That's pretty much what I've been doing. I use the 11 and put about 3/4 of the TW in and then about 1/4 of PG or VG and I was assuming that was giving me around 8. It does stretch it a little. I was trying see if I bought like 18 and could get it to 8 to save more, but I think it might dilute it too much.
Yeah, as far as the taste, you can only experiment to see how far you can go... you can go farther if you add something like Lorann candy flavoring, but you have to find a complementary flavor and you won't likely end up with the flavor you started with.
Yeah, I realize you weren't really having a go
but as soon as you move off of 0mg, most of the savings disappear.
Are you vaping 0mg?,
I got the impression your tendency to the Dark Side was stronger young Luke.
No offense, but I think your definition of 'most' is a bit off. If your desired strength is 18mg, and you buy 36mg (keeping in mind that all strengths cost the same) you are saving 50%. In order to not recognize long term savings, you'd have to be diluting only into the high 20's.
And just to give a real-life example of this, I mix 50% TW 36mg with 20% Lorann Brandy flavor and 30% PG/VG to get 18mg Brandy juice that is as good OR BETTER than any pre-packaged flavor I've tried...
I pretty much understood the effects of cutting liquids before I really got into doing it in the first place. The only pre-flavored juice I've ever purchased was the TW Menthol. From the very beginning, I set out to make my own. I primarily buy unflavored. When it's not available (more often lately) I sub something to use as a base. Since a lot of my recipes call for chocolate, I got TW's Chocolate. Diluting it most certainly weakens the flavor. But as I'm going to add Lorann's Chocolate into it anyway, it doesn't matter.
I know this doesn't help a lot if you are hooked on a premix. It wasn't really intended to. The whole point was to get folks exploring their DIY options.
Er, that's my whole point, 0mg = almost 100% savings (just cost of PG)
any nic. strength = 'only' 50 % saving on bought price
- i.e. most
btw I've got nearly all of the Loranne flavours, but have only
plucked up courage to try the uncoloured or lightly coloured ones.
I get the impression you're leading the 'vaping flavours to the max' scene,
do you get any probs with the almost jet black ones , like walnut or pralines&cream,
whether atomizer probs or breathing related probs. ?
The darkest I've used so far is the Root Beer... check out my "Chocobeer" recipe in my blog or in the forum. When held up to the light, you can't see through the stuff. I've had no problems with the colors... no tooth staining, etc. No hardware problems as of yet. No health issues (that I'm aware of). I still stay away from any flavor that has oils or sugars. Colors, not so much.
[Edit] Ah.. I see our fundamental difference. We both realize it's a 50% savings. You look at it like "It's only a 50% savings" and I look at it like "Wow! It's a 50% savings!".
Which is weird, cause I'm not usually a 'glass half full' kind of guy. Except when it comes to saving money
Ok, that's good.
btw Root Beer is one of those ones I'd call 'contains .... extra things' :
Then again, perhaps that detegent keeps your atomizer clean

Actually, I did research into the Polysorbate 80 and Potassium Sorbate. It's lying around in a recent thread somewhere... bottom line, they are both safe to inhale. Here's what I found:
I've found this info on Potassium Sorbate:
INHALATION: Potassium sorbate is not known to cause respiratory irritation.
www.celanese.com/msds/pdf/795-38339233.pdf
Polysorbate 80 as a nonionic surfactant, is widely used in liquid pharmaceutical products such as inhalation suspensions and nasal suspensions...

Pardon the interruption. I hope you guys don't mind if I throw another outlook in the mix. I look at it like: Buy one get one FREE! And that puts a big fat grin on my face.
yes Walrus, I suggested this to folks about 2 months ago,
but good to reming the newer members who did
not see the earlier posts.
Di .......

I've found that suggesting things and spelling it out sometimes have a different effect.
I can say all day "mixing your own will save you money" but showing exactly how much money is more ...um... effective.
Okay, has anyone diluted a TW flavor by 50% and had it be okay? I could buy the 18 and do 50/50 and get 9 and double my money. I have been doing 75/25 with the 11 and it's still okay with flavor I guess I should just try a 50/50 with my 11 and see how much I lose. DUH. lol
The only TW flavor that I've diluted and not added Lorann's to is the Menthol. You know what I said about that
After diluting 50%, I can use it without my wife asking if something is wrong 
Walrus - since you like your money, I'll throw this at you
If you really want a gallon of liquid, you can just buy it very inexpensively, whatever flavor you want.
2 x 1.200KG = $185,20 All Liquid for Electronic Cigarette Electronic Cigarette Portal Liquid
Now let's do the math:
2.4 L / 30ml = 80 , so equivalent of 80 x 30 ml bottles
So divide $185/80 = $2.13 per 30ml
well, plus shipping I guess. $3?
Now keep in mind that price is for any strength you want. 0mg = none - 8mg=LOW - 11mg=Medium- 18mg=High 24mg=Vhigh - 28mg=XVhig - 36mg=XXVhigh
Hell, you could buy 36mg, and cut that 50/50 if you want too, that gets you to $1.50 per 30ml bottle.
Cool? lol

LOL Cool, Wal, then I'm going to order the 18 on my next go around and dilute 50% to make 9. That will save me 50%.
RjG,
Takes away all the fun. And then there's this:
Our liquid has undergone and passed toxicity testing by China's governmental safety officials.
So far, these aren't folks I have a lot of confidence in. Yeah, I know all of our liquid pretty much starts out in China... this gave me a chuckle though.

In order to buy you from there have to agree to this:
"Always inform good whether your order/goods can past your customs. Using our services means equal with being agree with this conditions."

Boy, I'm going to miss the enjoyment I get from reading the China English when e-cigs grow up!
