So I decided to give mixing another go, but before I go any further I will explain the shambles that was my first mixing attempt a few months ago.

I was happily Vaping liberty flights PG range and though I would give this mixing lark a go, I looked into it (not as much as I should have done in hindsight) and decided to buy some 54mg pg nic base, some pg and some flavourings. Mixed up a few bottles and although the flavour was coming through it was extremely harsh and produced puny amounts of vapour. Well I was stumped, I had followed the mixing calculator perfectly, and was left with a few useless bottles of harsh tasting rubbish. Ahh well back to pre mixed for me it was.

Then I actually read more into how to mix properly and looked in the mixing sections of the forums (yes I should have done this in the first place I know, I know) and realised where I had gone wrong. No VG! Determined to have another go my foolproof plan was to not bother with the 54mg base I had sat in my supplies and to buy some 18mg unflavoured base at 50/50 pg/vg this way surely I can't get it wrong all I need to do is add flavour right? Well that was the plan until a friend of mine came to my house for a mixing session and brought VG with him to dilute my 54mg base nic. Panic mode kicked in a bit but with the help of the e juice me up calculator we mixed up 5 x 10ml bottles of juice at 24 mg for him with only one slight incident.

The incident was just pure lack of concentration on my part. I was mixing a 10ml bottle of spearmint and had already added the nic and the VG to the empty bottle, instead of using my dropper pipette to take flavour and put it into the awaiting bottle, I took the diluted nic base and put it into the spearmint bottle. Then complained for 2 minutes that these stupid bottles didn't hold 10ml as it was full to the brim now and had no room to shake it up, I did eventually realise the full bottle had a spearmint sticker on it   Sort of fixed it by just adding the top layer of the liquid in the spearmint bottle into the now depleted bottle of base, gave it a shake up and then put it into a 306 dripper. On the plus side it tasted great buuuuuuut it might not have been exactly 24mg anymore lol.

After he had gone home I got my 18mg base nic out and managed to mix 200ml of liquid without further incident. 100ml of spearmint and 10 x 10ml bottles of various other flavours. Everything is steeping away in a box now so hopefully this time around my mixing attempt will be a sucess. If not then I will no doubt try again but at least it will be the right strength and a good pg/vg ratio so it will be vapeable to some degree or another =p


Has anyone else made silly mistakes like mine when you first started mixing? Or is it just me that's intellectually challenged =p
