Haven't even started and messed up?

[Mrsmac]

Hey all thought I would start with a simple mix using the concentrate of my favourite juice juice. I then ordered some nicotine base...first error!

I ordered 12mg nicotine in PG base which means I will not be able to get my desired nicotine level as I vape 12mg and will need to dilute with flavour.

Second mistake, unless I want to vape 100% PG, I will need to dilute it further.

Now, my question is, have I made a third mistake? Can I use the Glycerin pictured below?

[Greg]

If it's 100% glycerine then it's fine, check ingredients on bottle Mrsmac

[Mrsmac]

It says 100% glycerol with no added ingredients, can that possibly mean I may be good to go?

[teethcv]

thats what i use its fine

[lairey]

Mrsmac, firstly, you can get over your little mistakes, no worry, you just need to get some more nic base. Depending on what mix you prefer, I would buy another bottle of nic base, same size, but 36mg 100% VG, then combine the 2, to give you 24mg 50/50. No problem then to get your 12mg result as 50% of any mix will be your base.

And yes, that VG you have is fine

Thank you so much guys, I am so excited to start, I couldn't be bothered to wait to go to boots to get the Eco mended one so went to a local chemist when picking up a prescription. I think I may try a 80/20 mis but lower the nicotine to about 8, I usually vape 12. Just going to make a 5ml bottle and see how it goes lol I know I probably didn't get the best deal on nic base but just wanted to order form someone I usually order stuff from.

Has anyone tried liquid crystal base?

[teethcv]

when you say 80/20 do you mean pg/vg or vg/pg? 80/20 pg/vg it pritty stong lol

There are a few concentrates such as this one that doesn't need much so wouldn't dilute your 12% nic base by much

or you could just mentholate it with a wee tiny bit of menthol crystal

Just buy some stronger nic base and mix with the nic base you have.
Say you already have 100ml of 12mg if you buy another 100ml of 36mg
Mix both together will give you 200ml of 24mg giving you some room to work with
As for the glycerine i would make sure it was pharmaceutical grade

Think i've been too slow

[Mrsmac]

Oh is 80/20 not a good idea then, maybe I shall stick to the 70/30 that I usually order lol

Thank you Karma will have a look at those concentrates, I had it in my mind to try some of their concentrates as that is where I got the nic base from lol

Am I right in thinking joosejuice are around 15%? I also have a flavourart one and an Inawera one all in the same flavour to try out!

I use the Superdrug Glycerin, £1.29 for 200ml, 100% pure, no added extras, works fine, although it is very viscous so take the needle off your syringe and pour the glycerin into a cup first, then suck it up from there, much easier.

[Pepperty]

Inawera concentrates are generally very strong so if you have any, it'll be only 3 - 5% flavoring so you won't dilute your nicotine base too much

[Mrsmac]

Oh that's great about the Inawera thank you pep

[djs]

I use that glycerin (sometimes...)

I also mix 80/20 given the choice.

Then again, I am a little odd......

[Mrsmac]

I take it that 80/20 is really not that popular lol I just thought if I lowered the nic and upped the GP, I shouldn't notice too much in the way of throat hit difference
