DIY-ish question

[bzmotoninja83]

OK so, I bought a bottle of "tobacco Europe VT3" from vaporheads.net because I like it and it was on sale. When I ordered it I figured what I needed was 50/50 vg/pg.
Apparently I was wrong because its almost like water.

The bottle I ordered is 30ml. The last bottle I got was 17ml but can't for the life of me find the ratio needed for it to be more syrup like. I do have a 2oz bottle of glycerin I picked up from Michael's a while back.

I think the ratio was 60/40 or 70/30 vg/pg.
if I were to mix the new liquid into a empty 20ml bottle how much of each should be used?

yes it was tested on animals, no it didn't fit.

I'm not one of the pros here but can help with this. First, the glycerin you got is USP grade right? They say that's important.

Second, before you do anything, you know this will dilute your nic and flavor strength some. Depending on the juice this might not hurt.

All set? Piece o cake. Get the e-juice me up calculator (there are others but that's the only one I use and know)

Put 50%pg 50%vg 0 (zero) mg in the Nicotine line up top.

Make the amount you want to make say 10ml to try it out.

Then put 70/30 or 60/40 down where you say you what you want the result to be.

Hit enter. Viola!!

I'm sure I missed something since I'm not looking at the calc. But you should be able to figure it out. Or ask more questions.

50/50 shouldn't be like water. Something is not right. You can adjust it with VG, but it will diute the flavor. I'd contact the company to tell them, maybe they will send you a replacement in case you end up not liking the diluted flavor of the adjusted batch.

Good point spaz!! See I told you there were pros here. Don't know how I missed that. Unless of course your prior bottles were vg only. Them 50/50 might seem pretty thin.

I thought something was seriously wrong. I've co tacted the company multiple times and no reply. Maybe I'll just stop shopping there......

As far as the nice content, not that big of a deal. Trying to seen myself down. Still trying to find out why this e juice tastes and smells like an ingredient that's not even listed. Namely lemonade as opposed to tobacco, chocolate, caramel.......

And thanks for the input on the calculator.

Sounds like you got the wrong juice. Bottling mix up. Who knows what it is. Does the company have a phone number that you can call?

 

[bzmotoninja83]

That's the thing. I've called, emailed and texted the owner. I even friwnded him on Facebook a while ago and can't get an answer. If I can't get this solved or at least get them to fix this bottle, I'm done. I'll drive 30+ mins to a B+M store. That way I can sample a flavor before I commit to it.

So far it seems that I may hav to stop ordering entirely from this local "vendor". Can't seem to get them to answer me for anything.

Just out of curiosity, how thin should a 50/50 mix be?

I've been making up DIY at 50/50 for a few months now (switched from 70/30 PG/VG). It's fairly thick. Not like honey thick, but definitely not watery. I adjust my 50/50 juices with 5% water for use in a carto tank, just to make them a little less viscous.
