So, I bought some 36mg pg nic solution, pg, and a bottle of vg from vipvaporcig. Also with a few flavorings and other basic equipment needed.

My first run, I did three batches, one of each flavor, all aiming to be 5ml at 80 pg 20 vg 18mg nicotene with 10% flavor. I added 2.5ml of my nicotene solution, one ml of pg, one ml of vg, and 10 drops of flavor.

What are usually the first results should you vape what you just created? After having stirred and moved into small bottles of course.

I tried all three on my .3 ohm dual coil mech dripper. Then tried one of them again on my .55 ohm dual coil era on a reo grand. The reo has a little less throat hit.

But, as of currently, they all taste stronger than my 24mg pre-made liquid. I don't use 24 anymore but just needed something to base this test off of.

I use the e-juicemeup calculator, but am not math-tarded, so my concentrations should be correct for the desired outcome.

I gave all three bottles, nic liquid, pg, vg a shake before mixing. I cleaned everything before mixing as well. I used different syringes for each nic, pg, vg. I made all three at the same time in different containers.

So, I am wondering does your juice simmer down over time, did I use too much flavoring, is the nicotene really not 36mg? The 24mg I based the comparison off of was a vipvaporcig brand e-liquid.

My experience is that the flavors will intensify after a few days. I haven't had any that seemed to get weaker.

You need to wait 2-3 days for the flavors to stabilize and then try them again. If they are still too strong, cut the mix back to 8% and repeat. I start off by making a 5%, 10%, and 15% of each flavor, and judging which way to go based off of the 3 samples. I'm still a newb at this, but i am a fast learner.

Unless the quantities are too small to be accurately measured with a syringe, I avoid using drops as a unit of measurement.

Also, without telling us what flavorings you used, we can't recommend percentages.

Flavors were from vipvaporcig, one was their watermelon, one was jolly rancher, the last was green apple. And yeah, I didn't want to have to use drops but it would've been .5ml and the droppers I bought I assumed had markings to 1/10 or 1/4 at least, but they have none whatsoever. So I guess that's on the shopping list.

After waiting a few days, the th was still a bit high. Mixed up 30ml of the jolly rancher with same ratios and flavoring amount, just dropped the nicotene to 12 and fresh batch, first impression, = great.

Maybe it's my new crazy quad twisted 32 dual coil at like .25 ohms that really ups the th. So I guess it's just time to step it down a notch :p
