15-20%? That's approximate 15-20 drops for 5ml, 30-40 drops for 10ml, according to ejuice me up calculator! No wonder... I did only 5 drops (5%) of cappuccino flavor in 5ml PG/VG, kept getting same sweet taste even I added 3 more drops... I thought it was like Health Cabin flavors I bought, as they recommended start with 1-3%... Hmm... I'm going to try again the flavors I bought from my local bakery supplies. Million thanks mafig!

I also found 70%PG/30%VG is close to my liking. I tried 75%PG/25%VG too, but do you think there any different with that little 5%?

I'm wondering, some people vape only VG... I heard some found it hard to breath if they vape only VG, some got headache?! I saw there's many only VG base ejuices in Lelong.com... asked them how many percent PG/VG and they refused to answer and said that was the secret not to tell...(what the...:mad:) Only one told me it's 100%VG!?!:blink: I was thinking to buy some from them and distill it to 75%PG/25% and also lower it nicotine level since I can't take too much nic... 12mg of nic gave me lot of headaches and cheat pain... Now I'm vaping Hangsen French Pipe(80%PG/20%VG, 12mg nic) which has distilled to 75%PG/25% 5-6mg nic, no more headache and cheat pain. Taste did missed a lot but still got its nice aroma, TH(I think it's the nic) still there but light, just got more sweet taste(I think it's P/VG)... anyway I like it! Again, thanks to ejuice me up calculator so I can(or know how to) mix it up and down my ejuice!
:):banana:

A 100% VG means its mixed with H2O. VG is too thick to use straight.
Dump the dropper use and buy some cheap measuring glassware from amazon or rts. Makes DIY juice so much easier.

So, they mixed with water(cheapest juice..:D)... and normally how many % of H2O they've mixed?

I have been looking for a dropper and any measuring tools but didn't know what they looks like... I use only syringe... It's a pain trying to pump in the VG in syringe even I've used the largest syringe needle...slow..:facepalm: Do you have any photos or links that I can refer? Thanks in advance, mol!

hey guys...great thread....anyways...I been lurking around the bakery supplies store in my area and well..at least I found glycerin. As for flavors..all I could find were the usual common Star brand and the store's store made brand. When I asked the store owner if the flavor concentrate was PG base or water base...he gave me a blank look and says...he thinks its water but have no idea.

Anyways...I took home a mango flavored "Star" brand flavor. I have at home a 12mg nico 70/30 unflavored mix ready....made 5ml...added 2ml mango...and it came out not too bad...just the throat hit was a bit rough...so added a few drops of VG...and it was smooth sailing all the way...

I'm just wondering if you guys have any idea what is the base liquid for these flavors?

sure, If your just mixing for personal use you will need a 5 ml Measuring Cylinder for adding flavor. A 10 ml Measuring Cylinder for making your nic base,,nic,VG,PG. And a 50mm funnel.Just make sure its glass.
RTSvapes.com has this glassware but some you can find cheaper at amazon.com.

..can be PG,VG,water and alcohol..but if the product is halal there should be no alcohol in it..when buying VG or PG make sure it is "food certified"..should be safe if bought in shop selling food products..dont get hold of VG product use for killing mosquitoes,like in this photo..regards mafig

i was wondering too, since most online sites they do mention that their flavoring is 100% PG. Asked my seller and he only told me the flavoring is water soluble..?? Coz if the flavoring is PG then have to take into account into the mix right. So if my nic is also PG based then to do a 50/50 mix with 9mg nic (36mg base) it will be: 50% VG + 25% flavor + 25% nic. as the flavor and nic is PG, no need to add extra PG (depends on ur formula/recipe).

when i first started, i thought the flavoring is water based, so by targetting 50/50 i actually ended up with like 80/20 or something hehehh... but now exclusively enjoying my own juices (sounds very dirty hahaaa).

..all depends on the flavors U choose...like fruit flavors my mixture can be upto 20%..coffee maybe upto 15% but stronger flavors like "durian" i only need to use less than 10% and still very potent(i still have 7ml left after almost a year since i made it..love to eat the durian but vape not so..hahah..by the way PG is a runny liquid unlike VG is a very viscous fluid..VG for vapor and PG for "throat hits"..my mixture i like is 70% PG/30%VG..good combustion with good vapor & throat hits..also cartomizer will last longer..i am getting 2 months usage be4 my carto lasted about a month especially if the VG is much higher..VG & PG are natural sweetener..must be the sucrose in the making of PG & VG..good luck..hope U find yr ideal mixture..happy vaping :)..regards mafig

yes that would be the case taking into account yr flavor is not VG base(U can tell if it is..as the flavor liquid would be thick unlike others..water,PG or alcohol base)..Ok good luck and happy vaping:)...regards mafig
