Mixed up some Flavor West Lemonade last night at 15% (15PG/70VG/15SW) and this stuff is fantastic!!!

One of those flavors that smells and tastes EXACTLY like what it is! Refreshing and tart with a slightly dry throat hit and plenty of clouds...

As usual it's a citrus so there will be separation, just shake it occasionally and it may crack plastic tanks.

Add a dash of strawberry to make Freckled Lemonade...or some extra sour or sweetener to taste.

I'm assuming SW is Distilled Water

You got a death wish 15%?? That's 150mg/ml :ohmy:
As noted by others, the 15% refers to the flavor mentioned right before the percentage, I mix my nic at 10mg, I never use a percentage to denote nic content.


I'm assuming SW is Distilled Water
Close...Saline Water (medical grade)

To make it perfectly clear:

15% PG ( because that is also the percentage of the flavoring that is PG base)
15% Medical grade Saline Water ( to thin the high VG and it's easier on the TH)
70% VG (including 10mgs worth of VG based nicotine, I wish all flavoring came in VG)

That's a problem that sometimes happens over here, some people use percentages instead of mg/ml, oh well I suppose I made a few people laugh :facepalm:

eLiquids over here are sometimes quoted in percentages so that 1.8% = 18mg/ml therefore 15% would be deadly.

Although I now realise he was talking about the flavouring, I think you have your figures wrong, liquid percentages are always based on the fact of 1 litre of D/water weighs 1kg therefore 1000mg/ml and so a concentration of 15% nic would be 150mg/ml, and not a percentage of the product that you have.

Even if he was using 15% nicotine base (which is sold to us at 100mg/mL max), he'd be at 15mg/mL. He meant the flavor, though.

My figures were correct, but were based on the assumption that the OP is using 100mg/mL nicotine, which is all that is available to use here in the states I believe. Using 100mg/mL nicotine base at 15% equates to 15mg/mL final product. If he was using pure nicotine, or 1,000mg/mL, and mixed 15% of that in his juice, then you would be correct. However, as I said, I don't believe pure nicotine is available to average consumers here in the states. I sure hope it's not.

I have read others post recipes in this fashion, and it is always under the assumption that one is using 100mg/mL base. Example -

10mL 50/50 PG/VG Recipe
1.5mL VG Nicotine base (15%)
1.0mL PG Strawberry (10%)
0.5mL PG Cream (5%)
3.5mL VG
3.5mL PG

Yes I can see where you are coming from 15% of the recipe, but the reason for my comment was that he didn't actually say that a: it was flavouring (yes he mentioned that in brackets) or b; that it was "of the recipe", anyway now that I realise it was of the recipe I'll jst fade away into the background :facepalm:
