How do I cut PG juices with straight VG???

[hoku808pc]

Most of the juices I have are PG based and are a little harsh on my throat when inhaled... I bought some glycerin from the pharmacy section of Walmart and added some to my RY4 from Rocky Mountain Vapor... I think I killed some of the flavor by doing this, and the TH is still a little too harsh for my liking...

My questions are:

Am I supposed to mix the glycerin with something before adding it to the juice???

Right now, it is a 70PG/30VG mix... so how do I know how much to add if I wanted to make it a 50/50 mix???

Help is much appreciated... Mahalos

Mixing pure VG without any extra flavoring in it will reduce the overall amount of flavoring in the entire batch. Even worse, is that VG has a tendency in itself to reduce flavor in vapor. You're also reducing nicotine content. So basically, by adding even more VG, you will be weakening your juice even further. I guess the plus side is it will produce tons of vapor... Many times TH might be too harsh due to too high of a nicotine content as well. You might try reducing it next time you order, unless you are already down to a really low mg.

Yes it will dull AND dilute the flavor as well as lower the nic and dull the TH.

I don't know how to get from 70/30 to 50/50... lemme think

Actually, the nic level is pretty low (11mg) already, and I don't mind going lower... Cutting down the TH is my main concern... the flavor is good, but I don't mind if it weakens a little either... I'm basically just tryna figure out the PG/VG mix that will keep me content... Thanx for the reply...

Add 20% more vg?

If you had 10mls (11mg/ml=110mg) of a 70/30 mix, we can assume that 7ml is PG and 3ml is VG. So, in order to make it 50/50, you'd need to increase the VG by 4ml so that the content would then then be 7ml PG and 7ml VG (total adjusted volume=14ml). This would lower your nic content to about 7.9mg (110mg/14ml) and would also reduce your flavouring.

I just add drops of VG till the juice is tolerable.
Too much and your juice will have no flavor.

Damn Cactusgirl... You're good... LOL... Okay, thanx... I will try that tonight when I get home from work...

Good advice... Maybe I'll do it this way first and see what happens... Thanx

Lets see.....if they were drops...... 7 drops PG + 3 drops VG = 10 drops total. (current liquid). Add 4 drops VG. That's 7 drops PG, 7 drops VG, = 50/50 in 14 drops total.

So % of current volume substituted for drops in the above. Add 40% of your current volume (VG) to the bottle???? Might want to check with an e-juice calculator. You end up with 140 % of Original Volume, 70% OV is PG, 70% OV is VG, =140 % OV.

Taste goes way down. Also, harsness/TH is often due to improper atomization/badly performing PV. Try cleaning the atty 1st and make sure you have a fresh charge. Just a thought.

EDIT: crap... they beat me to it.. . Good to see a confirmation.

Buy more juice closer to what you think you want. Or buy some 70/30 juice and some 50/50 juice

BTW the lossless way to mix PG and VG is to use the same juice in the same nic, one in PG and one in VG then experiment with different ratios.
