1st timer question

[richo71]

Hi all, just wanted to ask if this www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=61_71&product_id=386 is all i need to mix in with a flavour concentrate and if i wanted to make a 30 ml bottle of juice how many ml's of each do i use. I hope i am asking the question right. Is this that i have linked a 50/50 pg/vg with nicotine?   sorry but complete newbie to this

It depends what flavouring you use. Some flavours need as much as 20% others as little as 2%. Your finished product will have less nicotine in than 18mg due to the flavouring, i.e. if you used 20% flavour it would reduce the nic content to 14.4 mg.

richo71 spot on, my friend! I mix from scratch, but I'm tempted to do likewise (only at a lower strength), and have been looking at these prices too.
I would be tempted to add about 10-15% flavouring to start with, i.e. 3-5ml in a 30ml bottle, add about 22ml of this 50/50 18mg base, and if you need to add more flavour you have room in the bottle.
I'm planning to get some Red Astair flavour concentrate from HERE and mix at 16.6%, meaning a bottle of concentrate will do 2 x 30ml bottles, one for me and one for my mate! This leaves 40ml of base left over for more experimentation!
This juice will then work out at £2.88 for 60% of the base, £3.95 for the concentrate, divided by 2 = 30ml juice for £3.41 - bargain!!

EDIT: got me maffs wrong!

I use the 10mg.... it depends on what the concentrate is....i use their tobac flavours and only need about 2 - 3 % 4 10mls they are strong u could always add 2 later....i think it is 50/50 plenty of vapour and good throat hit hope this helps

that nic level after mixing would be fine for me, thanks for your info

richo71 - best of luck! If you need any more advice or help, please just ask!

I'd also mix a smaller volume than 30ml to start with richo71 . . . just incase the flavour isn't to your taste, unless it's something you've tried.

10ml is less to tinker with if it isn't spot on at first.

As Perpetua says, start small work your way up..

If your Maths skills are anything like mine, use a decent basic Mixing calculater (on line) Takes all the guess work out of it.

Do i need sweetener aswell?

[Karma]

I can't get the first link to work!


Follow the percentage guidance on LT as these concentrates are very strong. Sweetener is entirely up to you, perhaps try without it then add it if you feel the need

[Perpetua]

It's always worth having some sweetener Richo, even if you don't use it on those particular flavours. I don't with Apple or Pear, but that's just my personal preference.

The flavours you have got are very strong, especially the wera garden. I have a coffee here from the same range and i use literally 2 drops per 10ml so don't add too much to start with. You can always add more later. Good luck with the mixing.
