This will probably become your best source. Don't be put off with there being craft brewing stuff. The flavorings work for cooking, baking, craft brewing, vaping. Be cautious to
not use any oil based flavorings. Those are what cause the
scare as oils can settle in lungs. Use water soluble flavorings instead.
As to the amount of water/moisture you might get from vaping in your lungs? It's comparable to what you get built up by showering daily per year. And this will dissipate out of your system readily so as to not build up. You'll expire it out via simply breathing. Least ways this is what I've gathered from half a dozen or so sources. No, cannot cite but the info is out and about readily enough if looked into (read
common knowledge).
Here's a basic list;
PG -- To liking
VG -- To liking
Nicotine -- Or not, to liking
Flavorings -- Or not, to liking
Nicotine is usually expressed strength wise & generally discussed as for example 18mg/ml. That means 18mg of nicotine per ml of juice. flavorings are discussed as percentages or in ml, mg depending on how you set that up. Some even use drops. Usually don't see flavoring go too much over 10% of volume of juice.
Pg and Vg are in percentages. You'll see 70/30 a good bit, or Max Vg/Pg. You can get nicotine in either "carrier" so as to keep your percentage ratios as you want. That's what Pg & Vg are called, carriers. They carry the flavors/nicotine. Pg gives more throat hit and makes juice thinner. Vg is smoother giving more vapor cloud, thicker juice.There's also 50/50 which blends the two in equal proportions.
Note you like to use unflavored. I do as well. Folks generally call that "base". It's your PG/VG & nicotine, that's all. I like a max Vg base @ 18mg/ml nicotine. Can add a little flavor now and then as desired just to hump over monotony. Like mints a bit, bubble gum some, ... keep coming back to unflavored.
Recipes look like:
Batch size --- 60ml
Pg -- 70%
Vg -- 30%
Flavoring -- 5% (carrier for nicotine/flavorings is pg at roughly 5%)
Flavor A ....... .10 ml / 3 drop / 2 gram
Flavor B ....... .02 ml / 1.5 drop / .5 gram
Flavor C ...... .03 ml / 1.7 drop / .7 gram
(numbers above are just illustration example)
nicotine strength -- as desired
Kind of forget your batch size, you're always targeting 100%. You can also kind of forget any +/- from nicotine. It'll all "cram/blend" in together.
You might better think 60ml is say 100. You'll use 42 ml of Pg to get 70%, or rather 39 if your nicotine is in Pg. Whatever is left is then divided up with flavorings, Vg, nicotine.
I got the 42 and 39 respectively by multiply 60 by .70 and .65. 1 ml is 100% and that's what I'm "aiming" at. 70% of 1 ml is .70ml. That's the only reason you recall your batch size, "how much am I getting made up?" Sorry if my "shortcut math" seems to not make sense. it does for me but I'm a math dyslexic. *grins* Besides that K.I.S.S works out for scattered minds as well as organized ones.
I do likewise for doing the flavorings. So for example I'll figure out 5% of 60 ml is 3 ml. I then use 3 as my 100%. Then, I can divide up however many flavorings go into a recipe via percentage/ml using that "batch" as a 100 target.
Also important note from upon high at
Grand Central Recipe Masters United, "
we shall always place Pg before Vg in any recipes or discussion of such, that is all." The rationale being you never need ask, 70% what, Vg,Pg? Non, it's always 70% Pg. This keeps everything standardized, unified, clear for all.
*sees raised hand* "No, Mr.
@harry_wilson the Grand Central Recipe Masters United is not a real thing. It is a fictional name given to common convention among vaping ejuice mixers though.
Everyone (or nearly so) has kind of agreed this is the better way to discuss the ratio/s of Pg & Vg in ejuice."
*knew/knows Mr.
@harry_wilson will/would raise a hand to question as he is a Raven, one new and seeking knowledge ... often tosses out bits and bobs for ravens so as to keep everyone seeking*
If we stop seeking, we lose curiosity & wonder, lose those and you lose majik. Seeking creates majik. with majik worlds are created, tales woven, folks entertained and informed, life carries on as the tides ebb and flow. All is well.
