Baby steps

[Newtsche]

You all have me believing I can do this, gonna mix my own. In my other thread here in DIY, I'm trying to lose the nasty buttery flavor so many e-liquids have.

I'm working with the eJuice Me Up calculator; I have a source for unflavored e-liquid base, working with 50PG/50VG, 100mg nic. So I gather I'll also need some VG and PG. I want to mix up unflavored batches in different PG/VG, shooting for majority PG as the target (throat hits).

So I enter the stuff into the calculator, here's what I don't get. So much nicotine ejuice, VG and PG. But also computed is a given amount of "Flavor 1". Now on the left, under Flavor 1, I have "Flavor Zero" checked. Where does the volume on the right come from under Flavor 1? It's 6ml for a 30ml batch, huh?

What am I missing?

Are you changing the percentage of flavoring to zero?

 

[Newtsche]

Are you changing the percentage of flavoring to zero?

Yes

 

[Heabob]

You can enter 0 for all flavorings if you just want a plain PG/VG w/NIC mix.

Don't forget to enter your desired NIC % and final PG/VG ratio.

BTW I cut my 100mg NIC to 50mg to be safer for handling/mixing.

I you have a 60ml bottle of 50/50 100mg base, dump it into a 120ml bottle.
Then add 30ml of each (PG and VG), shake well.
Now you've got 120ml of 50NIC base to work with.

Here's what I'm seeing-

OK, I see my mistake, it's that 20% in the right column of Flav 1, on my way.

 

[Teresa P]

Exactly.....unless you're using any vg based flavoring, the percentage of your pg based flavors is 100%.

You're in an unusual position--and lucky, in a way: most people seem to want buttery and that's where all the risky chemicals are--in the buttery flavors!

I'm curious about your handle. Are you the new Nietzsche?

LOL, no

I've used it since 1998, based on a cat we had. Others have also thought it was based on Nietzsche, implying a lot more gravitas than yours truly carries. I've thought about not using Newtsche for just that reason but Newt was my best buddy ever and he lives on a little.

As for the buttery, I'd still be on the cigs if all juice tasted that way.
It certainly limits what works for me, that's for sure.

I feel ya I can not stand any juice made with any flavoring that has even the tiniest bit of acetyl pyrazine and yes it is tough to make any desert/bakery/and even a lot of tobacco mixes. I wish you the best of luck.
