Adding VG to juice I bought

[The Batman]

So I've been vaping a little over a week and am finding that pg irritates my throat. I ordered a bunch of 70/30 PG/VG juice and some 50/50, the 50/50 isn't as bad. I bought some VG from wizard labs and I'm wondering how much VG do I need to add to the 50/50 and 70/30 to get around a 70VG/30PG mix? I know it will dilute the nicotine and flavor a bit but I figured I'd give it a shot until my new juice gets shipped. Thanks

Well since we are dealing with percentages here, we need to know volume.

The 50/50 is in a 30 ml bottle, the 70/30 are in 3ml, 10ml, and 15ml. I also have 6ml bottles that are 67/33 pg/vg.

Google "e liquid calculator". It'll do the math for you.

This can't really be answered.

70% of 30ml is 21ml. 30% of 30ml is 9ml. The only problem is there isn't really 21ml of pg in that bottle.

To find out for sure you would have to know how much flavoring there is because the pg/vg ratio is strictly the amount of those 2 ingredients.

If we assume (we don't really know) there is 20% flavor that would mean there is actually 6ml. 30ml minus the 6ml of flavor leaves you with 24ml of pg and vg. 70% of that 24 is 16.8ml and the remaining 7.2ml would be pg. By that logic adding 9.6ml of vg would balance them out but, again, you won't know unless the company tells you what percent is flavor.

To add more fun to what we don't know, how much pg is in the flavor and do you need to calculate that, lol.

edit - I know you didn't ask but adding that amount of vg would cut and 18mg mix down to 13.6mg

I don't know about vendors, but the calculators I've used take into account the base of your flavoring (vg or pg) when calculating your mix. If it is 70/30 it is really 70/30 including flavorings.
For instance, if the flavorings are pg based they become part of the pg percentage in the overall calculation.

 

[Penn]

The one vendor who would tell me their ratio said they don't count flavor in the ratio. That might be just them or might even be the flavor wasn't pg based.

edit - but that goes more towards the point that we can't answer the OP

Thanks guys, I didn't even think of all the other variables when I asked the question. Going to experiment with an empty 6ml bottle later and see how it goes.

To make it a little simpler for you a 70/30 mix of 10ml . if you add 3.5 ml of vg you will come close to 50/50. 51-48 ish. it's going to knock your nic and flavoring down too

Adding 4ml VG to 10 ml 70/30 will give you 50/50
