First time DIY juice, followed calculations, incredibly strong throat hit, thin vapor

[WageSlaveEscapist]

I have a 5.3v 2a passthru running boge 3.2 cartos [that measure at 2.8]. I made my own green apple strawberry liquid, following the amounts exactly on the ahlusion calculator and measuring with a syringe. The throat hit is so darn strong that I can't even inhale it, and I have steel lungs. I dunno what I did. I even tried adding more VG. My nicotine bottle says "100mg nicotine, 5ml, pg base" so I figure it is 20% nicotine, correct?

Also, these 3.2 steel cartos from madvapes are just performing like crap, three in a row so far, very thin vapor I'm hoping its the liquid. What do you think I'm doing wrong?


EDIT: I got it working. It had WAY too much nicotine, I realized after I tasted it. I added a bunch of pg and some vg and a little flavor and it's one of my favorite flavors yet. I love making liquid! But what went wrong? Did I misread the nicotine content? It's not 20%? Was the calculator wrong? Well come to think of it I put in 3 ml of the nicotine, which had a pg base. That's my problem huh. So I'm supposed to put in 3ml of pg, and how many drops of nicotine? Is it 20%? Help please?

100 mil nic isn't something to screw around with. It can be dangerous.

pure nic is 1000mg per ml...
100 mg nic is 10% nic by volume.

If you are starting with 100 mg base and you want to end up with 5 mls of 20mg juice... You only want 1 ml of nic base.

What you made is 60 mg/ml... You're lucky you didn't end up in the hospital.

Way too much nic. Dilute it by half so it's workable. I also suggest working with ejuicemeup calculator and inputting your ratios to make sure you don't overdose the nic again.

Damn man you have got to be careful! Maybe you should try say 24 to 36mg base and work with that till you get the hang of it.Not trying to sound harsh just dont want anyone getting hurt
