Ok 1st little mix but nothing magic.

Got some high TW banana today. 1st thing I noticed was it was a little thinner in appearance than other liquids I had tried. The banana taste wasn't as strong as I would have hoped for. So..

Around 2ml of TW banana High, approx 1.5ml vg and 3 or 4 drops of Lorann banana cream. Quantities are estimates but the juice has taken on a nice viscosity, giving good flavour and just a few drops of Lorann has really helped to pick up on the banana flavour.

Vaping it now and I think maybe 2 more drops of Lorann. This liquid is quite thick too maybe a few drops of vodka?

Mmmmm ... sounds nice. I have some banana eliquid on it's way to me

What about some more Wicked to thin it out if that doesn't raise the nic too much for you.

Kate.!.
can you translate your regular recipe into drops or ml. (instead of % to make a total of 5ml?
10% distilled water
10-20% Flavor
20% commercial 36mg
30% VG
30% PG
I'm sitting here trying to remember grade 5 math and completely lost!
I have my free sample 10ml of 36mg tasteless and really want to try to make vanilla/englishtoffee tomorrow and really don't want to waste this tiny sample of tasteless..
Thanks!!

10% distilled water = 0.5ml
10-20% Flavor = 0.5-1ml
20% commercial 36mg = 1ml
30% VG = 1.5ml
30% PG = 1.5ml

There you go Misty

You'll probably have to adjust the flavouring to suit your taste. I use LorAnn and that can be very strong or weak.

Hi kate morning.

I tried cutting 24mg liquid with vg and the result was not good.

Mixed 2 droppers full of 24mg Cigar with 2 droppers full of vg and added 4 drops of Lorann Flavour.

By droppers full I mean I expelled the air from the dropper and sucked up Liquid the length of the dropper.

So Cigar 50% vg 50% then added the 4 drops of flavour.

Vapour was fine, but after around 30 - 45 min I had a seriously upset stomach.

Have not touched the vg again.

I did try the Lorann flavour with some of my regular liquid just incase that was the problem and my stomach was fine, so am assuming the vg does not agree with me.

Am now going to try pg as all the liquid I vape is pg based and at the very most has only 10% vg in it .
I have never had an upset stomach or dry mouth with the pg based liquid from the start so I guess pg agrees with me.

As I am going to be using about 50% commercial Liquid as opposed to 20% will I still need distilled water ?.

I mix PG-liquid with PG-based flavours (Bickford) and, if needed for getting lower nic, pure PG. I don't mix in water and it's fine as it is. I think this is the way you are planning?

Hi Keef, as Katink says, you might not need water, it's only a matter of getting the right consistency and pg is not as thick as glycerine.

Frankie mentioned recently that he tried some glycerine that he found locally and it made him unwell but after trying some BP grade stuff that someone from the UK bought at Boots the chemist and sent to him I think he was ok. So maybe you are sensitive to glycerine or maybe it could be the brand you are using.

Maybe, it's only high, can't remember the strength of TW high as they tend to vary. It may be a bit thick for cart use but dripping in SD is awesome. Lots of vapour, nice hit and the banana is so sweet.

I had some TW menthol high too that I'm using in my 1st 4072, just topping off a regular cart with it. Nic is ok, not too high, but I do have to put it down from time to time.

I'm really just practicing for when I get some 36mg stuff in.

I might go rustle summat up with the bubblegum and butterscotch. Not together though

Edit.. Found it in small print on bottle. 24mg
