Cutting juice

[Wackinya]

So with regards to buying higher strength juice and cutting it, How much PG/VG can I add to flavored juice before it loses its flavor. IE if I buy 36mg coffee flavored juice and cut it down to 18mg by mixing 1ml flavored nic with 1ml straight pg will I lose flavor? Can this even be cut? Or do I need to buy straight unflavored nicotine, cut it, then add my own flavor to make it work.

Just wondering. I am going to be ordering some juice soon and figured maybe I can save a few bucks going with a higher concentration juice and then just cutting with some straight PG I bought with my first e-cig order.

or you could do what i and others have done. Order from Tasty Vapor with say a bottle of something that is 48mg nic with the same flavor doubler that way you can cut it down to the strength you like and not lose any flavor.

The easiest is tasty vapor 1 oz nic and same flavor doubler You won't lose the taste and can cut the nic down to where you want it You can really personalize the flavors or go with his mixes Awesome liquid

I third TastyVapor.

That said... it depends very much on the flavor and the strength of that flavor in the source juice, as well as your equipment. I think you'd probably start to notice flavor dilution at the 50% level using pure PG/VG, however. 25% is probably just about the upper limit you can get away with without noticing a significant flavor drop-off - again, it depends on the juice however, if the original juice's flavor is "too strong" then it might be wonderful at a 25% cut and still good at 50%.

Borrowed from a different post:

Let me first start with a general equation. mg per ml = strength / bottle size

mg per ml = well you guessed it, how much mg per ml there is in any given bottle size that you use in the equation

strength = the nic content of the fliuid you are using to mix with (12, 18, 24, 36 etc)

Bottle size = the number of ml in your bottle.



In this section I'm going to break down how to cut your 36mg liquid to your desired strength.

First the assumptions!

You are using a 15ml bottle, and you are using 36mg nic liquid.

By using the Above equation you have



x = 36 / 15

x= 2.4

For every 1ml of 36mg liquid you put into a 15ml bottle you will add an over all 2.4mg of Nic.

Pretty simple huh? Below I have broken out a 15 ml bottle with 36mg strength for you at all levels.



With a 15ml bottle:

1ml of 36 mg nic liquid mixed with 14ml of filler material (VG, PG, Flavoring)in a 15ml bottle will give you overall a 2.4mg liquid, so here are common strengths listed out:

2.4mg (1ml 36mg nic + 14ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

4.8mg (2ml 36mg nic + 13ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

7.2mg (3ml 36mg nic + 12ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

9.6mg (4ml 36mg nic + 11ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

12 mg (5ml 36mg nic + 10ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

14.4 mg (6ml 36mg nic + 9ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

16.8 mg (7ml 36mg nic + 8ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

19.2 mg (8ml 36mg nic + 7ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

21.6 mg (9ml 36mg nic + 6ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

24 mg (10ml 36mg nic + 5ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

26.4 mg (11ml 36mg nic + 4ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

28.8 mg (12ml 36mg nic + 3ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

31.2 mg (13ml 36mg nic + 2ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

33.6 mg (14ml 36mg nic + 1ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

36 mg (15ml 36mg nic + 0ml of PG, VG, flavoring)

Now I would recommend that you should start (when premixing at first) with one of two recipies:



1) Lightweights (you like low nic) (15ml bottle)

4ml of 36mg nic liquid + 7ml of PG or VG your choice + 4ml of Flavoring (not lorann's, but the water based off here)

That's a 9.6mg liquid that should taste good.



2.) Medium to Heavy (higher nic)(15ml bottle)

10ml of 36 mg nic liquid + 5 ml of flavoring

That's a 24mg liquid that should taste good!



Remember you can change up the percentages, add a little purified water if it's too thick, add PG or VG if it's too strong, add some more flavoring or less. That is the whole point to get something you like!!!!!

Hopefully this chart will allow you to easily know how to cut your nic liquid from now on!

OK so if I have some 48mg RY4 and want it to be 12mg............10 ml bottle? I can't figure it out? Is it 3ml 48 mg + 7 ml VG to get 14.4 mg?

I have some juices ordered from someone on ECF and they are 26mg, 36mg and 48mg (I count on cutting them all down to around 12-16mg with VG - they are all already flavored).
