Help! Second mixing experiment gone wrong

[ahmadrulz]

Hi guys

I've done about 6 months of e-liquid mixing with Totally Wicked's e-liquid kit. PG nic along with PG only dilutent. All though, no issue at all.

Next I decided to go for Wizard Labs PG nic, PG & VG dilutents.

Made my first mix, and damn. Making it to about 12mg strength, same as earlier TW mix, this time I added 20% VG as well.

It's given me blisters in my mouth, my teeth feel weird. What's going on?!

Basically, it very harsh, throat hit is insane. I've always heard VG is smoother, reduces throat hit, etc.

This has none of that.

I've made 2 batches using 36mg VG Nic, and PG/VG dilutents, down to 18mg batches. All WL products. I have yet to have any problems. It might be better to extrapolate on exactly what you mixed up, and how much of each so that others can point you in the right direction.

What was the nic strength at the start before diluting it to 12mg ? 100mg,60mg,48mg,36mg,24mg.??

 

[ahmadrulz]

Indeed. I had heard great stuff about WL too. I got the 60mg 250ml bottle.

do you have a nic test kit? sounds like way to much nic.

 

[dannyv45]

Could be your allergic to VG?

I would,

Recheck the calculations on your base.

Vape the VG alone and see if it irritates.

Test the NIC strength

 

[tidegirl]

How much nic base did you use, and how much juice did you make with it?

I agree, sounds like too much nic. Maybe your calculations were off.

Danny's suggestion to vape the VG alone will be the simplest way to eliminate the VG as an irritant.

I recently switched to all vg and found the same. Turns out that I am vg sensitive. Lame!!! Never heard that there was such a thing. With that said, I would still check nic levels, but you may be vg sensitive. WL is an awesome place, and if you have questions, they respond very timely.

Might want to read this posting and read the comments from others in the same boat. You are not alone and do keep in mind TW likely cuts VG nic using with Aqueous Glycerine which is VG and distilled water. So you may want to be sure to cut your VG with approximately 10% distilled or deionized water. I don't have the answer but from what I have read it could be to much nic, pg sensitivity or something related to the flavoring. I am pretty certain however it has nothing to do with Wizard Labs as many on here have been vaping their nic for a very long time. So you might want to contact [john @ wizard labs] and see if he might be able to help you nail down the problem.

Canker sores

Just a quick rundown of the formula I got from the mixing calculator:

60mg nic - 5ml
PG - 12.5ml
VG - 5ml
Flavor - 2.5ml

This made me 25ml of e-liquid. Sounds okay?

What flavoring are you using? I vape heavy VG and the only time I get mouth/canker sores is when I vape flavorings that have triacetin in them. Actually just responded to someone elses post about triacetin. You could also have an allergy as others have said.

Posting the full recipe and percentages used helps. I see you posted ml's but its late and I dont have the brain power left to convert it... lol

 

[bcollier9253]

If my math and thinking is right that would be 15mg nic strength.
60mg x5ml=300mg
300/20ml pg,vg,flavor=15

 

[Wingsfan0310]

300mg/25ml (total amount of juice made) = 12mg/ml of Nic

Cheers,
Steve

As long as you're sure you got the right amounts. For example, if you accidentally reversed the PG and nic you would have 30 mg/ml juice.

I see you have been around much longer than the 6 months you have been mixing this. Have you had VG before? If you have, it seems strange that you suddenly developed the sensitivity. But I guess it could happen. I suddenly developed sensitive skin in my 30s.
