no, you’re right. my bad. the last mix i did was yesterday right before i started the thread. and i started with VG and PG only, then stirred, still clear - after the side-by-side test, this was how i confirmed it was the VG - i think i mentioned this correctly in the first post so let me correct it again here (thank you for catching that)
it was only when i add “anything” that the mix starts getting yellowish … and that’s what confused me originally and got me to suspect it was either the flavors or the nic.
I honestly don’t know. If it were me, there would be an internal war being waged. One part of me, the cheap skate, would be like; " don’t throw it away, you paid money for it " the other part of me, the cautious side, would be like; " you don’t want to get ill, your a big baby when your ill " The other couple of personalities will pick sides.
I have seen liquids turn to golden yellow right after the mix but for me was the combination with specific flavours that make it happen. When I add the nic which is diluted in VG turn to this yellow just after I stirr it.
This is real fine VG. I’ve also tried soy glycerin and I believe there is coconut derived glycerine. Palm based glycerin from the gly cube is the best from everything I’ve ever used. Palm is also a little sweeter and thicker than that of soy btw
Thanks for the tip! I just placed my order for 4g. They are honoring the discount until 10pm EST. Shipping is around $20 to FL, but I had to try the Best VG in the States!
Does this stuff perform/taste better than the average vendors’ VG, or is it more about the transparency of specs/method?
Dr. Bo sez… take on of those inflatable rafts the kids use at the beach (single width) …inflate …put in bathtub (large tub with handicap rails ) Get in with Significant Other. Poor over your heads and try to hold on as tight as you can (see? handicap rails?) Safety First!
Step 2. Order VG from someone else or report Lot# to Vendor and let us know how that went
It’s been years since I tried any other VG. When I first learned of a glycube I had only purchased maybe 1 gallon total of VG. I was really quite new to DIY and didn’t even know there was a difference.
So I will be interested to see if it “performs” better.
BTW for 5 dollars a month, you can become a greener life member and always get a discount on your PG and VG.
Interesting … I’ll have to check into that… So many things have VG and PG in them , b4 vaping I had NO clue what either were or what the were used for .
thanks all for your thoughts and suggestions … all good ideas
just did another side-by-side test - so just for the records and others in future if someone sees the same thing, took a picture and sharing it here with you guys …
these are both fresh mixes just done now - exactly the same recipe. a simple SB cheesecake with 1% nic - 60/40 mix.
the bottle on the left is the VG being investigated - the bottle on the right is the last of an old VG from another brand that i had - i placed an order for some other VG but have to wait till next week to get it - i hope the pic shows OK.
