Cutting juice...Help?

[sbphotog]

I had been using 18mg and just got some 24mg today. I dripped some and tried it out and with every drag I get a headrush feeling. I guess 18mg is the level that I should stick with.
I know I can cut it with VG, right? Where do I buy it, and how much do I use?

Thanks

You can get VG at most Health Food stores (like Wholefoods), DIY Cake/Candy stores and sometimes Walmart.
As for mixing ratios, use this eJuice Recipe Calculator to calculate your desired strength.

you can get it at drug stores or like a hobby lobby type of store. You just wanna make sure its food grade....or it will say UPS or UPC.....I forget.....something with a U in it ;-))

It doesn't matter how much you want to cut it with. You just figure out how much Nic you want and do some math. I bought the 36MG PG and I am cutting it with 50% VG. So that would be 18 MG Nic plus whatever the flavoring cuts it to.

Okay, so using the ejuice calculator...going from 24mg to 18mg, making 3ml at a time would be 46 drops of my flavored nic juice and 14 drop of VG?
I know it will cut some of my flavor too and that's okay, I just don't wanna waste what I bought. I'll be buying strictly 18mg from now on.

I've noticed that 24 mg can be a bit strong really depending on the flavor you get

You would want 75% original liquid or a 3-1 ratio i.e. 45 drops to 15, if it's a fruit or candy flavor, you can use Lorann's in place of a couple drops of PG or VG.

I'm on 18mg. I buy 36mg and cut it in half with VG. Twice the juice for the money.

You don't need a calculator for simple cutting -- 18 is 3/4 of 24, so if your final juice has 3/4 of 24mg (and one part non-nic PG or VG) it'll be 18mg. You could probably just eyeball it in a spare bottle and get close enough to suit you.

Likewise, half-and-half would get you 12mg, and 1/4 nic juice to 3/4 VG or PG would get you 6mg.

Yes, that's correct, 46 drops of nic and 14 drops of VG

I'm good with 18, 24's a little over the top for me, but I find I'm losing a bit too much flavor when I cut 36

I bought VG from the Vitamin Shoppe & some Lorann's from walmart. I cut it from 24mg to 18mg using 46 drops of nic juice, 4 drops of VG, and 10 drops of flavoring....and all I can say is yummmmm. Tastes alot better than before.

I think I'm gonna start buying 36mg flavorless juice and mix my own. Where can I buy flavorless juice?

Nhaler.com:Welcome to NHaler! has 48mg as well as 60mg flavorless, which really goes a long ways, however it is PG, If you don't mind PG, that is if it doesn't bother you, PG makes my throat sore.

If you prefer VG unflavored, Liquidxpress.com:Products > Unflavored E-liquid has 36mg and 16mg, called naked liquid, and they have it in both PG AND VG

Does the VG produce lots of vapor or is PG better for that?

Sorry, I didn't get back here sooner. to answer your question,
VG has waaaaay more vapor than PG. I'm getting clouds of vapor now that I switched to VG. (Alot smoother hit too, IMO)
