Mixing Newbie Question

[dizzi]

Sorry ChillerVapes, I was under the impression all CCW flavours were PG based, glad you've pointed that out as Lemon was going to be on my next order. Flavour Art does a Sicilian Lemon flavour, available from Liberty Flights here: www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=15. I'd guess that DV and TPA also do a suitable lemon. Let us know what you get and how you get on!

Looking at the bottle and reading the label CCW Lemon is a PG based flavour, however, the solvent in this case “vegetable oil” is the substance used for the method of extraction.

I will ask the question of CCW.

Well made my order today 100mg flavourless 36mg e liquid from mistEliquid, Mad Fruits, Chocalima and RY4 Nutzilla from F'art. Just need to get some vg now from tesco.
I'm going to get the honey and lemon flavours next time because I don't really ever visit bradford town centre (its a dump) so the menthol crystals will have to wait.

Ecigwizard have some Menthol Crystals, or there's a number of Ebay sellers that do as well Chiller.

Hi again, I've downloaded that e-juice calculator but I'm having a little trouble with it...

Ive entered the PG / VG amount and Nic mg of the base juice,
I've told it I want to make 18mg ejuice
I've added my flavour and %

The bottom bit is what is baffling me though.
When I click calculate, it simply throws a wobble and tells me that I need to add more pg and it cant use negative numbers. The thing is, I don't want to add more pg to the juice, I'm trying to make 50/50 juice.

I've attached a pic so someone can tell me where I'm going wrong.

Thanks,
Chiller.

You have asked it to give you 100% VG. The pg/vg setting on the left is what you want the mix to be. The one at the top is the pg/vg of your base liquid.

ETA. Just put your figures in and you can only get to a 55/45 ratio

^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^

[ChillerVapes]

Thanks!
I managed to get it up to 54.51% PG and 45.49% VG before it kicks up a fuss lol

Because It has more PG than VG, will I need to use a diluent (water/alcohol) to thin it out or will it be fine as it is? I like slightly thick juices as they tend to last longer.

To thin what out exactly??

[ChillerVapes]

The VG. It just has the option in there and I know a lot (if not all) of the juices suppliers make have some sort of thinning ingredient.

[Roger]

You've already input some dilutant in that screenshot, 5%, you may need more. I dilute my VG before use, so don't factor it in when using the calc, but that is just a personal preference.

[ChillerVapes]

thats what I mean, do I need it or can I make the juice without it or will it be too thick?
The dilutant was on by default so I just left it.

[Frogster (The Alchemist)]

It all will depend on your vape set up and what it can do..... It should be fine without any thinning required at 50/50 (or there abouts) in most things. Try it and see.... The PG will act as a thinning agent.

I often make 80%VG thick juices but they are best suited to "Higher End" type attys that can wick it

I've used all the ones I won from Todd and the only one which acted funny was the whole leaf tobacco with a hint of blueberry. It wicked fine but just gave that burnt taste after a few hours of vaping.

If I had a dripping atty, I guess it would be fine though as I could dry burn on the fly.

BTW, your Coconut, Caramel, Hazelnut and Honey flavour is truly divine! Do you do 30 / 50 / 100ml bottles? I could vape that all day long every day.

30ml and 50ml on the website, if you want a 100ml bottle no problem, drop me a PM and I will do a deal for you.
