Newbie to mixing would love some advice

[clivealive1]

made 14/01/2014

butterscotch 20%
Flavour 20% makes 10 ML (70-30)
Nicotine Strength PG 72mg
Target Nicotine Strength 12mg
Amount to Make10ml
flavour 20%

RESULT

Nicotine pg 1.67 ml 16.7%

PG 70% 3.3ml 33.3 %

VG 30% 3ml 30%

flavour 2 ml 20%

u can see i used pg nicotine and had to add another 3.3 ml standard PG to make up the difference same if u use vg nicotine unless u use silly amout of nicotine

[clivealive1]

hope that helps

what percentage of flavour are u gonna use and i can work it out for you and explain it

[holtyh]

thanks a lot clivealive1 as simple as it seems i just couldn't seem to get my head around it.

Im sure ill be back with more questions very soon!!

Thanks to all

[clivealive1]

no problem u will get there i was the same just ask

[holtyh]

I was thinking 20% flavour to start with the up or down as I feel necessary

Im open to all suggestions as this is obviously just a trial run to see how I get on with it.

Heard its a lot cheaper once you get the hang of it. Im all about saving the pennies!

Apprenticeships do not pay well...

[clivealive1]

ask others but i would defo go ml not drops

[clivealive1]

i did a post the other day with price details sado a .

worked out £1.04 for 10ml of t juice which isnt cheap say £5 plus for premix so yes worth it and that can be brought down buying in bulk

[holtyh]

£1.04 sound a lot beet than £5.00 on this student(ish) life I'm currently living!
Thanks again for all you're advice mate!
Will let you know how it goes

[clivealive1]

just pm me if i can help i will

Just a little tip holtyh, if you do decide a 50/50 mix is right for you, get 72mg VG nic base and dilute the lot with equal amounts VG nic base and VG, giving you twice the quantity of 36mg VG base. (Eg 50ml nic base and 50ml VG). Then when you have a mixing session, you then only need to add 50% of your nic base, flavourings in whatever % you want and the balance of PG... it just saves a lot of faffing around with an extra ingredient (VG) and makes your maths much simpler. But make sure a 50/50mix is right for you first

Yet I find that more confusing lairey . . . and have always found it easier to add the individual components as I use a calculator and then mix.

Probably the way my mathematically challenged mind works, it's whatever you find the simplest ultimately.

lol, it only makes it simpler if you start with 72mg and want to end up with 18mg 50/50 Perpetua as every mix you make will be 50% of your new 36mg VG base.  Does save loads of time when you're making a fair few different 5 or 10ml samples

Cheers people I'll bare that in mind. I've never tried a 50/50 mix only 70/30- im aiming for more clouds and less throat hit...
