If you bought 100ml 72mg PG based, and added 100ml VG to mix - would you not have 200ml of 50/50 PG/VG mix at 36mg nic?

Any tips for using needle syringes? Just made my first mix of 30ml, using syringes for measuring. They were really difficult to use, getting stuck half way or not sucking up the liquid. Most difficult was the VG which is thicker. Had to resort to pouring into another small container, removing the needle and doing it like that. I imagine my mix will not be totally accurate as i got very frustrated, but it smells good, so hopefully will be OK.

I have just this minute finished mixing my first 30 ml of Bubblegum flavour, my favourite at the moment. It smells delicious, but I suppose I have to wait for a week or so to steep. Does anyone have any idea of the optimum steeping time for Bubblegum? Thanks for your good wishes millerkev I am sure all will be fine once I have my head around things. It certainly seems very complicated at first

Yes I am new to mixing, and have been given this advice for mixing small quantities first before on this forum, but I am abroad at the moment and do not have a supply of tiny 5ml or 10 ml bottles. I also want to give some to friends to try.......I may be able to decant into small bottles they may have......so In a way I HAVE to mix this amount and hope for the best. I am good at "tweaking" , so I am sure it will not all be in vain. LOL! Anyway fingers crossed, it is a learning curve.

No problem with off topic! So going on the above dot1ml calculation, and my nic base being 50/50 PG/VG @36mg, is it right I have to ADD more dilutent of PG/VG at 5.68/10.33 respectively and then the flavour? If I later discover I would like more flavour, can I just add a few drops of concentrate to the already mixed 30ml? Apologies for all the questions.  |

Actually I find the dot1ml easier to use, the EJMU somewhat confuses me ( very easy to do) !! As I have said on this forum a few times (1) I am 70 (so fairly old!) (2) maths and calculations not my strongest subject and (3) like to keep things simple.  to me for even trying I'd say!! |

I have put in recipe on two different calculators for a 30ml quantity of 12mg nic Bubblegum flavour.(10%) On one of them dot1ml - I seem only to be able to enter a quantity of 31ml for some reason - but in general, have I done it right. The first image is for dot1ml......  The second with ejuicecalculator does not specify the non nic base within the recipe - is this for me to determine say 50/50 VG/PG?  |

Well, damn it........I have managed to ruin my two new atties! Thought I'd give them a good clean to remove all factory residue etc. Looked at several You Tube vids for lessons. Put them in hot water, dried them out overnight, and now do not get any glow on the wick or coil. Just a tiny bit of vapor. Tried a few drop of e juice on one and it tasted worse than anything I've ever had. Is there any solution please???  |

Would you recommend the fridge for storage of concentrates and juices? I live part time in a hot country where most of my liquids are based. Lucky me!!!

Read this all with interest. Seems that the situation got out of hand because of a security guard with little common sense. Glad it worked out well for you.
This week I have been in three places not previously visited. One a pub, one a restaurant within a pub, and a small town cafe. In all cases I politely asked what was their policy towards electronic cigarettes and was surprised to find a pleasant response and a positive reply that it was OK. All this in rural Sussex!

Thanks for flavour tips.....my brain is not the problem, nothing stays there for more than 10 seconds!! I am keeping an old Ce4 clearo just for menthol at the moment, so no way the flavour will transfer to anything else.

This morning I received not one but TWO atties from Roscopecotrain. Thank you SO very much, a very generous and kind gesture.  |
