Hackshot and shortfill help please

[taz96]

I have a 500ml bottle with 100ml concentrate already in it (DripHack Hackshot. Does this look right for mix?


I also have shortfill which only needs nic added to make 100ml. My nic is 72mg and I vape at 12mg, how much nic to I need to add please?

16.67ml Taz or thereabouts to make a 100ml . . . . . you'll probably want to top up with a little PG or VG, as shortfills work on TPD compliant nic shots being added.

Have you a link to the actual one, just to double check the calculation/volume.

( And yes to the Hackshot )

Looks right to me

kreed Perpetua Thank you both. How do I work out the nic only ? If you can explain it to me in terms a 2 year old would understand, then it "might" mean I don't have to keep asking


This it manabush.com/collections/0mg-shortfills/products/waxahachie-0mg-shortfill-for-diy-50-and-100ml. it's the 50ml bottle

So it's to make 50ml not 100ml Taz . . . . just to be certain? Manabush don't give a great deal of info, that I can see anyway.

Perpetua yes, that's right 50ml and your also right about the lack of info on the website. Striker42 told me at the last meet that all it needed was nic and not really such a good buy considering the hassle involved. Once I've used what I've got, I won't buy it that way again.

After some googling, it appears ( if this still applies ) that all is not so straightforward in the world of Manabush shortfills taz96 :

So assuming your 50ml bottle is infact 60ml  . . . . . you'll need to add 10ml of 72mg nic to give you a 12mg finished strength.

Perpetua Thanks for all your trouble. I will fire in 10ml nic. I did read through the link , but that just confused me even more..,I'm a total numpty when it comes to mixing

Not at all Taz . . . . you got it spot on with the Hackshot!

It's not your fault Manabush are so absolutely carp at describing how their shortfills work on their site . . . . . the perfect place you would think for an explanation.

[taz96]

Perpetua I think I'm gradually getting the hang of "normal" mixing thanks to you guys on here bu I didn't want to take the chance on 500ml without consulting folks that really know what they're doing.

To be fair it was striker42 and macmagoo that pointed me in the right direction with the cremeaux.

[Perpetua]

Confidence is 99.9% of it taz96 . . . . as with anything. And you only get that by trial, error and experience.

You know you can ask away on here anytime. xx

Perpetua both are now mixed, thanks again for you help.
