Diluting VG

[Sarin]

I have a picture of nasty lung infecting bacteria tiptoeing across a hot coil ... assuming they first survive swimming around in a juice mix containing PG.

It's not the ones tiptoeing across a hot coal that you want to be worried about, it's the ones that are sitting on the nicely warm cotton each side of the coal

Sarin and scrumpox thanks for your comments. Yeah that's what I thought Sarin. I just assumed that because all these companies sell it.diluted then that is how it's meant to be used as in your method above, but if you're not doing a 100 percent VG liquid then it's fine to use it pure. Which means I don't have to dilute at all. My risk of legionnaires has plummeted. I work as a genetic epidemiologist in lung function so I'm going to have a sneaky look at some more medical articles around it tomorrow but thanks for them! And my needles worked fine scrumpox 30 ml of.my gorgeous strawberry and cream waiting for me to vape. Happy days.

You're a mine of information tonight ... are you saying don't lick your wicks, Sarin?

It's not really my area of expertise tbh but there is plenty of info on the subject.

Yes but not because of the risk of a lung infecting nasty, more the fact that burnt tongue is not nice

... am I wasted here?

All I could find today after hawking round the shops was de-ionised water. I take it it's ok to use?

save the effort...

Pan of boiling water with the lid on, remove the lid every couple of minutes and let the steam off the lid trickle into droplets.
Collect the droplets, distilled water.

Distilled water is so cheap man - you can get a big bottle of it for like a buck (well, a pound for you I guess lol)

Well I was wrong in thinking that VG needs pre diluting before using with the PG. I have used pure 100% VG in a 60/40 PG/VG mix and it vapes and tastes lovely.


Problem solved!

Yep, my suggestion was just a 'rough and ready' way to get instant distilled water, I'd buy a bottle.
