Mixing check

[bonnieboy]

At present I am just making standalone recipes and wondered if it would be ok to make up a base mix which according to the mix calc with no flavours in meets my 50/50 at 10% nic. If later on I take 2ml flavour and add to 8ml base mix for a 10 ml finish does this work out or am I getting it totally wrong?

Brain not working to get exact figures but it will reduce your nic when you add the flavour and it will also increase your pg (presuming the flavours are pg based) I was thinking of doing something similar as I am not particular about the nic, anywhere between 12-18 is ok but I couldn’t get my head round the calculations.

Hopefully someone with a better brain will be along to help out

Truthfully with my burnt out taste buds and the fact that I'm trying to reduce my nic anyway I don't know how much difference it will make. It also hurt my brain trying to work out the right figures and doing it this way the quantities come out quite easy for measuring but I would like to know for later on when I become a master mixer

I am going through the everything tastes like shite at the moment, was thinking of vaping all the juices I have to save chucking them down the sink and not wasting the good stuff.

Master mixer my arse, that’ll be the dayoh

50/50 10mg base...

with 8ml base and adding 2ml of pg concentrate...

you will have 8mg juice 58.3/41.7 pg/vg

if thats okay with you thats fine.

If you want the final product to be 50/50 10mg ur base needs to be altered

What you need to do, is plug in the calc, say 200ml with the flavour incluced, then just mix without the flavour so you can add it at a later date. The problem with doing that bonnieboy, is that not all concentrates are the same strength and you may need more of one than another, so a fixed % for flavouring won't work. If, however, you don't mind about a small change in PG/VG ratio and nic %, then go for it.

I mix a 5ml sample of all new concentrates at 15% to test them against a common baseline, so for those, I do mix up a big bottle of base and it works well as I can just measure 4.25ml base and 0.75ml flavouring. For actual recipes though, I always mix fresh.
