Chain smoking = more cut?

[Windoze321]

Still awaiting my 1st e-cig and I've done tons of research. I've got some 36mg juice coming, and I'm thinking since I smoke WAY too much I'll be cutting it way down. My thought is to take 1ml 36mg juice, 2ml distilled water, 2ml VG and 1ml Loranns. Does this sound like a workable plan? My thought is it will be about a 6mg solution so I can smoke a lot without the headache?

Listen to your body. It will tell you if you are getting too much or too little nicotine. I would suggest having two batches. One mixed high and one mixed low for mindless vaping. Get the itch for an analog? Do some of the high concentration.

Well, I'll have 60ml total to start, so I can play some. I'm hoping this solution will be the correct thickness. I've seen where too thin or too thick is bad.

I was thinking I'd make the weak stuff, and if I was nic'n real bad I'll just drop 1 or 2 drops of the straight 36mg on the atty...

Also wondering if the amount of Loranns would be over-powering, just right, or not enough at that level? (I tend to like things strong.)

I've seen where a lot of newbies have issues, and I don't want to be one of them. Kind of hoping for a hole-in-one the 1st time out, LOL.

A link from there where Kate includes the Hackomatic-
"Jaaxx has made us the Hack-O-Matic recipe calculator and that's great for messing around with quantities - Hack-O-Matic E-Liquid Calculator

Just leave out the commercial eliquid to get rid of the nicotine and replace with more glycerine/propylene glycol.

You'll get something like this:

10% distilled water
10 - 20% LorAnn candy flavouring
40% glycerine BP/USP/food grade
40% propylene glycol BP/USP/food grade

You don't need both glycerine and pg, one or the other will do if you prefer. Amounts of flavouring will vary a lot, some are very strong and some very weak."

For myself I found that I like to prep my atomizer and cartridge with 36mg before bed. Other than that I drip and refill my cartridges with 20mg or less throughout the day unless I get edgy. Then I add a drip or two of the 36mg much like you plan to do.

Review that forum if regarding flavorings if you haven't already. There are flavors that may damage your atomizer if used.

Thanks, I've already downloaded the tool, and added a row for Oz. in case i get a flavor I really like I can do it up in bulk

From what I've gathered, as long as I stick to non oil based I'll be ok. I've got Apple, cherry and grape Loranns coming along with so many other goodies!

Now if only they could add the vitamins you would get if you were really eating those fruit flavors you ordered.

There is some concern as to additional ingredients or colors being added.
Here is a nice sheet someone else had posted which lists Lorann's flavors and ingredients http://www.exogenesis.co.uk/Loranne1.htm

Hey windoze, Learning to break down the nic mgs and make mixes has been plaguing me from the get go lol... Go check out the Mixing tips page on LiquidXpress... They basically break 36 mg all the way down ( in a 15 ml bottle)..Seeing it maped out like that, really helped me... And keep reading :: smile

Thanks Razor, an interesting read. I think I've got the basics down. Although, I did get everything I need for juice, so I went and mixed a batch using the hackomatic. I tried to make a 5ml 6mg solution. I used the drops portioning instead of the ml portioning. I won't do that again, I don't think. I have a feeling some drops were bigger than others, and when finished, I sucked it into a syringe and it was only 4ml total. Oh well, I'll try it, but I can't base anything I do in the future on the results of that mix.
