I just finished reading a couple threads, the old mixing by volume/weight "discussion" and one on pre-mixing a base nic. Both brought up a question I have had since I started vaping, so thought I would throw it out for opinions.....
When I first tried dropping my nic level, I knew what level I was vaping and wondered if by knowing, it was influencing my acceptance of the decrease. Dropping from my 18mg to 12mg was a pretty big drop, but if I didn't know which I was vaping? And only using store bought, was I really getting 18 and not 16, especially when they "bumped up" some 12 for me? Then figured it didn't matter as I was kicking the sticks.
Now I am at 6mg and DIY with store bought sprinkled in. Reading about the accuracy, or lack thereof when mixing by volume or weight (please, let's not go there) and then adding flavoring to a pre-mixed base changing the nic/PG/VG percent of the finished juice, I am again wondering. Whether mixing to a 24mg or 18mg nic, a 6mg or 3mg nic, a 50/50 or 30/70 PG/VG ratio, how far off could one be in either nic percent, PG/VG ratio, or both and not be perceptible once vaping the finished product? Or perhaps "immediately recognizable" would be a better descriptive?
