help me fix this rescipe

[drakahn99]

using ejuice me up i think i entered every thing up, however end resulted in almost no throat hit. starting with 60mh strength 100% pg nic, going for 80/20% pg/vg @12% nic strength at 10 ml volume. the test 3ml bottle i made could barely taste any of the flavor so put in 20% and 5% sweetner..

its telling me the following

nic juice 2ml
pg 0.5 ml
vg 5 ml
llime flavor 2ml
sweetner .5ml

did i miss something?

however the flavor is right on, just the TH on this bottle is almost none

thanks

It may simply be that the lime flavouring doesn't really impart much of a throat hit.. Some flavourings tend to have less than others..

You could try upping the nic. But then I'm guessing that you want the nic to be at this level, so maybe that's not an option. Generally, the more nicotine, the greater the throat hit.

Also, you could try adding a couple of drops of menthol. This can add more of a throat hit feeling.

ill try that, dont care for menthol though...

You were aiming for 80/20% pg/vg but you added 5ml of VG for 10ml bottle meanning that you have 50% vg that causes much less/no TH.

It should have 2 ml of VG to make it 20% for 10ml volume.

I suspect its the amount of VG and sweetener used. VG will smooth out th just a bit and 5% sweetener is quite a bit and also will dampen th.

FYI: 12mg nic is 1.2%

Did you shake up your bottle of nic really,really....really well before mixing ? Also,for new diy 'ers... shake your nic good before you open,and before every mix.
I diy 100% vg, and get good TH at 12mg with all the flavors i mix.

I agree with Az. You need more PG and less VG for improved TH.

50/50 gives me a good throat hit but that's at 22mg nic... i agree with everyone else that the 80/20 you were shooting for should provide a better TH.

Based on what you wanted, my numbers came out much different.

I take it you wanted 10ml mixture 80/20 pg/vg, 12mg nic, 20% Flavor + 5% Sweetener

Nic 2ml
PG 3.5ml
VG 2ml
Lime 2ml
Sweetener 0.5ml

Your PG and VG numbers are WAY off.
