Newb question.

[hammerdean]

Hope this is the correct forum to ask this.

OK, got a stupid question to ask, that's why I'm a newb! Got my first order of DIY supplies today from my vendor. I Ordered;
1 liter VG
240ml of PG
60 ml of nic, 100% VG base.
and 10 ml of 16 flavors and other goodies

My stupid question is, in order to mix (first attempt ever) the Sweet & Creamy Strawberry eliquid,

at 70/30 ratio, 30 ml worth at 24% nic
70% VG,
30% PG,
How much do I use out of the 60 ml bottle of VG nic base? And how much from the other VG bottle?

Simple question, but I'm to stupid to figure it out. I vape the Smok, Alien TC 220 w/ a baby beast tank. I also have scales.

That calculator looks vile try this one https://makemyvape.co.uk/index.php?route=information/calc

When the words fail... music speaks!

What ratio are you shooting for for PG/Vg content??? I must be overlooking it.

 

[hammerdean]

No thanks Koolzerro, I like the ejuice calc. But thanks for the suggestion.

On second thought, that one looks pretty simple to use. much appreciated.

Weird that that calculator lumps PG/VG together...
You need to clarify - is your base nic 60mg/ml strength? Or is it 60 mls of 100 mg/ml strength?
That's important!!!

If it's 100 mg, here's the recipe you had in yours, done in e-juicemeup.
MLs of each ingredient on the right, to achieve the recipe entered on the left.


(Short answer 7.8 PG and 13.8 VG)

It's 60 ml, VG base @100% MG

 

[hammerdean]

I might try the eJuice me up calc,

thanks Train.

So that's;
7.8 PG
13.8 VG
and 7.2 of the VG base, 100 mg nic juice????? Correct?????

 

[hammerdean]

I was using the incorrect calculator. In another screen u can choose which u like. The one I should of used is listed. It shows the VG & PG separately. Oh yes...I'm a idiot.

Well, I mixed my first and only juice today. It was Sweet & Creamy Strawberry. It turned out pretty well. A bit too strawberry for my taste. I went over just a tad on the strawberry. I used the Inawera Shisha Strawberry. That shit is pretty strong. I ran out of my store bought juice, so I shake & vaped and filled my tank for now. I will let the remaining 30 ml steep for a couple days and test again. And yes, I did take notes like a good boy... lol. Other than that, I'm a happy vaper. Hell yeah..DIY is the only way to go.

I think you'll find Shisha Strawberry to be good after a few days, then it goes into a transitional cocoon for a few days where the flavor hides. A week after that, it comes back to stay, transformed into a beautiful butterfly.
Remember to always shake your flavorings before mixing.

While I like it as a S&V, some folks like anything with FA Sweet Cream in it after a week of ageing. You might be one of those folks...

Don't forget to shake you nic before mixing as well.

Thanks for tip guy's, much appreciated. Yeah', I thought about that as well-the berry mellowing out after a few days in the dark. Actually, after 6 hours since I mixed it, it already tastes better. The FA Sweet Cream is really good, I think I will be getting more, good point Ron. I took Friday off work, just so I can play when the wife's away..LOL. Oh yeah, I'm building a "mixing machine" out of an old cordless drill, it should work quite well, hopefully awesomely. Is that such a word?? Anyway, I will post some pics when I get it built. I love building shit..lol.
