Big mistake, How do I fix this? Juice error.

[JJOOHHNN]

I ordered several bottles and by mistake I ordered 30/70 instead of 70/30. What was some excellent flavors are vile when it is PG dominant.

Will it be a simple matter of just mixing some max vg juice that would go good with the flavors I got or is there more to it than that?

I ruined some old favorites doing this.

You could try it, but keep in mind that you could end up with even more nasty juice than you already have. So it would be best to start with a small batch of mixed juice and test it before going large scale. Just keep track of the amount of each that you add so you can recreate it on the large scale.

What about just ordering the same flavors at max VG and mixing them? What flavors and vendor are they from?

I seriously doubt it. I agree with smacuser--get same flavors in 100% VG and same nic strength and try to change the PG-VG ratio this way. Unless you've ordered ridiculous amounts of juice--then that might be impractical...

Also, are you sure that PG is so vile? I vape 70 or 60% PG ejuice and I like it much better than high VG juices... I know it's just my preference, but give it try. I honestly don't see how higher percentage of PG in otherwise good ejuice could make it unvapeable...

Good luck!

John of double letters, I've had to reconfigure some eliquids that only came in high VG (and like Katya, I'm much more of a higher PG vaper). How strong is the flavor? This is critical as you CAN tweak it to a higher VG, but you will lose out on the flavor profile. It might be worth a shot to try it in a small amount.

I see how you made the error. It's customary to put PG before VG. You ordered 70/30 juice when you wanted 30/70 juice. Oof.
You'd have to do a lot of dilution to reverse it: 4 parts of VG to every 3 parts of what you have, and then you'd have very little flavor and nic left.
But you could potentially save it by diluting it to 50/50: you'd only need 2 parts of VG for every 5 of what you have.

I’m assuming at this point that you can’t just return them for the correct mix. That would be the easiest course.

As to can they be repaired, maaabe....
It depends on how it is done. You’ve got Xmg nic, Y mg flavoring, A mg PG, and B mg VG in each bottle. If you bought some Max VG of that exact flavor and nic level, and mixed in the right amount you’d alter the relative percentages of the VG and PG without altering the relative percentages of the flavoring and nic.
In theory.
You’d wind up with nearly double the amount of juice you originally had though. @GOMuniEsq ’s statement of four parts to 3 sounds vaguely correct just sitting here. I haven’t done the math though.

The real bugbear is the flavoring. It’s contents and percentage level is unknown, so a DIY style solution is off the table. The only thing I can think to do is get more of the exact same juice and hope.
VG and PG do taste different, but not all that much different. If a change from a VG predominant base to a PG predominant base is enough to change it from great to awful you have some fairly sensitive tastes and this still may not work, in which case you’ll have double the amount of juice you still can’t vape.

It's customary to put PG before VG.

Alas, it used to be customary in the past, when we started transitioning from 100% PG ejuices only to some with VG added. Now it's not customary at all, so you really need to pay attention when ordering ejuice. The first company I noticed listing VG first (years ago) was Ahlusion.

I was going to bring that up, but it seems like a tired debate as this point and it looks like JJOOHHNN has been around a while. That's why I inquired about the vendor and if that's the way they present their ratios.

 

[Katdarling]

Risking redundancy, fixing the "error(s)" has much to do about the percentage of flavorings.

 

[JJOOHHNN]

I might actually be OK, for quite a few years now I have been buy juice off the shelf at vape stores. Reason being is not planning ahead and when I would run out of juice I would go to a vape shop since I did not want to wait.

I decided I wanted to go back to ordering directly from juice makers again. I forgot about letting juices steep since I have been doing the vape store thing for such a long time.

I took another taste and I think what was bothering me was a alcohol like taste to it. I have a feeling it will be good after I give it time to steep.

Here we go again! Please always use the letters VG/PG. Or should I say "VVGG//PPGG"... couldn't resist that one.
