Ok, so I am looking into mixing my own liquid. Not to cut cost so much, but because from what I hear, when you do it right, it just vapes better. I'm not into paying $1:ml or more for the primo mixed jucies that everyone raves about, so I figure I could make my own for about $0.30/ml (what I get it for now)

I need to order supplies and to get enough for testing I needed a little help.

I'm going to be using water and everclear to mix two different batches. the alchool seems best for sanetary reasons, but I also would like to see if their is a difference in taste/TH/vapor production between water and the booze.

I just don't know what % of water or everclear to use when using the diy calculator (basically the % of water of the total solution). I would like to know so I make sure to order enough of everything else. Remember I'm not going for dirt cheap juice, but instead I want to make top shelf stuff. Here is what I'm going to start off with:

These are just estimates to come up with a 24mg liquid.

Start with reg VG and dilute with water/everclear (to thin out and create 25-30% of the total solution, Just dont know how much to use of each)
Mix with 40mg vortex PG (60% of final solution)
Super strength loranns flavor 10-15% to taste

So I need to know how many parts VG to mix with thinner (H2O/liquid courage) or the % of thinner of the final product.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Personally,if I was using a PG base (40mg) nic, I would cut it with...

50/50 VG/PG

80/20 VG/Everclear....this leaves you around 5%-6% Everclear in your final 24mg juice.

Alcohol (vodka is much cheaper to try) seems to simulate TH rather than increase it. By that I mean it acts as an irritant.

According to your numbers 60 PG, 30 VG and 10% flavor. I don't think you'll need much 'thinning' at those VG levels. When it comes to flavors more is not always best as there is a fine line when more crosses the line into cloying and weird after tastes. It also seems best to use more than one flavor as this makes for a more complex flavor. I would also let the new mix sit a while before trying it and making adjustments. Don't know why but a fresh mix tastes different the next day.

thanks for the fast replies guys.

thanks lecig
thats the best calculator I've found so far. Using it for current recipe. I didn't know if people were going crazy with the water/PGA or using a nominal amount that would increase the amount of VG needed

@rocket and johnny

Thanks, personally I like pasta reheated as leftovers more than when served

that sounds good firhill

My Visco-loco-meter, the big ink syringe, helps make repeatable thickness juice.
posted in the DIY section somewhere.

I have found that VG based juice (or high percentage of VG) has a higher viscosity swing with temperature. I mix at the same temperature (about 68-70F) but juice gets a little warmer when you carry it around with you. A little thicker when mixed and it won't be as runny at 80F or so carrying it around in the pocket.

I have some for sale, very reasonable. After much trial and error it's been diluted to just the right viscosity.

bigslick83

do you have in 30ml size?

Rocketman

Wimp. What's da matter, can't do full strength water?
Bet he also uses a spellchecker.

I always use a spellchecker. If I make a new recipe and it doesn't cast a spell on me i pitch the whole thing. bikes

That's what a "pot luck" bottle is for. Always toss my "mistakes" in there. Vape it later.
