Now, I bought a kit off of Liquidbarn, and in said kit it specified that I would get a bottle of USP grade VG and PG, yet the kit only came with PG and a PG base Nicotine. I know how to mix and whatnot, but since I'm low on cash at the moment I can't afford to go get a bottle of VG. Any suggestions on Mixing ratios for 100% PG juices?
Contact them and they'll ship it. $3-4 for some at Wallie World. Kinda screwed until you get some.
They wanna charge me because they're oh so positive that they added it in the kit. But I'll head to Walmart tomorrow to pick it up. How much are typically in the Walmart bottles? I usually only buy the 575ml offline and haven't bought from a local store at all.
Regardless if you get VG or not in the meantime, I'd still argue them to hell in back so long as you ordered VG. If you ordered VG, it's bullshit for them to say they packaged it and not ship you out a bottle. That's just basic customer service shit. VG is cheap, shipping is relatively cheap. It's not like you're saying you didn't receive your 16oz bottle of FLV Alpine Strawberry when they have pics of them packing it.
Just a heads up don't buy what Walmart has listed as glycerine. In Canada you have to get them to order vegetable glycerine for you to pickup at a later date and the only thing on the shelves is labeled as glycerine, it's thick like VG so it fooled me because people on here always say "hey go to Walmart, they have it" but the bottles listed as just glycerine contain animal fats which you don't want.
177 mls. You can get it at CVS or Rite Aid as well. Just cost ya twice as much as WW. It'll be in the skin care section. Weird off LB to shade on ya. Usually great customer service. Wonder if someone died and now their POS nephew who would fuck up a wet dream is in charge now? Bad publicity for something that costs them pennies.
Hi u/shad0w_jpg,
I have checked with our customer service team to figure out who told you that you're wrong and that we definitely sent VG. It is our policy to not reject any claims like that unless we have definitive proof. I apologize if this was a mistake on our end with your order and also if you were not taken care of by our customer service team. Unfortunately, i haven't been able to identify your customer service ticket but would be more than happy to look into this for you to make it right. If you dont mind, please PM me your order number and I will take care of this right away.
If you also happen to recall who you dealt with when contacting us, please let me know. I apologize again for any inconvenience we may have cause. We hope this doesn't deter you from enjoying DIY.
Thank you to u/Smacksonice for the tag.
I will contact you once I am home, I am currently at work at the moment. Thank you so much for responding!!
Hey /u/Shad0w_jpg wanted to follow up with you. I never received more info from you to help with your order.
I've made pure PG liquids because it allows you to put very high concentrations of CBD and hash oil (personal use). It isn't good. It works, but it doesn't work well. I personally feel like when you get it hot it has this throat hit that feels like you're actually burning the PG. Get VG.
Trust me, I understand broke vaping. Not everybody needs to spend $100+ on a device and then even more just to keep using it.
I know I'll keep rocking china cloned atomizers, bulk cotton/mixing materials, legit 18650s and legit mods.
My recommendation is find some friends/people who are already getting ripped off by shops and match or undercut them. Have them pay for your bottle of VG, and give them a bunch of mixed bottles in exchange.
I mean that's how people sell drugs...
I've been hustling legal wares since I landed in this town.
You can get 100mL bottles for ~$10-$20, but I still think most spend more for products which are in demand.
If the bottles from Wal-Mart are from the company Humco, the glycerin is vegetable based. And it is 99.5% anhydrous. USP grade only requires 95%, which means up to 5% water. Bad news is: you may have get distilled water to add a few drops for thinning purposes if you don't use high enough PG ratio with it.... depending upon the vaping device (pods, coil-heads with small juice holes, etc).
Also, none of this will be a problem unless someone has PG allergies. I mix using 65/35 VG. I believe some here use as high as 50% PG. Anything more than that and your throat will regret it.
Amazon vg works great I have used it forever and ove tried the other sites multiple ones and saw zero difference.. I believe it's called essential depot.. 2 day shipping.. Definitely don't wanna mix without vg considering it's 70 or 80 percent of your whole mix every time
If you're desperate, send me a PM and I might be able to ship you a small amount of VG to tide you over.
Walmart seems to charge anywhere from $16-32 for a gallon of VG. It's usually closer to $15/gal online.
Regarding LB, it is very disappointing that they wouldn't try and make things right, sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I'd be more persistent and potentially threaten a chargeback if they are adamant that they sent it to you.
Well you can mix 100% PG but it is generally a bad idea :)
-
Viscosity - VG is much more viscous than PG meaning pure PG is more likely to leak in some gear.
-
Vapor - VG makes the thick clouds, not the PG. You will burn through a tank in no-time with virtually no vapor.
-
Health - don't fully recall the reasons now, but I believe PG can break down into aldehydes easier than VG, meaning 100% PG juice could maybe be a little worse for your health, assuming you ignore 1 and 2 :D
I mix my juice as 70% VG and 30% PG. Great compromise between flavor and clouds and wicks well in most gear. If 70/30 doesn't work for you, 50/50 is as low as I would recommend you go (50/50 is a bit more prone to leaks in my sub-ohm RTA) :)
