You could start mixing your own looks frightening but its really easy ,i use liberty flights for the calc and all you would have to do with the pg/vg mix is basic use comp calc see what 70% is of total but there are others where you can split pg/vg ratio heres the calc from liberty using 24mg nic 20ml of juice Ml Drops % PG/VG with Nicotine: 9.2 184 46 PG/VG zero Nicotine: 7.4 148 37----- heres your pg/vg Water/Alcohol: 1 20 5 Flavouring: 2.4 48 12 so for a ratio -70/30 pg/vg 148 drops as above Pg 103 drops Vg 45 drops

ok click on this link and play lol : www.liberty-flights.co.uk/e-liquid_calculator.asp?action=calcok shall explain[ line by line on the above calc link] nicotine comes in different strengths[mg] 50.52.54 etc[pg or vg nicotine] so in this line you change it to strength you have Nicotine Base Strength [PG/VG] (mg): so enter nicotine strength you have in this line: Desired Nicotine Strength (mg): you put the ejuice strength you want 12mg what ever 15 ,18 24 any number basically in this line: Dilution [Distilled Water / Vodka] (%) leave it at 5% -- yes you can use vodka-distilled water from any car or petrol station battery top up basically in this line Drops per std 1ml (no. of drops): i leave this at 20 but i do the old cook bit a few for luck lol Flavouring (%): i have mine at 15% it really depends on how strong flavour is golden rule less you can add more later..to much and its screwed in this line: Required quantity (ml): depends on what bottles you have old ejuice bottles come in handy or buy some now when you hit calculate...the amount of vg/pg appears basic it calculates what is left is what is needed so as you want a pg.vg ratio of 70/30 you do that on the comp calculator

Well i ordered some higher pg liquid over the weekend and some lower resistance clearomizers so hopefully that will help, i would rather not fork out for a variable volt/watt battery yet. Having said that, whilst i was looking at the juice and clearomizers i kept seeing lovely shiny things and even some pretty flowery things and kept accidentally ordering them too, so today i have remortgaged my house so i can build an extension to house all my lovely new things that should, fingers crossed, arrive tomorrow

a lovely shiny, sparkly, flowery battery which arrived today amongst other things, it was very exciting when the postie knocked on my door! Well i am now vaping a lovely Forest Fruits 80:20 pg:vg from vapology in a 1.8 resistance clearomizer and the throat hit is great, far far better. And, for the first time, i can actually taste it and I love it!

I got these lower resistance clearomizers, the 1.8ohm ones: www.vapeescape.co.uk/vision%2Dego%2Drainbow%2Dv3%2Drebuildable%7E388and the 80:20 pg:vg liquid from here: www.vapology.co.uk/e-liquid-8-c.aspuntil today i have been having 5 rollies a day, down from 30. So far today, apart from one i had before the post came, i haven't had or wanted one. Its early days but its been when i didnt get the throat hit that i caved in and had a rollie. I am hoping that now i am getting a better throat hit i might be able to get off the rollies completely.

Does the lower resistance cause more vapour ?

Throat Hit is determined by a combination of Flavour/Nicotine strength/PG to VG ratio/Atomiser resistance and voltage through the coil!
