This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Diluting 50 times you'd need one hell of an amount of "dilution formula".
It's called water
Pure water will work for a couple of percentage points but above that will not work properly because atomisers expect a certain range of viscosity or they won't wick properly. It's generally a mix of propylene glycol, glycerine, and water. More glycerine means more clouds, natural sweetness, and annoying hygroscopy (i.e. you'll get a dry mouth), while PG is an aroma carrier, less sweet, quite a bit less hygroscopic. It's also the standard solvent for nicotine and aroma, not just vape aromas most food aromas are PG-based, too. Water is there to make the liquid less viscous and/or reduce hygroscopy of the overall mixture.
It's eazy to buy:
10 liters - you will never need to buy again.
For those who literally just got a pic in Russian - this is a 10L (12,5kg) canister of 99,8% pure food-grade glycerol
Автор, не забывай, что по-русски тут почти никто не говорит :D
Это добавляло таинственности "разбавителю". Вроде канистра, а вроде и не понятно.
Вообще ещё лучше было бы, если на канистре была бы написана или изображена формула. Подсказка для знающих химию, но не знающих русский.
Хитроумно)
Why?
Let's say the original bottle contained 100ml of liquid at a concentration of 50%. You want to want to bring the final concentration down to 1%. You take a new bottle with 98ml of "dilution formula" (probably water) and add 2 ml of the original concentration to it. You now have a liquid with 1% concentration.
