I know this is probably a very big ask, but, nothing ventured.......

I would like to make a replacement for my current favoured vape which is the Caramel from VapeEscape.

Been buying it at 18mg, and then had an accident and ordered 8mg as that is what the web site defaults to, and I had not realised it did this until it arrived. I was left far too low on juice, so had to go with it. It's not been enough of course, but has shown me I might be able to get by with less nic.

Now that is kind of hopeful, of course. However I now need to look at making my own replacement for that juice as it does not come in an intermediate nic level, and so I will be compelled to make my own.

Not sure what mg I want just yet, all I do know is somewhere between probably 20mg and say 12mg, and I have the thought in my head that I should probably make some serious effort to get used to a lower number in that range. To help me there I would like a bit more flavour as that is what seems missing to me the most at the new 8mg level.

I'm seeing 54mg available at VE right now (only the rather more expensive 30ml sadly), and I'm seeing PA English Toffee, also Decadent's Caramel.

I got some VG in the fridge, and could grab some PG too I guess.

My off the top of my head calcs show that 54mg divided by 4 could yield something like 13.5 mg.

Am I at least thinking in the right direction yet? ??? 

I'd like to crack on and place an order this evening if that might be at all possible. Is that likely to be even remotely realistic?

I was not really planning on being here for a month or two more yet, but it seems that events are conspiring to push me forward a bit quicker than I had envisaged. Not a total disaster of course, but could have gone a bit better really! 

Thanks both, I felt it was likely but was not 100% certain it was the case!

Now I've had time to think about this it prompts me to ask another question; it does seem in this case that the outcome is likely to be the result of averaging the numbers between the data available. Is it safe to rely on that at all times with this aspect or is there some other maths required?

It's just that so far I never saw anyone say explicitly that you simply use "average" as the means of calculating the new resulting numbers, however it does make some sense that you might do it that way. It could be that this is a fluke because I decided I wanted to mix the ready made juices 50/50.

It could be that no one said to use average or that I have yet to bump into that bit of advice?  ???

I'd like to understand if I can as I would one day like to mix my own and understanding this is bound to be part of gaining the knowledge required for that.

Sorry if this seems like asking the blooming obvious!

I seem to have had another senior moment when ordering juice.

Meant to order 18mg and have somehow managed to order 8mg instead (aided and abetted by the vendor web site's default strength option!)

So I can get 24mg, I'm not 100% sure yet what I might expect to get if I add them together in equal amounts?

I do know that 18mg is perhaps a bit more than I really need or want, but also that 8mg is probably a bit too low of a drop too soon, having tried some.

Just looking for an easy way (fool proof would be good!) to get it somewhere in between the 18 and 8.

Could some kind soul help me out with an idiot's guide to mixing this one away please?

I think you are right, and that highlights a way forward; it's not really just one issue, I would not see it as unreasonable that there were some regulation over making sure consumables were safe enough and of good quality. That's desirable obviously, but the problem is that this is not the whole story and there is a separation needed to almost say that e-cigs were the original item but vaping is a new thing which has grown out of it.

Also that even if there were legislation to some detriment to nic bearing e-juice then that should not be grounds for it ALL to go away. As a diabetic I can hit cravings for sweet things which I absolutely can and must not consume! I may get off nic eventually, but I'm certainly not going to be stopping vaping sweet things I may crave but otherwise would not be able to have a taste of should I want to!

If we split out the various positive aspects and tackle all of those then we will be arguing fact, not playing politics and all that other grimy & sordid stuff where we could lose our point.

Was a very positive item or two.

One at start of show dealing with legislation etc, and a tasting by hardened smoker later.

Program was "you and yours" not sure if it can be downloaded or "listened again". Not my strong suit that area of tech.

Page no longer exists - miffed - Oh well, I hope Jason at VE has the good sense to get some! I suspect I'd like to try one myself.
