Hey guys!
Looking to conduct a little experiment with my juice and adding some distilled water (about 1-3%) to some juice. Just went to the shops and lo and behold there was no distilled water to be had, but I picked up a bottle of pure/purified water as that was the closest thing I could find. Did a bit of research on it and going by what I have read, I believe I may be able to substitute the purified water for distilled.
Anyhow, just looking for some input from anyone more in the know on the subject than I am, as to if I can use properly purified water (as per the definitions found via Google) in the same way I might use distilled water in a recipe? Cheers in advance :)
Whats the benifits of putting water in your juice?
Thin out max VG juice that has no PG in it other than the flavorings. It improves wicking.
Thanks for the reply, but why not just add some PG to thin the juice rather than water.
Some people have a sensitivity to PG, so distilled water is a good replacement for juice that's too thick for their tank. For others it's just personal preference. Some people are going to for biggest clouds, so max VG with a touch of distilled water apparently works better than max VG with a touch of PG in terms of cloud production.
Me personally, I just use PG.
Distilled water uses distillation, purified uses reverse osmosis, ozonation and other processes, and demineralized water uses deionization. They're all completely different kinds of water.
Allegedly, demineralized/deionized/DI water is the best to use for e-liquid. Water that has been both distilled and deionized would obviously be the best, but good luck finding it.
Ahh ok so you'd recommend the demineralized water over the purified water? Honestly couldn't believe that my local shopping complex didn't have distilled water in any of the shops haha.
I know of at least a couple commercial juice companies that make PG-free juices and use "demi water" as opposed to distilled water. Demi water is just another name for demineralized.
It definitely is crazy about the distilled water though. I don't have any trouble finding it where I live. I guess I kind of am a special circumstance though. My place of work has distilled water on tap for one of the things they dilute. I can fill up as much as I want for free.
Are you using all VG flavors and no PG added at all?
No, the experiment isnt to just thin out all VG liquid though if that's what you're getting at.
What's the experiment? Because that's what distilled water is used for
I've read some anecdotal reports of people having success improving their vaping experience when suffering from uniquely extended periods of olfactory fatigue due to abnormally dry mouths and nasal passageways regardless of their hydration level etc. A stretch, hence why it being an experiment :)
