Changing ratio of a batch I mixed already? Help

[Phone Guy]

Ok, I mixed a couple 120ml bottles of a flavor I like. 50/50 @ 6mg.. It's like 25% flavor.

So it's really strong, and getting stronger. Do I just mix like 15ml with a 6mg 50/50 flavorless? Or does that end up higher Nic? Should still be 6mg right?

In a 30 ml bottle right? You are correct still would be 6mg nicotine and 12.5% flavor.

If it's a little weak at 12% flavor after you dilute it with 6mg flavorless you can start playing again and add flavor a bit at a time.

Think of doing DIY as Mixing a Drink where the Nicotine is the Alcohol.

If you make a Rum and Coke that is 25% Rum and it is Too Strong, how do you Fix It? Simple, you add more Coke. Right?

Same with what you have. If your DIY is Too Strong, add some Unflavored at the Same mg and PG to VG ratio.

BTW - The Key to doing DIY is to be Able to do it again and have it Taste the Same.

So Write down Exactly what you do to make your 120ml batch taste Better. Then post it and we will show you how to Calculate a New Recipe for next time.

Just mix up your usual unflavored base and add it. The NIC content won't change. 12ml's of base for 120ml's of mix will represent a 10% dilution. 24mls will be 20% dilution etc......

BTW - I just posted this in another Thread...

Flavor Percentage is given by Total Flavor divided by Total Volume.

If you are at 20% Flavoring for 10ml, then you have 2ml of Flavoring in 10ml of e-liquid

.2 x 10 = 2

To get to 16% Flavoring, we are going to add some Unflavored. Let X = Amount of Unflavored to add. From our Flavoring Formula we have,

(2) / (10 + X) = .16

Turning the Wrench using Algebra...

=> 2 = .16(10 + X)
=> 2 = 1.6 + 1.6X
=> 2 - 1.6 = .16X
=> .4 = .16X
=>.4 / 1.6 = X
=> X = .4 / 1.6
=> X = 2.5

So it sounds like if we add 2.5ml of Unflavored to our 10ml @ 20% Flavoring we should get 12.5 @ 16% Flavoring.

Let's Check it.

2 /12.5 = .16

.16 = 16%

Looks Good.
