Juice Question

[Jammin]

Hello all, I am ordering a few new juice flavors, and wasn't sure if the 80/20 blend meant 80% pg and 20% vg? Is that what it means, or the other way around?

Also, if they have a juice but a dropdown to select strength doesn't show up (but does on other juices) does that mean it is likely 0 nic content? This is from VIP Vapes. No strength was mentioned in the ad for Butterscotch lifesavers and no option to choose a strength. It was only $1.50 for 6 ml's so it must have no nic I am thinking.

You are correct that 80/20 typically means 80% pg/20% vg.

I looked at the site and the $1.50 for 6 mls is a bottle of flavoring intended to flavor a base liquid.

THANKS! I did not know it was just the flavoring.

That's usually the case, but not always. Vapor Bomb for example lists VG first.

Vapor Bomb for example lists VG first.

Well then, that makes no sense at all. Almost every vendor lists PG/VG percentage.

I think you can assume that the percent ratio will follow the same order as the initial ratio. For example Vapor Bomb clearly states it's a VG / PG ratio. Many other vendors will say it's a PG / VG ratio.

I have 2 suggestions:

1: don't buy from a crazy mixed up vendor.
2: make your own juice.

It's not hard at all. A simple big batch of base fluid (i.e. 60ml 80/20 pg/vg @ 24mg nic strength) + PG and VG will be easy to add flavor to in 5ml batches. Total cost = around 60 cents per 5ml. You can get the nicotine juice from RTS Vapes or MyFreedomSmokes. If you vape at high nicotine levels then get 100mg juice, if you vape at 24mg and down go with 60mg it's cheaper that way. I recommend 100% PG base because PG tends to cost more than VG ($3.12 for 177ml at Walmart First Aid section, labeled USP Glycerin is VG) and you'd have to use more PG then to counter the VG of the base. The Perfumer's Apprentice (TPA) is the cheapest place to get flavors but cheaper isn't always better. I love their Double Chocolate Clear and Peanut Butter. Their Caramel Candy is good too. Avoid their tobaccos though unless you want to try a SMALL bottle (they're iffy). Perhaps Caramel Candy with some Butterscotch would make for a similar flavor to what you are looking for? You could make 5 bottles or more for the cheapest priced 5ml bottles you get from a vendor. I use 10% flavor so that's .5mg per 5ml if that helps you figure out how much flavoring you'll need. You can get a free ejuice mixing calculator from EJUICEMEUP. It's awesome. I find that my DIY produces more vapor than the stuff I bought from vendors, tastes better, and because it's clear (due to the flavors I chose) it makes my cartos last twice as long before cleaning. You'll also need some bottles (be they new or used) and an oral syringe (walmart) and a 1cc/mg syringe for small measurements (RTS vapes sells them). 50 bucks total got me a 3-6 month supply of DIY juice (not sure how much I vape on average yet since I'm still newish). Still, I've already found 3 All-Day vapes. If you have any questions I'd be glad to help. Also you can watch videos on YouTube to see how easy it is. Do a search for "DIY Ejuice" and enjoy.

Other flavor vendors: Cappela's, Goodejuice, Flavourart, and LorAnn.
