Hey, if the desktop flood method works, and you can adjust thickness to meet your needs, then cool.
I made up a calibrated DesktopFloodChart for you. Print it to the scale that works for you.
NOTE: other users may have to adjust printed scale size to meet their own unique vaping requirements.

Flavor. Vapor. Quality. See why Johnson Creek is America's Smoke Juice.

i bought a 10ml bottle of 36mg juice from a local smoke shop and tried it, wow! too much nic for me, i cant vape it for to long without getting the jitters. if i go out and buy a bottle of VG from my local pharmacy cant i just cut it in half and end up with twice as much just with half the nic? im just worried the flavor wont come thru. what do you guys think?

Yes flavor will be cut.
Glad the 36 seems to high for you.
That means there is HOPE for you
Find the nic level that you like when calm, and the level when you really, really need a hit . Might be 15mg/ml normal, and 24mg/ml with that first cup of java in the morning.

You could take off on the mixing path, but why not just get a little 12mg and mix equal amounts to get 24mg? You don't want to mess up a small stash. Later, when you have extra juice then get mixing stuff, like VG, some flavors, etc.

Because i was vaping way more than I was smoking, I UPPED my nic to ~40-42mG!

My legs go numb...

I noticed that since upping the nic I can actually take a few hits and put the thing down for a while between hits. I bought some 901s from someone here; I burned the first one in 24 hours. Since upping the nic, the second one has been going for a whole 6 days now!

Nice to see the SRX again. Is the hood up while jumpstarting the Atty Smasher?
Or did you blow an atty and an alty?
Did you ever get around to trying Quasimods Tailpipe Toke method?

That's an '85 Corolla GTS, or AE86. "Hachiroku" means "8 6", they use to model number to identify the car in drifting.

These were in nicer days...

No, that's the Supra...

The Hachiroku is the one slowly returning to the elements...close a door and a rocker falls off. It would probably be done by now, but the effort is going to the Supra.

That was trhe "Panda" paint scheme. Mine was the US monocolor scheme. The Panda was used for the SR-5 version in the US. SOHC, carbeurator, weaker body and suspension, no LSD rear end (Not all had them, mine does). Even more well balanced than my Supra. That car was a blast!

even though the glycerin label you posted would be ok for butt rubbin, it has the label requirements to be vapeable also.
Glycerin, USP.
and Vegetable sourced. If if hasn't been opened and contaminated from previous butt rubbing operations, it should be fine for juice mixing. It will be too thick to use directly.
About 10% water would thin it to about the same as PG juice. (thins fast with just a little water or vodka).

no its new, i seen it at my local stater bros supermarket for $1.99 for 2oz. (59ml)
2/1 mixing is what i was thinking too. the label says to mix 2-3 parts water but that in my mind would be to thin. i'll try tomorrow at post my results.

even 2 to 1 will be too thin.

look at the results I got in post 171.
Normal PG juice is about right as far as thickness.
VG will make it thicker. Very little water will make the VG about the same as the PG.
In fact the PG thns the VG some

10% (1 to 10) water to VG for thinning. Then cut some of your 36mg/ml juice to about 24mg/ml and see if that is OK. GO slow at first or you may have to go the other way.

This just might turn out to be a fun hobby

ChRiS, that 2or3 to 1 ratio of water to VG is for use as a skin moisturiser. Rocket is right,
10;1 will give you the same "drippability" as the factory e-juices with PG.
Like the way you do your name; I have that CRS

what i'll do is make a small test with (10 drops vg, 1 drop purified water, and ten drops 36mg pg) sound about right? what do you mean by "cutting" the 36mg juice? mxing it with the ingredients above right?

thanks 40

I'll have to see if I can find it again, but I came across a few websites where you can order tobacco flavor. It would be safer than wondering how much nicotine came through while doing an experiment on your own.

Do you have any favorite mixes yet? I imagine you've down-mixed some Marlbo eJuice ... does a touch of vanilla fix it all up, or is there other flavors that go better?

this link i found talks about using snus as a way of extracting tobacco flavors for juice. i havent tried it, but i think it deserves to be read. enjoy.
