Duplicating a liquid at home

[xs2man]

I use 20% vodka to water down my VG. But then when you do 50/50 mixes, that means 10% vodka

[Mrsmac]

Is it a necessity to water down your vg? I haven't been doing that

No, it's not necessary at all, it just makes it less gloopy, so easier to pull up a needle.  Easy enough without a needle, but I use the same syringe for nic base, PG & VG and it saves me having to take the needle off the syringe each time.  I use a 100ml bottle, splash in about 1/5 of vodka, then top up with VG, give it a good shake and it's as thin as my PG.  But no reason at all why anyone should

That I you lairey just wanted to double check

Depends how gloopy your base is as well Mrsmac - I only use VG base/mix VG heavy brews. Nicvape's ( which I like best ) is really thick, so I do dilute plain VG to go into that - otherwise I'd need a knife and fork to vape it.

Thinner VG bases, then I don't bother diluting.

I reckon I may have found your flavouring, James always used to use Flavor Shack a lot for his concentrates:

Depends whether you want to go overseas to test the theory.

Oh my days, you may have hit the nail on the head Perpetua, to be honest I have ordered so many different concentrates that had i not have decided to post the question was going to go into undercover investigative work

Perpetua, even if it turns out not to be the one, I have a strong feeling it is and I sincerely from the bottom of my heart and purse

[Perpetua]

YW Mrsmac . . . it suddenly popped into the dark regions of my fuddled grey matter - Flavor Shack!

James when he goes to the States stays or is certainly friendly with the folk who own the company, so I'm 99.9% certain that's where the flavouring will be from.

[Mrsmac]

Perpetua, I shall report back MrMac can vape till his heart is content if it is

[Perpetua]

Can't wait to hear Mrsmac - I shall be so chuffed!


Hopefully he uses it as a standalone, but if there's a little Rum needed then that would be easy enough to pick up, unless you get some of that from Flavor Shack as well, just incase?

Gutted Perpetua, put a couple concentrates in the basket, signed up for the site to say they are not shipping to the UK. I have emailed the vendor to see if they can deliver to the uk so near......but yet so far

Nooooooooooooooooo Mrsmac!


Although newdawn is moving to the US this year, so maybe there's a Plan C if all else fails.

[newdawn]

Give me links and recipe suggestions and I'll test the theory after the wedding this week-end. Never tried the original, but will see if I can hunt some down to compare against recipes. Once we've got it nailed, we'll figure something out for getting concentrates to ya.

I'm in the same boat Mrsmac. I love James Cigar e-juice. The consistency is great too. Even tho' it's 100% VG (which I use when mixing my own), I can't even re-create the consistency of the juice let alone the flavour. I couldn't even describe what the flavour is, so am probably never going to re-create it.

Had a look at nicvape webstore. I do like gloopy juice, so may look at buying their base. I'd buy the 25mg strength and dilute it down to make 16/18mg. Do you just use plain VG to dilute it, or do you add anything else perpy?

I've been using LT 100% VG base and I think it's quite thin, so would prefer a thicker consistency. What's the shipping charge from Nicvappe?

I'd buy a higher strength Hissie . . . 25mg gives you absolutely nowhere to go with your flavouring, it's next to useless for you if you want a 16/18mg strength.

With Nicvape, I dilute my plain VG first - otherwise wicking would be a mare. Thinner VG bases I don't bother with diluting that, so it all comes out in the wash really.

If you load up your cart, with what size bottle you require than you can get a quotation for shipping, the 10% discount code for Rich is AAEC if I remember correctly.
