Hi,new to diy liquids,need some info?

[Kendo42]

Hi all,been vaping since January and recently bought a 75w sigelei,used to have a subox but stopped as I was using too much juice££$$. So figured I'd save this time and do my own. I made a 20pg/80vg batch and it was very harsh,no fruit flavours. Since Capella concentrates are pg based would I need to add as much as a calculator says. One said about 2ml pg,but I've downloaded juicemeup and input my flavouring as pg based,calculation said I don't need to add any pg,would this be right and what's it going to taste like?

Thanks for your help

The pg in the flavoring needs to be taken into account when doing your ccalculations. If you're adding more than 20 percent flavoring you'll have more pg than a 80 20 mix. Sounds like the app did that and adding additional pg would be overkill. Pg is thinner vg is thicker. Vg has a naturally semi sweet taste (I vape 100 vg unflavored mostly)

Hello @Kendo42 and welcome to the forum. Trust the ejuicemeup calculator. Most flavorings are pg based so if you are using 20% flavor and your nic is vg based then the calculations are correct, you would not add any pg.

As to the harshness, nicotine level is one possible reason. Make certain you have the nicotine entered into the calculator correctly. As to the flavor, you can use too much of a flavor and it would "mute" the flavor. Also some flavors take time to steep (meld) before they become vapeable.

Brilliant thank you for the quick response. I made 6 10ml juices first off adding extra pg,not good for lung hitting. Trial and error I guess.

The great thing with DIY is that even if you mess up, or you're not completely satisfied with your creation, it's extremely cheap to try again. Good luck with your juice making!
