My first mix... How long to steep? And recipe mod question

[xs2man]

Okay, so it's not really too much of a mix if I'm honest.

But I did just do my first  DIY of my all day vape, Iron Brew (can you tell I'm Scottish, and with a sweet tooth, lol).

But I just made the 1 ml of it, as that should be enough to see if I have got the mix right or not.

Now I don't have a dripper, yet, one is on order, but coming from China so might take a while.

So I made it about 5 mins ago.  Was wanting to try it out tomorrow though, because if it tastes okay, I'm gonna need a supply of it in the next week or so, so will need a bigger batch.  Is this likely to be a good idea (testing it tomorrow)?  Or would I be best leaving it longer?  Can I load it into an Evod and let it steep in there?  Or is it best to steep in a plastic bottle?  Obvously having no dropper reduces my ability to trial a few drops at a time.

Tomorrow should be fine Xs2, it's not a flavour that requires a lot of steeping as far as I'm aware . . . I'd leave it in the bottle just incase you do want to tweak it a little though.

Also, I have a question about a recipe....

The following recipes are based on using 50mg nic juice

PINA COLADA @ 20mg

90 drops - Base (60 nic 50mg / 30 VG
20 drops - Rum (Asda)
24 drops - Pineapple (F'art)
18 drops - Coconut (F'art)
3 drops - French Vanilla (C9V)

My take on Pina Colada which I think you'll find a very refreshing vape. Not too heavy on the Pineapple so as to mask the other flavours.

So, how do I adjust this recipe? I have 72mg nic VG base, but have PG and VG base dillutants too.

My target is to make 5ml at 30mg strength. Now there was no indication of the amount of juice the recipe makes (but looks like just over 5ml assuming 30 drops per ml). Is there a calculator you guys use so that I can input the recipe, and adjust the nic levels to give me a similar resultant flavour?

Cool.  Nice one.

The bottle didn't come with a top though, so I am unable to seal it, or even shake it to properly mix the liquid.  Which is partly why I was thinking put it in an evod and give it a good shake, lol.

you can just stipulate whether each concentrate ios pg or vg based

Shove your pinky over the end and shake, that will be sufficient.

Yes, I have this.

However, I cannot just enter the recipe as it is quoted above.  As above is quoted in drops, and the ejuice prog only allows you to enter percentages.

Now if I could enter the drops, then no problem.  But alas, you cannot.

So, is there a way at adjusting the recipe then?  Even if someone could just tell me their formula for doing so, I could make up a spreadsheet to do the donkey work, lol.

Not sure i ve understood your question properly but ..

I would input ml(eg 5 ) as desired quantity and 30 mg nic target

take each concentra as a % of total drops and input that percentage into the calculator

That work?

[xs2man]

A ha. Bingo. Feck knows why I didn't think of that. I mean it's not like I have a Physics degree or anything. No. Wait.....

find this one easiest for single flavours,just change amount req,nic strength and nic required
