Thinning VG heavy mixes - vodka or water ?

[JEM]

What do most people use ? I've tried my hand a a few vg mixes with 20% vodka to thin it but the results are a bit odd. Throat hits a bit harsh for a low Nic content (around10%) and when I vape I get what can only be described as a fizzy sensation on the throat and nostrils ? Great for a lemonade type flavour but not so good with english toffee ! Could this be the vodka, if so i think I'll use water...

i use vodka to help with the throat hit but thats just me

about 4-5%

I was talking to@brian123456 about vodka the other day he recomends no more than 5% or as youve found out throat hit a bit harsh

fizzy sensation? a way to increase throat hit while lowering my nic level? im liking the sound of these, for the first time since i was a teenager im feeling the need to get a bottle of vodka!

That could be the secret sherbet additive lol

Just mixed my third batch of juice with 10% Vodka. Will have to see what it tastes like after it's steeped. The first two batches I just used Nic base and VG. Will let you know the outcome

right ill lower the vodka and try 5%, its tickling my nostrils and making me sneeze now

Use deionised water - you can get this in BP USP quality from chemists. 10% is fairly standard - people go up to 20% for use in cartos.

Do not use tap water as this not completely sterile and second it has a high mineral count and could effect the atomizer!

Righty ho, looks like I've got a day off due to snow, I'm going to head into town and pick up some mixing supplies.
BTW does anyone know anything about 'LIQ' brand flavourings, anyone use them ?
