Virgin Mixer

[yoda12]

HI All, Please forgive me if this is in the wrong place or on the wrong page,
I'm a newbie to vaping, Just a few weeks and only used the stuff that comes with the E-Cig.
Iv read a lot on mixing your own E Juice, I stopped smoking many years ago but still missed the "Vapouring" So i bought the ECig and tried it, It was ok but but i dont like the taste to much, So on to my question....I have read as i have said about the ingredients required to mix your own juice and thought i may try to do my own..Now first question..Does the mix have to have nicotine to get the throat hit
Or will the PG / VG still give me this?, Obviously i will ask more advice regarding PG and VG but am i on the right path with a 75%PG and 25%VG mix and then the flavouring added to this?, I have been told to cut the VG with Vodka or the water bought from Halfords to the same consistency as the PG ??, Would this be correct??. Anything else needed to make the perfect Juice??. I obviously will ask for advice on amounts and measurements before i attempt anything but are these the only ingredients i would need?. Oh one other thing i live in Yorkshire and have all the major supermarkets on my doorstep...Would these provide all the basic ingredients i would need i.e PG , VG , Flavourings what should i look for for best results?.
I have been told VG i can buy almost any supermarket is PG the same and what would i look / ask for.
Sorry for such a long first post but i believe always ask advice from the experts first and then i wont have as many problems down the line.
Thank you in advance for any help in this loooonnnggg question

VG can be had in the baking aisle of the supermarket or from Boots.
PG cannot be found on the High Street - you'll need to get it from
one of the vendors (e.g. cig-eliquid).
Food flavourings from the supermarket are not recommended,
you're better to get those from the vendors too.

PG gives some throat hit, but mostly it's from the nic.

Check out Grizwald's thread (pinned in this section) for loads of
useful info about mixing.

I would suggest you get yourself aquainted with one of the mixing calculator programs available. Even though you are not using nicotine you need to learn about flavours strengths and their contibution to the VG/PG ratios. Also a dilutent such as vodka/water is not necessarily needed, these are ususlly used to thin down thick VG liquids to help wicking.
