36mg + Xmg =24mg?

[ZambucaLu]

I got 16mg and I'm trying to make it stretch.
I think next time I'll try 24mg.

So, Half and half, will work? for example 5 drops of the 16mg and 5 drops of the PG.

It all depends on how many mgs nic you are tyring to make, Ann. As monkey said, mixing half and half of the 16 will give you 8mg. Is that what you want? Also, another good tip there...get 36mg. You can cut that several ways to make damn near any nic mg you want.

I'm on the coast, but we can think like we're neighbors....same state and all!
Like I said, I'm really new, but feel free to pick my brain if it would help. I'm reasonably good at math and at obsessing about a new hobby.

Thanks, I don't do math, lol. I probably will ask some questions as I go along. I like my new hobby also. I just need to get all my ducks in a row, so to speak.
I have seen some more people from VA. on here. I think one is from fairfax.

I guess all I want is to get the most for the money and still have enough nic in a puff. The carts I'm vapeing now are 11mg, that seems to be enough for me.
So I'm trying to figure out how to cut 36 or 24 or 18, so I get about 11mg or 12mg. I think between you and monkey I'm beginning to get the picture on this.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

You're welcome Ann. If you get 24mg, you can cut it in half to make 12mg of nic. If you get 36mg, you would use 1/3 of that plus 2/3 of PG or VG to get 12mg.

But just be aware of something. When you cut like that, you do lose some flavor....and the more you cut, the more of the original flavor you will lose. In essence, while "watering down" the nic, you are also watering down the flavor. So after diluting 36mg, it will not taste as strong as the 36mg you started out with.

Just thought I'd mention that in case you didn't realize it.

For my first order I kept it simple. I just got marlboro lite in the low (11 mg) for carts and one extra juice. I figure I can experiment after I see what my 'base' is.

For my next order I plan on getting full flavor marlboro in 36, which I will mix into a low-nic, lower flavor blend. For now I'm looking to replicate the Doral Ultra lites I've been smoking for years (Marlboro Ultra Lite is my 2nd choice of analog).

Future orders will include flavorings as my tastes change, I'm sure. But right now the oddball flavors just aren't appealing. Vanilla or coffee, maybe coconut later on, but I can't see myself rushing off to buy strawberry kiwi bubblegum flavor to vape.

Ok, I think I am on the right track now.
Thanks to badmonkey and SambucaLu.
You are not going to beleive what I did today. I got my 901 from Eastmall, and I added a drop of blueberry to the cart and I'm just so happy with the taste. I didn't know before that the LorAnn flavors had PG in them till I got mine out of the cabinet and read them. I have 13 of them from my candy making days. Any whoo, now all that you all have said about adding to the mg makes since.
I kept thinking " if you add pg what will happen if I add flavor?"
Now I know that the flover has PG in it so it won't lessen the vape thing. Please tell me I'm on the right track...lol.

Sounds perfect, Ann. There's lots of posts about using LorAnn flavors. Folks really seem to like them.
You're doing great!

Gosh, that means a lot to hear that.
Also, thanks for taking the time out of your day to help me out.

Yes, Ann, if you reduce the flavor due to cutting, you can always add some lorann's safely back in to give it more flavor. Once you get going, you'll have a blast

Good luck!

I like blueberry. I might try that one a little later. I'll have to mailorder stuff like that because I live in the sticks and we don't have anywhere to shop for things like that.

I suppose I could add liquor to them. We can get liquor just fine around here.
