Well, blow me ruddy socks off cause if i didn't know any better i would swear i'd just had a puff and not a vape Yep……. Good isn’t it…. Almost too good to be true, but it is…. It always leaves me with a “satisfied smirk” on my face after a few puffs off that! Glad you are enjoying it, and you are so right, there can be huge differences, depending on the set up you use. Maybe I should add "Walnut & Honey Delux Tobacco" to my shop. |

i know im missing something but what does 1 10% drop mean My understanding is that you first dilute the concentrate like this:- 10% of the full concentrate flavour to 90% PG or VG, etc. This is called a 10% working dilution, then you use 1 drop of it in your mix (i.e. 1 drop of 10% working dilution). |

Yep, However, Novas are reported to stand up to "Some" of the known offenders....
I think Perps and myself have the same list (with a few additions)
List of e-juices known to crack SOME polycarbonate tanks, that is "SOME" not all, it depends on the grade, spec, thickness of the polycarb used in the tank, at present there is not a "Bad" tank list, just this known juice offenders list, they may be fine in one and crack another:-
Any sour flavours
Any flavours that contain malic acid.
Any e-liquids that contain essential oils
E-liquids that contain triacetin, used in vg liquids to carry flavour more effectively
Cinnamon like "atomic cinnamon" types, not warm cinnamon like cinnamon coffee cake, this is OK
Wintergreen juice or flavouring
Mimosa
Cola
Nutmeg
Clove oil
Sassafras
TPA Ripe Banana flavouring
TPA Honeysuckle flavouring
TPA Maraschino cherry flavouring
TPA Cherry Blossom flavouring
TPA Root Beer flavouring

Tasty Vapor Cherry Cola
Vixen Vapor Rootbeer
TPA Pineapple flavouring
TPA Granny Smiths Apple
TPA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream flavouring

VAL Goddess
Some Vermillion River fruit e-liquids (the kentucky applewood, peachwood etc are OK, as are the cherry, hawaii pineapple or malibu pineapple)
Health Cabin Spearmint (essential oil?)
Health Cabin Chocolate Nut
Vaporzone Butterscotch flavouring
vapour juices spearmint leaf
Mount Baker Cherry Balsam Tobacco
Healthcabin butterscotch concentrate

Would anyone know if the banana flavouring cracks poly carb tanks? I have had banana crack a few tanks so has any flavour that contains citrus. Interesting.... Was it CCW Banana flavoured juice? Some Citrus (and other) juices have been known to crack tanks, as has alcohol in juices, (in fact more so), I do have a database somewhere, I will dig it out…… But CCW Banana I use a lot / make a lot / sell a lot of juice with it in. No reports so far. |

Just remember you can never get above the level your Nic Base is to start with….
So if you vaped it neat, you would be vaping at 26mg 100% PG
Everything you add, PG, VG, Flavours etc, will reduce this level….. depending on the amount you add.
For example, if you mixed 50% of 26mg Nic, and 50% of any combination of (flavours, PG, VG, etc) you would get a final mix that was 13mg strength.
So... for 18mg strength you will always start with 69.2% (Call it 70%) of nic base, and then add 30% of other stuff.
Simple…..

Hey BC, Aha thanks Roger, really want to have a go but need to get it sorted in my head first  that would suit me though 17.33mg as tend to vape 18mg Yes..... but that is without flavourings added, when you add flavourings it will lower it a lot more..... let me try and explain.... I think I read somewhere you are using 26mg PG Nic Base…. If your flavours are all PG base as well you are going to have a hard time getting above a 90%PG/10%VG mix. To get 10ml of 18mg juice at 90PG/10VG you need the following:- 6.92 ml 26mg Nic Base 0.08ml of PG 1.00ml of VG This will leave you with 2.00ml of flavours you can add (20% Flavouring) If you want to add more flavouring you could get up to about 30% total flavourings, by adding another 1.08ml more (10.8%) of flavouring, instead of the PG and VG, but then it will make the mix 100% PG…. any other additions will start to weaken / devalue the Nic strength of 18mg. If that helps |

Regarding Ethyl Maltol available from Olfactik.Com See HereI received the 100grms today that I purchased earlier in the week and have made up a batch, it is (to all intents and purposes) the same product I have had from other suppliers, but finer crystals, almost a powder. They supply lose (in sealed bags), they have already stated, it conforms to industry standard, in other words, it is exactly the same chemical composition, make up, strength, etc. I think their pricing is reasonable, £2.31 (10grm), £8.63 (50grm), £12.84 (100grm) and compares very favourably to other suppliers. Although P&P is not the cheapest, but works out reasonable on larger orders. I used it in some mixes today and it does exactly what it is supposed to and as I expected. Overall, I am very happy with the Ethyl Maltol from them, and will purchase again when required. |

That’s OK if you use the same (PG/VG) Ratios for each mix, and the same amount (%) of flavouring, but all mine are different, some use 60/40 and 31% of flavour, some 50/50 and 28% of flavour ect…. so each one is a fresh mix of everything.
The only constant for me is the amount of Nic base (2.4ml of 75mg VG Nic – for 10ml of 18mg strength)
