on the 5 litre bottle http://www.vet-way.com/wp-content/files_...ersion.pdf

Thanks all

 
I find the boots vg fine in a 50/50 mix all my nic base and flavours are pg based so it balances out quite nice

did you ask the pharmacist i think they have it behind the counter normally in quite large bottles
 
Yeah I tried every were. It just seems quite gloppy compared to the normal vg I buy from lte cigs. I guess It cant kill me its only distilled grade water. I could of grabbed some deinonized from Halfords but I thought distilled was better
 
I use the boots vg and find that once mixed with pg nic base, pg and flavourings it's fine. I generally mix my juices at either 60/40 or 50/50 pg/vg ratio.
 
I have in the past diluted my Boots VG with 5-10% vodka. Not that I do a lot of home mixing in order to have a basis for comparison, but it does seem to create absolute clouds and clouds and intensify flavours.
 
Distilled water is readily available on the web in various quantities, I bought a 5 litre bottle of Pharma grade purified water from my chemist, they ordered it in for me at £3.80.
I use 15 ml of the purified with 85 ml of boots VG to mix a 100 ml bottle, the consistency is just fine and it Vapes perfectly well.
 
But what's every ones thoughts on this distilled water. If its used for cleaning tools in a autoclave its got to be OK maybe lol
 
I would expect it to be safer than deionised water from Halfords - there are likely to still be a lot of contaminants in deionised water, especially battery grade. In practice you're better off getting some from a pharmacy though.
 
Yeah tried boots, local chemist no joy. Just thought I would try a friend how owns a tattoo shop and he gave me 5 litres as I was getting a bit low on my sherbet lemon
