    Cant seem to find this in stock on any of the irish websites.

    Its basically Vg liquid base , which is used to dilute down any of the other standard e liquids.

    It used to be on the best shop , but cant find it anywhere now.

    Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    You can buy it in any boots chemist if your near one and its just vegetable glycerine without the nicotine your after. its quite thick so you'd need some distilled water as well possibly. They call it refined glycerine and its from a company called ultrapure, its is food grade stuff as I had the pharmacist check to make sure before I bought it.

    I got a 150ml bottle of it in there about 3 months ago for 3 or 4 euros I cant remember exactly how much it was.

    actually on further googling im also seeing people saying deionised

    i always assumed it was deionised so you wouldnt have your eliquid carrying current around..

    dunno though, maybe either works fine

    Distilled water would be more pure so personally I'd go that way. Distilled water would also be deionised.

    You probably wouldn't need it though if your using it to dilute down an existing juice. Pure VG on it's own is very thick, but once you're mixing it with something else it becomes manageable enough.

    yes this would be the plan to just use it to dilute an existing e liquid flavour.

    I'v used this and it's fine. Theirs an Inawera VG also but afaik it has a percentage water already added.
    Both Boots and McCauleys treated me with suspicion and said they didn't stock PG or VG in larger than 20 ml bottles, I was told by someone who worked in a chemist that PG is on a watch list since time began because it's an ingredient in home made explosives. I think this may not be true but you never know :)

    PG + Nitric Acid = Kaboom (one step below nitroglycerin)

    So says the Google anyway.
