Hey I wanted to know what the purpose is of putting distilled water in your e liquid when u make it? Does it have any effect on flavor. And it seems like I have to use over 20 percent flavoring on almost all the flavors I make to even really taste it. I usually make 50/50 flavors. I use capella flavor drops.

DW is good for thinning thick VG juices. There are some vendors who pre-thin 100% VG's and are ready to vape without clogging carts. A few drops of DW goes a long way.

I get regular glycerin at the drug store - Humco is the main brand - and add 15 % water to it to get the right consistency for me. That's 15% of the vg, so if your mix is 50/50 pg/vg, it would be 50% of 15%, or 7.5%. Better to add a little less water to start, as you can always add more. Good luck!
