Have you sorted out what you need ( roughly ) to do for your mix ian747?

Did you download Ejuicemeup?

Hi Perpetua

Yes I did but I don't understand 1 thing.

In a previous post it was said that Your best bet for simplicity for a 15mg juice.
First mix a plain 100ml of juice at 18mg.
To do this add 25ml of PG based nic to 75ml of your 30PG/70VG.

When you wish to make smaller flavoured bottles put your desired flavours in the bottle first then top up with your 100ml nic base.
What you will then have is a flavoured juice around 15mgs and near as damn it a 60PG/40VG ratio.

I thought 18mg was 18mg not 15mg.  I cant seem to figure out what I need for 18mg strength.

Thank you anyway

Ian

I think that calculation was posted, to make measuring as straightforward as possible for you ian747 and to get as close as possible to your desired VG/PG ratio, with it being your maiden voyage into mixing.

In all honesty, you'll likely notice so little difference between 18mg & 15mg, that it's worth a try for simplicity's sake.

You're welcome ian747, though I've done nothing really, the other guys did the hard work of the calculations.


But, a word of caution - 1ml of concentrate, will only give you a 10% flavour ratio - which is really quite low, do you feel this will be strong enough for you?

Either 1.5ml or 2ml will give you 15% or 20%, which you might find better.

What flavours are you going to be using?

My apologies for not explaining that 1.
If you add 1ml of non nic(the flavour) to the nic mix it subtracts 1.8mg from the finished product.
So give or take your final  bottled stuff will be 15 to 16mg.

Hi Both

Thank you that's what confused me a little.

Im gonna use fruit salad, mixed fruit, butterscotch and ry4.  I also have ethnol matol but that's another post another day.  One step at a time.

Thank you so much for your time and patience.

Ethyl maltol is a very sweet sweetener.

Try one or two drops per 10ml to start.....depending on your taste

No problem Kreed we all get like that, that's what makes us human.

They are made by Pure Perfection from the health e-vape website.

www.health-e-vape.co.uk/pure-perfection-flavour-concentrates--159-c.asp

Not sure if they are any good though, and I don't know of a good site to use.

Thank you

jmw2309 is our resident Pure Perfection expert IIRC

callum-YouVape is a Vendor on the forum ian747, personally I've only had tip top service from him.


Though I've not used his concentrates, but I'll speculate that other than the RY4, you'll need more than 1ml/10% of concentrate to get a flavoursome vape.

jmw2309 has used a fair number of these, he may be able to advise you a little more precisely.

Try 1% EM Ian, which is about 3 drops . . . . and you'll find leaving a flavour like Butterscotch for a few days to blend/infuse is a good idea, as the flavour will develop if you give it time.
