A mixologist, is in order here...I wouldn't use MUCH 'water'...
Ive been using about 5 percent....too thin is no good but neither is too thick...Find the happy medium where you dont wick too fast and flood or too thick and get dry hits.
If youre doing 10 percent now i would add very little from there if its still too thick for you....I can tell you this much though, adding too much destroys your batch you just made...Im using a mix of vg and distilled i made too thin and using it as the dilute.
10 percent is about the going percentage for most, i hear.

I like using 7%. I wouldn't go any higher than 10%.
ok, well i'll experiment with it, the reason i ask is my mom is running a nautilus mini. I have a dripper and nautilus and notice that the dripper has no problem, but the nautilus has a hard time running max vg. So, i'm trying to keep her away from as much pg as possible as she is undergoing cancer treatment and it makes her already dry mouth, dryer when there is pg in it, so i was hoping to be able to cut it with more water, maybe 1-2% more, you think that might do it?
Im really not an expert on this but just try it in added small amounts above what you feel isnt working right in the tank untill it works...it may only take .5% more water...I dont have a nautilus tank so i really have no clue what will make it work.
The mistake i made was thinking i could do a 50 50 mix with water and vg and i was way off on this working....the vg turned to water pretty much...so i use it now as my mix to thin vg instead of throwing it out....50 percent water was waaayyyyyyy tooo much...lol
I dont think adding 1 percent more to test would be so bad...if its too thin then you know to add less..do small sample mixes so you dont waste 60ml of vg like i did..lol
ok, will do guys, thanks for the suggestions! I'll post back what seems like will work after I experiment

Or you could just get a sub ohm tank and rock vg max!
i have one
but my mom doesn't, she won't use one, but yes, that would certainly solve it if that were the only problem 
I would not recommend going over 10% at all. You really don't want to go over 20% combined thinners+flavorings. You might try using something like 6-7% water and 3-4% grain alcohol as long as the added throat hit isn't too harsh for her. The grain alcohol is a more efficient thinner and would be the equivalent of increasing the water without going over the 20% magic number.
ok, so another question, off my own topic, but semi-related is vodka safe to vape? i've seen a spot for it in the ejuice calc, just didn't seem like it would be safe?
EDIT: nvm found a post on it!!

not sure what you mean here? as water is 100% water lol, so I should consider vodka at 60% and disregard the alcohol? you confused me here
ahh gotcha ok,ty!
