Tonight is my first ever try

Into the world of making/mixing your own liquids.....
OK so its not exactly a mix as it's my first attempt so it is with just one flavour (Capella Boston Cream Pie)
I tried to achieve 5ml of 18mg 60PG/40VG using the following.....
34 drops of PG Nicotine base 52mg
46 drops of VG
20 drops of Capella....
I have absoulely no idea on the finished results strenght after vaping a few draws on my vivi nova but it seems very very strong indeed not so much in flavour or throat hit but it seems to have my head spinning as if I'm high ??
Have I gone wrong somewhere or do I just simply add some more VG or PG to lessen the head rush ?

[vicuk]

you had to add pg

[kirrielad]

I'd recommend leaving it at least a couple of days before you try it, give it time to bed the flavour in. I'd also recommend a better team

[davey]

On top of the 46 drops of VG or an equal amount ie 23 drops of each ?
Sorry but this is new ground to me.....

Which calculator have you used Davey?

Davey, try using a mixing calculator to work it out

How did you work out the % Davey?

[kirrielad]

Your amounts look right to me for the pg/VG ratio your after, the flavouring is carried in PG so you have to take that into account. Leave it a couple days try it again, and them start tweaking would be your best bet mate

Although looks like you're working to 20 drops = 1ml, are all your droppers the same size? Different liquid has different velosity so can through your mix out slightly.

Breakthru's is the one to go for ( sorry Vic ) . . . Ejuice me up is about the best there is IMO.

I've just done a calculation with it, working on 30 drops to 1ml as I think that's a more accurate drop/ml calculation and have worked on 15% flavouring.

This is the recipe:

52 drops Nic Base
16 drops PG
60 drops VG
22 drops Flavouring @ 15%

Yes the 20 drops =1ml theory although I didn't achieve 5ml more like just under 4...
Going to add a few drops of PG and leave it overnight and see what its like tomorrow.....
The flavour is great set at 8watts on my vamo just it seems far too strong hence the head spin.....

[davey]

Thanks guys / gals for all the help.....

Gonna save myself a fortune once I get the hang of it lol....
