oh wow, one last thing i promise... i read a long time ago something about you have to leave the juice in the dark for weeks and then vape it, with this you sent me can i just put base + flavor, shake it and good to go like you just said??

yeah you can just mix it and vape it right away. You dont need to steep it (leaving the juice in the dark etc), the people who do those are the eliquid flavor fnatic people, i think they are kind of kookie :w00t:. If you vape it right away, the flavor basically tastes exactly how it smells/tastes right on the spot, after a while when you leave the juice around sitting there the flavor changes, could be for the better or for the worse, but if you vape it right away it tastes fresh just how the flavoring smells. The benefit of this is, after you mix it and try to vape it, you say to yourself "oh that tastes good, but i think id like a little more flavoring", then you just put more drops of flavoring and try it again lol. No waiting around to see if it works out or not a week later when you vape it. You could just make a small batch of 5ml, try it out and if it taste disgusting just throw it out.

one thing id suggest if you do try this - say you are buying a peach flavoring, try peach from two different companys, some company make better flavoring than others. I also would reccomend you just buy small amounts of flavoring like 10-20ml bottles or less even - the flavoring is strong and most of the time you dont use it all, just order a bunch of different flavorings in small amounts, then when you find out what you like you can make a bigger order of the flavoring next time.

Yes I agree with the others. But I don't know how much water should be used to dilute it enough for a Nautilus. Can someone please give us a idea how much water to add. I am curious myself. I want to use some of my max vg in a Nautilus Mini
Have no idea for Nautilus, but for Protank (cotton wicks), Kayfun and Taifun 10-12% water worked fine for me.

I had the same problem with the "premium" 50/50 ones..so I went "max VG" at places like VistaVapors & Mt Baker, ITC etc..it's 80/20 and I don't lung hit unless it's a 6mg (too "peppery" the 12mg I normally vape if I'm not lung hitting/chain vaping with a 6mg)

if you want to go that whole mix it yourself stuff..that's the most economical way to go.

If you are totally stuck on using Max VG juices, you may wish to consider a change in gear. Really look at a rebuildable tank like a goblin, lemo or cthulhu. they will give you the benefit of handling higher wattages and can deliver actual flavor from a high VG juice.

i ordered the kanger subox mini which has up to 50W and has RBA as low as 0.5 Ohms can this work for good flavor??

thanks

hi alice, its me again with another question... i guess i lied when i said it was the last one Lol

i went to the site you gave me, bought a bottle of the 250ML VG and also a couple of flavors... but now that i read, the flavors says that it contains propylene glycol and the main reason for me to buy it was to get 100% VG, did i mess up? i mean i can still use them for my wife but will this still have the same coughing experience for me as the PG based juices i vape as of now??

thanks

the flavors you ordered were flavoring right? not actual eliquid?

Most flavorings are mixed in PG base and are highly concentrated. They come in bottles, but when you are combining the flavorings to the VG juice, it will only be like 10-20%. So in total after you finish mixing your juice, it will be 90%VG/10%PG or something like that depending on how much flavoring you add. It's not as bad as PG eliquid though, I can barely tell the PG is there when I vape unless I add tons of flavoring. You dont really add much flavoring to the mix only 10%, so it wont affect you as much unless you are really sensitive and allergic to PG

Oh now I understand... I'm not allergic I guess I just cough when I hit the 60/40 I got so far...

Thanks
