Math check - Older e-liquids

[crxess]

I have a small boat load of < getting old > e-liquids. A bunch of old Dekang and Hangsen(or counterfeits) All at 11/12mg
Many, most have started going Flavor flat, but still have a Nic hit.

Now, I'm down to 3mg and doing DIY, mostly 50/50 blends and happy with my few successful mixes. Still I hate to Waste all this liquid and really don't feel comfortable passing it to someone else.

All of this is about 80pg/20vg or maybe all pg

I'm assuming I can use it cut to 1ml added to 3ml plain VG and be around 3mg.
Yes/No ?

Exact really doesn't matter as long as it is Low. I plan on using most Dripping at home and could easily add new Flavoring to a few to bring them back a bit.

I also have a small load of early DIY attempts I'm slowly weeding out. A few combinations really saved many ml of not so good attempts.


Any thoughts on all of this?

I understand the need not to be wasteful but DIY is cheap enough now that I just don't vape juice I don't like. You can reduce the nic level like you suggested and then add flavorings to try to bring it back up, but I would prefer just to make up new fresh juice that I liked.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of men? The shadow knows! hehehehe

The same goes for e-juice.

I vote for a new batch you'll enjoy.

Good + good sometimes =good
Bad + good rarely = good

To answer the math part of your question, if you mix 1 ml of 12 mg juice with 3 ml of anything with no nic, you will have a mixture with 3 mg/ml nic concentration. Whether it will be worth vaping or not I can't say, but I am a miser by nature and hate to waste anything, so I understand where you are coming from. But do taste the old juice first, to make sure it is just bland or flat, not awful tasting or rancid. That would definitely be a case of throwing good after bad.

If you have 1 ml all PG with 12 nic and add 1 ml PG and 2 ml VG, you’ll get 4 ml 50/50 with 3 nic.

Yes, testing first is a must. I have already wasted enough in past attempts to save Bad juices. Bad is definitely Bad.

Remember, I'm the guy that accidentally made Baby Powder.......several times.


I have several Fruits, just flat/weak
I have a Cappuccino...... Smells like Fish Oil - PeeUuuuhy - Definitely a Dump
Couple of Nasty Base Mixes from one supplier - All Garbage

Some exotic Tobacco blends(Son gifted) Might try a few drops in an unflavored. Doubt I'll like any of those. Haven't touched Tobacco flavors in 18months with the exception of RY4D (RWHY4D variant)

Maybe I should just dump most of this and make room for Better excess.

I would dump it all and reuse the bottles for your new ventures (which is my plan for about 30 bottles that a relative gifted to me).

Or how about this: dump it all into a big bottle, shake it up real good, and see how gross it is. Then you can either a.) hide it away somewhere for when you are really hard up, or b.) dispose of the whole mess.
