first time mixing

[summerof0763]

Hi everyone I am about to try mixing for first time, just simple straightforward ones to start ie blackberry, blueberry, coconut.
I went onto the ejuice app but am not quite understanding the pg, vg bit.

I want to make up 30mls of each above
I have my base nicotine 54mg which is fine but when I put in for pg vg for a 70/30 mix it does not tell you how much pg or vg to use? How do I work that out
Thanks anyone who helps

Not sure which app you are using but most people use eJuice Me Up by Breaktru ejuice.breaktru.com/

Not downloading infortunately, don't know if its not compatable with tablet.
Could someone tell me how much base nicotine 54mg pg and vg for a 70/ 30 mix and how much flavouring to use to make up 30 mls please so I can work it out for future, I want it to be 12mg nicotine thanks

Summer, to give you an answer we would need to know if the base nic is 100% pg, vg or a mixture. Also what % flavour do you want to use?

Also the Breaktru software is for pc's.

What is the name of the one you are using? I have an Android phone and have used a couple on there before.

ejuice me up won't work on a tablet - search for E-Liquid Calculator if you are using Android ... it has a penguin icon ...

assuming 10% of a single flavour and 100% PG nic base you would need ...

nic base 6.67 ml or 133 drops
pg 11.33 ml or 227 drops
vg 9 ml or 180 drops

Flavour 3ml or 60 drops

if you up the flavour or add more, you would need to adjust the pg content.

If first time mixing however I would recommend not mixing 30ml from the start ... best to try 5ml to see if you like it

nic base 1.11 ml or 22 drops
pg 1.89 ml or 38 drops
vg 1.5 m or 30drops

Flavour 0.5 ml or 10 drops

you can also access online calculators ... no need to download or install

if you mix 3 x 5ml of your blackberry / blueberry / coconut you can always mix them all together afterwards ...

Thanks never thought about mixing them all together, away to mix now!

Made blueberry and blackberry up in 5mls how long do I leave them to steep. Thanks

I tend to leave mine for at least a week. I might sample a few drops on a dripping atty after a couple of days. There's a thread on the mixology section on steeping with lots of techniques. I think with simple flavours, the steeping time is probably reduced somewhat. General rule is longer, the better.

You can put them in a warm water bath with the lid off until the water goes cool, leave on a warm radiator or use an ultrasonic cleaner to attempt to speed the process up.

or a quick blast in the microwave........not too long mind (about 30secs would do it)

But as Ash says.......... leave it a week, I usually try and give mine a little longer

I did that once to mix some eythl maltol up ... the bottle went wonky and the mix tasted of burnt sugar ... my microwave's 10 seconds is the equivalent of 30 !!

oooooop's lol

to tell you the truth Ash I've not tried the microwave method, but I'm sure someone on here said that 30scs was about right, may be wrong tho
