You want Tasty Vapor's Blueberry Cheesecake at 24mg, right?

You have two options. The second option will cost you less per ounce.

First
Go to Tasty Vapor
Under "Product Range" pick "e-liquids 1 oz."
Cheesecake e-liquid is on the second page.
Select 24mg for the strength.
Pick the % VG you want. (24mg is available with 35% VG or less)
Select the flavors you want added -- just blueberry or do you want a second flavor mixed in?
Order it.

This will cost you $15 + $5 delivery. ($10 + $5 when cheesecake is a flavor of the week.)

Second
Do the same as above but, instead of selecting 24mg, pick 48mg. (48mg can have a maximum of 10% VG)
Next, under "Product Range" pick "2 oz doublers."
Order the blueberry cheesecake the same way you did the e-liquid.
If you want higher than 10% VG in what you vape, take care of that here (see below.)
Order both items.

This will cost you $15 for the e-liquid, $10 for the doubler and $5 for delivery.)

When you get it home and you've given it a week or more to age properly, take a small dropper bottle and put the same amount of e-liquid and doubler into the smaller bottle. Put the cap on, shake it well and add it to your electronic cigarette for vaping.

When you have used up your entire bottle of e-liquid, you will still have half the doubler left so the next time you will only need to buy the e-liquid. (You could buy the 4 ounce doubler instead of the 2 ounce one. It has enough to turn 4 bottles of 48mg e-liquid into 24mg.)


Because you are adding equal parts e-liquid and doubler, you just average the strength in each or the % VG
1 part 48mg e-liquid + 1 part 0mg doubler
48 + 0 = 48 divided by 2 parts = 24mg

1 part e-liquid at 10% VG + 1 part doubler at 30% VG
10 + 30 = 40 divided by 2 parts = 20%

1 part e-liquid at 10% VG + 1 part doubler at 40% VG
10 + 40 = 50 divided by 2 parts = 25%

And so on.

1 part e-liquid at 0% VG + 1 part doubler at 30% VG
0 + 30 = 40 divided by 2 parts = 20%
I plan to buy some e-liquid at 48mg and cut it down to 12mg using the 4oz doublers. Using the logic above, would I be correct in saying that:

1 part e-liquid 0% VG + 3 parts doubler at 30% VG
0 + 120 = 120 divided by 4 parts = 30% VG?

Just curious because I would like to mess around at 30% VG.

1 part e-liquid 0%vg + 3 parts doubler at 30% vg
0 + 90= 90 divided by 4 parts= 22.50% vg

If you want 30% vg, just order the e-liquid in that % also.

NanC's calculations are correct. But 48mg e-liquid isn't available with more than 10% VG.

If you want to figure out your MG and your VG at the same time, ChainVapor's calculator will help.

Or
1 part e-liquid at 0% (100% PG) plus 3 parts doubler at 40%
0 + 40 + 40 + 40 = 120/4 = 30%

1 part e-liquid at 10% plus 3 parts doubler at 40%
10 + 40 + 40 + 40 = 130/4 = 32.5%

1 part e-liquid at 10% plus 3 parts doubler at 30%
10 + 30 + 30 + 30 = 100/4 = 25%

Check your bottles. Does it say "35%?" They say, on the site, that if you order more VG than they can give you, they'll add what they can.

I always assumed that the PG liquid that contains the nicotine takes up a certain amount of space. If you order 12mg they add 1X milliliters and 24mg gets 4X milliliters. Then they add the flavoring mixture. The amount of space left is the maximum VG they can add. So, while 1X milliliters plus flavoring leaves half the one-ounce bottle free for PG or VG or a combination, 4X milliliters plus flavor fills it 90% of the way and you've only got 10% left to play with.

But, as I said, that's just an assumption. We need someone from the Tasty Vapor team to verify or contradict it.

The one bottle does say 35% and the order I had ordered as a 35% came in as a 20%. I just assumed that it depends on the person mixing the order if they would give the % requested if it does not match what the website stated.

With so many variances I have seen when making an order through Tasty Vapor it has become difficult to be sure I am gonna get what I order.

I ordered Menthol with Dairy at 35% VG I get it at 20%. I order a 4oz Doubler of the same but at 70% VG and I get that. The only thing that has me really confused and I have not heard back from anyone at Tasty Vapor is:

The Juice at 48mg and 20% VG has a strong pinkish reddish look to it but you can taste the menthol. The Doubler is a pale yellow with NO taste what so ever. No menthol or dairy to it at all. The juice tastes great, I expected to split it up with the doubler and when I do, it completely destroys the taste of the juice. It is like I am vaping just VG with a touch of PG.

I have greatly enjoyed everything I have tried from Tasty Vapor to date with this exception.

The VG in your bottle is determined by the greater of 1) the amount you requested or 2) the space available in your bottle.

TV uses PG for the nicotine base. The higher mg you select on the order screen, the less space for VG in your bottle. The website states 48mg can usually only have 10% VG.

Nicotine has a reddish color. When you select high mg, it will make the color significantly different than a doubler.

My experience with high VG juices is that the flavors take much longer to steep or blend or whatever it is that they do...:unsure: And even after aging, VG doesn't carry flavor nearly as well as the high PG juices.
