Err...ummm....:blush:
I notice the calculator says water optional, so that's no biggy...however..
it says flavoring and well, we'd be using the juice we already have (premixed flavor, nic, and PG/VG). So, based on the calculator.. I'm lost because it says "flavoring" not premixed juice. I don't want to do this wrong.

How do I cut already mixed juice? And how do I know how much of what to put in to cut it from 24 to 18?

Anyone ever cut down their already mixed juices? If so, how?

just put a 0 for flavoring and for water.... don't need to add those.


to get 24 down to 18 you would add... it like this... making a 15ml bottle of juice...
11.3 ml of PG with nicotine (the premixed juice u have) Then u would add 3.7ml of no nicotine VG (this can be bought in the health and beauty department at walmart it is also available in the cake decorating part of walmart or any hobby shop like Michael's) that would give u about an 80 20 mix of PG to VG and cut it to 18 mgs

I would recommend taking this question to the DIY forum. That's what a lot of these folks do. OR you could order a different strength of pre-mixed eliquid! :closedeyes:

I have noticed that certain juices leave me with a headache.. it's too bad, they are really tasty juices, but not right for me personally. Of course that probably has something to do with the particular hardware I use (510 with 3.2 ohm cartomizers) Every now and then I have to replace some old juice as well. I would highly recommend trying out some totally different juice for a day or so to see if you can narrow the problem that way.

Thanks again Heather!! :)
I don't have an iPhone (don't really want one either lol) but that's pretty sweet to have it so easily accessible. Technology eh? :thumb:

Ya know, I was thinking that as well. I was vaping Ms. T's juice today (Spearamint) and it immediately hit me. BUT, I can vape her Red Hot Cinnamon Candy with zero issues. It's so hit and miss it seems. So many variables to think about. I'm going to first lower my nic level, and if that doesn't work, try messing with the PG/VG mix, and lastly, the flavors. I really hope it's not Ms.T's flavorings..she makes AWESOME stuff!!!

Yep and my hubby is the only one who understands it... I forget to charge my cell phone ALL the time so he won't buy me an iphone... (don't really want one either LOL) I'm pretty clueless when it comes to technology :confused:

I should also mention that since my headache was SO bad today, I stopped using the liquid and popped on a cartomizer from VaporKings. Still 24mg nic, but unsure of the PG/VG mix in it?? Anyway, my headache has drastically improved over the course of the afternoon/evening. Hmm..why didn't I think of this before?? It's not totally gone, but, it's MUCH better than it was earlier. Now, if it were too much nic, it would still be throbbing.. so maybe it IS the mix of PG/VG...OR...the flavors in some juices....
the detective work begins....

For reals. All those variables plus hardware, atty temperature, and how hard you hit the thing make for some real trial and error.

well, this was actually a combo I made... it's apple 24mgs from ecigarettecigar.com
cut in half with PG no nic liquid (get it from a farm supply or tractor supply store) and then about 10 drops of cinnamon extract by mccormick's which u can get in the grocery store usually in the baking aisle where u get vanilla extract etc... watch for it tho u want the kind that has PG in the ingredient list... it's better for the atty)

If I order PG and VG, and I want to cut the juice we do have from 24mg to 18, doing an 80/20 PG/VG mix...how do I do this?? The juice we have is currently already 80/20..

The simplest way to go about it is to get a bottle of PG and one of VG and mix them 80/20. Or alternately, a bottle of 0mg nicotine PG/VG mix already made up.

I started by buying 100ml of 0mg + 100ml of 24mg. First thing I did was mix them 50/50 to get a 12mg mix and vaped that. I found it was too high for me, so I made another mix of 75/25 to get 6mg, and that seems perfect for me.

If you wanted 18mg from the 24mg, you'd make a 67/33 mix. I did small batches to try them out, using the above ratios in drops - like, 67 drops + 33 drops, etc. You can do it in milliliters or whatever measure you want, as long as the ratios are the same.
