Mixing Help...

[jackieshoes]

I am on a mission to mix some 0 nic juice. In my arsenal I have some blank carts, syringes, dropper bottles, PG, and some assorted flavors.

I'm not sure if I just put some flavoring in the PG or if I need to cut the PG with anything??

Help please I have been reading in the DIY forums, and can't seem to find a lot in the zero nic category...

Thanks for everything

Straight PG shouldn't need to be cut. A mix of about 80%PG to 20% flavoring should work well with most flavors. Some will require more, some less. It's mostly trial and error.
If you still want to try to get a little throat hit from it, try adding a little pure grain alcohol or vodka. Hope this helps.

well, this might be difficult indeed. I suggest trying a combo of around 80% VG five or so drops of PGA and 20% flavoring. Might even want add some water to that. Or add some PG with the VG like 40%, 40% if you want. Really it is all about trying it out and recording the results

it should not need to be cut.. the cutting with water is only done if the liquid is thicker than you like it..

everclear cuts it also and helps with throat hit..

with only pg you could probably start with 10% flavor since the taste of the nicotine is not there to cover up

Lab really explained everything that I didn't. I am still new myself and don't use water. I just use PGA, VG, flavor, and the nicotine solution. I just hear about people using water. But lab seems to know exactly what you should do.

Thank you all so much! Looks like the only thing I'll be needing to stock up on is more PG (once I play with all that I have) a small bottle of Everclear, and MORE FLAVORS!

so PGA or Everclear is better to use than distilled water?? Good to know since I plan of being a mad scientist when I receive my unflavored juice I've ordered. My husband thinks I'm nuts

Look for a cake supply store close to where you live. Those seem to hold the motherload for DIY flavorings.

I found LorAnn's flavorings at Hobby Lobby. Not sure if they're nationwide or not.............

I can't find flavor anywhere but online. And so far the only flavors that are not oils that work for me is cranberry and marshmellow. I wasted so much money on flavors that i will never use again. I am sticking to 2 drops of oil and 20% marshmallow flavor for awhile

the pga or everclear is more to give a throat hit..

you should post the flavors you have that you did not like in the classifieds or check out that http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/classifieds-swaps/82111-new-free-pay-forward-us-only.html thread..

I make my own 0-nic in 3ml bottles. Rough recipe:

70% PG
30% VG
a couple of drops of 151 rum (Don't have PGA, and already had the rum)
a few drops of flavoring.

Go a little light on the flavoring at first and try it again after it's set about 12 hours. A couple of flavors I've tried have gotten stronger after setting, Loranns Cherry in particular. Its a lot easier to add another drop then to take one out! I've also used McCormick flavoring, but it isn't as concentrated.

I use this to extend some of my carts and as is when I'm chain vaping in front of the computer at night. The added VG gives a lot better vapor in my opinion.
