Sorry for posting about commercial juices here, but you guys and gals are the most knowledgeable folks that I know.
A customer came into the store talking about how he loves PJ Bros. juice because it's so thick. He said that it's formulated "super thick for hardcore vapers who drip only". I bought a bottle and was expecting it to flow like pudding or something, which it didn't. I noticed that the juice was really hard to draw up into the dropper. The dropper itself was smaller than most of the other ones in my commercial juice collection, I grabbed a different dropper and it seems seems no thicker than any other juice in my collection.
So my question: Is there a way to make your juice thicker than others on the market? I know that it can be diluted to make it thinner if you are having wicking issues, but I've never heard of anyone making their juice thicker on purpose. If it's possible, how are they doing it? Does it get thicker as it steeps?
Moar VG
Yeah this, also using 100%VG flavourings. That way you can get 100%VG juice. Not my cup o tea, but I am sure it is good for clouds.
I find, as far as "clouds" go, that higher VG mixes have diminishing returns. After a certain point (70-80% VG) it starts to wick too slowly to create any more vapor and I notice a decrease in vapor production at that point. Just thought I'd throw my $0.02 in there.

I would not be shocked if PJ Bros. intentionally chose those skinny droppers to give the illusion of higher viscosity.
- Farm-raised salmon are fed pigment so the meat is more "pink" and is appealing to consumers.
- Meat is often injected with saline to, among other reasons, increase weight.
- Apples are coated in wax so they look nicer on the shelves.
- Oranges are sprayed with dye to look more appealing.
Probably a very high VG level for clouds as others have mentioned. I wonder what concentrations of flavouring and sucralose are in that juice so it stays as tasty as a more evenly balanced PG/VG juices. VG doesnt tend to carry flavour as well as PG, but is somewhat sweet on its own and is the main reason for bigger visible clouds from vaping a juice. IMO if you want flavour and don't have a reason to blow big clouds (not saying that cant be fun sometimes!) go for a more even 50/50 mix, or for good clouds and enough pg to carry flavour, 30pg/70vg
