100 % VG and 18mg Nic with 12% water and 8 % Flavor...looks too runny and does it reduce the Nic potency ?

Absolutely NO PG whatsoever
Using Kanger Mini Pro tank 2 ...2 days old.
Also using 1100 Battery Non Twist..2 days

I followed what some had chimed in on before, but it looks runny in the tank and I just cant help thinking it is weakening the Nic Potency and reducing the Vapor production too.

If I dropped the water and Vaped it would that hurt my new setup ?


What I would like to do is vape 100 % VG and 36mg Nic with No Flavor, but that will be another thread.

If your nic is at 18% and that's what your looking to have even adding flavor will thin it out

One thing I really would like some clarification on is If I dropped the water and Vaped it would that hurt my new setup ?

Seems like I read somewhere that that would clog coils ?

maybe there is a setup that would be more suited to what I want to do, possibly an MOD of some kind ?

Are your flavors VG or alcohol based? I would think without the water it would be too thick. You'd get dry hits but it wouldn't hurt your protank because you wouldn't be vaping long enough because of the nasty taste to do any harm.

How thick is your VG? I've heard it can vary from vendor to vendor, some almost like honey to some not much thicker than PG.

I get it from Wizard Labs, Currently Menthol flavor at 8 % and it does have a bit of PG...

You may think there’s no PG WRONG the flavors its self has PG in it.
And yes adding to juice will dilute Nicotine
GOTO and the calculator eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator

 

[we2rcool]

Our "base" for every juice we make is 80% VG and 20% "dilution"...the dilution is 9% distilled water; 9% sterile saline (same viscosity as the water) and 2% PGA (pure grain alcohol).

We mix that with the various flavors to end up at 12mg nic (we use VG nic).

Our juices are not ever "too runny" - in fact, we're planning on testing a higher dilution tonight (which will a total dilution of 25% -- 14% water; 9% saline and 2% PGA). The saline definitely makes the flavors 'pop'.

Using a calculator will ensure you have the correct percentage/amount of nicotine in your mix...no matter what ingredients make up the rest of the bottle. eJuice Me Up is great. Once you play around with that awhile, you'll understand better (and it'll be so much easier for you).

Thanks, tried to use that Calculator, but I use Linux and wine requires .net frame work so I just not interested found one online and it is simple.

Well I think 10-15 % water makes it runny My VG 18 mg Nic from wizard is thick but still seems to me that all this adding is thinning out the potency of the Nic.

If you are starting out with 18mg/ml nic, then absolutely....anything you add to it will decrease the amount of nic to less than 18mg/ml

 

[Blkwdw86]

I work with nic as a total by multiplying mg/ml by total ml. 10ml of 18mg nic is 180 mgs. If you add 1ml of anything, that 180mg of nic is divided by the new total of 11ml for a net strength of 16.36mg/ml. When divvying higher strength nics to lower strength juices, you figure your desired strength and volume (say 30ml of 18mg), multiply for the total (18x30=540 total mg), then divide yoir source nic to determine how much volume you need for your juice to achieve it (say 36mg nic source, the 540mg you want divided by the 36 mg/ml source nic would give you a needed 15ml of 36 nic to make your 30ml of 18mg juice).

Call me old school. Calculators are nice, really handy, but you need to have a basic understanding of the theory to be able to double check yourself and your calculator. Nic will make you sick if you err, and nothing errs like computer programs.

Think of it as a cocktail if you want a rum and coke it will not be as strong as if you got a shot of rum.
