Hey guys, If i was just wanting to add flavour concentrates to an already made mix would this be the best way to do it? Here
They also do a full pg or full vg and then just buy some concentrates? Or ..? Im not wanting to mix my own base ? Thanks edited: I also found out that the only e liquid ive loved is a base 70pg 30vg.. If i was to continue to buy pre mades should i always buy that ratio? Lots of questions lol

Pixilocks, Quite a few folks on here started out this way, in fact some still do. An inexpensive entry into basic mixing. Go for it.

Just remember that if you add 20% flavour to 12mg base, your mixed juice will be about 9.5mg (Can't remember what strength you vape, if I've read it somewhere)

As already mentioned, this is basically the start of self mixing when you throw some flavours together, or when you 'up' flavour by adding concentrate or by chucking in some extra pg to dilute and change pg/vg ratio. I started by buying high pg mixes then as I got used to vaping I didn't like throat hit anymore so I started diluting my ready mades with vegetable glycerine and naturally moved down for my starter juices at 24mg to 18mg with the added vg. So yes, you can meddle to your hearts content as long as you remember you are also diluting nicotine strength, but sometimes that's exactly what you want.. I even have some no nicotine/low nicotine juices that I might pop extra nicotine into I'm the worlds worst mathematician but I can still work out basic percentages

I always mix my flavours to get something nice. I find 100% tobacco is and 100% vanilla custard is too sweet. But mix them together say 60/40 and its a nice vape. Yesterday I had about .5 ml of red Astaire, and same of green steam and afro dizziac left from some samples I was trying, and threw all 3 into a 10ml bottle of my ADV. The little bit of aniseed and menthol it gave was really nice, as I found all 3 of those overpowering on their own.

If you get the 18mg and some pg you could make your 12mg at 70/30 near enough. 6.7 mls of base then the other 3.3 split between flavour and pg. like 6.7mls base 2mls flavour 1.3mls pg that's at 20% flavour. If you use less flavour add the same amount to the pg used. Hope this makes sense. If you find 70/30 is the best for your taste I would continue to use it.
