Hi

[john316]

Wigan! That's only 10 minutes up the motorway from us!

The VTR was the first one we bought, I was DETERMINED to enjoy vaping, and was pretty sure we would! It's fab! We knew practically nothing about vaping until 2 weeks ago, we though that the disposable e cigs were the only alternative to smoking. I'm amazed! In a good way  It's another world!

We've bought some ready mixed e juices (I really like French Pipe Tobacco and Pirates Plunder) and some other stuff, PG, VG, something with nic in Flavour Art 100ml BiteXtra (not too sure what that is yet though so I'll stay clear) Distilled Water and flavour concentrates, oh, and syringes and a0ml bottles. I can't for the life of me understand what it means when % is mentioned.

Say if I was going to make a 10ml bottle up (no nic at this stage)

 

If I used a 10ml syringe.

Could I use 'happen, 7ml of PG, 3ml of VG I understand that, but how many drops of concentrate shoud I add to it?

One day I'll cringe at this question won't I? I will won't I..?

Just look at the mixing tool at the top of the front page .Until you know how strong a concentrate is start at about 15% but be careful as some flavours are more concentrated than others

hi and welcome john316
am totally new to mixing too - but it's actually easier than I thought - just use the mixing calulator on top of the forum - most folks here mix the flavours from 10 to 20 % - so between 1 and 2 ml in a 10ml bottle

Greetings john316   Welcome. I think Bitextra is used to add to eliquid to give it extra throat hit

Hi everyone, what a friendly site! Thank you everyone

"...later on that day the penny dropped"

It hasn't yet though, so,.....

Ok, I understand that I enter say, 70 and 30 in the PG and VG boxes and 0 in the nic (at the moment anyway..)

Say I wanted to do a simple 10ml mix of cherry and cigar concentrate what do I enter where.

[john316]

I'll try asking the question in a different way - I've even confused myself with that one.

If I want to make a 10ml bottle up, with no nicotine.

Would it be something like this:

8ml of pg then add 2ml of vg? How many drops of concentrate should I add to that? I've no idea.

To a 10ml mix of 80/20 pg/vg would it be around 10 drops of concentrate in total? or like 30 or40?

Thanks (feeling a little stoopid now)!!

for 20% flavour it would be
pg 6 ml (120 drops)
flavour 2 ml (40 drops)
VG 2 ml (40 drops)

most concentrates are made of 100% PG and therefore your flavour is adding to ur PG total - ie  6ml PG plus 2ml flavour =  8ml of overall PG hence (80/20)

easier to use ML   not drops as each drop wont be the same.

Clivealive1 thank you, this has made things so clear, thanks for taking the time to post, and everyone else, thanks.

The mix calc makes sense to me now
