Am i right or wrong ?

[Grandad]

Hi all

Could someone please tell me if im right or wrong with the calculations on the pic below im trying to do a 60pg 40vg mix with 72mg pg based nic of the lovechild custard but the vg is saying more than the pg is this right for the mix im trying to achive ?

Thanks

Grandad

That looks right. You must remember you have about 25ml of PG because of flavours and nicotine before you add the pure PG.

I can't read your figures from the screenshot Grandad . . . but don't forget your flavourings will also be counted as part of your overall PG ratio to give you the 60/40.

So that probably makes your plain additions look a bit skewy.

Crossed posts with prowler!

Could it be that your flavours should be no pg not 100% pg

Looks spot on Grandad.

You are making 50ml and your nic & flavours are making up almost half of your mix, which are all pg, makes sense that the get to 50/50 you would be adding 25ml vg.

So for your 60/40 20ml is spot on - its the only source of VG where as you have PG in many ingredients.

Hope that makes sense

Thanks for the quick replies prowler Perpetua sorry about the screen shot its my first attempt at a screenshot
What threw me was the 20ml vg against the 11.1 pg plus the pg in the cons just seemed a lot. and as im loving the custard lovechild didnt want to flaff it up on a 50ml mix.

Thanks again for your replies

It's a darn sight better than I can manage Grandad!

Got me worried now, I have always put no pg/vg in concentrate. Checking my T-juice and Celtic Vapours concentrates there is no mention of PG or VG - on the FW concentrates it lists PG in with ingredients.
can some one please put me right - have I been mixing incorrectly for my 6 months mixing career

[prowler]

I think most concentrates are PG based. I'm sure someone, somewhere is doing VG based concentrate but it's quite rare. Additives like sweetener etc may not contain PG I'm not sure about them.

On that basis my target 80/20 has been more like 90/10 its a wonder I am here to tell the tale OMG

I always thought that cons where PG based but i know that they have bought out VG based cons now, I always mix higher PG because if i remember righly PG is what holds the flavourings goneforagasper

The vast majority of concentrates are PG based goneforagasper . . . some may have a little ethanol, but not enough to affect the overall PG/VG ratio.

There's a few VG based flavourings, but you'd very likely know if you'd bought them - it's pretty safe to check them as being PG and part of your end PG ratio.

One of the few VG based ranges I know of:

Thanks for putting me right from now on I will do it right, mind you I have got about 2 months stock in the vape cupboard.

There will no doubt be a calculation to add VG to make existing stock right ?

[goneforagasper]

According to my calculation for an 80/20 mix I have put 1.2 ml too much PG and 1.2ml too little VG per 30ml mix
