Now that Im pretty happy with my hardware, I would like to venture into cutting my costs even more with DIY juice and before I buy, I wanted to ask some questions if that's ok... I know we have handy calculators out there, but I would like to know the hard math / calculations etc..,
Shooting for a 70/30 VG mix at 6mg 10mL bottle for example...
So, juice is VG+PG+Nic+flavor. Understood. I prefer my juice a higher VG then PG. If I were to buy say 60mg 60mL VG base nic, do you dilute right into your final mixture or can you "pre-dilute"... IE.., 6mL of nic to 94mL pure VG would net me 100mL of 6mg nic unflavored, yes? I could then use this mix as my nic/VG? So I would combine 7mL of that already made juice, and 3mL of pure PG, to net a 70/30 6mg nic unflavored solution? Now, to add flavor, I could use 7mL of that pre made nic/VG, 2mL of PG, and 1mL(2x .5 mL, 3x .33mL etc..,) flavorings? Is this general math / idea correct? If not, could you please steer me to hard formulas that could steer me correct?
Im after a vicks type menthol blend, no "extreme ice, wintergreen, etc..," just pure menthol main flavor, with small hints of different fruits I enjoy. I want to get the menthol part down. Im not quite understanding the whole menthol crystal and pure grain alcohol mixing... Nor do I understand why the calculators have a water option.. Im assuming bottle water would be the best? (Disani, aquafina?)
Thanks for reading and any help or knowledge you could provide!
