Need to clarify this before I start

[Blownupdolly]

I know I have read this on here somewhere, but can't find it. Before I start my mass mixing campaign, I want to be absolutely sure.
I have the 72mg Nic base from Frogster. I want all my mixes to be 18mg strength nic.
Most recipes seem to use the lower nic bases. Am I correct in thinking to get my 18mg strength, I need my nic base to be 25% of the total volume regardless of anything else put in?

Ejuice me up says yes - 2.5ml of nic in 10ml

Good morning Jen. Thanks for that. I am hoping the twelve flavours I ordered come today and don't want to mess it all up.

Sleepyduck says yes too

Happy mixing, Dolly. Let us know what concoctions you come up with

I am going to try the black cherry pie and custard Ash mentioned the other day as my first one sleepyduck
Not sure how long to steep it for though.

[Jen]

Fruits tend to steep fairly quickly, as in 2-3 days. Bakery needs a little longer, maybe 5-7 days - so give it a week to be on the safe side

needs a good few weeks I would suggest ... on my last sample I would advise upping the Black Cherry content a wee bit. The original recipe had 20 drops per 1ml but it defo needs upping

Is that 20 drops per 1ml or 20 drops per 10ml?

Cheers for that Ash.

I am certain 35yrs of smoking has totally fried and killed off a lot of my taste buds so I will need my flavourings to be quite strong.

Blownupdolly would urge you to use a calculator to be sure of the strengths you're getting.

Yes, I do have one now, but haven't used it yet. I just used 25% of all four ingredients on my first mix.

[Frogster (The Alchemist)]

25% of 72mg/ml Nic base in any mix wil give you 18mg final strength..... the other 75% will be Flavours. PG/VG.
