How should I deal with this?

just out of interest, what nic strength was the pre-mixed juice you bought? If this is the nic strength you're aiming for, at a 60-40 mix, you need to know what base the flavouring is in, nowhere on that site can I see whether their flavourings are in pg or vg. Also, what nic base are you going to use, pg or vg? Without these details, you'll not get the proportions right for either the nic stength or the pg-vg ratio. Once you know, pop the details into e-juicemeup calculator, and it'll tell you what you need

It was 24mg Rolling Holborn from eVape. I've got the flavouring only now as well and am trying to develop a plan of how to make my mix seem like their mix, and then to cut it back to 50% of the original strength with VG as that is what I have come to really like.

So I got to replicate theirs as close as I can first then cut it back to half strength, and I am so glad I made rough notes on what I did to theirs at the time, thanks to some really good advice here on that bit!!   Theirs is 50/40 so the label says! Then they list the rest of what's in it and that must account for the last 10% I can only guess. I covered that in more detail earlier on in the thread, (or was it in another?). I'm clearly too tired right now!

It's going to be a fair bit of detective work ahead, as well as some trial and error I'd imagine, but I really want to make a decent job of this one. As my supplies were running low, I realised how much I would miss it. I've decided to buy some more and cut it back to half strength like before to see me through the learning phase for making my own version. I learned that the resulting mix from cutting back theirs is best allowed to steep for at least a week after the remix is done. A week or two more than that makes it really perform to it's best.

Just to make matters a little harder I have now got a new PG AND VG in stock, but they are in some serious quantities, and the economics of it makes it well worth learning to get that right as well. OK, so it's a lot of variables to juggle at once, but I just have to get this one right, hence trying to do my homework on it all!  

I'm using EJMU for working out a base of my own, not decided on which nic I will buy yet, but may be 100% VG as I greatly prefer VG over PG. I jsut got a litre each of PG and VG today from Klassicool. I'll grab a second bottle of the flavouring soon too. I can play with no nic for a few small 5ml samples while I decide on nic supplier. I reckon I am taking this about as good and steady as I can see how for now.
