Do you still have problems importing into Thailand -V- I seem to remember that you were having them at one stage. Could always get them delivered to someone in the UK, who could then send them to you. Don't know if the postage costs would make that silly though. Not now, I know the little tricks to get things here safely. Postage costs not too bad really, international airmail is around 6 quid If you're up for it I'd pay the postage to you to get it sent over to me  I'd be more than happy to do that for you -V- Have to be fairly quick though, going to to France from Jan 23rd to Mar 2nd. PM me if you want to do it. |

Hi emmita, if you can answer the questions below, I'll post up the actual recipe for you  What mg is your nic base?Is your nic base PG or VG? What mg nic do you want to end up with? what pg/vg ratio do you want to end up with? And how many ml do you want to make? (I'm assuming 30ml) He has already said 18mg pre mixed |

Ok, I think I must not be explaining myself very well. I'd like to make this recipe:  Are those flavour quantities to be added to a 10ml final quantity of ejuice. What percentages do I need to add for a final quantity of 30ml ejuice. Starting with 18mg nic base already prepared. Yes I have used the onsite Mix Calc, but so far with only one flavour, this is my dilemma. If I use the above flavour calulation for both a 10ml and 30 ml quantity, surely the flavour is going to be weaker in the 30ml quantity?Why should it be, take the vanilla custard, 25% of 10ml is 2.5ml, 25% of 30ml is 7.5ml. You obviously have to add more flavouring in a larger mix, but the % of the final mix is the same. If you have an 18mg premix you will lower the final nic mg as you are adding a total of 30.4% flavouring in the above example. That is why starting with a pre mix of 18mg is a bad idea if you want a mix of about 18mg. To make 10ml using that recipe with an 18mg mix will give you a final mix of approx 11.8mg. |

If you download Ejuicemeup calculator LINK that has a nic combine feature which is handy for these sorts of calculations. Don't think that works with a Mac.... No, don't think it does. Here is an online one, Nic Combine Calc there are a few different calcs on that site. |

So if I have a 50% vg / 50% pg 6mg nic base in a 30ml bottle I add 10 % of a flavour concentrate, which is a pg base concentrate, how much of the vg % and the mg of the nic will I lose from the 30ml bottle mixed? What PG/VG ratio will it be and what mg of nic will it be? Thanks You will lose 0.6mg of nic and 5% of VG. Your mix would be 30ml 55/45 PG/VG at 5.4mg. |

... the Nic base costs more than non nic PG or VG that you will use to dilute it, So why does zero nic flavoured juice cost the same as 36 mg juice? An average cost of 10ml home mixed 18mg 70/30 with 20% flavour is around 84p The same mix, but no nic is about 67p. That is using figures of: £38 for 500ml 72mg PG nic £5 for 500ml PG £1.29 for 200ml VG £2.99 for 10ml of flavouring. Those figures are for illustration purposes only and may bear a passing resemblance to actual costs. |

Its more economical to buy a stronger Nic base and then dilute it to your own nic level. Here is 500ml of 72mg of juice for £38 delivered, enough for a 12mg vaper to make 3L or 3000ml of juice lol nic baseThe OP probably knows that, but was asking what we thought of the quality of the linked pre mix. It is not a nic base.  |

They also have stronger mg nic, so kind of back to the first question, is this any good quality wise do you think? They are a reputable vendor, there is no reason to think that it would be of poor quality, other than the low price, £3 for 100ml (£8.56 with postage). |

So usually what % of flavoring is added to say a 30 ml bottle of juice? How long is a piece of string? Depends on the flavouring, the percentage is the same be it 10ml or 30ml. Some tobaccos are as low as 3% flavouring, up to some of the recipes on here which end up at 25-30% flavouring. If say you did a 20% flavour mix, you would use 2ml in a 10ml mix and 6ml in a 30ml mix. |

It's not really a base, it's an unflavoured 6mg pre mix. Be OK if you wanted to make a 10% flavour at 5mg or 20% flavour at about 4mg. Might also be handy for reducing a too high mg mix. I don't understand the % part So I couldn't use this to make DIY juice by adding flavouring to it? That's what I said!!!! If you added flavouring at 10% you would get a juice at about 5.4mg, if you added 20% flavouring you would get a juice about 4.8mg. |
