Hi can anyone tell me if I buy this www.vape-tastik.com/apps/webstore/products/show/5829207 1lt 50/50 pg/vg of unflavoured e liquid. What mg nicotine wud I need it in and how much flavouring would I need to add to make it 18mg or there abouts? Tried looking into doin it from scratch but can't get my head round all the % stuff. I'd like to start of just making a 10ml bottle and go from there Thanks in advance Laurie

Tbh I think doing it this way will be more complex as it totally depends upon what concentrates and recipes you use.
Recipes really are very easy if you use a online calc as they work in mils. Use a syringe to measure and its very simple. Totals always add up to 100%. Far East Custard To make 10.0 mls @ 10.0 MG Nicotine(Mls) Base Nicotine - 1.4 mil PG : - 2.3 mil VG : - 5.0 mil Cap Custard - 1.0 mil Ccw Lemongrass - 0.2 mil Vanillin - 0.1 mil Total Flavouring - 1.3 mil Expected PG:VG Ratio - 50:50 Actual PG:VG Ratio - 50:50
Is it the % in flavourings that your not sure about? As it varies on what concentrate by what make by how you like it.
Hope I haven't confused you more lol. I need sleep ..........

I'm another who thinks it's far easier mixing from scratch xtc263 . . . . largely because the percentage of concentrates required can vary quite widely, making it more difficult to be accurate in your final calculations. Why don't you start with some of the very nice ' one shot ' flavouring ranges there are available rather than getting bogged down by more complex recipes to begin with? Pixie's Concentrates, Pink Spot & Tjuice are some of my suggestions to have a look at. We'll always help you, please don't be afraid to ask.

Their website is overly complicated, I'm a hardened mixer but I'd struggle to understand it if I was new to it. I also cant see where you can choose your concentrate?? Best of luck, you've got all you need to start, now just visit chefs vapour and buy one or two (or 50) concentrates

Hi xtc263 when you were messing with the calculator did you press the calculate button after entering your flavouring? It's usually a very easy calculator to use and works on the iPad which a lot don't

If your useing a android device I love the POTV calc ( don't shoot me aaec ) That website you have bought from as Q said its making it overtly complicated. I'd highly reccomend you head over to chefs vapour and have a look at the T juice and pinkspot concentrates, choose a couple you like. One shot concs are ready blended flavours like red astair or black mamba.

That's because you didn't enter the percentage of concentrate you would use. Strawberry (depending on which supplier) I would guess to start at 18%
