Base Mix Help

[vape2017]

Ok guys, got some cash in the bank, looking to make my own juice, looking to buy a 70vg 30pg base mix as not much space to store things etc so say I'm making 30ml juice and the calc gives me 10ml nic, 8.1ml pg, 11ml vg and 0.9ml concentrate am I right in thinking that I add the pg and vg together and use 19.1ml of the 70/30 base mix? x

You need to factor in the PG or VG that the nic is in.

Base mix can be problematic, even using ready mixes/one shot concentrates some are to be mixed at 30% and others at 7% concentrate.

I do make a base, just for speed of mixing and always have a 500ml base mixed up ready to use.

but I'm using 7.2% nicotine, so make my base 5mg nicotine with about 90%vg and then if my concentrate is 20% then I'm going to end up with over 1/5th pg (almost all concentrates are suspended in pg) so I know end product will be something like 78/22 and around 3mg nicotine. If I'm only using a concentrate that is 8% then end result would be 90/10 and about 4mg nicotine... and if I want higher pg I add less base and top up with pg, as I'm not bothered about nicotine amount, more focuassed on what pg/vg blend is. I tend to chain vape so need an eliquid that can wick and keep up with me, depending on what vaping gear i'm using.

I'm very casual mixer obviously! But you would be far better calculating for each juice you make as you have to factor in what tanks you use (for wicking) and the temperature (hot weather makes eliquid runnier) In winter I add more pg, and for my pod systems I want nearer to 50/50. Drippers and squonkers are fine with high/max vg but for tanks I prefer more pg so go with 70/30
