    Default Cutting juice...Help?

    I had been using 18mg and just got some 24mg today. I dripped some and tried it out and with every drag I get a headrush feeling. I guess 18mg is the level that I should stick with.
    I know I can cut it with VG, right? Where do I buy it, and how much do I use?

    Thanks

    You can get VG at most Health Food stores (like Wholefoods), DIY Cake/Candy stores and sometimes Walmart.
    As for mixing ratios, use this eJuice Recipe Calculator to calculate your desired strength.

    you can get it at drug stores or like a hobby lobby type of store. You just wanna make sure its food grade....or it will say UPS or UPC.....I forget.....something with a U in it )

    It doesn't matter how much you want to cut it with. You just figure out how much Nic you want and do some math. I bought the 36MG PG and I am cutting it with 50% VG. So that would be 18 MG Nic plus whatever the flavoring cuts it to.

    Okay, so using the ejuice calculator...going from 24mg to 18mg, making 3ml at a time would be 46 drops of my flavored nic juice and 14 drop of VG?
    I know it will cut some of my flavor too and that's okay, I just don't wanna waste what I bought. I'll be buying strictly 18mg from now on.

    I've noticed that 24 mg can be a bit strong really depending on the flavor you get

    You would want 75% original liquid or a 3-1 ratio i.e. 45 drops to 15, if it's a fruit or candy flavor, you can use Lorann's in place of a couple drops of PG or VG.

    I'm on 18mg. I buy 36mg and cut it in half with VG. Twice the juice for the money.

    You don't need a calculator for simple cutting -- 18 is 3/4 of 24, so if your final juice has 3/4 of 24mg (and one part non-nic PG or VG) it'll be 18mg. You could probably just eyeball it in a spare bottle and get close enough to suit you.

    Likewise, half-and-half would get you 12mg, and 1/4 nic juice to 3/4 VG or PG would get you 6mg.

    Yes, that's correct, 46 drops of nic and 14 drops of VG

    I'm good with 18, 24's a little over the top for me, but I find I'm losing a bit too much flavor when I cut 36
