CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[rave]

I think this is what I've decided to do,,,,,,but I can't figure out to order it all PG, all VG or some mix??? does it matter? I want to wind UP with 70PG/30VG, but will be buying VG and PG to add,,,,,

I can't tell you what to buy because what works out for some won't work out for all, but here is what I have on hand (other than a ton more flavorings than I need). I have 60mg nicotine with the balance being PG, a bottle of VG (USP grade), and a gallon jug of PG that I picked up at Tractor Supply. I also have blunt tipped syringes for measuring and seem to prefer the 3ml size, a small beaker, and some cheap plastic shot glasses from Wally World. Other than empty bottles to hold the results, I don't need much else other than rubber gloves. I don't mess with sweeteners or menthol crystals. Oh yeah --- lots and lots of paper towels. As soon as I post this, I'll think of something I've forgotten.

And Wizard Labs gives you 2 free pipettes with every order, so don't go crazy with supplies. Get a graduated cylinder though, if it's in stock. I'm waiting for the 10ml glass ones (I mix 10ml at a time).

 

[CommaHolly]

so I should need 40 ml of 60 mg nic juice juice,,,,,,
82 ml of Pg and 48 of VG and 30 ml of flavoring (if I use 15% flavoring,,,,,and I like extra flavor,,,,,,but just in case, I will order a bit more of everything)

SHOT GLASSES!!! I need shot glasses

thanks, Rave,,,,

I know everyone is different, but it helps to have an IDEA when you start,,

 

[CommaHolly]

how long do you guys steep, or does it depend on the flavor????

They're just useful for dumping small amounts of things into. I use those shot glasses all the time!

I vape fruit flavors mostly, so I just .... don't. But that's just me.

I heard the desert and cream flavors need more steeping,,,,,

 

[CommaHolly]

I can't wait to make apricot!!

Heck, just get a couple of 20ml, 10ml, 5ml and 3ml syringes for measuring and mix right into the bottles. It is a good idea to get some large gauge blunt needles, like 14 or 16, for them so you can "pull" up the PG more easily. I take the needle off to "pull" up the VG because it's so darn thick. Time to start saving those empty liquid bottles so you have something to mix/store you "mad scientist" concoctions in.

 

[CommaHolly]

you don't know how many empty 10 and 30 ml bottles I have stored because I have been thinking about this for weeks

 

[CommaHolly]

twenty 10 ml bottles and 15 30 ml bottles,,,,,

guess it's been longer than a couple weeks

The wind is blowing about 50 mph up on the mountain today and I keep losing my connection, I'll check back later. The internet was out most of the day and it's killing my social life...

Speaking of wind I just ordered that weather station you recommended cant wait to get it.

Let us know how you like it. I have a remote thermometer/barometer but no wind speed or rain gauge and really want to upgrade.

 

[Bluesman]

good idea!!!! hum,,,,,,I go through about 200 ml of juice a month at my current rate,,,,,,off to check!

I think this is what I've decided to do,,,,,,but I can't figure out to order it all PG, all VG or some mix??? does it matter? I want to wind UP with 70PG/30VG, but will be buying VG and PG to add,,,,,

Holly, I make liquids 70pg/30vg and I use 60mg in a PG base. It's not necessarily what you want to do, that's just what works for me.

Ummm.... 200ml a month? I think you better order 55 gallon drums. Just kidding.

PG from Tractor Supply if you have one near you. Great buy.

 

[CommaHolly]

I think we do have a tractor supply,,,,,,,,,,,hmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Bluesman]

Some people steep, some don't. It's all up to you, Holly. If you mix something at the amounts you want and it doesn't taste exactly the way you want, let it sit somewhere for a while. Flavor and potency change over time.

You'll learn as you go along what you like and what you don't like. Start with the one flavor mixes; watermelon and apricot you mentioned. There's a starting point. Have fun!!!

 

[CommaHolly]

thanks, Blues! Nice to know I have you guys to ask questions of

I plan on having fun!!!
