Good evening all, following the short humorous interlude, back to the original subject.
One thing we have not touched on in our discussions on density / viscosity of liquids is Aqueous VG.
The problem with this is that suppliers do not put density figures on their product description.
Coupled with the fact that I have recently noticed that some are not even stating the percentage of water that has been mixed with the VG.
Obviously this is an important factor in even our own small mixes, let alone industrial sized.
Last year someone that I knew made large mixes, as he had a lot of friends he supplied.
A couple of his recipes needed to use Aqueous VG as a lot of the customers who liked it preferred their juice to be low in PG, but thin enough to wick in a stock coil tank.
So he contacted me for some advice as he knew I had made quite a few mixes with Aqueous VG (in fact I think it was myself who introduced him to it).
His problem was that he had purchased some new materials, started to mix one of his standard recipes, and now had something that seem closer to water than juice in his mixing pot.
I said simple, just add some more VG till it seems to be the same viscosity as the other batches you have done.
He said, hesaid I might just ditch this, and start again, I will need to buy some VG whatever, as I now have 5 litres of this shit in a bucket.
Hence now if I want thinner juice, rather than using Aqueous VG, I use normal VG, and add a percentage if Pharma grade water.
As I say this was a year or so ago, but since then I have noticed companies advertising Aqueous VG, but with percentages of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and some not even stating what the percentage is.
So if you do ever use it, make sure exactly what you are buying.
